Elision™ “The Art of Graceful Change”

An Elision refersd to that point of transition where the conclusion of one phase of life activity evolves and blends seamlessly into the next phase. Elisions are personally meaningful times that require mindful preparation with thoughtful follow-through - above all, deep artistry, good fortune and an element of grace.

Elision is a program for people entering a significant transition in their lives who wish to create for themselves a future that reflects more of who they are – for people who want to create a life that they can passionately care about. If you want to make a successful transition, create a healthy balance and harmony amongst your health, well-being, relationships, and work, then Elision will help you do this.

• How will I spend my time?
• I am getting older but how will that affect what I do?
• I am seeking a new career, at this stage of my life, what will that be?
• If I retire, what will I find to be as meaningful as my work?
• I have wanted to do many things but work has prevented me form pursuing them, what are the avenues I can now pursue?
• What will these changes mean for my friendships and for my family?
• Can I really change my life?

Elision does not teach you about the transition, it elicits from you that which is ready to be explored, discovered and created. Elision helps you explore a variety of possibilities and discover and work with talents and interests that may be active or dormant. Based on this exploration and discovery you can create the first steps of how you will navigate the transition into your new ‘era of living’ that is ripe with possibility and potential. You use your experience to create thoughtful, holistic, intelligent plans and pathways. The program helps you create reference points based on what is truly meaningful to you.

Elision helps break the spell of a work-focused life. From this new place, you can weave well-known threads of your life together with newly discovered threads into a tapestry for your next years – a life that you can passionately care about. You use your experience to create thoughtful, holistic, intelligent plans and pathways. The Elision™ program helps you to create reference points for your life that are based on what is truly meaningful to you.

"We cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life’s morning; for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie."

Carl Jung

We are all faced throughout our lives with a series of transitions, changes, adaptations, responses and reactions to our life experiences. We are often faced with the constant challenge to change and grow. It starts with our conception when we physically began to grow and then for the rest of our life growth, change, adaptation, letting go, surrender, dying, rebirth become a consistent theme.

We can go about this life journey unconsciously, bumping into the furniture and experiencing both conscious and unconscious distress. Or, we can stop, take time to reflect and with thoughtful guidance, come to consciously follow a path that is deeply meaningful. Through the seasons of our lives, many of us come to ask different questions, deeper questions about what is meaningful in our lives at this particular phase?

Carl Jung spoke of this in his book, "The Stages of Life: The Structures and Dynamics of the Psyche"
We have no schools for 40 year olds; our religions were always schools in the past but how many people regard them like that today. The human being would certainly not grow to be 70 or 80 years old if this longevity had no meaning for the species. Whoever carries over into the afternoon the law of the morning must pay for it, with damage to his soul.

It is no longer just a luxury to stop and reflect on the path and the meaning of ones life. It becomes a necessity and an integral part of retaining our health and well being on all levels. Harmony, acceptance, balance and integrity with ones own "Self" is foundational to ensuring our health and vitality.
