Introduction 

This heuristic* learning week in Costa Rica is animated by authors and training consultants Lawrence Poole and his life-partner Suzy Ethier, and their team. It's designed to help participants discover, develop and profit from their « creative capital ».

Our beliefs about the world shape our experience of it.  Quantum physics and neuroscience confirm that our perception is an indivisible aspect of our experience. Beliefs affect perception by shaping a bias to information that tends to be self-fulfilling. Called the paradigm effect, beliefs can either empower or sabotage us.

In order to overcome the limits imposed by our largely unconscious paradigmatic belief structures, this training tour and adventure-week will use a « springboard story » - i.e. a narrative device told to share knowledge. Throughout the story theme, at appropriate times, the empowerment process will be effectivelydemystified.

Springboard stories don't have to be believed nor disbelieved as they only supply the context for transmitting information (the content). Via the Visionary Flight story, you will be introducd to the 5 roles of a creative leader with activities that shorten the learning curve. You'll also discover empowering tools and syntheses during multimedia animations and interactive small-group discussions.

The result of the process is a transformative « whole-brain » experience.
* ( Heurism: From the Greek meaning : Self-discovery. Our training method shortens the learning curve by combining exciting adventures, stimulating themes and efficient tools
and syntheses that require participants to etch new neural pathways. The experience offers a dynamic context in which information is acquired as a unifying whole.
Heuristic learning allows one to integrate cognitive experiences with activities, feedback techniques, discussions and multimedia presentations by experts.)

 

"Our educational programs have helped thousands of leaders bypass their limits and blockages by orchestrating a direct experience of the information we share. Because the key to SELF-empowerment is "Know thyself!", our heuristic learning programs are an experiential way to examine the motivation, strategy and creativity needed to actualize your highest potential. As such, our animations and activities focus on the transfer of information requiredfor an empowered life." Lawrence Poole (Click here to see a 7.5 minute video of Lawrence discussing heuristic learning in Costa Rica .)

"Our classroom is that part of Costa Rica that houses the greatest concentration of biological diversity on Earth. Via treks on the high andean paramo, a user-friendly and prosperous valley, the mystic and humid rainforest jungles and sultry Pacific beaches - you'll be introduced to Nature's beauty and Intelligence. Along the way, you'll discover your own creative nature." Suzy Ethier

General Objectives:

The « art of creative thinking » is a survival skill now considered essential for personal and professional success and happiness. This program supplies the "know-how" required to optimize that potential. At the end of this intensive 7 day experience, you will have learned how Nature's self-organizing principles compel us todevelop our « creative capital » and thereby acquire "personal power" in the process.

While touring Costa Rica and profiting from its sylvantherapy effects, you'll be exposed to knowledge that is inspiring, empowering, challenging and absolutely appropriate to these changing times. You will learn to expand your mind from being relatively reactive to life's events and circumstances, to being proactive for the apprenticeship period, to creative and even magical, or in harmony with life events and circumstances, as a result of the process.
