Mapping Your Path into 2021

3-month ONLINE WORKSHOP

WHAT IF… you chose not to roll into the New Year with some half-baked resolutions, but carved the time to be intentional about your goal setting so you’re ready to go come January 1st? And all while having some FUN + community!

Set yourself up for success in the New Year starting now.
Take off the pressure. Allow yourself to explore, flourish, and thrive.

YOU ARE HERE.
Where do you want to be?

It’s not every year that we live through a (never-ending) worldwide pandemic, reach next level reckoning of Black Lives Matter, enter an incessant, unforgiving news cycle of extreme events, not to mention, fighting our own personal battles on top of it. Let’s take a collective deep breath and acknowledge that it’s been a lot. And yes, THIS ALL REALLY DID HAPPEN! And, no, it’s not over yet.

It’s almost as if the universe wanted us to hit a collective reset and ask:

• What are our priorities?

• How do we want to be spending our time?

• Who do we want to be spending our time with?

• Where do we want to be?

  
  

It’s time to be INTENTIONAL

At the same time the world moves so fast that we have to be intentional to MAKE the time to reflect on these questions. While these questions should always be questions we’re asking ourselves, in 2020 they became more relevant than ever before. 

The rules for controlling the way we move through life have changed. It’s easy to get sucked in deeper, or find ways to resist and change course, working within the constraints of what comes our way, getting more creative in the process. 

If we’ve learned anything this year it’s that we can’t always predict the future. On the flip side, anything is possible.  

Mapping Your Path is a 3-month workshop that follows you into the new year. It’s about taking stock of where you are now, and where you want to be.

You may already be clear on the destination, or you may be looking for more clarity. Either way, the journey is the destination, and together we’ll walk through exercises to build our own toolkit to help carry us through whatever the future holds. 

We’re in the final stretch of 2020, but getting to January 1st is not the finish line. It’s a ceremonial new beginning. For many it's the day they decide to make changes. Chances are you’ve already discovered—and maybe even the hard way—that change doesn’t happen overnight.

Change is a practice, one where you need to build muscles over time. There are steps we can start taking now. We’re going to imagine our futures in a way you never have before, through creative mapping and community. 

That’s the premise of MYP2021. We’re using the last quarter of the year to explore and set ourselves up for success—and curveballs—as we enter the new year. We’re at a crossroads, and it’s time to be intentional about where we go next.

You’ll have the opportunity to explore paths and possibilities that aren’t always the obvious path, or the one society has set you out to follow. During our three months together detours are welcome, invited, and encouraged.

This isn’t your typical goal setting.
This is about exploration.

The best part is, you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll have your own guide and fellow explorers of the world (all over the world) by your side no matter where you are or where you are going.

By the end of our 3 months together you’ll have:

• A renewed sense of direction

• A renewed sense of clarity and focus

• A renewed sense of calm and inner peace

• A renewed sense of self and the journey you’re on

• A renewed sense of energy to carry into your life and work

• A renewed sense of creativity

• A realization that you’re in it for the long game and not instant gratification

• A realization that more isn’t necessarily better

• A realization that sometimes slowing down is how you go further, faster

• A feeling of inspiration, fulfilment, and new confidence to carry forward

• Reminders to find joy and have fun

• Permission to explore, experiment, and try new things
  
  

You’ll take all this into the New Year, where you’ll already know that ANYTHING is possible! And just imagine what you’re going to be able to create with all of that…

When was the last time you voluntarily allowed yourself to get lost?!?!

PERMISSION TO GET LOST

When you think of maps in 2020 chances are your brain goes to whatever digital map you have installed on your phone. The little blue dot tells you where you are, and when you type in a destination, the line tells you where to go. We rarely think to question it, following it like the dot knows best.

We’re so focused on the destination that sometimes we forget where we’re going, why we’re going there, or how to get there the way we best know how. There are so many external forces at work guiding us, that we can all too easily ignore our internal compass.

We can get so focused on the destination that we can forget to enjoy the ride. The journey is the destination, after all. 

Slowing down doesn’t come naturally for most of us. In fact, you probably went kicking and screaming into your COVID quarantine before starting to feel just the tiniest bit of relief at having all the obligations stripped away.

All too often we get sucked into the vortex of society (who sets those standards anyway?), from hustle culture to doing what we think we’re supposed to do. As we Map Your Path into 2021 we’ll take the time to pause, explore, and ask ourselves questions we’ve been ignoring for too long.

We’ll play and have fun as we start to chart our course forward, making sure our priorities are in check.

You have permission to slow down, reflect about you and your life.

HOW IT WORKS

Mapping Your Path into 2021 sets sail on Friday, Oct 16! Every two weeks we’ll alternate between live workshop calls and office hours/co-working calls on Zoom. We’ll stay connected through online community in between sessions.

• Monthly live workshops with mini projects (3)
  As we’re kicking off mid-month, these workshops will happen Friday Oct 16, Nov 13, and Dec 11; 5-6:30pm CET). Each workshop will be 1.5 hr. These lessons will all be recorded so there’s no stress if you can’t make them all!

  The idea is you’ll have time to work on each month’s project during the sessions. It’s up to you how much time you want to devote to the the prompts and projects outside of time we’re on calls together. (There is no grade at the end, this is for you!!)
  

• Monthly office hours/co-work sessions for Q&A + working together (4)
  Office hour live calls will be on alternate between live workshops. These sessions will meet on Thursdays: Oct 29, Nov 19, Dec 17, Jan 14 wrap up. (Calls are tentatively 4-5:30pm CET)
  

• Monthly mini group calls (3)
  Once a month there will also be an opportunity to hop on mini group calls. These are 5 people max, and a bit of a lottery meets magic system. We’ll connect and chat about whatever you’re working on, and you’re welcome to share or ask for feedback and support. The day/time for these calls will be vary and adapted to meet as many schedules as possible. You’ll sign up each month through Calendly.
  

• Private Slack community
  In additional to email updates and encouragement, we’ll also have a private Slack community for weekly check-ins, resource sharing, sharing your progress, and to help noodle over anything you’re working on.

We’ll take a 2-week pause around the holidays (yes, pauses are essential in the discovery journey), and we’ll have a couple weeks to hold court in the new year, before we wrap up on JAN 14.

Goal: Remove overwhelm, NOT add more to your to do list.

Meet your guide:

Anne S. Ditmeyer (aka Prêt à Voyager, translation: ready to travel) has never been one to do things the traditional way. From being a member of the men's crew team in college to starting her own business in France (which eventually earned her dual citizenship), Anne has always been guided by "her own special gyroscope" as her mom would say. She believes "travel is not about where you go, but how you see the world." Her year abroad had a huge influence in how she sees the world and approaches her work, driven by experience and viewing the city as her classroom. She believes in sharing "alternative narratives" or the stories we don't always hear. Creativity and fun is at the heart of all the work she does, and is at the core of Mapping Your Path into 2021.

This 3-month program isn’t anything you learned in school. It’s unwiring a lot of what you thought you know, focusing on your own inner compass, and inviting in creative exploration as you set yourself up for a year like none other.

Think: Playground of possibilities + exploration

The perks:

• If you can’t join live all the video lessons will be posted in the workspace.

• If you miss a week (or more), it’s not the end of the world. We’ve got 3 months together!! Lessons are paced out intentionally to avoid overwhelm and allow you to go deeper rather than doing more. (There’s time to noodle on it!). 

• We’ll be a close knit group so you won’t get lost in the sea of others like in many group trainings. You’ll get personal attention.

• You can turn to the online community whenever you need help, support, or an extra nudge. We can dig into those things that have been calling you and brainstorm different ways to get there.

• In the mini group calls you never know what amazing humans you’ll meet and what synchronicity may happen.

• You’ll flex different muscles and have a ton of fun! (And there may be maps on bananas, for inquiring minds…)

• You’ll head into the New Year with a sense of peace, control, and feeling ready for anything. 

• You may just grow and surprise yourself in the process!

What you’ll walk away with:

• Exploratory maps

• New exercises to help your inner compass stay on track

• Your own mini guidebook to refer to when things go off course

• A word, theme, or mantra to carry you forward (your guiding force)

• New friends + support system

• A new, empowered mindset!
  
  

Enter the New Year with a sense of calm confidence and joyful enthusiasm for what is to come!
