About SOAR Training

What it is

What is SOAR Training?

SOAR Training is the name we give to all New Earth Village workshops, courses, seminars and support activities. The objective of SOAR Training is to provide guidance on how to create Life-Centred Learning Communities - places where people are valued, given voice and supported so that they are free to be all they can be - free to soar.

When people are free to soar, energy and creativity is unleashed that, when focused, rapidly develops individuals and the community.

What does SOAR mean?

SOAR is short for Self-Organized Appreciative Renewal...

Self-organized:

Refers to our belief that people who are valued and nurtured will take the initiative to develop their personal lives and their community

Appreciative:

Refers to our positive, strengths-based approach to change where focus is placed not on solving problems directly, but on seeking out opportunities, on exploring possibilities for growth. It is also a reference to Appreciative Inquiry, the development approach from which SOAR was derived

Renewal:

Refers to our belief that lasting, meaningful, personal and community change must be deeply rooted. It must be change to a whole new way of thinking and acting. It must be change from the inside out.

SOAR Training is under construction

SOAR training materials are being developed. We expect the first courses to be available in 2011. We'll let you know in Wildfire, our Newsletter, as each course comes on line. Be sure to subscribe. Go to Newsletter. We're really excited about SOAR Training and we're working hard to get it...well, soaring!.
