Try Something New: The Courageous Year
The Courageous Year…A New Opportunity from Kate Swoboda
So, I’m pretty tickled and excited (and, let’s be honest–feeling the overwhelm, the fear that comes along for a ride with this wave, the impulse to control and then a conscious choice to let go and surrender!) because not only did Across Mediums start today, and not only did the first group of Courageous Year participants transition from the Self-Care portion of the course to the Belief & Story portion of the course, but–
A new group is invited to register for The Courageous Year. You can read more about the course here, or watch the video above.
I think e-courses are fantastic ways of connecting across thousands of miles, sharing who we are, and moving forward at our own pace. There are so many great ones out there, all serving their different purpose. The way that so many of us are connecting through the e-course process reminds me of the line from Deb Talan: “You can’t do it all alone–and if you could, would you really want to?” It speaks to collaboration, a huge coming together of people who are creating something that was not there before–an experience.
I’m constantly refining and adding to The Courageous Year. When I first began, I thought that lessons would be delivered primarily in text format. Then participants responded enthusiastically to a random video that I added, so I started to add more of those. There was a call to find a way to document the process and organize thoughts about the lessons, so I made an e-book–which turned out to be 100 pages of goodness. I was granted the opportunity to interview several inspiring souls, who I could never thank enough for being a part of my wee little project.
What do you think of e-courses? What do you like about them? Is there anything that you think would make them more effective?
