Why envision the coming year?

Last year, around this time, I started looking to the year ahead. 

I sat down and reviewed the last year, imagined who I'd be in a year's time and checked in with the values that were alive for my current state of being. Those values became my trajectory for the next year.

As I take stock a year latter I realised that, despite a year of unexpected and unprecedented events, I've succeeded and even surpassed my expectations.

I chalk my progress up to never falling into the trap of goals, and being more concerned with my state of being.

I chalk up my success to taking the time to check in with myself and honestly evaluate where I am, and where I want to be.

I chalk up how I feel today to a committed process that doesn't stop or start at a year's end or beginning, but charts a trajectory where I can constantly check where I am and ask:

"Where do I want to go next?"

As I sat down again this year to consider the last year and envision the next, that old feeling of "you should share this with others" came back to invite me yet again to share something that's been so useful and personal for me.

And wouldn't you know it, a colleague reached out and asked: "Are you doing that Envision thingy again?"

I'm delighted to provide this process to help those who are interested in reviewing the year that was, and envisioning the year that is yet to be.
Looking back over the year in the workshop with Javan gave me a better perspective of what I need to implement moving forward to be able to better track and monitor my life's progression. The tools and reflection questions Javan offers create a very supportive and loving space to do so in a nonjudgmental, but observational, way. “When a flower doesn't bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.” Alexander Den Heijer. Working with Javan is helping me to shape, build and create the most healthy, supportive terrain of my dreams!

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop isn't for everyone.

It's a mental, emotional and even spiritual approach to reviewing and envisioning the past and future year. If you're someone who needs a purely mental, or purely emotional, or purely spiritual approach I think you'll be challenged by this process.

In fire fighting training there's a concept of an open and fixed mindset. If you feel you have an open mindset when it comes to a new way of approaching review and reflection, I think you'll enjoy the process.

If you have a growth mindset, one that acknowledges that learning and wisdom comes from experimentation and reflection, and are open to failing, I not only think you'll enjoy the process but thrive in the workshop.

Ultimately this workshop is for those that would like to be guided through a simple yet structured facilitated process that reviews the past year, envisions the next and sets the intention for the values and trajectory for the year to come.

The heart of this workshop is paying attention to our inner nature and landscape and being open to the feedback we receive.

This self-paced workshop allows you flexibility to take the course whenever suits you, start and stop the workshop to explore the exercises, and come back to the workshop over and over. This holds huge potential benefit, but self motivation is a critical ingredient.
Envision inspired me to really dig into the past year of my life and consider who and what influenced my day to day. The workshop asked me to reflect on what my future self needs and desires, and what positive momentum I'd like to carry forward into 2021, and what influences I'd rather leave behind, or not engage in. Javan was a kind, gentle and constructive facilitator. I appreciated the communal aspect of the workshop and having the chance to feel the energies of other people all around the world. It's true that so little of our day to day allows for, or encourages the act of reflection, and the workshop reminded me that I have the power to enact this ritual of reflection for myself. "If you don't design your own life, someone else will design it for you." The workshop helped me feel a little braver in thinking forward to 2021 and dreaming, envisioning, and sculpting the values that I'd like to see represented in my day to day life. It was an overwhelmingly positive experience.

The Process

This workshop will guide participants through a facilitated inward process.

You'll walk away with a different lens to look over the past year and prepare for the next year.

Both heartfelt and logical, the process in this workshop will guide participants through a:

  • structured monthly review of the past year,
  • assessment of the elements that supported your well being during the past year,
  • guided visioning exercise for the next year,
  • distillation of your desired state of being for next year, and
  • setting your intention for the year to come.

This dedicated workshop was a beautiful mix of visualization, note-taking, and sharing. I felt very encouraged by the process and appreciated the energy that Javan and the rest of the participants brought to it. I came away with a good sense of what was uplifting from the past year, and a list of values that I felt would take me closer to my vision for the future. Definitely worthwhile and would highly recommend!

Workshop Elements

This year (2020) is undoubtedly the most significant year that forced me to reflect on my past and current actions – I'm sure many of us felt this way.

Am I moving towards a regenerative path? Am I doing enough? How can I better support the health of my family and community?

I grappled with attempting to answer these questions throughout the year while trying to make sense of our collective shitshow unravelling before my eyes.

Envision 2021 with Javan gave me the clarity to streamline my internal processes. This value-based learning rebooted my operating system of principles and is an excellent reminder of shifting from paralytic thoughts to an incremental mindset. I cannot recommend this enough.

This workshop needs to happen at least twice a year!

Pre-Workshop Exercises

There is approximately 1 - 5 hrs (depending on the level of review you conduct) of prep work before the workshop. 

When you register, instructions for the pre-workshop exercises will be available in the second module.
Javan expertly leads people through a valuable recap of the year behind so you can plan accordingly for the year ahead. Understanding what events, people, and activities had the greatest positive impact on your life over the past months enables you and challenges you to bring those positives to the forefront in the months and years ahead. The goal is to fill your life with more of those positive life experiences of growth and healthy stress, leaving the negative experiences of decay and distress behind, and Javan’s workshop is an empowering tool to arrive at the doorstep of that goal in a matter of hours.

Final Thoughts

Thanks for taking the time to read about this year's workshop.

If you join the workshop or not, I hope you take the time to review and reflect during this time of year.

Compounded over time, the results of review, reflection and then envisioning the year to come are simply astounding.

If you're ready to jump in, I look forward to seeing you in the workshop.

The very best to you and yours for this upcoming year and beyond.

Javan K. Bernakevitch
