A familiar moment
You understand yourself better than you used to. Yet sometimes, the familiar reaction gets there first.
A conversation becomes the same argument. You second-guess a decision you were excited about. You reach for something you would love, then hear all the reasons it won’t work.
From How? To WOW! gives you space to explore the language, beliefs, feelings, and old agreements beneath those moments. And support as you practice choosing a different response.
More room to listen before a familiar story takes over.
More clarity about what you would love, and what’s holding you back.
A practice to return to when you notice yourself living on repeat.
The user’s manual for conscious co-creation
Your words, beliefs, and feelings influence what you notice, how you interpret an experience, and what you do next. The Quantum Leap Technique™ helps you begin recognizing that process as it happens.
Listen for the automatic language and assumptions that show up around the things you would love to change.
“There’s that familiar story again.”
Separate what happened from what you decided it means about you, other people, or what’s possible.
“Is that what happened, or what I made it mean?”
Work with your language and feelings, then choose how you would love to meet the moment in front of you.
“What would I love to choose now?”
This is what we mean by learning the manual: recognizing the patterns shaping your experience and practicing a more conscious way to participate in your life.
Explore the ExperienceBefore, during & after
You’ll hear the principles, explore them through exercises, and recognize how they show up in your own life. Mark and Michelle guide the work in a small group, with room for reflection, coaching, and real-life application.
Your live preparation call and the included, pre-recorded My Words Shape My World class introduce the foundational ideas so you arrive ready to participate.
Three full days of live teaching, experiential exercises, personal reflection, and coaching. You’ll practice the Quantum Leap Technique™ with the patterns you’re beginning to recognize.
Your eye photographs are taken during the retreat. Your private session is scheduled separately afterward to continue exploring the patterns and insights that emerge.
