Callings: Individual and Group Programs for Consciousness and Life Direction

What is calling you? What is this stirring, this discontent, this yearning?

Callings is an ancient concept, honoring an invisible force in the human psyche—as throughout nature—that guides and coaxes, sometimes clearly, other times blindly, toward a goal, a greater purpose or destiny.

Callings may be embedded in persistent symptoms, revealed in dreams, or evidenced in curious synchronicities. It may be difficult to discern the meaning of call, or a call may become obscured by the demands of our complex lives, or simply ignored out of fear or self doubt.

Introduction to Callings

A two-hour session to familiarize people with underlying concepts of Callings. It also serves as the first session for those electing to continue with the Individual Intensive. $50-$75 (sliding scale) per hour.

The Individual Intensive

A six to eight hour process, generally conducted in three segments scheduled at the participant’s convenience. Other scheduling options, such as a single full-day session, are also available. $50-75 (sliding scale) per hour for a 2-hour session

The Dyad Intensive

Same as the Individual Intensive, except for two people. $35/person/ hour

Group Workshops

One or two day workshops for small groups. Call for the date of the next workshop, or to organize one for your group or organization. Fee variable.

What is being called up from you at this specific time in your life…at this particular time in the world?

The Callings Intensive turns up the volume of your capacity to “ listen”, to “see”, and to “ feel”, inside and out. It provides multisensory experiences, utilizing a creative combination of images, video, body-mind awareness, formulation of core questions, and an innovative mandala council process.

In the Callings Intensive, you look at your personal life and desires within a larger context—the grand unfolding story of our universe.

“I believe in the catalytic power of a larger perspective to jolt us out of the stasis of our lives. Fresh, bold perspectives foster breakthroughs and give us the courage to follow our dreams.”
Marilyn Hardy

Testimonials

"The daylong Callings workshop with Marilyn opened me to a new level of awe and understanding for all that our bodies and imaginations hold of our heart's hungers and life truths. As a guide, employing Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement, art, journaling, sharing and informal dialogue, Marilyn quickly established a sense of trust, respect, and even adventure to explore my current directions. Several months have passed since this powerful day, yet I continue to draw insights and energy from the workshop.

"I enjoyed the rich variety of tools and processes in the Callings work. The wide-angled perspective on human and evolutionary nature was foundational in helping me to see myself in a larger context with a larger role. Marilyn's attentive, creative and inspired energy and intelligence added great depth and richness to my own evolution."
Carl, Portland, Maine

"For me, the beauty and benefit of the Callings work was two-fold: first, by integrating my inner world with my outer, I feel more at home in myself, my world, and more present in my life. Secondly, I've begun comparing myself to a tool box--full of tools I didn't know how to use. Now, I begin to pick them up, one by one- knowing what to do- and begin to use them to create the life I want. Marilyn's vast perspective and guidance encourages this personalized process to unfold."
