Discovering the emerging futures in your life
Such a future is unlikely to come from the past and what’s already known. Rather it is more likely to emerge from the unknown future. The mission and purpose of Human Futures is to find out how we discover the emerging future in our lives and to do this in mutuality with others who share the same passion. The passion of many builds a network that the future can have access to in multiple ways.
James Smith is a futurist and intensely interested in the appearance of new intelligence from the future and what this proposes for human development. He takes a novel approach in understanding how the human systems work to access inner intelligence and how different people have done this through the ages. New approaches are needed to explore the mystery of what works now and what this might propose for the future.
He uses the five intelligences and ways of knowing approach – thinking intelligence, emotional intelligence, creative intelligence, doing intelligence and monitoring intelligence to explore how the future appears in us. He uses this in coaching to work towards the discovery of new intelligence with people
James believes that each life has a unique purpose and discovering one’s purpose is a key to happiness and contentment in life. This is an unfolding journey and more is revealed according to the steps a person takes in the adventure of their lives. He works to find the alignment between what a one loves, passions and purpose in life. He takes a whole person approach in somatic coaching looking at: mind, body, spirit and soul. He’s devoted many years to a personal development journey and where that has led him in his own life.
The future appears in us fresh moment to moment seeking expression and influence in our lives. It speaks to us through our five intelligences. How do we listen to the voices within and what space do we give them to be heard? It’s our inner worlds that hold the keyways to a sustainable future. The coaching approach will explore how we can create space within ourself to listen our intelligences.
The inner worlds and intelligences that sit within a person await discovery. Coaching offers the possibility to get to know and explore how each intelligence speaks to us. It provides companionship in the journey of discovery within a person’s life. Coaching provides prompts and asks questions that assist with getting to a greater intelligence. It shows a person how their intelligences work and how to improve them.
James provides a coaching approach that supports and encourages a person in this process, using the five intelligences alongside methods such as OSKAR, GROW and Embodied Systemic Coaching.
In the coaching a person chooses the area that they want to work on, for example a question to do with the future.
A coaching session is usually 60 minutes and, in the session, there is the opportunity to access the different intelligences that sit within us.
Discovering a sustainable future is a major challenge and something which inspires many people in the search for a better future. It seems unlikely that answers to the world’s sustainability challenges will come from what we already know. Rather it will arrive as new intelligence in us and this opens up whole new worlds of possibility in the search for new intelligence. As Isaac Newton observed – “To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.” How do we best tune into the flow of intelligence from the future? This half day course introduces the five intelligences - thinking intelligence, emotional intelligence, creative intelligence, doing intelligence and monitoring intelligence, the big idea of epoch change and how intelligence appears in us through our unconscious, semi conscious and conscious lives.
We each have five physical senses and five accompanying subtle senses. Our senses are where we connect to the world around us, both in what we receive and also transmit. The more we use our senses the greater our connection becomes our world. Alongside our physical senses sit the subtle senses where the ability to tune into finer more subtle things lives. It is these senses through which we receive intelligence from all around us and what we are tuned into. This half day workshop will explore how our all of our senses work and how we connect to the world around us.
- Within each person’s life there are many intelligences that sit, each seeking the space to be heard. The inner worlds within hold the keyways to a sustainable future, connecting both to Mother Earth (The Mother Heart) and also the emerging future. This half day workshop will explore how we can create space within ourself to listen the intelligence within. The first session is an exploration of our inner spaces and lives, followed by a period of practice. For those that wish to there will be an ongoing evolving journey, in which James will hold the space.
