Preparation

1 month pre-retreat

Prepare for the retreat by participating in pre-retreat live online yoga classes, engaging in preparatory activities, and attending the Meet n Greet session via Zoom.

A follow-up 1:1 coaching session is scheduled approximately 1-2 months after the immersion phase to further support your journey.

Emotional Intelligence Assessment

As a professional certified coach, Dori is a licensed practitioner in the Learning in Action EQ Assessment Tool

Flourishing in life is closely linked to self-awareness, emotional agility and responding to situations and conflict in healthy ways. Developing and attuning to ones’ own Emotional Intelligence  (EQ) is a fundamental people and life skill.  EQ includes (and not limited to) developing self-awareness and knowing one’s emotions, managing emotions, motivating oneself in order to maximize  creativity and mastery in your interactions, recognizing emotions in others (empathy and compassion) and navigating relationships. (Goleman, 1995).  

The EQ tool is accessed online and a report is sent to Dori. We will debrief the report in the Preparation phase online before the retreat so that you have some additional data in your toolkit to explore. Choose the add-on when you register, or think about it and add it to your cart later. Deadline to purchase the EQ Assessment is 3 weeks before the retreat.
