Devon Reid
(Poet, soul coach, New shoes today crew, NL/CA)
Devon's work as a soul coach focuses on facilitating and teaching people how to love themselves and enabling people and the organisations they work for to create from their deepest passion.
Coaching women in business over the last five years, Devon developed her interest in the missing 'feminine principle' in Western organisational life and is co-creator of www.abundleofenergy.org, an open source 'creation dialogue' on feminine energy and a new development tool http://www.newshoestoday.com/soulspace/ for discovering 'soul' in any organisation.
Devon has developed her own coaching process to support women and men in soul centred professionalism and facilitates workshops on love, relationship and the feminine in the Netherlands. Together with the crew at new shoes today she plays a part in transforming personal, social and organisational paradigms to create a more life affirming sustainable world.
Talk abstract:
love-creation-passion
The word creativity has in its root meaning 'to give birth'. Giving birth is never easy. First it requires a surrendering to 'something' long before the outcome of that something is tangible. It is surrendering to the unknown. Second it never happens without pain and hard work, and third we are asked in pregnancy to love what we cannot see: to love the child, without ever having seen her face, without ever having met her until she is ready to enter the world. Ideas are children in the womb, seeds in the darkness of the soil.
To truly be 'creators' we have to be able to 'co-exist' with the unknown and to love the unknown. 'Only then will the unknown share its beauty with us'.
