What Is a Visionary Forum?
Mission:
The mission of Visionary Forum is to assist in the evolution of human consciousness by responding to a dream that people are
having, and by empowering people to create opportunities that support the realization of that dream.
One of the ways we accomplish this goal is by producing inspiring events that activate the visionary within participants.
Visionary Forum inspires people to move beyond an unsatisfying status quo and dream a dream about what their life
can be.
About Visionary Forum
In Roman times a forum was a place where people gathered to discuss important issues in community.
Similarly, the Visionary Forum helps 21st Century people tap into the power of community as they
identify, visualize, describe, share, and realize
dreams that will enhance their lives and the lives of others.
The intention of the Visionary Forum staff is to help you
discover and uncover the visionary within,
so you can begin the exciting journey of dreaming your future. It's your dream — we are here to help you see it, speak it, and
shape it in a supportive environment where people are inspired by your dream and eager to help.
The Visionary Forum Experience
Visionary Forum events are intensive, interactive events in which you are given tools to help you reach the visionary you have
within you, who knows exactly what you want to be, do, and have next in your life.
Unlike many seminars and workshops, you won't be taking notes; you will be listening to your self — both the Self within and
the sound of your public self speaking your dream to others. You will also be listening to others tell their dreams, and you will
find yourself inspired by both their courage and the scope of their vision.
Concerned about speaking to others in a new environment? Not to worry… we make it easy and fun. And it's entirely voluntary.
But you'll probably find yourself wanting to take advantage of this rare opportunity. Here's why…
POWER…
There is enormous power in moving beyond just thinking about a dream to speaking it aloud.
Sharing your dream in public makes it real, tangible — and opens the door for other people with the skills and resources you
need to jump on your bandwagon and help.
You will have many opportunities — if you choose — to visualize your dream, speak it, fine-tune it, and develop the
resources that will help you carry it out of the Forum and into the world.
And who knows…
maybe you'll find you're having so much fun, you'll go for it and step up to the microphone!
What to Expect
At a Visionary Forum you can expect to find both mind and heart engaged in defining and mapping out the route to your dream
in the company of others who have embarked on the same journey.
You will have many opportunities to dream, to reflect to yourself and others, and to shape your vision in the stillness of your
own being. This process is designed to engage all aspects of you.
What will I be doing?
A Visionary Forum typically includes:
- periods of listening to the presenter and to other participants
- times of personal reflection
- opportunities to share with others one-on-one, and
- opportunities to harness the power of speaking your dream aloud to the community
You may find you experience some powerful feelings as you move beyond blocks that have been holding you back from
pursuing your dream. That's healthy — it shows you are moving, growing, evolving. You have been seeking growth — that's
why you signed up!
And you won't be experiencing your transformation alone. Throughout the day you will be surrounded by supportive staff
and fellow participants who can see and celebrate the visionary in you, even as they are activating their own visionary
capabilities.
Benefits of Participating
At a Visionary Forum you will have an opportunity to focus exclusively on identifying a vision and developing the conditions
that will help you achieve it. Each Forum includes opportunities to find people in the room who can help you, and offers
suggestions on how to inspire them to become part of your support team so you can benefit from their expertise both
during the Forum and after you leave the room.
In a nutshell, when you leave, you will know how to…
- Define your vision
- Explain it to others
- Line up support to make your vision real
Follow-Up Opportunities
Graduates of Visionary Forum events are invited to attend special Forum Follow-up Events at either a nominal cost or no
cost, depending on the event. Some of these events offer a place for Forum teams to meet to further develop their plans.
Others are mini-Forums that focus on a specific topic participants wish to re-visit and develop further.
And of course, graduates are invited to sign up for additional Forums. Because you are never in exactly the same place in your
development on two different occasions, and the people in the room are different each time, you are likely to find that
additional Forums offer an entirely different — and equally valuable — experience.
