Retreat Philosophy
You belong at Fulcrum. You belong at Equilibrium The Retreat.
If what's offered in the retreat program interests you then Equilibrium The Retreat is for you.
You're interested to explore what you want in your career, connections, and community, and you want to learn and build the steps to move that vision forward.
You want to learn from coaches, teachers, and professionals who can provide inspiration and new ways of approaching your experience. Equilibrium The Retreat is for you.
Previous iterations of Equilibrium Group Coaching have been for female entrepreneurs. The sessions included incredible people and the gendered distinction excluded too many incredible people.
Equilibrium The Retreat and all group coaching programs from Fulcrum going forward are for everyone. They are for you. You belong at Fulcrum. You belong at Equilibrium The Retreat. You belong here.
Equilibrium The Retreat is centered on three values:
-
Belonging
-
Learning
-
Getting in Focus
Every event, sponsor, partner, and presenter we choose to include has a strong match to the values of the retreat.
What does that mean? It means we look to:
-
provide multiple ways to pay to increase equity in participation
-
encourage everyone who signs up can participate in a way that is meaningful to them
-
provide multiple ways of interacting with others and the content at the retreat
-
provide ways to engage self awareness, systems awareness, and clear takeaways
-
provide ways for participants to self-assess where they are and how they are feeling at any given time and make choices that are best for them
-
embrace that each person is on their own learning continuum and there is no right or wrong way to learn or experience learning, belonging, and getting in focus
-
embed Universal Design for Learning in all content
-
use neutral bias-free language as much as our knowledge and experience allow, with a commitment to continuous learning
