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!

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 next year, 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 what's next 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.

Javan is an excellent facilitator and served as a very effective guide through the Envision workshop. His mastery of the reflection and visioning process which he’s developed and generously shared with others is admirable and a gift to the world.

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!

Javan provides a supportive and intimate group experience where it feels safe to both examine my own thoughts and share when I feel like it. He attends to all group members without pressure or expectation. 

It was very valuable to use my calendar to try and remember what happened during the year! What I never wrote down on my calendar were spontaneous daily experiences like daily meditation and stretching, taking walks whenever possible while listening to podcasts. This is the fabric of my life and became clear when I was doing the values list. I loved the phrase "close the space." Very helpful! And I loved the concept "People are a decision." Thanks for offering this very affordable (for me) class.

Thank you for offering this workshop! Like: SERIOUSLY thank you, you're very good at this and bring the right energy to it. If you continue offering this workshop I will very much enjoy making it my new annual tradition.

Being given the steps in little tiny pieces, with good examples/explanations, realistic timeframe for completing the work (being told to expect to spend several hours on pre-work: yes!), that's all enormously helpful. To feel like a group of us were all "trying together," that feels very motivating and supportive. And the guided visualizations during the workshop were fantastic...there can be a lot of crud in the course of a year, and Javan had a great lens for looking at it all & feeling what was there without getting caught up in it. This workshop is genuinely making a big difference in my year so far. I'd already done a lot of work with values/goals/etc, but this exercise helped me pin-things down into what I want to focus on RIGHT NOW. It took me until February to get it pulled together, but I now have a poster on my wall with my "values/vision" written down, and it's something I interact with every day. 

I wanted to say thank you. The timing in which your workshops appear in my inbox is perfect. I never like to let go of things that I see so much value in. And the tried and true things you have done, Javan, are worth showing up for. This work has lit a fire under me. Thank you. There can't be enough thank yous for this. I really, really appreciate it. I'm oddly excited, to do this process as much work as it is. It's just so valuable. It's exciting to see other people who also see value in designing their own life. Thank you all for being here and for sharing everything. And thank you, Javan, once again.

This was super helpful for me. It was really nice to have a held space. I have a spiritual practice, and my teacher told me I needed to update my compass. Having the health space and process to update my life compass was significant. I've worked with other exercises, but I appreciate having the held space and enthusiasm for the process. I was talking to Javan before we started. I was saying that I kind of know what I need to do, but I didn't know exactly, like I am stuck about how to make it happen. Through the process, I got some ideas; I could do this, or that. I'm unstuck! I know how I can make some of these things that I want happen.

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.
