Workshop: The Tao of Mentoring- The Art of Cultivating RelationshipsBy Thomas Qubeck
Cost: $10.00 at the door
Workshop Description:
This workshop will be presented on two Saturdays (10/9 and 10/16) and is intended as an opportunity to deepen the work that was introduced at the presentation on the 5th of October at the RVML. The title for this work is "The Art of Cultivating Relationships".
The ancient sages of TAO looked at the essence of all relationships: between parents and children, friends, lovers, at the place of work and between a mentor and a mentoree, or a teacher and a student. In their deep contemplation they saw the basic qualities that allow for the fullest expression of love in each relationship. Living these qualities turns our lives into rich brocade and each new meeting becomes a fine thread weaving the fabric of our life into a vibrant tapestry.
During these workshops we will explore the eight petals of the Golden Flower of Tao Mentoring: Jing Hwa. These are eight principles or concepts that can help you attune yourself to a new way of relating to others, the world and yourself. They are similar to the quintessence found in many teachings -- and so they are not 'new' - however the particular flavor of the Taoist love of life that they are saturated with makes them very effective in assisting you to empty your mind of all the old ways of being in relationship. Jing Hwa points in the direction of giving and receiving wisdom as the foundation
for healthy relationships.
The Way of the Water
There is space between the smallest things
that is what quantum physics tells us.
How vast is that space?
The legendary oxen butcher
let his knife follow the channel of space
between the tendons, ligaments and bones,
and thus the ox fell apart effortlessly ~
his blade remained sharp even after 19 years!
When we let our spirit and our words
flow into the space that joins us when we meet,
our differences fall apart like a house of cards!
Then we laugh
watching them float to the common ground.
Presenter's Biography:
My work with the Taoist teacher Chungliang Al Huang has inspired me greatly in this work that brings the Way of the Water as living spirit into all relationships in your life.
Born in the USA but at home in many parts of the world, Thomas Qubeck came back to the USA 2 years ago after having lived most of his life in Italy, Germany, Austria and Portugal. The certified personal coach, yoga and qi gong instructor and a former Waldorf School teacher, has now made Ashland his new home, attracted by the unique spiritual community here.
As a personal coach he supports individuals to pursue the path of individuation and self-actualization, to explore their spiritual self and bring their daily life into alignment with their deeper goals and visions. Thomas assists people to recognize and honor the direction in which life is taking them. In the open space of the mentoring relationship, concrete, practical steps then reveal themselves as the way to actualize each person's greatest potential.
