Saying YES!

"Say YES to the seedlings....

And a giant forest cleaves the sky.

Say YES to the universe...

And the planets become your neighbours.

Say YES to dreams of love and freedom...

It is the password to UTOPIA."

Can you tell we've been having life coaching at Re-Evolve???!!!

Thanks Fiona!! XXX

Fantastic Team Re-Evolve!

What a great couple of weeks! We've been joined by a wonderful new group of volunteers from the Princes Trust. The room's never felt so full of potential! Most of the new members already have a placement - so we'll be helping them to use their experiences to contribute to the careers resource :-) . For those who haven't yet got a placement, we'll help them to find some other great opportunities. 

There's been a really good buzz about the place now that we have quite a few new volunteers! The next step is to start collating some really valuable information so that we can get the website up and running. At least we have a great group of really inspiring people who want to make it all happen!!

Come and see us for a chat if you want to join the project :-).

Come to our Induction Day!

We're all learning so much here at the moment. Planning presentations has kept us very busy and stimulated for the week. All our preparations will culminate in a great day of chatting with potential volunteers on February 18th. It'll give anyone whose interested in joining the project a chance to ask any questions over a nice hot drink and a biscuit or two! If you've got a career you're interested in entering but you don't know where to start, now could be your time to get going :-).

So time for us to continue with preparations!

Hopefully see some of you on the day,

Emily

Another good week!

We've spent this week organising our presentations! It's been great to sit as a group and discuss what the project means to us. The end result will be a really good pair of presentations, one to share with business colleagues and the other to share with future volunteers. We're learning so much from the group collaboration required for this type of work. It's also fun to go slightly mad trying to phrase things exactly as you want them! We're keen to get across Re-Evolve's message in an inspiring and exciting way. Any of you who come along to the inductions mid-february can tell us what you think!!

We think it's all coming together :-).

Positive Plans!

Hello everyone :-), Time for a proper update! This week we've welcomed our new manager Victoria into our Re-Evolve team. The sun is shining on us! Progress so far has been very inspiring and all of us have been motivated to volunteer more of our time to the project! We've implemented a few very exciting changes to the Re-Evolve process. The most important is our plan to offer placements for all new volunteers. This will provide all of us with a fantastic 'real-life' chance to get to know our industry of interest, whilst updating the website with our views and questions. The result will be a website that feels alive and continually buzzing with careers advice. In the longer-term, the scheme can massively benefit young people in Westminster who need a helping hand to manifest their potential :-).

So our next move is to form partnerships with businesses and get the placement scheme well underway. We will keep you updated with the process!

Progress!

So it's all go on the holistic front! I'm really pleased with the progress I've made recently. Going out and meeting practitioners in my field has been very inspiring! I've now got a packed diary full of future meetings with those who are happy to contribute to the project. I'm very grateful to Ricky Gill (NLP Practitioner) for being so enthusiastic and kind. I have just e-mailed one of Britain's youngest life coaches (at 24) to ask her how she does it! Hopefully she'll be interested in contributing to the resource. There was also celebration this morning at the news that an Iridologist is living and practicing in Queen's Park! So I've asked her if she'd like to get involved. I'm now moving towards getting links in the field of Ayurveda and Sound Healing. Singing bowls are a great love of mine, and it's fairly strightforward to show scientifically how they can be used to heal the body. This clip is a great portrayal of how sound affects sand on a flat surface!

Must get on now with more research :-) . Catch up again soon!

pointed focus

Everything has progressed very well this week. I have realigned my focus in order to correspond directly with Re-Evolve's vision. This means that I will be providing a holisitic therapies careers resource to serve the needs of young people. Having researched this field quite extensively whilst I cared for my mum, I have already made contact with practitioners willing to contribute in the following fields:

Journey Practitioner
Reiki Practitioner
Life Coach
MindTalk Practitioner
NLP Practitioner
EFT Practitioner
Psych-K Practitioner

I have been fortunate today to be joined by a colleague with equal passion for this field. Carolina will be starting her contributions to the resource with a focus on Yoga.

I'm delighted this project is really starting to take shape. I am very optimisitic about what it will bring to the careers field to have a thriving holisitic section on the Re-Evolve resource.
