“Integral Unfoldment has allowed me to move through some of the harder moments of life with greater presence and a deeper embodiment of my true resourcefulness and creativity. This work and community has been a great source of support for me. As I read the words I have written, I can say that there are no words that are sufficient to describe the importance of what Aletheia offers.”
Founded in 2013, Aletheia exists to help you and your coaching clients thrive in today’s complex and demanding world.
We are here to help you become a leader in your field, to innovate, and to serve. We are here to help you build a life of purpose and meaning through serving the people you are most passionate about helping. We are here to help you and your coaching clients live a life that is more integrated, nourishing, and fulfilling. And, if you are a parent, we are here to help you face the seemingly impossible challenges of parenting in a way that you and your children thrive together.
The unprecedented challenges you face today are a clarion call to develop yourself, to rise to the occasion, to unblock and express your innate resourcefulness and creativity, and leverage collective genius. These challenges call you to unfold and express your true creative power as a human being.
In response to these challenges, we believe the most essential career and life design skills are:
Self-care - Addressing the demands of life requires an overflow of energy and attention. Taking care of yourself must be the top priority. This enables you to be resilient in the face of adversity, which is unfortunately prevalent in these times.
Learning and Developmental Agility - Developing yourself and learning new skills is now a life-long endeavor. It is imperative that you master how to learn from your experience and how to continue developing yourself throughout our adult years.
Creativity - The challenges you face often require creative and innovative responses. Perhaps the only failure possible is a failure of imagination. Cultivating creativity is essential in these times.
Leadership - First you must learn to lead yourself. You must become self-led. Only then will you fully understand that your greatest act of leading others is to create the conditions that support them to become self-led.
Entrepreneurship - An entrepreneur creates a business out of enlivening and enriching the lives of the people they are most passionate about serving. An entrepreneur doesn’t wait for the path to appear, they create the path. No matter what your career, in these challenging times, you must become more entrepreneurial (or “intrapreneurial”).
Collaboration and community-building - We believe the challenges we face in these times do not require individual heroics. Instead, we believe they are asking for integration. One of the most important kinds of integration is collaboration and community. We need each other. And, we can help each other. The challenges we face, as individuals, families, organizations and communities, can only be met by a diversity of life experiences, of perspectives, and of skills.
People with these skills are better positioned to flourish and thrive in these times. Participating in Aletheia courses will help you cultivate these and other vitally important skills. You will learn how to make a significant positive difference in the lives you touch, within your family, your community, and with your coaching clients.
“Did I live? The human world is like a vast musical instrument on which we play our individual part while simultaneously listening to the compositions of others in an effort to contribute to the whole. We don’t choose whether to engage, only how to; we either harmonize or create dissonance. Our words, our deeds, our very presence create and leave impressions in the minds of others just as a writer makes impressions with their words. Who you are is an unfolding narrative. You came from nothing and will return there eventually. Instead of taking ourselves so seriously all the time, we can discover the playful irony of a story that has never been told in quite this way before.”
