Brief Program Description
People around the country and around the world are trying to survive. When disaster strikes, A distress signal is usually created internally for those who are informed that the disaster may affect them. This distress signal is set off by a mood and shifts into a mode, the survival mode. When people think their life is about to end or is in immediate danger, survival mode kicks in. In this mode, people often look for tools, food, and resources to prepare them for what is to come. This is called the survival kit. Usually when the circumstances are out of their control, people try to hold on to what they know. It’s more difficult to learn something new in survival mode. It’s difficult to flourish and be fearful simultaneously. It’s difficult to be prosperous when vision is lost and the connection to purpose is removed. This signals a tone and spirit of distress. The distress signal is so loud in their minds that new information is drowned out. It feels like a foreign language and the first instinct is to reject change because of an insecurity. Whatever is new is a stranger and could hurt them so they reject information and knowledge for safety. The outside world, society, in other words…we, have created situations where there is no strategy that can overcome the stress associated with not being able to control the environment around us. The only thing left is the will and the skill to react and survive.
Thrival Kit is a proactive approach to help the participant engage lessons in life and its challenges. This workshop is meant to explore and challenge our perceptions when faced with adversity that provokes fear, doubt, and guilt. Thrival Kit will proactively provide tools and different perspectives to help, relieve, aid, support, and reassure your place and role in this world. Growth is the goal.
