So why did I create an Immersion in-person class and what will the week entail?
After teaching a basic in-person BQH class the past few years, I’ve come to believe there are those practitioners that just need the ‘in-person’ experience to be the best practitioner they can be. As good as the online class is, for some it’s just not enough. And what I have also found is some of the MOST experienced and well known BQH practitioners (Hello Allison Coe) have shown up to gather with their peers. The Immersion Experience is all about ‘hands on, immersive’ work… it’s about practicing your skills along with plenty of other activities, surprises, experimentation, Q&A, storytelling, open discussions and explorations. There’s also great food, fun and down time after class with new friends!
We start the week with a Meet & Greet on the Sunday late afternoon before the start of class Monday morning so we can get to know each other a little bit. Class starts Monday morning and runs through Thursday late afternoon. On Fridays, we like to head out to our farm from about 10-2 (weather permitting) for a brunch and casual wrap-up to the week. The photo pictured is an actual image from our southern hay field. There are lots of animals, walking trails, prolific woods, several ponds, a creek and an energy portal where we have experienced great and wonderful cosmic events, and which is also a great place to meditate. This day is of course optional, and somewhat weather dependent, but every class for the last few years has loved it, so we highly recommend you stick around to de-compress from a high-energy week before heading home.
Class starts each day early at 8AM and runs until about 5:30. The days will be a mix of some high-level refresher academics, context-oriented storytelling, open Q&A plus lots of practical experience and creative exercises of a variety of types. Given the nature of this course and the experience level of the students, we will be fluid and adjust each day based on the needs, desires and interests of the group in attendance. You’ll be split up into groups (typically of 3, but sometimes just 2) and I, and usually a few other very experienced practitioners who show up to help and offer guidance for each group so everyone can facilitate and receive sessions during the week.
Once again for our first class in 2024 we will be renting a large local Air BnB Lakehouse in Augusta Kansas to host the event. The Kitchen will be cooking with fresh, delicious and organic food for our lunches and the many bedrooms right in the house will be available to book to stay right there if that sounds wonderful to you. We know for some practitioners that would be just way too much “people” time so the local Comfort Inn and a Motel 6 is just down the road. Of course other nearby Air BnB’s are also always available and you are welcome to find other nearby accommodations.
