Do you sense that life keeps speeding up and you just can’t run any faster? Do you long to make this world a better place, but don’t see how? Do you feel that your life is too much doing and too little being? Do you struggle to offer what you value the most—your empathy, your intuition, your openness—to a world that favors impersonal, rational, decisive ways of acting?</h5>\r\nYou’re not alone. As we venture into this complex new century, more and more people—women and men—are realizing that longstanding ways of acting and being are no longer working, for individuals, communities, or the earth.\r\n\r\nOur world is increasingly interconnected, fast-paced, unpredictable, and complex. In recent years, its spectacular challenges and opportunities have brought us to the limit of our current paradigm of leadership—one that was a match for the times in which it emerged—but is proving insufficient for today.\r\n\r\nThis milieu is calling forth a whole new way of leading, one that is truly a match for the 21st century. And we began to observe, in graduates of our full Certification program, exactly this happening - radically new ways of living, loving and leading consistently emerging. We felt a strong need to name this new paradigm of leadership so that it could provide an inspiring image of the future for other women.\r\n<h4>We call this way of being Mysterial leadership™.</h4>\r\nThe word “Mysterial” derives from two characteristics that we observed distinguish a 21st century new paradigm woman leader from her 20th century counterpart:\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>Ease with the unknown, chaotic, and ambiguous – with the <em>Mystery</em>, and</li>\r\n	<li><em>Medial</em> with its two meanings - a psychological term denoting the capacity in a woman’s psyche that is able to bridge between radical differences, including masculine-feminine, dark- light, simple-complex, east-west, rational-intuitive, conscious-unconscious, pragmatic- visionary, and so forth. Medial also means an ability to manage reactivity and find the middle way in challenging situations.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h4>An Expanded Definition of Leadership</h4>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-440\" title=\"LLL circles\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white.jpg\" alt=\"Living Loving Leading Circles\" width=\"273\" height=\"274\" /></a>Many women today do not see themselves as leaders, even though they have significant influence within their worlds. This is especially true of women who are not in positions of traditional authority. Kore Evolution more expansively defines leadership as a way of being and doing that includes and yet transcends the focus on roles, power, competition, and control associated with traditional leadership paradigms.\r\n\r\nWhen a woman begins to embody a Mysterial way of being, it is natural for her to bring her innate gifts and passions to the world. She becomes an influencer through her presence and her creative, well-timed actions – a Mysterial leader.\r\n\r\nAs the world becomes more interconnected and interdependent, the boundaries between the various domains of our personal and professional lives—between Living, Loving, and Leading — also dissolve. In the old heroic paradigm of leadership, we were encouraged to keep them separated. This paradigm is an artifact of the Industrial Revolution and before, which is based on a masculine worldview. In order to succeed as leaders, women have had to adopt ways of being that were historically oriented to the way men lead and develop. This was not a mistake — it was just not always a good fit.\r\n\r\nToday it has become self-evident that what happens in one domain of our experience deeply affects the others. Achieving synergy between the domains of living, loving and leading is not only highly desired by women, but also is a high leverage approach that allows women to make a greater contribution to self, family, community, organization, society, and the entire planet.\r\n\r\nFurther, since the global financial meltdown in 2008, organizations around the world have begun to accept that there will be no return to “normal.” Those who succeed will develop the systems, cultures, vision, and leadership teams that are able to move with a rapidly evolving, massively globalizing?? reality. This will include many women who have influence in nontraditional ways.\r\n<h4>An Inner Upgrade</h4>\r\nMany women leaders today are feeling a fierce urgency to up-level their own leadership<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-500\" title=\"WOB diamond.005\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005-300x294.jpg\" alt=\"Way of Being and Behaviors Diamond\" width=\"300\" height=\"294\" /></a> capacity and unique expression. This includes wanting access to not only their masculine skills to make things happen, in a linear way, with focused goals for unlimited growth, within a command and control structure; but also the complex feminine capacities for emotional/social intelligence, intuition, collaboration and caring, divergent thinking, and a sustainable and generative understanding of cycles, among other things.\r\n\r\nImportantly, women want a new paradigm of leadership that not only draws on more of their innate strengths (that the world needs now), but is also more satisfying and meaningful.<a id=\"urbanmystery\" name=\"urbanmystery\"></a>\r\n<h4>For women to up-level to a new paradigm of leadership that is truly a match for the 21st century, they require a leadership development approach based on <em>how women actually develop</em>.</h4>\r\n<h2>Our Urban Mystery School</h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-503\" title=\"Space Reaches From Us[1]\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" /></a>We create conditions in which women can open to the unfolding mystery of their innate potential and develop the leadership capacities needed to creatively and effectively engage in the world. \r\n<h4>The Woman’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™</h4>\r\n<strong>The Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification was created to be the most comprehensive, in-depth, ground-breaking, and future-sensing leadership development program in the world based on how women actually develop.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt is intended to prepare women to expand their leadership influence and impact in a rapidly evolving, massively globalizing environment by skillfully accessing all of their innate potential as women, benefiting themselves, others, their organizations and beyond.\r\n\r\nIn alliance with LIOS Graduate College of Leadership at Saybrook University, our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification pairs an academically sound, rigorous, research-based curriculum with the ageless wisdom traditions, arts, and deep practice of an urban mystery school.\r\n\r\nIt is delivered in two distinct stages: The 4.5 month <strong>Level 1 Opening Program</strong>, delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. For women who desire higher levels of leadership and societal contribution, the more extensive 9-month <strong>Level 2 Emergence Program builds</strong> upon the Level 1 program to continue the learning experience and complete the Mysterial Leadership Certification process.\r\n\r\nThe comprehensive Mysterial Leadership Certification was designed by the Kore Evolution partners, drawing on 12 years of intensive research, on-the-ground experience, and the expertise of tested and trusted faculty members who have been dedicated to this important work for many years.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Leadership Certification is revolutionary, based on a coherent distillation of academically accepted bio-psycho-social-energetic frameworks of human and cultural development. Since 2000, it has been tested and refined with women of diverse ages, temperaments, competencies, backgrounds, and styles and at all levels within their organizations.\r\n<h5>Mysterial Leadership Certification Builds the Foundation for Leadership Growth</h5>\r\nMany leadership development programs focus only at the skill, knowledge, and expertise-<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-505\" title=\"Enso 3 Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med-247x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"300\" /></a>building level. To build the leadership capacities necessary to address the challenges of the 21stcentury, we must first upgrade the ‘Way of Being’ from which these behaviors and skills emerge.\r\n\r\nThrough our Level 1 and Level 2 programs, we systematically build a foundation, or a “source code,” that creates a solid, sustainable way of being upon which desired leadership behaviors can be sustainably built.\r\n\r\nWith the cultivation of a Mysterial Way of Being, a woman naturally expresses more skillful and effective leadership behaviors and increases her overall ability to develop her knowledge, skills, and expertise. Our graduates consistently make more valued and exceptional contributions in their workplaces, families, and communities, and report being more fulfilled in their work and their lives in general. This kind of leadership development can be seen as a true investment for the future, one that will continue to pay dividends.\r\n<h4>Our Transformative Technology: The Mysterial Sequence™</h4>\r\n<strong>By focusing on how women learn and grow, and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we learned what it takes to unlock a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results. </strong>\r\n\r\nThrough our in-depth work with many cohorts of students we decoded a developmental process, designed specifically for women, that consists of five distinct and sequential steps.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Sequence is an elegant developmental process that clears and cultivates all of our Yin and Yang essences, providing the “critical path” to a sustainable inner upgrade. Like a plant that unfolds from seed, to shoot, to leaves and flowers, a woman develops in an organic process that unfolds in identifiable stages, each more complex than the next. These stages build upon one another and none can be skipped.\r\n\r\nAnd perhaps most importantly it is specifically designed to address the unique nature of a woman’s developmental unfolding, and to <em>redress</em> wounding that occurred at various stages of our emergence into womanhood as we tried to fit into a hypermasculine culture. As you move through the Sequence today as an adult woman you touch back into the early shaping patterns of your youth and liberate those aspects of yourself that remain stalled or repressed.\r\n\r\nThe order of the sequence isn\'t arbitrary. It harmonically mirrors the natural order in which these Yin-Yang essences emerged in human consciousness and culture as we evolved.\r\n\r\nIn our Level 1 Opening Program we do the groundbreaking work of opening the channel for the Mysterial pattern to emerge by guiding students through Steps One and Two.\r\n\r\nOnce this deep work is accomplished the Level 2 Emergence Program takes women through Steps 3 – 5 engaging the full inner upgrade for the emergence of Mysterial leadership.\r\n\r\nAt each step of the Mysterial Sequence, the participant replaces a core limiting belief with a core liberating belief, and with practice, embodies 4 core integral leadership capacities. With deep practice, the integrated meta-capacity of that step emerges, expressed uniquely through the being and doing of each woman.\r\n\r\nThe work done at each step, each transformation of The Mysterial Sequence™ transcends and includes the work done in the step before. After step 5, the result is a complete inner upgrade that enables a woman’s Mysterial Way of Being to emerge.\r\n\r\nThis upgrade is not just about women adding a few new behavioral skills to their tool belt. It is much deeper and wider than that, ushering in a whole new level of consciousness, connectedness and creative contribution.\r\n<h2>Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™ Programs</h2>\r\n<h4><a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-508\" title=\"Always Now II Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>General Program Structure</h4>\r\n<h5>Pre Program Assessment</h5>\r\nPrior to the start of our programs, each individual participates in a rigorous and comprehensive integral assessment with a faculty member. This establishes a baseline from which we can specifically coach and systematically track students’ leadership development progress and outcomes.\r\n<h5>Program Structure</h5>\r\nEach program begins with a five-day residential Opening Retreat—a rich and deeply engaging experience that establishes a catalytic learning community and lays the groundwork for individualized coaching with faculty. Additionally, women are introduced to their facilitated online learning classroom in which they will engage with other cohort members throughout the program. We meet again during the program mid-point, either virtually or in another residential retreat. Both programs conclude with a residential Closing Retreat. In order to be certified, students must complete and present their culminating group leadership service project at the Closing Retreat. This project is an opportunity for the students to apply their own emerging leadership skills in collaboration with others, while making a contribution to the awakening and development of girls and women.\r\n\r\nResidential retreats are currently held at <a href=\"http://harmonyhill.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Harmony Hill Retreat Center</a> overlooking the beautiful Hood Canal and Olympic mountain range on Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula. The closest airport is Seattle-Tacoma International. Harmony Hill offers first-class, green-built accommodations, beautiful grounds, delicious wholesome food, and an inspiring container for our transformative work.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\" target=\"_blank\">Level 1: The Opening Program</a></h4>\r\nThis 4.5 month residential + online university-certificate course and learning community is currently led by Kore founders and core faculty. It delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. This program redresses critical aspects of women’s feminine nature that have been rejected or become dormant, underutilized, or distorted. This is necessary to create a healthy, sustainable balance with the masculine capacities that the contemporary workplace requires of them, such that they are more productive, creative, inspired, and satisfied in their careers. The Opening Program is designed to stand alone, and women earn a university certificate for completion. It is a requirement for the Level 2 program.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 2: The Emergence Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-2-the-emergence-program/\">Level 2: The Emergence Program</a></h4>\r\nThis 9 month alchemical residential + online university certificate course and learning community is led by Kore founders and core faculty. In combination with Level 1, this program completes the inner upgrade and the full range of Mysterial Leadership capacities naturally comes online. The Level 2 outcomes build upon the achievements of Level 1, generating a “higher octave” of consciousness, connectedness and creative contribution.<a id=\"certification\" name=\"certification\"></a>\r\n<h4>How Our Certification Differs from Other Leadership Courses</h4>\r\n<strong>Recognizing that most leadership programs are based on masculine models of leadership, we created our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification to address the unique ways that women develop as leaders. By focusing on how women learn and grow and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we designed a program that unlocks a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results.</strong>\r\n\r\nWomen’s Mysterial Leadership Certification awakens women’s untapped leadership potential by weaving together the following unique elements:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Transformative/developmental. </span>Many leadership programs focus on learning new theories or acquiring new skills. Our Certification not only offers leading-edge theories and new behavioral tools, it also enables a fundamental transformation of outdated patterns in in the way a woman lives, loves and leads. It helps students to awaken to their full value as women and express that value freely and authentically.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Integral. </span>Drawing upon the extensive work of Ken Wilber, Robert Kegan, Otto Scharmer, Susanne Cook-Greuter, and other leading theorists, our comprehensive approach integrates a diversity of systems, academic disciplines, and forms of knowledge—from the wisdom of ancient shamans and sages to today’s breakthroughs in cognitive science—into a handful of essential elements that are key to facilitating human development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Accelerated. </span>Although radical transformation doesn’t happen in a single weekend, or even a few weeks, it doesn’t need to take years. Our Mysterial Sequence™ provides the most efficient, critical path through the essential work needed to develop a woman leader. Individualized coaching, a rigorously researched program curriculum, and the catalytic nature of a learning community combine together into an alchemical force. We developed our 4.5 and 9 month curriculums to accelerate true transformation without sacrificing artistry, enjoyment, academic excellence, or deep connection.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Theory- and Research-Based. </span>We combine stimulating theories from innovative thought leaders with our extensive experience and research in women’s growth and leadership development. We systematically review how women in our programs are transforming and update our curriculum accordingly. This rigorous, experiential curriculum has qualified our curriculum for over a decade as a university-certificate program.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Embodied.</span>It is vital that women today build a dynamic relationship with the full spectrum of their being, so that they are able to embody and express their unique essence. We teach women to access ways of knowing that engage all three centers of intelligence—thinking (head), feeling (heart), and sensing (body)—so that they can bring a holistic understanding to complex issues.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Individually Tailored. </span>Participants work intimately throughout each program with a certified coach trained in our Mysterial methodology. Using a comprehensive integral assessment process, the coach will skillfully customize the program to support the student’s unique development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Supportive and Catalytic. </span>Our certification provides a dynamic learning community to initiate and support personal transformation. The cohort offers a powerful community of practice experience of being in trusting, supportive relationships with other women.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Beautiful and Imaginative. </span>We actively engage women’s sensing and feeling natures by designing our instructional materials and working environments to be beautiful, inspiring, and delightful. Using stimulating right-brain processes and practices, we invite imagination to awaken women to their deepest feminine being.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Substantive and Highly Skilled Faculty. </span>Our dedicated and well-trained faculty fully embody the Mysterial Way of Being, facilitating our programs with multi-faceted skill, deep heart, and a sense of playful possibilities.\r\n<h5>We invite you to join us in this emerging movement of Mysterial Women, r-evolutionizing the way women live, love, and lead.</h5>\r\nTo learn more about the level 1 program, <a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\"><em>click here</em></a>\r\n\r\nTo find out about our upcoming complimentary information sessions, click here\r\n\r\nFor other questions, please contact us below.\r\n<h5>Sample H5 Heading</h5>\r\n<h6>Sample H6 Heading</h6>','Programs','','inherit','open','open','','22-revision-84','','','2012-09-30 18:03:29','2012-09-30 18:03:29','',22,'http://koreevolution.com/test/22-revision-84/',0,'revision','',0),(550,1,'2012-09-30 18:03:44','2012-09-30 18:03:44','<h1><img src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/programs2-header.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"programs2-header\" width=\"705\" height=\"179\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-535\" />\r\nOUR PROGRAMS AND APPROACH</h1>','Programs-leadership','','inherit','open','open','','515-revision-4','','','2012-09-30 18:03:44','2012-09-30 18:03:44','',515,'http://koreevolution.com/test/515-revision-4/',0,'revision','',0),(551,1,'2012-09-30 18:24:46','2012-09-30 18:24:46','<h1><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-535\" title=\"programs2-header\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/programs2-header.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"705\" height=\"179\" />\r\nOUR PROGRAMS AND APPROACH</h1>\r\n\r\nAs the world becomes more interconnected and interdependent, the boundaries between the various domains of our personal and professional lives—between Living, Loving, and Leading — also dissolve.

Our graduates consistently make more valued and exceptional contributions in their workplaces, families, and communities, and report being more fulfilled in their work and their lives in general. This kind of leadership development can be seen as a true investment for the future, one that will continue to pay dividends.\r\n<h4>Our Transformative Technology: The Mysterial Sequence™</h4>\r\n<strong>By focusing on how women learn and grow, and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we learned what it takes to unlock a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results. </strong>\r\n\r\nThrough our in-depth work with many cohorts of students we decoded a developmental process, designed specifically for women, that consists of five distinct and sequential steps.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Sequence is an elegant developmental process that clears and cultivates all of our Yin and Yang essences, providing the “critical path” to a sustainable inner upgrade. Like a plant that unfolds from seed, to shoot, to leaves and flowers, a woman develops in an organic process that unfolds in identifiable stages, each more complex than the next. These stages build upon one another and none can be skipped.\r\n\r\nAnd perhaps most importantly it is specifically designed to address the unique nature of a woman’s developmental unfolding, and to <em>redress</em> wounding that occurred at various stages of our emergence into womanhood as we tried to fit into a hypermasculine culture. As you move through the Sequence today as an adult woman you touch back into the early shaping patterns of your youth and liberate those aspects of yourself that remain stalled or repressed.\r\n\r\nThe order of the sequence isn\'t arbitrary. It harmonically mirrors the natural order in which these Yin-Yang essences emerged in human consciousness and culture as we evolved.\r\n\r\nIn our Level 1 Opening Program we do the groundbreaking work of opening the channel for the Mysterial pattern to emerge by guiding students through Steps One and Two.\r\n\r\nOnce this deep work is accomplished the Level 2 Emergence Program takes women through Steps 3 – 5 engaging the full inner upgrade for the emergence of Mysterial leadership.\r\n\r\nAt each step of the Mysterial Sequence, the participant replaces a core limiting belief with a core liberating belief, and with practice, embodies 4 core integral leadership capacities. With deep practice, the integrated meta-capacity of that step emerges, expressed uniquely through the being and doing of each woman.\r\n\r\nThe work done at each step, each transformation of The Mysterial Sequence™ transcends and includes the work done in the step before. After step 5, the result is a complete inner upgrade that enables a woman’s Mysterial Way of Being to emerge.\r\n\r\nThis upgrade is not just about women adding a few new behavioral skills to their tool belt. It is much deeper and wider than that, ushering in a whole new level of consciousness, connectedness and creative contribution.\r\n<h2>Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™ Programs</h2>\r\n<h4><a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-508\" title=\"Always Now II Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>General Program Structure</h4>\r\n<h5>Pre Program Assessment</h5>\r\nPrior to the start of our programs, each individual participates in a rigorous and comprehensive integral assessment with a faculty member. This establishes a baseline from which we can specifically coach and systematically track students’ leadership development progress and outcomes.\r\n<h5>Program Structure</h5>\r\nEach program begins with a five-day residential Opening Retreat—a rich and deeply engaging experience that establishes a catalytic learning community and lays the groundwork for individualized coaching with faculty. Additionally, women are introduced to their facilitated online learning classroom in which they will engage with other cohort members throughout the program. We meet again during the program mid-point, either virtually or in another residential retreat. Both programs conclude with a residential Closing Retreat. In order to be certified, students must complete and present their culminating group leadership service project at the Closing Retreat. This project is an opportunity for the students to apply their own emerging leadership skills in collaboration with others, while making a contribution to the awakening and development of girls and women.\r\n\r\nResidential retreats are currently held at <a href=\"http://harmonyhill.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Harmony Hill Retreat Center</a> overlooking the beautiful Hood Canal and Olympic mountain range on Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula. The closest airport is Seattle-Tacoma International. Harmony Hill offers first-class, green-built accommodations, beautiful grounds, delicious wholesome food, and an inspiring container for our transformative work.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\" target=\"_blank\">Level 1: The Opening Program</a></h4>\r\nThis 4.5 month residential + online university-certificate course and learning community is currently led by Kore founders and core faculty. It delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. This program redresses critical aspects of women’s feminine nature that have been rejected or become dormant, underutilized, or distorted. This is necessary to create a healthy, sustainable balance with the masculine capacities that the contemporary workplace requires of them, such that they are more productive, creative, inspired, and satisfied in their careers. The Opening Program is designed to stand alone, and women earn a university certificate for completion. It is a requirement for the Level 2 program.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 2: The Emergence Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-2-the-emergence-program/\">Level 2: The Emergence Program</a></h4>\r\nThis 9 month alchemical residential + online university certificate course and learning community is led by Kore founders and core faculty. In combination with Level 1, this program completes the inner upgrade and the full range of Mysterial Leadership capacities naturally comes online. The Level 2 outcomes build upon the achievements of Level 1, generating a “higher octave” of consciousness, connectedness and creative contribution.<a id=\"certification\" name=\"certification\"></a>\r\n<h4>How Our Certification Differs from Other Leadership Courses</h4>\r\n<strong>Recognizing that most leadership programs are based on masculine models of leadership, we created our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification to address the unique ways that women develop as leaders. By focusing on how women learn and grow and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we designed a program that unlocks a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results.</strong>\r\n\r\nWomen’s Mysterial Leadership Certification awakens women’s untapped leadership potential by weaving together the following unique elements:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Transformative/developmental. </span>Many leadership programs focus on learning new theories or acquiring new skills. Our Certification not only offers leading-edge theories and new behavioral tools, it also enables a fundamental transformation of outdated patterns in in the way a woman lives, loves and leads. It helps students to awaken to their full value as women and express that value freely and authentically.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Integral. </span>Drawing upon the extensive work of Ken Wilber, Robert Kegan, Otto Scharmer, Susanne Cook-Greuter, and other leading theorists, our comprehensive approach integrates a diversity of systems, academic disciplines, and forms of knowledge—from the wisdom of ancient shamans and sages to today’s breakthroughs in cognitive science—into a handful of essential elements that are key to facilitating human development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Accelerated. </span>Although radical transformation doesn’t happen in a single weekend, or even a few weeks, it doesn’t need to take years. Our Mysterial Sequence™ provides the most efficient, critical path through the essential work needed to develop a woman leader. Individualized coaching, a rigorously researched program curriculum, and the catalytic nature of a learning community combine together into an alchemical force. We developed our 4.5 and 9 month curriculums to accelerate true transformation without sacrificing artistry, enjoyment, academic excellence, or deep connection.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Theory- and Research-Based. </span>We combine stimulating theories from innovative thought leaders with our extensive experience and research in women’s growth and leadership development. We systematically review how women in our programs are transforming and update our curriculum accordingly. This rigorous, experiential curriculum has qualified our curriculum for over a decade as a university-certificate program.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Embodied.</span>It is vital that women today build a dynamic relationship with the full spectrum of their being, so that they are able to embody and express their unique essence. We teach women to access ways of knowing that engage all three centers of intelligence—thinking (head), feeling (heart), and sensing (body)—so that they can bring a holistic understanding to complex issues.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Individually Tailored. </span>Participants work intimately throughout each program with a certified coach trained in our Mysterial methodology. Using a comprehensive integral assessment process, the coach will skillfully customize the program to support the student’s unique development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Supportive and Catalytic. </span>Our certification provides a dynamic learning community to initiate and support personal transformation. The cohort offers a powerful community of practice experience of being in trusting, supportive relationships with other women.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Beautiful and Imaginative. </span>We actively engage women’s sensing and feeling natures by designing our instructional materials and working environments to be beautiful, inspiring, and delightful. Using stimulating right-brain processes and practices, we invite imagination to awaken women to their deepest feminine being.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Substantive and Highly Skilled Faculty. </span>Our dedicated and well-trained faculty fully embody the Mysterial Way of Being, facilitating our programs with multi-faceted skill, deep heart, and a sense of playful possibilities.\r\n<h5>We invite you to join us in this emerging movement of Mysterial Women, r-evolutionizing the way women live, love, and lead.</h5>\r\nTo learn more about the level 1 program, <a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\"><em>click here</em></a>\r\n\r\nTo find out about our upcoming complimentary information sessions, click here\r\n\r\nFor other questions, please contact us below.\r\n<h5>Sample H5 Heading</h5>\r\n<h6>Sample H6 Heading</h6>','Programs','','inherit','open','open','','22-revision-85','','','2012-09-30 18:24:23','2012-09-30 18:24:23','',22,'http://koreevolution.com/test/22-revision-85/',0,'revision','',0),(553,1,'2012-09-30 18:26:12','2012-09-30 18:26:12','<h1><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-521\" title=\"programs-header\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/programs-header.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"705\" height=\"211\" />\r\nOUR PROGRAMS AND APPROACH</h1>\r\n<h2>Why Mysterial Leadership, Why Now</h2>\r\n<h5>Ever wonder if the success you’ve worked so hard for has been worth the price? Do you sense that life keeps speeding up and you just can’t run any faster? Do you long to make this world a better place, but don’t see how? Do you feel that your life is too much doing and too little being? Do you struggle to offer what you value the most—your empathy, your intuition, your openness—to a world that favors impersonal, rational, decisive ways of acting?</h5>\r\nYou’re not alone. As we venture into this complex new century, more and more people—women and men—are realizing that longstanding ways of acting and being are no longer working, for individuals, communities, or the earth.\r\n\r\nOur world is increasingly interconnected, fast-paced, unpredictable, and complex. In recent years, its spectacular challenges and opportunities have brought us to the limit of our current paradigm of leadership—one that was a match for the times in which it emerged—but is proving insufficient for today.\r\n\r\nThis milieu is calling forth a whole new way of leading, one that is truly a match for the 21st century. And we began to observe, in graduates of our full Certification program, exactly this happening - radically new ways of living, loving and leading consistently emerging. We felt a strong need to name this new paradigm of leadership so that it could provide an inspiring image of the future for other women.\r\n<h4>We call this way of being Mysterial leadership™.</h4>\r\nThe word “Mysterial” derives from two characteristics that we observed distinguish a 21st century new paradigm woman leader from her 20th century counterpart:\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>Ease with the unknown, chaotic, and ambiguous – with the <em>Mystery</em>, and</li>\r\n	<li><em>Medial</em> with its two meanings - a psychological term denoting the capacity in a woman’s psyche that is able to bridge between radical differences, including masculine-feminine, dark- light, simple-complex, east-west, rational-intuitive, conscious-unconscious, pragmatic- visionary, and so forth. Medial also means an ability to manage reactivity and find the middle way in challenging situations.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h4>An Expanded Definition of Leadership</h4>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-440\" title=\"LLL circles\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white.jpg\" alt=\"Living Loving Leading Circles\" width=\"273\" height=\"274\" /></a>Many women today do not see themselves as leaders, even though they have significant influence within their worlds. This is especially true of women who are not in positions of traditional authority. Kore Evolution more expansively defines leadership as a way of being and doing that includes and yet transcends the focus on roles, power, competition, and control associated with traditional leadership paradigms.\r\n\r\nWhen a woman begins to embody a Mysterial way of being, it is natural for her to bring her innate gifts and passions to the world. She becomes an influencer through her presence and her creative, well-timed actions – a Mysterial leader.\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs-leadership/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>read more...</em></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4>An Inner Upgrade</h4>\r\nMany women leaders today are feeling a fierce urgency to up-level their own leadership<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-500\" title=\"WOB diamond.005\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005-300x294.jpg\" alt=\"Way of Being and Behaviors Diamond\" width=\"300\" height=\"294\" /></a> capacity and unique expression. This includes wanting access to not only their masculine skills to make things happen, in a linear way, with focused goals for unlimited growth, within a command and control structure; but also the complex feminine capacities for emotional/social intelligence, intuition, collaboration and caring, divergent thinking, and a sustainable and generative understanding of cycles, among other things.\r\n\r\nImportantly, women want a new paradigm of leadership that not only draws on more of their innate strengths (that the world needs now), but is also more satisfying and meaningful.<a id=\"urbanmystery\" name=\"urbanmystery\"></a>\r\n<h4>For women to up-level to a new paradigm of leadership that is truly a match for the 21st century, they require a leadership development approach based on <em>how women actually develop</em>.</h4>\r\n<h2>Our Urban Mystery School</h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-503\" title=\"Space Reaches From Us[1]\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" /></a>We create conditions in which women can open to the unfolding mystery of their innate potential and develop the leadership capacities needed to creatively and effectively engage in the world.\r\n<h4>The Woman’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™</h4>\r\n<strong>The Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification was created to be the most comprehensive, in-depth, ground-breaking, and future-sensing leadership development program in the world based on how women actually develop.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt is intended to prepare women to expand their leadership influence and impact in a rapidly evolving, massively globalizing environment by skillfully accessing all of their innate potential as women, benefiting themselves, others, their organizations and beyond.\r\n\r\nIn alliance with LIOS Graduate College of Leadership at Saybrook University, our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification pairs an academically sound, rigorous, research-based curriculum with the ageless wisdom traditions, arts, and deep practice of an urban mystery school.\r\n\r\nIt is delivered in two distinct stages: The 4.5 month <strong>Level 1 Opening Program</strong>, delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. For women who desire higher levels of leadership and societal contribution, the more extensive 9-month <strong>Level 2 Emergence Program builds</strong> upon the Level 1 program to continue the learning experience and complete the Mysterial Leadership Certification process.\r\n\r\nThe comprehensive Mysterial Leadership Certification was designed by the Kore Evolution partners, drawing on 12 years of intensive research, on-the-ground experience, and the expertise of tested and trusted faculty members who have been dedicated to this important work for many years.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Leadership Certification is revolutionary, based on a coherent distillation of academically accepted bio-psycho-social-energetic frameworks of human and cultural development. Since 2000, it has been tested and refined with women of diverse ages, temperaments, competencies, backgrounds, and styles and at all levels within their organizations.\r\n<h5>Mysterial Leadership Certification Builds the Foundation for Leadership Growth</h5>\r\nMany leadership development programs focus only at the skill, knowledge, and expertise-<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-505\" title=\"Enso 3 Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med-247x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"300\" /></a>building level. To build the leadership capacities necessary to address the challenges of the 21stcentury, we must first upgrade the ‘Way of Being’ from which these behaviors and skills emerge.\r\n\r\nThrough our Level 1 and Level 2 programs, we systematically build a foundation, or a “source code,” that creates a solid, sustainable way of being upon which desired leadership behaviors can be sustainably built.\r\n\r\nWith the cultivation of a Mysterial Way of Being, a woman naturally expresses more skillful and effective leadership behaviors and increases her overall ability to develop her knowledge, skills, and expertise. Our graduates consistently make more valued and exceptional contributions in their workplaces, families, and communities, and report being more fulfilled in their work and their lives in general. This kind of leadership development can be seen as a true investment for the future, one that will continue to pay dividends.\r\n<h4>Our Transformative Technology: The Mysterial Sequence™</h4>\r\n<strong>By focusing on how women learn and grow, and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we learned what it takes to unlock a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results. </strong>\r\n\r\nThrough our in-depth work with many cohorts of students we decoded a developmental process, designed specifically for women, that consists of five distinct and sequential steps.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Sequence is an elegant developmental process that clears and cultivates all of our Yin and Yang essences, providing the “critical path” to a sustainable inner upgrade. Like a plant that unfolds from seed, to shoot, to leaves and flowers, a woman develops in an organic process that unfolds in identifiable stages, each more complex than the next. These stages build upon one another and none can be skipped.\r\n\r\nAnd perhaps most importantly it is specifically designed to address the unique nature of a woman’s developmental unfolding, and to <em>redress</em> wounding that occurred at various stages of our emergence into womanhood as we tried to fit into a hypermasculine culture. As you move through the Sequence today as an adult woman you touch back into the early shaping patterns of your youth and liberate those aspects of yourself that remain stalled or repressed.\r\n\r\nThe order of the sequence isn\'t arbitrary. It harmonically mirrors the natural order in which these Yin-Yang essences emerged in human consciousness and culture as we evolved.\r\n\r\nIn our Level 1 Opening Program we do the groundbreaking work of opening the channel for the Mysterial pattern to emerge by guiding students through Steps One and Two.\r\n\r\nOnce this deep work is accomplished the Level 2 Emergence Program takes women through Steps 3 – 5 engaging the full inner upgrade for the emergence of Mysterial leadership.\r\n\r\nAt each step of the Mysterial Sequence, the participant replaces a core limiting belief with a core liberating belief, and with practice, embodies 4 core integral leadership capacities. With deep practice, the integrated meta-capacity of that step emerges, expressed uniquely through the being and doing of each woman.\r\n\r\nThe work done at each step, each transformation of The Mysterial Sequence™ transcends and includes the work done in the step before. After step 5, the result is a complete inner upgrade that enables a woman’s Mysterial Way of Being to emerge.\r\n\r\nThis upgrade is not just about women adding a few new behavioral skills to their tool belt.

Do you sense that life keeps speeding up and you just can’t run any faster? Do you long to make this world a better place, but don’t see how? Do you feel that your life is too much doing and too little being? Do you struggle to offer what you value the most—your empathy, your intuition, your openness—to a world that favors impersonal, rational, decisive ways of acting?</h5>\r\nYou’re not alone. As we venture into this complex new century, more and more people—women and men—are realizing that longstanding ways of acting and being are no longer working, for individuals, communities, or the earth.\r\n\r\nOur world is increasingly interconnected, fast-paced, unpredictable, and complex. In recent years, its spectacular challenges and opportunities have brought us to the limit of our current paradigm of leadership—one that was a match for the times in which it emerged—but is proving insufficient for today.\r\n\r\nThis milieu is calling forth a whole new way of leading, one that is truly a match for the 21st century. And we began to observe, in graduates of our full Certification program, exactly this happening - radically new ways of living, loving and leading consistently emerging. We felt a strong need to name this new paradigm of leadership so that it could provide an inspiring image of the future for other women.\r\n<h4>We call this way of being Mysterial leadership™.</h4>\r\nThe word “Mysterial” derives from two characteristics that we observed distinguish a 21st century new paradigm woman leader from her 20th century counterpart:\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>Ease with the unknown, chaotic, and ambiguous – with the <em>Mystery</em>, and</li>\r\n	<li><em>Medial</em> with its two meanings - a psychological term denoting the capacity in a woman’s psyche that is able to bridge between radical differences, including masculine-feminine, dark- light, simple-complex, east-west, rational-intuitive, conscious-unconscious, pragmatic- visionary, and so forth. Medial also means an ability to manage reactivity and find the middle way in challenging situations.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h4>An Expanded Definition of Leadership</h4>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-440\" title=\"LLL circles\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white.jpg\" alt=\"Living Loving Leading Circles\" width=\"273\" height=\"274\" /></a>Many women today do not see themselves as leaders, even though they have significant influence within their worlds. This is especially true of women who are not in positions of traditional authority. Kore Evolution more expansively defines leadership as a way of being and doing that includes and yet transcends the focus on roles, power, competition, and control associated with traditional leadership paradigms.\r\n\r\nWhen a woman begins to embody a Mysterial way of being, it is natural for her to bring her innate gifts and passions to the world.

This includes wanting access to not only their masculine skills to make things happen, in a linear way, with focused goals for unlimited growth, within a command and control structure; but also the complex feminine capacities for emotional/social intelligence, intuition, collaboration and caring, divergent thinking, and a sustainable and generative understanding of cycles, among other things.\r\n\r\nImportantly, women want a new paradigm of leadership that not only draws on more of their innate strengths (that the world needs now), but is also more satisfying and meaningful.<a id=\"urbanmystery\" name=\"urbanmystery\"></a>\r\n<h4>For women to up-level to a new paradigm of leadership that is truly a match for the 21st century, they require a leadership development approach based on <em>how women actually develop</em>.</h4>\r\n<h2>Our Urban Mystery School</h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-503\" title=\"Space Reaches From Us[1]\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" /></a>We create conditions in which women can open to the unfolding mystery of their innate potential and develop the leadership capacities needed to creatively and effectively engage in the world.\r\n<h4>The Woman’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™</h4>\r\n<strong>The Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification was created to be the most comprehensive, in-depth, ground-breaking, and future-sensing leadership development program in the world based on how women actually develop.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt is intended to prepare women to expand their leadership influence and impact in a rapidly evolving, massively globalizing environment by skillfully accessing all of their innate potential as women, benefiting themselves, others, their organizations and beyond.\r\n\r\nIn alliance with LIOS Graduate College of Leadership at Saybrook University, our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification pairs an academically sound, rigorous, research-based curriculum with the ageless wisdom traditions, arts, and deep practice of an urban mystery school.\r\n\r\nIt is delivered in two distinct stages: The 4.5 month <strong>Level 1 Opening Program</strong>, delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. For women who desire higher levels of leadership and societal contribution, the more extensive 9-month <strong>Level 2 Emergence Program builds</strong> upon the Level 1 program to continue the learning experience and complete the Mysterial Leadership Certification process.\r\n\r\nThe comprehensive Mysterial Leadership Certification was designed by the Kore Evolution partners, drawing on 12 years of intensive research, on-the-ground experience, and the expertise of tested and trusted faculty members who have been dedicated to this important work for many years.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Leadership Certification is revolutionary, based on a coherent distillation of academically accepted bio-psycho-social-energetic frameworks of human and cultural development. Since 2000, it has been tested and refined with women of diverse ages, temperaments, competencies, backgrounds, and styles and at all levels within their organizations.\r\n<h5>Mysterial Leadership Certification Builds the Foundation for Leadership Growth</h5>\r\nMany leadership development programs focus only at the skill, knowledge, and expertise-<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-505\" title=\"Enso 3 Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med-247x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"300\" /></a>building level. To build the leadership capacities necessary to address the challenges of the 21stcentury, we must first upgrade the ‘Way of Being’ from which these behaviors and skills emerge.\r\n\r\nThrough our Level 1 and Level 2 programs, we systematically build a foundation, or a “source code,” that creates a solid, sustainable way of being upon which desired leadership behaviors can be sustainably built.\r\n\r\nWith the cultivation of a Mysterial Way of Being, a woman naturally expresses more skillful and effective leadership behaviors and increases her overall ability to develop her knowledge, skills, and expertise. Our graduates consistently make more valued and exceptional contributions in their workplaces, families, and communities, and report being more fulfilled in their work and their lives in general. This kind of leadership development can be seen as a true investment for the future, one that will continue to pay dividends.\r\n<h4>Our Transformative Technology: The Mysterial Sequence™</h4>\r\n<strong>By focusing on how women learn and grow, and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we learned what it takes to unlock a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results. </strong>\r\n\r\nThrough our in-depth work with many cohorts of students we decoded a developmental process, designed specifically for women, that consists of five distinct and sequential steps.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Sequence is an elegant developmental process that clears and cultivates all of our Yin and Yang essences, providing the “critical path” to a sustainable inner upgrade. Like a plant that unfolds from seed, to shoot, to leaves and flowers, a woman develops in an organic process that unfolds in identifiable stages, each more complex than the next. These stages build upon one another and none can be skipped.\r\n\r\nAnd perhaps most importantly it is specifically designed to address the unique nature of a woman’s developmental unfolding, and to <em>redress</em> wounding that occurred at various stages of our emergence into womanhood as we tried to fit into a hypermasculine culture. As you move through the Sequence today as an adult woman you touch back into the early shaping patterns of your youth and liberate those aspects of yourself that remain stalled or repressed.\r\n\r\nThe order of the sequence isn\'t arbitrary. It harmonically mirrors the natural order in which these Yin-Yang essences emerged in human consciousness and culture as we evolved.\r\n\r\nIn our Level 1 Opening Program we do the groundbreaking work of opening the channel for the Mysterial pattern to emerge by guiding students through Steps One and Two.\r\n\r\nOnce this deep work is accomplished the Level 2 Emergence Program takes women through Steps 3 – 5 engaging the full inner upgrade for the emergence of Mysterial leadership.\r\n\r\nAt each step of the Mysterial Sequence, the participant replaces a core limiting belief with a core liberating belief, and with practice, embodies 4 core integral leadership capacities. With deep practice, the integrated meta-capacity of that step emerges, expressed uniquely through the being and doing of each woman.\r\n\r\nThe work done at each step, each transformation of The Mysterial Sequence™ transcends and includes the work done in the step before. After step 5, the result is a complete inner upgrade that enables a woman’s Mysterial Way of Being to emerge.\r\n\r\nThis upgrade is not just about women adding a few new behavioral skills to their tool belt. It is much deeper and wider than that, ushering in a whole new level of consciousness, connectedness and creative contribution.\r\n<h2>Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™ Programs</h2>\r\n<h4><a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-508\" title=\"Always Now II Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>General Program Structure</h4>\r\n<h5>Pre Program Assessment</h5>\r\nPrior to the start of our programs, each individual participates in a rigorous and comprehensive integral assessment with a faculty member. This establishes a baseline from which we can specifically coach and systematically track students’ leadership development progress and outcomes.\r\n<h5>Program Structure</h5>\r\nEach program begins with a five-day residential Opening Retreat—a rich and deeply engaging experience that establishes a catalytic learning community and lays the groundwork for individualized coaching with faculty. Additionally, women are introduced to their facilitated online learning classroom in which they will engage with other cohort members throughout the program. We meet again during the program mid-point, either virtually or in another residential retreat. Both programs conclude with a residential Closing Retreat. In order to be certified, students must complete and present their culminating group leadership service project at the Closing Retreat. This project is an opportunity for the students to apply their own emerging leadership skills in collaboration with others, while making a contribution to the awakening and development of girls and women.\r\n\r\nResidential retreats are currently held at <a href=\"http://harmonyhill.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Harmony Hill Retreat Center</a> overlooking the beautiful Hood Canal and Olympic mountain range on Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula. The closest airport is Seattle-Tacoma International. Harmony Hill offers first-class, green-built accommodations, beautiful grounds, delicious wholesome food, and an inspiring container for our transformative work.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\" target=\"_blank\">Level 1: The Opening Program</a></h4>\r\nThis 4.5 month residential + online university-certificate course and learning community is currently led by Kore founders and core faculty. It delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. This program redresses critical aspects of women’s feminine nature that have been rejected or become dormant, underutilized, or distorted. This is necessary to create a healthy, sustainable balance with the masculine capacities that the contemporary workplace requires of them, such that they are more productive, creative, inspired, and satisfied in their careers. The Opening Program is designed to stand alone, and women earn a university certificate for completion. It is a requirement for the Level 2 program.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 2: The Emergence Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-2-the-emergence-program/\">Level 2: The Emergence Program</a></h4>\r\nThis 9 month alchemical residential + online university certificate course and learning community is led by Kore founders and core faculty. In combination with Level 1, this program completes the inner upgrade and the full range of Mysterial Leadership capacities naturally comes online. The Level 2 outcomes build upon the achievements of Level 1, generating a “higher octave” of consciousness, connectedness and creative contribution.<a id=\"certification\" name=\"certification\"></a>\r\n<h4>How Our Certification Differs from Other Leadership Courses</h4>\r\n<strong>Recognizing that most leadership programs are based on masculine models of leadership, we created our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification to address the unique ways that women develop as leaders. By focusing on how women learn and grow and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we designed a program that unlocks a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results.</strong>\r\n\r\nWomen’s Mysterial Leadership Certification awakens women’s untapped leadership potential by weaving together the following unique elements:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Transformative/developmental. </span>Many leadership programs focus on learning new theories or acquiring new skills. Our Certification not only offers leading-edge theories and new behavioral tools, it also enables a fundamental transformation of outdated patterns in in the way a woman lives, loves and leads. It helps students to awaken to their full value as women and express that value freely and authentically.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Integral. </span>Drawing upon the extensive work of Ken Wilber, Robert Kegan, Otto Scharmer, Susanne Cook-Greuter, and other leading theorists, our comprehensive approach integrates a diversity of systems, academic disciplines, and forms of knowledge—from the wisdom of ancient shamans and sages to today’s breakthroughs in cognitive science—into a handful of essential elements that are key to facilitating human development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Accelerated. </span>Although radical transformation doesn’t happen in a single weekend, or even a few weeks, it doesn’t need to take years. Our Mysterial Sequence™ provides the most efficient, critical path through the essential work needed to develop a woman leader. Individualized coaching, a rigorously researched program curriculum, and the catalytic nature of a learning community combine together into an alchemical force. We developed our 4.5 and 9 month curriculums to accelerate true transformation without sacrificing artistry, enjoyment, academic excellence, or deep connection.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Theory- and Research-Based. </span>We combine stimulating theories from innovative thought leaders with our extensive experience and research in women’s growth and leadership development. We systematically review how women in our programs are transforming and update our curriculum accordingly. This rigorous, experiential curriculum has qualified our curriculum for over a decade as a university-certificate program.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Embodied.</span>It is vital that women today build a dynamic relationship with the full spectrum of their being, so that they are able to embody and express their unique essence. We teach women to access ways of knowing that engage all three centers of intelligence—thinking (head), feeling (heart), and sensing (body)—so that they can bring a holistic understanding to complex issues.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Individually Tailored. </span>Participants work intimately throughout each program with a certified coach trained in our Mysterial methodology. Using a comprehensive integral assessment process, the coach will skillfully customize the program to support the student’s unique development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Supportive and Catalytic. </span>Our certification provides a dynamic learning community to initiate and support personal transformation. The cohort offers a powerful community of practice experience of being in trusting, supportive relationships with other women.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Beautiful and Imaginative. </span>We actively engage women’s sensing and feeling natures by designing our instructional materials and working environments to be beautiful, inspiring, and delightful. Using stimulating right-brain processes and practices, we invite imagination to awaken women to their deepest feminine being.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Substantive and Highly Skilled Faculty. </span>Our dedicated and well-trained faculty fully embody the Mysterial Way of Being, facilitating our programs with multi-faceted skill, deep heart, and a sense of playful possibilities.\r\n<h5>We invite you to join us in this emerging movement of Mysterial Women, r-evolutionizing the way women live, love, and lead.</h5>\r\nTo learn more about the level 1 program, <a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\"><em>click here</em></a>\r\n\r\nTo find out about our upcoming complimentary information sessions, click here\r\n\r\nFor other questions, please contact us below.\r\n<h5>Sample H5 Heading</h5>\r\n<h6>Sample H6 Heading</h6>','Programs','','inherit','open','open','','22-revision-87','','','2012-09-30 18:26:47','2012-09-30 18:26:47','',22,'http://koreevolution.com/test/22-revision-87/',0,'revision','',0),(555,1,'2012-09-30 18:03:58','2012-09-30 18:03:58','<h1><img src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/programs2-header.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"programs2-header\" width=\"705\" height=\"179\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-535\" />\r\nOUR PROGRAMS AND APPROACH</h1>','Programs-technology','','inherit','open','open','','517-revision-5','','','2012-09-30 18:03:58','2012-09-30 18:03:58','',517,'http://koreevolution.com/test/517-revision-5/',0,'revision','',0),(556,1,'2012-09-30 18:27:41','2012-09-30 18:27:41','<h1><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-521\" title=\"programs-header\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/programs-header.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"705\" height=\"211\" />\r\nOUR PROGRAMS AND APPROACH</h1>\r\n<h2>Why Mysterial Leadership, Why Now</h2>\r\n<h5>Ever wonder if the success you’ve worked so hard for has been worth the price?

Like a plant that unfolds from seed, to shoot, to leaves and flowers, a woman develops in an organic process that unfolds in identifiable stages, each more complex than the next. These stages build upon one another and none can be skipped.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™ Programs</h2>\r\n<h4><a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-508\" title=\"Always Now II Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>General Program Structure</h4>\r\n<h5>Pre Program Assessment</h5>\r\nPrior to the start of our programs, each individual participates in a rigorous and comprehensive integral assessment with a faculty member. This establishes a baseline from which we can specifically coach and systematically track students’ leadership development progress and outcomes.\r\n<h5>Program Structure</h5>\r\nEach program begins with a five-day residential Opening Retreat—a rich and deeply engaging experience that establishes a catalytic learning community and lays the groundwork for individualized coaching with faculty. Additionally, women are introduced to their facilitated online learning classroom in which they will engage with other cohort members throughout the program. We meet again during the program mid-point, either virtually or in another residential retreat. Both programs conclude with a residential Closing Retreat. In order to be certified, students must complete and present their culminating group leadership service project at the Closing Retreat. This project is an opportunity for the students to apply their own emerging leadership skills in collaboration with others, while making a contribution to the awakening and development of girls and women.\r\n\r\nResidential retreats are currently held at <a href=\"http://harmonyhill.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Harmony Hill Retreat Center</a> overlooking the beautiful Hood Canal and Olympic mountain range on Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula. The closest airport is Seattle-Tacoma International. Harmony Hill offers first-class, green-built accommodations, beautiful grounds, delicious wholesome food, and an inspiring container for our transformative work.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\" target=\"_blank\">Level 1: The Opening Program</a></h4>\r\nThis 4.5 month residential + online university-certificate course and learning community is currently led by Kore founders and core faculty. It delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. This program redresses critical aspects of women’s feminine nature that have been rejected or become dormant, underutilized, or distorted. This is necessary to create a healthy, sustainable balance with the masculine capacities that the contemporary workplace requires of them, such that they are more productive, creative, inspired, and satisfied in their careers. The Opening Program is designed to stand alone, and women earn a university certificate for completion. It is a requirement for the Level 2 program.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 2: The Emergence Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-2-the-emergence-program/\">Level 2: The Emergence Program</a></h4>\r\nThis 9 month alchemical residential + online university certificate course and learning community is led by Kore founders and core faculty. In combination with Level 1, this program completes the inner upgrade and the full range of Mysterial Leadership capacities naturally comes online. The Level 2 outcomes build upon the achievements of Level 1, generating a “higher octave” of consciousness, connectedness and creative contribution.<a id=\"certification\" name=\"certification\"></a>\r\n<h4>How Our Certification Differs from Other Leadership Courses</h4>\r\n<strong>Recognizing that most leadership programs are based on masculine models of leadership, we created our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification to address the unique ways that women develop as leaders. By focusing on how women learn and grow and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we designed a program that unlocks a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results.</strong>\r\n\r\nWomen’s Mysterial Leadership Certification awakens women’s untapped leadership potential by weaving together the following unique elements:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Transformative/developmental. </span>Many leadership programs focus on learning new theories or acquiring new skills. Our Certification not only offers leading-edge theories and new behavioral tools, it also enables a fundamental transformation of outdated patterns in in the way a woman lives, loves and leads. It helps students to awaken to their full value as women and express that value freely and authentically.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Integral. </span>Drawing upon the extensive work of Ken Wilber, Robert Kegan, Otto Scharmer, Susanne Cook-Greuter, and other leading theorists, our comprehensive approach integrates a diversity of systems, academic disciplines, and forms of knowledge—from the wisdom of ancient shamans and sages to today’s breakthroughs in cognitive science—into a handful of essential elements that are key to facilitating human development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Accelerated. </span>Although radical transformation doesn’t happen in a single weekend, or even a few weeks, it doesn’t need to take years. Our Mysterial Sequence™ provides the most efficient, critical path through the essential work needed to develop a woman leader. Individualized coaching, a rigorously researched program curriculum, and the catalytic nature of a learning community combine together into an alchemical force. We developed our 4.5 and 9 month curriculums to accelerate true transformation without sacrificing artistry, enjoyment, academic excellence, or deep connection.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Theory- and Research-Based. </span>We combine stimulating theories from innovative thought leaders with our extensive experience and research in women’s growth and leadership development. We systematically review how women in our programs are transforming and update our curriculum accordingly. This rigorous, experiential curriculum has qualified our curriculum for over a decade as a university-certificate program.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Embodied.</span>It is vital that women today build a dynamic relationship with the full spectrum of their being, so that they are able to embody and express their unique essence. We teach women to access ways of knowing that engage all three centers of intelligence—thinking (head), feeling (heart), and sensing (body)—so that they can bring a holistic understanding to complex issues.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Individually Tailored. </span>Participants work intimately throughout each program with a certified coach trained in our Mysterial methodology. Using a comprehensive integral assessment process, the coach will skillfully customize the program to support the student’s unique development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Supportive and Catalytic. </span>Our certification provides a dynamic learning community to initiate and support personal transformation. The cohort offers a powerful community of practice experience of being in trusting, supportive relationships with other women.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Beautiful and Imaginative. </span>We actively engage women’s sensing and feeling natures by designing our instructional materials and working environments to be beautiful, inspiring, and delightful. Using stimulating right-brain processes and practices, we invite imagination to awaken women to their deepest feminine being.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Substantive and Highly Skilled Faculty. </span>Our dedicated and well-trained faculty fully embody the Mysterial Way of Being, facilitating our programs with multi-faceted skill, deep heart, and a sense of playful possibilities.\r\n<h5>We invite you to join us in this emerging movement of Mysterial Women, r-evolutionizing the way women live, love, and lead.</h5>\r\nTo learn more about the level 1 program, <a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\"><em>click here</em></a>\r\n\r\nTo find out about our upcoming complimentary information sessions, click here\r\n\r\nFor other questions, please contact us below.\r\n<h5>Sample H5 Heading</h5>\r\n<h6>Sample H6 Heading</h6>','Programs','','inherit','open','open','','22-revision-88','','','2012-09-30 18:27:41','2012-09-30 18:27:41','',22,'http://koreevolution.com/test/22-revision-88/',0,'revision','',0),(557,1,'2012-09-30 18:37:27','2012-09-30 18:37:27','','Level1-more','','publish','open','open','','level1-more','','','2012-09-30 18:37:27','2012-09-30 18:37:27','',0,'http://koreevolution.com/test/?page_id=557',0,'page','',0),(558,1,'2012-09-30 18:37:15','2012-09-30 18:37:15','','Auto Draft','','inherit','open','open','','557-revision','','','2012-09-30 18:37:15','2012-09-30 18:37:15','',557,'http://koreevolution.com/test/557-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(559,1,'2012-09-30 18:17:15','2012-09-30 18:17:15','<h1>LEVEL 1: THE OPENING PROGRAM</h1>\r\n<h2><img src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/gold-dakini2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"gold-dakini2\" width=\"240\" height=\"312\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-541\" />Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™</h2>\r\n<h4>Level 1: The Opening Program</h4>\r\n<h5>Is the Level 1 Opening Program Right for You—right now?</h5>\r\nThe Opening Program helps women create fulfilling, self-authored lives. Women who are drawn to our deep transformative programs recognize that investing in their own development is a powerful way to increase satisfaction and effectiveness in their personal and professional lives, in addition to the positive impact they have on others and the world.\r\n\r\nAs the Mysterial pattern of consciousness starts to come alive in women today, it is naturally disrupting their familiar physical, emotional, mental and spiritual ways of being and doing in the world. When we reach the limits of a way of being or worldview that is no longer a match for the demands of our lives, it starts to get very uncomfortable. That is the signal that growth is required. Discovering that the turmoil in our lives today could be the result of the evolutionary urge toward a more complex ‘inner operating system’, instead of signs of failure, is often a deep relief for women.\r\n\r\nSee if you recognize any of these signs of Mysterial Emergence that could indicate your readiness for The Opening Program:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>You’re burnt out from a life that’s eighty percent doing and only twenty percent being—and you can’t see how to fix this imbalance</li>\r\n	<li>You suspect you’re sabotaging yourself with outdated beliefs and habits that compromise your ability to achieve the results you intend</li>\r\n	<li>You are exhausted and unhappy, feeling like you’ve lost connection to your soul even though you have achieved your career goals and what others see as success.</li>\r\n	<li>You feel a painful gap between who you are on the inside and what you want to express in the world</li>\r\n	<li>You wonder where your playful spirit went and how life became such hard work</li>\r\n	<li>You are longing for a relationship where you can feel met and received for all of who you are</li>\r\n	<li>You are tired of constantly taking care of others, having nothing left at the end of the day to take care of your own needs.</li>\r\n	<li>You long to share your gifts and make a contribution, but you can’t see how to do that</li>\r\n	<li>You feel alone and alienated from the mainstream, unable to find others who share your worldview.</li>\r\n	<li>You have been searching for something, but you just don’t know what.

Women who have completed our deeply transformative Level 1 program consistently emerge with a grounded glow that is genuine, magnetic and attractive, naturally inviting others into their own authenticity. These women now experience the profound value and power of their deep feminine being, enabling them to more skillfully engage their masculine strength to act in alignment with their deepest intentions.\r\n\r\n“I entered the Kore Level 1 Program with the intent to regain my core, my center, myself. I had a powerful desire for change in my life, but wasn’t sure what that change would look like. What I received from this program was more than I imagined. Instead of regaining myself, I found myself. The program gave me life-long skills and practices that ensure I will continue to learn and grow as a person, in my relationships with others, and in my work.”\r\n\r\nJanet K. Oslund, Program Manager\r\n\r\nPlanning and Development, City of Seattle\r\n\r\n“As a result of my experience in the Kore Level 1 program I discovered that I had been neglecting parts of my life and self that I wasn\'t even aware needed tending. Through the practices I learned, interactions with the other women in my group, and the depth of the program, I began to address these parts. As a result, I now have access to deeper aspects of myself, sending me on a journey to bring richness to my life both personally and professionally. The Level 1 program also gave me the tools to deal with stressful situations and conflict in a much healthier and productive manner than I did before. Overall, I feel more optimistic and open to what lies ahead!”\r\n\r\nArlene Fairfield, Principal, Global Change Network\r\n\r\n“My experience in the Kore Level 1 program was life-changing. The faculty—and each element of the program—held me in such a way that I was able to uncover, understand, and break free from that which was keeping me from my full potential. I gained the confidence to author my own life and the tools to make it possible. It was truly an amazing journey.”\r\n\r\nDiana Sandoval, MS, Family Coach and Consultant\r\n\r\n“The Kore Level 1 program was a real wake up call for me! It offers an integrated program in a 4 month time frame with a strong supportive network allowing enough time for the transformative process with little time for diversions. Timing was perfect to support my stepping into a new leadership position, with a new way, with a set of leadership practices that continue to support my transition to a management position.”\r\n\r\nLois Wyse, Business Systems Management Candidate,\r\n\r\nThe Boeing Company\r\n\r\n“The benefits and outcomes that I had expected to obtain from completing this program exceeded my wildest expectations. Personally, I engaged in self-discovery that explored deep, uncharted waters; realized breakthroughs via cataclysmic shifts in perceptions and consciousness; felt inspired and ignited by poignant “aha” moments.\r\n\r\nIn this learning community, everything’s a process...meaning you identify your signature leadership presence in the world by deepening your consciousness, challenging your worldviews or mind- set, expanding your leadership skills, and then applying those learnings through experimentation, practice and risk. Transforming... Terrific... Exhilarating... Innovative.”\r\n\r\nDianne Juhl, Depth Psychologist and Social Entrepreneur\r\n\r\n“Take twelve smart, accomplished, ambitious, and loving women who want to be able to bring more of themselves to their personal and professional lives. Put them like chicks in an incubator with four exciting, brilliant, and doting “guides.” Feed with ideas, exercises, personal practices, camaraderie, and sensory experiences for six months. Voila! Through the circle a powerful synergy is created, a shared experience of intense growth...a new understanding of how much we can bring to the world, and practice in actualizing it.\r\n\r\nDo it if you possibly can. Even if you think you can’t, do it anyway!”\r\n\r\nConnie Miller, Communication Consultant and Coach\r\n\r\n“I learned to explore and experiment, to uncover and expand. The prodding and support of the guides and co-adventurers encouraged me to open doors inside myself that had been carefully latched or locked. I have a renewed view of myself as a leader, capable of providing my future work environment with more integrated wisdom and skills. I appreciated the integrated structure of our experiences and learning. I am humbled by my deeper understanding of what is involved in change, and how critical it is in our world.”\r\n\r\nManagement Consultant\r\n\r\n“My personal life was unsatisfying and my professional life was unbearable. Together they were out of balance. I felt I was literally at a breaking point. The program came at just the right time. I was in need of help. I needed to make some major changes if I was to survive. Through it I learned:\r\n\r\n* to delegate more/not take everything on myself (i.e. learned to really trust myself to empower other people and let go somewhat).\r\n\r\n* to demonstrate appreciation of my employees (recognition, thank you’s, etc.).\r\n\r\n* to get out of my head, to pay attention to my body as well; I am much healthier now.”\r\n\r\nCorporate Manager\r\n\r\nThe Opening Program Details (H4)\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Mysterial Leadership assessment interview (by Skype or telephone)</li>\r\n	<li>A five-day, four-night residential Opening Retreat</li>\r\n	<li>A one-day virtual Mid-Program retreat carried out in real time with the faculty and learning cohort</li>\r\n	<li>A four-day, three-night residential Closing Retreat</li>\r\n	<li>Online interaction in a skillfully facilitated, dynamic and visually appealing learning environment</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Daily practices (mind, heart, body and soul) to help the student cultivate her Mysterial way of being in the world</li>\r\n	<li>Six 90 minute individual coaching sessions (by Skype or telephone) with a faculty member who will facilitate a student’s growth throughout the program</li>\r\n	<li>Exploration with a faculty member of your Enneagram personality type</li>\r\n	<li>One coaching session on the students’ results for the Mature Adult Profile (MAP), a rigorously tested sentence completion instrument that accurately measures ego stage development</li>\r\n	<li>Reflective fieldwork and capacity building exercises between coaching sessions</li>\r\n	<li>A culminating group service project in which the student applies what she is learning within a group context that makes a meaningful contribution</li>\r\n	<li>Between-session weekly sharing with a Learning Partner to help the student apply what she is learning in the context of a one-on-one relationship</li>\r\n	<li>Two community-building teleconference calls.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h5>The Opening Program Tuition</h5>\r\nThe program tuition, including all materials, is $8,500 for self-sponsored participants or $9,750 for corporate-sponsored participants.

It offers an integrated program in a 4 month time frame with a strong supportive network allowing enough time for the transformative process with little time for diversions. Timing was perfect to support my stepping into a new leadership position, with a new way, with a set of leadership practices that continue to support my transition to a management position.”\r\n\r\nLois Wyse, Business Systems Management Candidate,\r\n\r\nThe Boeing Company\r\n\r\n“The benefits and outcomes that I had expected to obtain from completing this program exceeded my wildest expectations. Personally, I engaged in self-discovery that explored deep, uncharted waters; realized breakthroughs via cataclysmic shifts in perceptions and consciousness; felt inspired and ignited by poignant “aha” moments.\r\n\r\nIn this learning community, everything’s a process...meaning you identify your signature leadership presence in the world by deepening your consciousness, challenging your worldviews or mind- set, expanding your leadership skills, and then applying those learnings through experimentation, practice and risk. Transforming... Terrific... Exhilarating... Innovative.”\r\n\r\nDianne Juhl, Depth Psychologist and Social Entrepreneur\r\n\r\n“Take twelve smart, accomplished, ambitious, and loving women who want to be able to bring more of themselves to their personal and professional lives. Put them like chicks in an incubator with four exciting, brilliant, and doting “guides.” Feed with ideas, exercises, personal practices, camaraderie, and sensory experiences for six months. Voila! Through the circle a powerful synergy is created, a shared experience of intense growth...a new understanding of how much we can bring to the world, and practice in actualizing it.\r\n\r\nDo it if you possibly can. Even if you think you can’t, do it anyway!”\r\n\r\nConnie Miller, Communication Consultant and Coach\r\n\r\n“I learned to explore and experiment, to uncover and expand. The prodding and support of the guides and co-adventurers encouraged me to open doors inside myself that had been carefully latched or locked. I have a renewed view of myself as a leader, capable of providing my future work environment with more integrated wisdom and skills. I appreciated the integrated structure of our experiences and learning. I am humbled by my deeper understanding of what is involved in change, and how critical it is in our world.”\r\n\r\nManagement Consultant\r\n\r\n“My personal life was unsatisfying and my professional life was unbearable. Together they were out of balance. I felt I was literally at a breaking point. The program came at just the right time. I was in need of help. I needed to make some major changes if I was to survive. Through it I learned:\r\n\r\n* to delegate more/not take everything on myself (i.e. learned to really trust myself to empower other people and let go somewhat).\r\n\r\n* to demonstrate appreciation of my employees (recognition, thank you’s, etc.).\r\n\r\n* to get out of my head, to pay attention to my body as well; I am much healthier now.”\r\n\r\nCorporate Manager\r\n\r\nThe Opening Program Details (H4)\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Mysterial Leadership assessment interview (by Skype or telephone)</li>\r\n	<li>A five-day, four-night residential Opening Retreat</li>\r\n	<li>A one-day virtual Mid-Program retreat carried out in real time with the faculty and learning cohort</li>\r\n	<li>A four-day, three-night residential Closing Retreat</li>\r\n	<li>Online interaction in a skillfully facilitated, dynamic and visually appealing learning environment</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Daily practices (mind, heart, body and soul) to help the student cultivate her Mysterial way of being in the world</li>\r\n	<li>Six 90 minute individual coaching sessions (by Skype or telephone) with a faculty member who will facilitate a student’s growth throughout the program</li>\r\n	<li>Exploration with a faculty member of your Enneagram personality type</li>\r\n	<li>One coaching session on the students’ results for the Mature Adult Profile (MAP), a rigorously tested sentence completion instrument that accurately measures ego stage development</li>\r\n	<li>Reflective fieldwork and capacity building exercises between coaching sessions</li>\r\n	<li>A culminating group service project in which the student applies what she is learning within a group context that makes a meaningful contribution</li>\r\n	<li>Between-session weekly sharing with a Learning Partner to help the student apply what she is learning in the context of a one-on-one relationship</li>\r\n	<li>Two community-building teleconference calls.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h5>The Opening Program Tuition</h5>\r\nThe program tuition, including all materials, is $8,500 for self-sponsored participants or $9,750 for corporate-sponsored participants.

They glowed with a radiant presence, their actions were aligned with their intentions, and they had a remarkable sense of self confidence and true authority. They had unlocked a joyful creativity and an authentic way of being that was powerfully transformative.\r\n\r\nWe could find no existing word that could adequately capture the integral complexity, artistry, and extra-ordinary leadership of these women.

Do you sense that life keeps speeding up and you just can’t run any faster? Do you long to make this world a better place, but don’t see how? Do you feel that your life is too much doing and too little being? Do you struggle to offer what you value the most—your empathy, your intuition, your openness—to a world that favors impersonal, rational, decisive ways of acting?</h5>\r\nYou’re not alone. As we venture into this complex new century, more and more people—women and men—are realizing that longstanding ways of acting and being are no longer working, for individuals, communities, or the earth.\r\n\r\nOur world is increasingly interconnected, fast-paced, unpredictable, and complex. In recent years, its spectacular challenges and opportunities have brought us to the limit of our current paradigm of leadership—one that was a match for the times in which it emerged—but is proving insufficient for today.\r\n\r\nThis milieu is calling forth a whole new way of leading, one that is truly a match for the 21st century. And we began to observe, in graduates of our full Certification program, exactly this happening - radically new ways of living, loving and leading consistently emerging. We felt a strong need to name this new paradigm of leadership so that it could provide an inspiring image of the future for other women.\r\n<h4>We call this way of being Mysterial leadership™.</h4>\r\nThe word “Mysterial” derives from two characteristics that we observed distinguish a 21st century new paradigm woman leader from her 20th century counterpart:\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>Ease with the unknown, chaotic, and ambiguous – with the <em>Mystery</em>, and</li>\r\n	<li><em>Medial</em> with its two meanings - a psychological term denoting the capacity in a woman’s psyche that is able to bridge between radical differences, including masculine-feminine, dark- light, simple-complex, east-west, rational-intuitive, conscious-unconscious, pragmatic- visionary, and so forth. Medial also means an ability to manage reactivity and find the middle way in challenging situations.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h4>An Expanded Definition of Leadership</h4>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-440\" title=\"LLL circles\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white.jpg\" alt=\"Living Loving Leading Circles\" width=\"273\" height=\"274\" /></a>Many women today do not see themselves as leaders, even though they have significant influence within their worlds. This is especially true of women who are not in positions of traditional authority. Kore Evolution more expansively defines leadership as a way of being and doing that includes and yet transcends the focus on roles, power, competition, and control associated with traditional leadership paradigms.\r\n\r\nWhen a woman begins to embody a Mysterial way of being, it is natural for her to bring her innate gifts and passions to the world. She becomes an influencer through her presence and her creative, well-timed actions – a Mysterial leader.\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs-leadership/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>read more...</em></a>\r\n<h4>An Inner Upgrade</h4>\r\nMany women leaders today are feeling a fierce urgency to up-level their own leadership<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-500\" title=\"WOB diamond.005\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005-300x294.jpg\" alt=\"Way of Being and Behaviors Diamond\" width=\"300\" height=\"294\" /></a> capacity and unique expression. This includes wanting access to not only their masculine skills to make things happen, in a linear way, with focused goals for unlimited growth, within a command and control structure; but also the complex feminine capacities for emotional/social intelligence, intuition, collaboration and caring, divergent thinking, and a sustainable and generative understanding of cycles, among other things.\r\n\r\nImportantly, women want a new paradigm of leadership that not only draws on more of their innate strengths (that the world needs now), but is also more satisfying and meaningful.<a id=\"urbanmystery\" name=\"urbanmystery\"></a>\r\n<h4>For women to up-level to a new paradigm of leadership that is truly a match for the 21st century, they require a leadership development approach based on <em>how women actually develop</em>.</h4>\r\n<h2>Our Urban Mystery School</h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-503\" title=\"Space Reaches From Us[1]\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" /></a>We create conditions in which women can open to the unfolding mystery of their innate potential and develop the leadership capacities needed to creatively and effectively engage in the world.\r\n<h4>The Woman’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™</h4>\r\n<strong>The Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification was created to be the most comprehensive, in-depth, ground-breaking, and future-sensing leadership development program in the world based on how women actually develop.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt is intended to prepare women to expand their leadership influence and impact in a rapidly evolving, massively globalizing environment by skillfully accessing all of their innate potential as women, benefiting themselves, others, their organizations and beyond.\r\n\r\nIn alliance with LIOS Graduate College of Leadership at Saybrook University, our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification pairs an academically sound, rigorous, research-based curriculum with the ageless wisdom traditions, arts, and deep practice of an urban mystery school.\r\n\r\nIt is delivered in two distinct stages: The 4.5 month <strong>Level 1 Opening Program</strong>, delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. For women who desire higher levels of leadership and societal contribution, the more extensive 9-month <strong>Level 2 Emergence Program builds</strong> upon the Level 1 program to continue the learning experience and complete the Mysterial Leadership Certification process.\r\n\r\nThe comprehensive Mysterial Leadership Certification was designed by the Kore Evolution partners, drawing on 12 years of intensive research, on-the-ground experience, and the expertise of tested and trusted faculty members who have been dedicated to this important work for many years.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Leadership Certification is revolutionary, based on a coherent distillation of academically accepted bio-psycho-social-energetic frameworks of human and cultural development. Since 2000, it has been tested and refined with women of diverse ages, temperaments, competencies, backgrounds, and styles and at all levels within their organizations.\r\n<h5>Mysterial Leadership Certification Builds the Foundation for Leadership Growth</h5>\r\nMany leadership development programs focus only at the skill, knowledge, and expertise-<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-505\" title=\"Enso 3 Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med-247x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"300\" /></a>building level. To build the leadership capacities necessary to address the challenges of the 21stcentury, we must first upgrade the ‘Way of Being’ from which these behaviors and skills emerge.\r\n\r\nThrough our Level 1 and Level 2 programs, we systematically build a foundation, or a “source code,” that creates a solid, sustainable way of being upon which desired leadership behaviors can be sustainably built.\r\n\r\nWith the cultivation of a Mysterial Way of Being, a woman naturally expresses more skillful and effective leadership behaviors and increases her overall ability to develop her knowledge, skills, and expertise. Our graduates consistently make more valued and exceptional contributions in their workplaces, families, and communities, and report being more fulfilled in their work and their lives in general. This kind of leadership development can be seen as a true investment for the future, one that will continue to pay dividends.\r\n<h4>Our Transformative Technology: The Mysterial Sequence™</h4>\r\n<strong>By focusing on how women learn and grow, and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we learned what it takes to unlock a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results. </strong>\r\n\r\nThrough our in-depth work with many cohorts of students we decoded a developmental process, designed specifically for women, that consists of five distinct and sequential steps.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Sequence is an elegant developmental process that clears and cultivates all of our Yin and Yang essences, providing the “critical path” to a sustainable inner upgrade. Like a plant that unfolds from seed, to shoot, to leaves and flowers, a woman develops in an organic process that unfolds in identifiable stages, each more complex than the next. These stages build upon one another and none can be skipped.\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs-technology/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>read more...</em></a>\r\n<h2>Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™ Programs</h2>\r\n<h4><a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-508\" title=\"Always Now II Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>General Program Structure</h4>\r\n<h5>Pre Program Assessment</h5>\r\nPrior to the start of our programs, each individual participates in a rigorous and comprehensive integral assessment with a faculty member. This establishes a baseline from which we can specifically coach and systematically track students’ leadership development progress and outcomes.\r\n<h5>Program Structure</h5>\r\nEach program begins with a five-day residential Opening Retreat—a rich and deeply engaging experience that establishes a catalytic learning community and lays the groundwork for individualized coaching with faculty. Additionally, women are introduced to their facilitated online learning classroom in which they will engage with other cohort members throughout the program. We meet again during the program mid-point, either virtually or in another residential retreat. Both programs conclude with a residential Closing Retreat. In order to be certified, students must complete and present their culminating group leadership service project at the Closing Retreat. This project is an opportunity for the students to apply their own emerging leadership skills in collaboration with others, while making a contribution to the awakening and development of girls and women.\r\n\r\nResidential retreats are currently held at <a href=\"http://harmonyhill.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Harmony Hill Retreat Center</a> overlooking the beautiful Hood Canal and Olympic mountain range on Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula. The closest airport is Seattle-Tacoma International. Harmony Hill offers first-class, green-built accommodations, beautiful grounds, delicious wholesome food, and an inspiring container for our transformative work.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\" target=\"_blank\">Level 1: The Opening Program</a></h4>\r\nThis 4.5 month residential + online university-certificate course and learning community is currently led by Kore founders and core faculty. It delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. This program redresses critical aspects of women’s feminine nature that have been rejected or become dormant, underutilized, or distorted. This is necessary to create a healthy, sustainable balance with the masculine capacities that the contemporary workplace requires of them, such that they are more productive, creative, inspired, and satisfied in their careers. The Opening Program is designed to stand alone, and women earn a university certificate for completion. It is a requirement for the Level 2 program.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 2: The Emergence Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-2-the-emergence-program/\">Level 2: The Emergence Program</a></h4>\r\nThis 9 month alchemical residential + online university certificate course and learning community is led by Kore founders and core faculty. In combination with Level 1, this program completes the inner upgrade and the full range of Mysterial Leadership capacities naturally comes online. The Level 2 outcomes build upon the achievements of Level 1, generating a “higher octave” of consciousness, connectedness and creative contribution.<a id=\"certification\" name=\"certification\"></a>\r\n<h4>How Our Certification Differs from Other Leadership Courses</h4>\r\n<strong>Recognizing that most leadership programs are based on masculine models of leadership, we created our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification to address the unique ways that women develop as leaders. By focusing on how women learn and grow and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we designed a program that unlocks a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results.</strong>\r\n\r\nWomen’s Mysterial Leadership Certification awakens women’s untapped leadership potential by weaving together the following unique elements:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Transformative/developmental. </span>Many leadership programs focus on learning new theories or acquiring new skills. Our Certification not only offers leading-edge theories and new behavioral tools, it also enables a fundamental transformation of outdated patterns in in the way a woman lives, loves and leads. It helps students to awaken to their full value as women and express that value freely and authentically.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Integral. </span>Drawing upon the extensive work of Ken Wilber, Robert Kegan, Otto Scharmer, Susanne Cook-Greuter, and other leading theorists, our comprehensive approach integrates a diversity of systems, academic disciplines, and forms of knowledge—from the wisdom of ancient shamans and sages to today’s breakthroughs in cognitive science—into a handful of essential elements that are key to facilitating human development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Accelerated. </span>Although radical transformation doesn’t happen in a single weekend, or even a few weeks, it doesn’t need to take years. Our Mysterial Sequence™ provides the most efficient, critical path through the essential work needed to develop a woman leader. Individualized coaching, a rigorously researched program curriculum, and the catalytic nature of a learning community combine together into an alchemical force. We developed our 4.5 and 9 month curriculums to accelerate true transformation without sacrificing artistry, enjoyment, academic excellence, or deep connection.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Theory- and Research-Based. </span>We combine stimulating theories from innovative thought leaders with our extensive experience and research in women’s growth and leadership development. We systematically review how women in our programs are transforming and update our curriculum accordingly. This rigorous, experiential curriculum has qualified our curriculum for over a decade as a university-certificate program.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Embodied.</span>It is vital that women today build a dynamic relationship with the full spectrum of their being, so that they are able to embody and express their unique essence. We teach women to access ways of knowing that engage all three centers of intelligence—thinking (head), feeling (heart), and sensing (body)—so that they can bring a holistic understanding to complex issues.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Individually Tailored. </span>Participants work intimately throughout each program with a certified coach trained in our Mysterial methodology. Using a comprehensive integral assessment process, the coach will skillfully customize the program to support the student’s unique development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Supportive and Catalytic. </span>Our certification provides a dynamic learning community to initiate and support personal transformation. The cohort offers a powerful community of practice experience of being in trusting, supportive relationships with other women.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Beautiful and Imaginative. </span>We actively engage women’s sensing and feeling natures by designing our instructional materials and working environments to be beautiful, inspiring, and delightful. Using stimulating right-brain processes and practices, we invite imagination to awaken women to their deepest feminine being.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Substantive and Highly Skilled Faculty. </span>Our dedicated and well-trained faculty fully embody the Mysterial Way of Being, facilitating our programs with multi-faceted skill, deep heart, and a sense of playful possibilities.\r\n<h5>We invite you to join us in this emerging movement of Mysterial Women, r-evolutionizing the way women live, love, and lead.</h5>\r\nTo learn more about the level 1 program, <a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\"><em>click here</em></a>\r\n\r\nTo find out about our upcoming complimentary information sessions, click here\r\n\r\nFor other questions, please contact us below.\r\n<h5>Sample H5 Heading</h5>\r\n<h6>Sample H6 Heading</h6>','Programs','','inherit','open','open','','22-revision-89','','','2012-09-30 18:29:29','2012-09-30 18:29:29','',22,'http://koreevolution.com/test/22-revision-89/',0,'revision','',0),(563,1,'2012-09-30 18:44:53','2012-09-30 18:44:53','<h1><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-521\" title=\"programs-header\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/programs-header.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"705\" height=\"211\" />\r\nOUR PROGRAMS AND APPROACH</h1>\r\n<h2>Why Mysterial Leadership, Why Now</h2>\r\n<h5>Ever wonder if the success you’ve worked so hard for has been worth the price?

Medial also means an ability to manage reactivity and find the middle way in challenging situations.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h4>An Expanded Definition of Leadership</h4>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-440\" title=\"LLL circles\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white.jpg\" alt=\"Living Loving Leading Circles\" width=\"273\" height=\"274\" /></a>Many women today do not see themselves as leaders, even though they have significant influence within their worlds. This is especially true of women who are not in positions of traditional authority. Kore Evolution more expansively defines leadership as a way of being and doing that includes and yet transcends the focus on roles, power, competition, and control associated with traditional leadership paradigms.\r\n\r\nWhen a woman begins to embody a Mysterial way of being, it is natural for her to bring her innate gifts and passions to the world. She becomes an influencer through her presence and her creative, well-timed actions – a Mysterial leader.\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs-leadership/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>read more...</em></a>\r\n<h4>An Inner Upgrade</h4>\r\nMany women leaders today are feeling a fierce urgency to up-level their own leadership<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-500\" title=\"WOB diamond.005\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005-300x294.jpg\" alt=\"Way of Being and Behaviors Diamond\" width=\"300\" height=\"294\" /></a> capacity and unique expression. This includes wanting access to not only their masculine skills to make things happen, in a linear way, with focused goals for unlimited growth, within a command and control structure; but also the complex feminine capacities for emotional/social intelligence, intuition, collaboration and caring, divergent thinking, and a sustainable and generative understanding of cycles, among other things.\r\n\r\nImportantly, women want a new paradigm of leadership that not only draws on more of their innate strengths (that the world needs now), but is also more satisfying and meaningful.<a id=\"urbanmystery\" name=\"urbanmystery\"></a>\r\n<h4>For women to up-level to a new paradigm of leadership that is truly a match for the 21st century, they require a leadership development approach based on <em>how women actually develop</em>.</h4>\r\n<h2>Our Urban Mystery School</h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-503\" title=\"Space Reaches From Us[1]\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" /></a>We create conditions in which women can open to the unfolding mystery of their innate potential and develop the leadership capacities needed to creatively and effectively engage in the world.\r\n<h4>The Woman’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™</h4>\r\n<strong>The Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification was created to be the most comprehensive, in-depth, ground-breaking, and future-sensing leadership development program in the world based on how women actually develop.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt is intended to prepare women to expand their leadership influence and impact in a rapidly evolving, massively globalizing environment by skillfully accessing all of their innate potential as women, benefiting themselves, others, their organizations and beyond.\r\n\r\nIn alliance with <a href=\"http://www.saybrook.edu/lios\" target=\"_blank\">LIOS Graduate College of Leadership at Saybrook University</a>, our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification pairs an academically sound, rigorous, research-based curriculum with the ageless wisdom traditions, arts, and deep practice of an urban mystery school.\r\n\r\nIt is delivered in two distinct stages: The 4.5 month <strong>Level 1 Opening Program</strong>, delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. For women who desire higher levels of leadership and societal contribution, the more extensive 9-month <strong>Level 2 Emergence Program builds</strong> upon the Level 1 program to continue the learning experience and complete the Mysterial Leadership Certification process.\r\n\r\nThe comprehensive Mysterial Leadership Certification was designed by the Kore Evolution partners, drawing on 12 years of intensive research, on-the-ground experience, and the expertise of tested and trusted faculty members who have been dedicated to this important work for many years.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Leadership Certification is revolutionary, based on a coherent distillation of academically accepted bio-psycho-social-energetic frameworks of human and cultural development. Since 2000, it has been tested and refined with women of diverse ages, temperaments, competencies, backgrounds, and styles and at all levels within their organizations.\r\n<h5>Mysterial Leadership Certification Builds the Foundation for Leadership Growth</h5>\r\nMany leadership development programs focus only at the skill, knowledge, and expertise-<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-505\" title=\"Enso 3 Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med-247x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"300\" /></a>building level. To build the leadership capacities necessary to address the challenges of the 21stcentury, we must first upgrade the ‘Way of Being’ from which these behaviors and skills emerge.\r\n\r\nThrough our Level 1 and Level 2 programs, we systematically build a foundation, or a “source code,” that creates a solid, sustainable way of being upon which desired leadership behaviors can be sustainably built.\r\n\r\nWith the cultivation of a Mysterial Way of Being, a woman naturally expresses more skillful and effective leadership behaviors and increases her overall ability to develop her knowledge, skills, and expertise. Our graduates consistently make more valued and exceptional contributions in their workplaces, families, and communities, and report being more fulfilled in their work and their lives in general. This kind of leadership development can be seen as a true investment for the future, one that will continue to pay dividends.\r\n<h4>Our Transformative Technology: The Mysterial Sequence™</h4>\r\n<strong>By focusing on how women learn and grow, and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we learned what it takes to unlock a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results. </strong>\r\n\r\nThrough our in-depth work with many cohorts of students we decoded a developmental process, designed specifically for women, that consists of five distinct and sequential steps.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Sequence is an elegant developmental process that clears and cultivates all of our Yin and Yang essences, providing the “critical path” to a sustainable inner upgrade. Like a plant that unfolds from seed, to shoot, to leaves and flowers, a woman develops in an organic process that unfolds in identifiable stages, each more complex than the next. These stages build upon one another and none can be skipped.\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs-technology/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>read more...</em></a>\r\n<h2>Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™ Programs</h2>\r\n<h4><a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-508\" title=\"Always Now II Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>General Program Structure</h4>\r\n<h5>Pre Program Assessment</h5>\r\nPrior to the start of our programs, each individual participates in a rigorous and comprehensive integral assessment with a faculty member. This establishes a baseline from which we can specifically coach and systematically track students’ leadership development progress and outcomes.\r\n<h5>Program Structure</h5>\r\nEach program begins with a five-day residential Opening Retreat—a rich and deeply engaging experience that establishes a catalytic learning community and lays the groundwork for individualized coaching with faculty. Additionally, women are introduced to their facilitated online learning classroom in which they will engage with other cohort members throughout the program. We meet again during the program mid-point, either virtually or in another residential retreat. Both programs conclude with a residential Closing Retreat. In order to be certified, students must complete and present their culminating group leadership service project at the Closing Retreat. This project is an opportunity for the students to apply their own emerging leadership skills in collaboration with others, while making a contribution to the awakening and development of girls and women.\r\n\r\nResidential retreats are currently held at <a href=\"http://harmonyhill.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Harmony Hill Retreat Center</a> overlooking the beautiful Hood Canal and Olympic mountain range on Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula. The closest airport is Seattle-Tacoma International. Harmony Hill offers first-class, green-built accommodations, beautiful grounds, delicious wholesome food, and an inspiring container for our transformative work.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\" target=\"_blank\">Level 1: The Opening Program</a></h4>\r\nThis 4.5 month residential + online university-certificate course and learning community is currently led by Kore founders and core faculty. It delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. This program redresses critical aspects of women’s feminine nature that have been rejected or become dormant, underutilized, or distorted. This is necessary to create a healthy, sustainable balance with the masculine capacities that the contemporary workplace requires of them, such that they are more productive, creative, inspired, and satisfied in their careers. The Opening Program is designed to stand alone, and women earn a university certificate for completion. It is a requirement for the Level 2 program.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 2: The Emergence Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-2-the-emergence-program/\">Level 2: The Emergence Program</a></h4>\r\nThis 9 month alchemical residential + online university certificate course and learning community is led by Kore founders and core faculty. In combination with Level 1, this program completes the inner upgrade and the full range of Mysterial Leadership capacities naturally comes online. The Level 2 outcomes build upon the achievements of Level 1, generating a “higher octave” of consciousness, connectedness and creative contribution.<a id=\"certification\" name=\"certification\"></a>\r\n<h4>How Our Certification Differs from Other Leadership Courses</h4>\r\n<strong>Recognizing that most leadership programs are based on masculine models of leadership, we created our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification to address the unique ways that women develop as leaders. By focusing on how women learn and grow and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we designed a program that unlocks a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results.</strong>\r\n\r\nWomen’s Mysterial Leadership Certification awakens women’s untapped leadership potential by weaving together the following unique elements:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Transformative/developmental. </span>Many leadership programs focus on learning new theories or acquiring new skills. Our Certification not only offers leading-edge theories and new behavioral tools, it also enables a fundamental transformation of outdated patterns in in the way a woman lives, loves and leads. It helps students to awaken to their full value as women and express that value freely and authentically.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Integral. </span>Drawing upon the extensive work of Ken Wilber, Robert Kegan, Otto Scharmer, Susanne Cook-Greuter, and other leading theorists, our comprehensive approach integrates a diversity of systems, academic disciplines, and forms of knowledge—from the wisdom of ancient shamans and sages to today’s breakthroughs in cognitive science—into a handful of essential elements that are key to facilitating human development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Accelerated. </span>Although radical transformation doesn’t happen in a single weekend, or even a few weeks, it doesn’t need to take years. Our Mysterial Sequence™ provides the most efficient, critical path through the essential work needed to develop a woman leader. Individualized coaching, a rigorously researched program curriculum, and the catalytic nature of a learning community combine together into an alchemical force. We developed our 4.5 and 9 month curriculums to accelerate true transformation without sacrificing artistry, enjoyment, academic excellence, or deep connection.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Theory- and Research-Based. </span>We combine stimulating theories from innovative thought leaders with our extensive experience and research in women’s growth and leadership development. We systematically review how women in our programs are transforming and update our curriculum accordingly. This rigorous, experiential curriculum has qualified our curriculum for over a decade as a university-certificate program.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Embodied.</span>It is vital that women today build a dynamic relationship with the full spectrum of their being, so that they are able to embody and express their unique essence. We teach women to access ways of knowing that engage all three centers of intelligence—thinking (head), feeling (heart), and sensing (body)—so that they can bring a holistic understanding to complex issues.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Individually Tailored. </span>Participants work intimately throughout each program with a certified coach trained in our Mysterial methodology. Using a comprehensive integral assessment process, the coach will skillfully customize the program to support the student’s unique development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Supportive and Catalytic. </span>Our certification provides a dynamic learning community to initiate and support personal transformation. The cohort offers a powerful community of practice experience of being in trusting, supportive relationships with other women.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Beautiful and Imaginative. </span>We actively engage women’s sensing and feeling natures by designing our instructional materials and working environments to be beautiful, inspiring, and delightful. Using stimulating right-brain processes and practices, we invite imagination to awaken women to their deepest feminine being.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Substantive and Highly Skilled Faculty. </span>Our dedicated and well-trained faculty fully embody the Mysterial Way of Being, facilitating our programs with multi-faceted skill, deep heart, and a sense of playful possibilities.\r\n<h5>We invite you to join us in this emerging movement of Mysterial Women, r-evolutionizing the way women live, love, and lead.</h5>\r\nTo learn more about the level 1 program, <a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\"><em>click here</em></a>\r\n\r\nTo find out about our upcoming complimentary information sessions, click here\r\n\r\nFor other questions, please contact us below.\r\n<h5>Sample H5 Heading</h5>\r\n<h6>Sample H6 Heading</h6>','Programs','','inherit','open','open','','22-revision-90','','','2012-09-30 18:44:53','2012-09-30 18:44:53','',22,'http://koreevolution.com/test/22-revision-90/',0,'revision','',0),(564,1,'2012-09-30 18:40:25','2012-09-30 18:40:25','<h1>LEVEL 1: THE OPENING PROGRAM</h1>\r\n<h2><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-541\" title=\"gold-dakini2\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/gold-dakini2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"312\" />Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™</h2>\r\n<h4>Level 1: The Opening Program</h4>\r\n<h5>Is the Level 1 Opening Program Right for You—right now?</h5>\r\nThe Opening Program helps women create fulfilling, self-authored lives. Women who are drawn to our deep transformative programs recognize that investing in their own development is a powerful way to increase satisfaction and effectiveness in their personal and professional lives, in addition to the positive impact they have on others and the world.\r\n\r\nAs the Mysterial pattern of consciousness starts to come alive in women today, it is naturally disrupting their familiar physical, emotional, mental and spiritual ways of being and doing in the world. When we reach the limits of a way of being or worldview that is no longer a match for the demands of our lives, it starts to get very uncomfortable. That is the signal that growth is required. Discovering that the turmoil in our lives today could be the result of the evolutionary urge toward a more complex ‘inner operating system’, instead of signs of failure, is often a deep relief for women.\r\n\r\nSee if you recognize any of these signs of Mysterial Emergence that could indicate your readiness for The Opening Program:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>You’re burnt out from a life that’s eighty percent doing and only twenty percent being—and you can’t see how to fix this imbalance</li>\r\n	<li>You suspect you’re sabotaging yourself with outdated beliefs and habits that compromise your ability to achieve the results you intend</li>\r\n	<li>You are exhausted and unhappy, feeling like you’ve lost connection to your soul even though you have achieved your career goals and what others see as success.</li>\r\n	<li>You feel a painful gap between who you are on the inside and what you want to express in the world</li>\r\n	<li>You wonder where your playful spirit went and how life became such hard work</li>\r\n	<li>You are longing for a relationship where you can feel met and received for all of who you are</li>\r\n	<li>You are tired of constantly taking care of others, having nothing left at the end of the day to take care of your own needs.</li>\r\n	<li>You long to share your gifts and make a contribution, but you can’t see how to do that</li>\r\n	<li>You feel alone and alienated from the mainstream, unable to find others who share your worldview.</li>\r\n	<li>You have been searching for something, but you just don’t know what. You’ve tried therapy, coaching, spa vacations, and other things, but it still feels like something important is missing</li>\r\n	<li>You feel a need to conceal your emerging sense of a deeper, more meaningful, more mysterious reality underpinning our day-to-day lives.</li>\r\n	<li>You want to be an inspired role model for your daughter/son, and/or leave a legacy for future generations</li>\r\n	<li>There is a constant low level of anxiety or depression present that doesn’t go away even when things are going well.</li>\r\n	<li>You feel overwhelmed by never ending responsibilites and wonderhow you will survive, let alone thrive</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h5>Are you an emerging Mysterial Woman?</h5>\r\nIf you feel resonance with any of the statements above, contact us to find out about our complimentary in-person and virtual Information Sessions. {Link to Home Page Info Session box or Info@koreevolution.com?}\r\n\r\nWithin a supportive and catalytic learning community of women, cultivate profound new ways of being that lead to more conscious, connected and creative new ways of doing.\r\n<h4>In The Opening Program you will:</h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Recognize your own life journey within the arc of an historic unfolding of the human story, enabling you to see how your own becoming will help shape these rapidly evolving times for future generations</li>\r\n	<li>Cultivate the deep ground of your Feminine Being as a powerful vessel that can hold the fire and intensity you must channel to sustainably bring your gifts into the world</li>\r\n	<li>Excavate unconscious sabotaging beliefs that have held you hostage for a lifetime, replacing them with conscious beliefs that liberate your full potential for living, loving, and leading</li>\r\n	<li>Learn the keys to a dynamic mutuality that enables ease and skillfulness in your relationships.

Women who have completed our deeply transformative Level 1 program consistently emerge with a grounded glow that is genuine, magnetic and attractive, naturally inviting others into their own authenticity. These women now experience the profound value and power of their deep feminine being, enabling them to more skillfully engage their masculine strength to act in alignment with their deepest intentions.\r\n\r\n“I entered the Kore Level 1 Program with the intent to regain my core, my center, myself. I had a powerful desire for change in my life, but wasn’t sure what that change would look like. What I received from this program was more than I imagined. Instead of regaining myself, I found myself. The program gave me life-long skills and practices that ensure I will continue to learn and grow as a person, in my relationships with others, and in my work.”\r\n\r\nJanet K. Oslund, Program Manager\r\n\r\nPlanning and Development, City of Seattle\r\n\r\n“As a result of my experience in the Kore Level 1 program I discovered that I had been neglecting parts of my life and self that I wasn\'t even aware needed tending. Through the practices I learned, interactions with the other women in my group, and the depth of the program, I began to address these parts. As a result, I now have access to deeper aspects of myself, sending me on a journey to bring richness to my life both personally and professionally. The Level 1 program also gave me the tools to deal with stressful situations and conflict in a much healthier and productive manner than I did before. Overall, I feel more optimistic and open to what lies ahead!”\r\n\r\nArlene Fairfield, Principal, Global Change Network\r\n\r\n“My experience in the Kore Level 1 program was life-changing. The faculty—and each element of the program—held me in such a way that I was able to uncover, understand, and break free from that which was keeping me from my full potential. I gained the confidence to author my own life and the tools to make it possible. It was truly an amazing journey.”\r\n\r\nDiana Sandoval, MS, Family Coach and Consultant\r\n\r\n“The Kore Level 1 program was a real wake up call for me! It offers an integrated program in a 4 month time frame with a strong supportive network allowing enough time for the transformative process with little time for diversions. Timing was perfect to support my stepping into a new leadership position, with a new way, with a set of leadership practices that continue to support my transition to a management position.”\r\n\r\nLois Wyse, Business Systems Management Candidate,\r\n\r\nThe Boeing Company\r\n\r\n“The benefits and outcomes that I had expected to obtain from completing this program exceeded my wildest expectations. Personally, I engaged in self-discovery that explored deep, uncharted waters; realized breakthroughs via cataclysmic shifts in perceptions and consciousness; felt inspired and ignited by poignant “aha” moments.\r\n\r\nIn this learning community, everything’s a process...meaning you identify your signature leadership presence in the world by deepening your consciousness, challenging your worldviews or mind- set, expanding your leadership skills, and then applying those learnings through experimentation, practice and risk. Transforming... Terrific... Exhilarating... Innovative.”\r\n\r\nDianne Juhl, Depth Psychologist and Social Entrepreneur\r\n\r\n“Take twelve smart, accomplished, ambitious, and loving women who want to be able to bring more of themselves to their personal and professional lives. Put them like chicks in an incubator with four exciting, brilliant, and doting “guides.” Feed with ideas, exercises, personal practices, camaraderie, and sensory experiences for six months. Voila! Through the circle a powerful synergy is created, a shared experience of intense growth...a new understanding of how much we can bring to the world, and practice in actualizing it.\r\n\r\nDo it if you possibly can. Even if you think you can’t, do it anyway!”\r\n\r\nConnie Miller, Communication Consultant and Coach\r\n\r\n“I learned to explore and experiment, to uncover and expand. The prodding and support of the guides and co-adventurers encouraged me to open doors inside myself that had been carefully latched or locked. I have a renewed view of myself as a leader, capable of providing my future work environment with more integrated wisdom and skills. I appreciated the integrated structure of our experiences and learning. I am humbled by my deeper understanding of what is involved in change, and how critical it is in our world.”\r\n\r\nManagement Consultant\r\n\r\n“My personal life was unsatisfying and my professional life was unbearable. Together they were out of balance. I felt I was literally at a breaking point. The program came at just the right time. I was in need of help. I needed to make some major changes if I was to survive. Through it I learned:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>to delegate more/not take everything on myself (i.e. learned to really trust myself to empower other people and let go somewhat).</li>\r\n	<li>to demonstrate appreciation of my employees (recognition, thank you’s, etc.).</li>\r\n	<li>to get out of my head, to pay attention to my body as well; I am much healthier now.”</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nCorporate Manager\r\n\r\nThe Opening Program Details (H4)\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Mysterial Leadership assessment interview (by Skype or telephone)</li>\r\n	<li>A five-day, four-night residential Opening Retreat</li>\r\n	<li>A one-day virtual Mid-Program retreat carried out in real time with the faculty and learning cohort</li>\r\n	<li>A four-day, three-night residential Closing Retreat</li>\r\n	<li>Online interaction in a skillfully facilitated, dynamic and visually appealing learning environment</li>\r\n	<li>Daily practices (mind, heart, body and soul) to help the student cultivate her Mysterial way of being in the world</li>\r\n	<li>Six 90 minute individual coaching sessions (by Skype or telephone) with a faculty member who will facilitate a student’s growth throughout the program</li>\r\n	<li>Exploration with a faculty member of your Enneagram personality type</li>\r\n	<li>One coaching session on the students’ results for the Mature Adult Profile (MAP), a rigorously tested sentence completion instrument that accurately measures ego stage development</li>\r\n	<li>Reflective fieldwork and capacity building exercises between coaching sessions</li>\r\n	<li>A culminating group service project in which the student applies what she is learning within a group context that makes a meaningful contribution</li>\r\n	<li>Between-session weekly sharing with a Learning Partner to help the student apply what she is learning in the context of a one-on-one relationship</li>\r\n	<li>Two community-building teleconference calls.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h5>The Opening Program Tuition</h5>\r\nThe program tuition, including all materials, is $8,500 for self-sponsored participants or $9,750 for corporate-sponsored participants.

Discovering that the turmoil in our lives today could be the result of the evolutionary urge toward a more complex ‘inner operating system’, instead of signs of failure, is often a deep relief for women.\r\n\r\nSee if you recognize any of these signs of Mysterial Emergence that could indicate your readiness for The Opening Program:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>You’re burnt out from a life that’s eighty percent doing and only twenty percent being—and you can’t see how to fix this imbalance</li>\r\n	<li>You suspect you’re sabotaging yourself with outdated beliefs and habits that compromise your ability to achieve the results you intend</li>\r\n	<li>You are exhausted and unhappy, feeling like you’ve lost connection to your soul even though you have achieved your career goals and what others see as success.</li>\r\n	<li>You feel a painful gap between who you are on the inside and what you want to express in the world</li>\r\n	<li>You wonder where your playful spirit went and how life became such hard work</li>\r\n	<li>You are longing for a relationship where you can feel met and received for all of who you are</li>\r\n	<li>You are tired of constantly taking care of others, having nothing left at the end of the day to take care of your own needs.</li>\r\n	<li>You long to share your gifts and make a contribution, but you can’t see how to do that</li>\r\n	<li>You feel alone and alienated from the mainstream, unable to find others who share your worldview.</li>\r\n	<li>You have been searching for something, but you just don’t know what.

Women who have completed our deeply transformative Level 1 program consistently emerge with a grounded glow that is genuine, magnetic and attractive, naturally inviting others into their own authenticity. These women now experience the profound value and power of their deep feminine being, enabling them to more skillfully engage their masculine strength to act in alignment with their deepest intentions.\r\n\r\n“I entered the Kore Level 1 Program with the intent to regain my core, my center, myself. I had a powerful desire for change in my life, but wasn’t sure what that change would look like. What I received from this program was more than I imagined. Instead of regaining myself, I found myself. The program gave me life-long skills and practices that ensure I will continue to learn and grow as a person, in my relationships with others, and in my work.”\r\n\r\nJanet K. Oslund, Program Manager\r\n\r\nPlanning and Development, City of Seattle\r\n\r\n“As a result of my experience in the Kore Level 1 program I discovered that I had been neglecting parts of my life and self that I wasn\'t even aware needed tending. Through the practices I learned, interactions with the other women in my group, and the depth of the program, I began to address these parts. As a result, I now have access to deeper aspects of myself, sending me on a journey to bring richness to my life both personally and professionally. The Level 1 program also gave me the tools to deal with stressful situations and conflict in a much healthier and productive manner than I did before. Overall, I feel more optimistic and open to what lies ahead!”\r\n\r\nArlene Fairfield, Principal, Global Change Network\r\n\r\n“My experience in the Kore Level 1 program was life-changing. The faculty—and each element of the program—held me in such a way that I was able to uncover, understand, and break free from that which was keeping me from my full potential. I gained the confidence to author my own life and the tools to make it possible. It was truly an amazing journey.”\r\n\r\nDiana Sandoval, MS, Family Coach and Consultant\r\n\r\n“The Kore Level 1 program was a real wake up call for me! It offers an integrated program in a 4 month time frame with a strong supportive network allowing enough time for the transformative process with little time for diversions. Timing was perfect to support my stepping into a new leadership position, with a new way, with a set of leadership practices that continue to support my transition to a management position.”\r\n\r\nLois Wyse, Business Systems Management Candidate,\r\n\r\nThe Boeing Company\r\n\r\n“The benefits and outcomes that I had expected to obtain from completing this program exceeded my wildest expectations. Personally, I engaged in self-discovery that explored deep, uncharted waters; realized breakthroughs via cataclysmic shifts in perceptions and consciousness; felt inspired and ignited by poignant “aha” moments.\r\n\r\nIn this learning community, everything’s a process...meaning you identify your signature leadership presence in the world by deepening your consciousness, challenging your worldviews or mind- set, expanding your leadership skills, and then applying those learnings through experimentation, practice and risk. Transforming... Terrific... Exhilarating... Innovative.”\r\n\r\nDianne Juhl, Depth Psychologist and Social Entrepreneur\r\n\r\n“Take twelve smart, accomplished, ambitious, and loving women who want to be able to bring more of themselves to their personal and professional lives.

Through the circle a powerful synergy is created, a shared experience of intense growth...a new understanding of how much we can bring to the world, and practice in actualizing it.\r\n\r\nDo it if you possibly can. Even if you think you can’t, do it anyway!”\r\n\r\nConnie Miller, Communication Consultant and Coach\r\n\r\n“I learned to explore and experiment, to uncover and expand. The prodding and support of the guides and co-adventurers encouraged me to open doors inside myself that had been carefully latched or locked. I have a renewed view of myself as a leader, capable of providing my future work environment with more integrated wisdom and skills. I appreciated the integrated structure of our experiences and learning. I am humbled by my deeper understanding of what is involved in change, and how critical it is in our world.”\r\n\r\nManagement Consultant\r\n\r\n“My personal life was unsatisfying and my professional life was unbearable. Together they were out of balance. I felt I was literally at a breaking point. The program came at just the right time. I was in need of help. I needed to make some major changes if I was to survive.

Do you sense that life keeps speeding up and you just can’t run any faster? Do you long to make this world a better place, but don’t see how? Do you feel that your life is too much doing and too little being? Do you struggle to offer what you value the most—your empathy, your intuition, your openness—to a world that favors impersonal, rational, decisive ways of acting?</h5>\r\nYou’re not alone. As we venture into this complex new century, more and more people—women and men—are realizing that longstanding ways of acting and being are no longer working, for individuals, communities, or the earth.\r\n\r\nOur world is increasingly interconnected, fast-paced, unpredictable, and complex. In recent years, its spectacular challenges and opportunities have brought us to the limit of our current paradigm of leadership—one that was a match for the times in which it emerged—but is proving insufficient for today.\r\n\r\nThis milieu is calling forth a whole new way of leading, one that is truly a match for the 21st century. And we began to observe, in graduates of our full Certification program, exactly this happening - radically new ways of living, loving and leading consistently emerging. We felt a strong need to name this new paradigm of leadership so that it could provide an inspiring image of the future for other women.\r\n<h4>We call this way of being Mysterial leadership™.</h4>\r\nThe word “Mysterial” derives from two characteristics that we observed distinguish a 21st century new paradigm woman leader from her 20th century counterpart:\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>Ease with the unknown, chaotic, and ambiguous – with the <em>Mystery</em>, and</li>\r\n	<li><em>Medial</em> with its two meanings - a psychological term denoting the capacity in a woman’s psyche that is able to bridge between radical differences, including masculine-feminine, dark- light, simple-complex, east-west, rational-intuitive, conscious-unconscious, pragmatic- visionary, and so forth. Medial also means an ability to manage reactivity and find the middle way in challenging situations.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h4>An Expanded Definition of Leadership</h4>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-440\" title=\"LLL circles\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white.jpg\" alt=\"Living Loving Leading Circles\" width=\"273\" height=\"274\" /></a>Many women today do not see themselves as leaders, even though they have significant influence within their worlds. This is especially true of women who are not in positions of traditional authority. Kore Evolution more expansively defines leadership as a way of being and doing that includes and yet transcends the focus on roles, power, competition, and control associated with traditional leadership paradigms.\r\n\r\nWhen a woman begins to embody a Mysterial way of being, it is natural for her to bring her innate gifts and passions to the world. She becomes an influencer through her presence and her creative, well-timed actions – a Mysterial leader.\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs-leadership/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>read more...</em></a>\r\n<h4>An Inner Upgrade</h4>\r\nMany women leaders today are feeling a fierce urgency to up-level their own leadership<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-500\" title=\"WOB diamond.005\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005-300x294.jpg\" alt=\"Way of Being and Behaviors Diamond\" width=\"300\" height=\"294\" /></a> capacity and unique expression. This includes wanting access to not only their masculine skills to make things happen, in a linear way, with focused goals for unlimited growth, within a command and control structure; but also the complex feminine capacities for emotional/social intelligence, intuition, collaboration and caring, divergent thinking, and a sustainable and generative understanding of cycles, among other things.\r\n\r\nImportantly, women want a new paradigm of leadership that not only draws on more of their innate strengths (that the world needs now), but is also more satisfying and meaningful.<a id=\"urbanmystery\" name=\"urbanmystery\"></a>\r\n<h4>For women to up-level to a new paradigm of leadership that is truly a match for the 21st century, they require a leadership development approach based on <em>how women actually develop</em>.</h4>\r\n<h2>Our Urban Mystery School</h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-503\" title=\"Space Reaches From Us[1]\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" /></a>We create conditions in which women can open to the unfolding mystery of their innate potential and develop the leadership capacities needed to creatively and effectively engage in the world.\r\n<h4>The Woman’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™</h4>\r\n<strong>The Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification was created to be the most comprehensive, in-depth, ground-breaking, and future-sensing leadership development program in the world based on how women actually develop.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt is intended to prepare women to expand their leadership influence and impact in a rapidly evolving, massively globalizing environment by skillfully accessing all of their innate potential as women, benefiting themselves, others, their organizations and beyond.\r\n\r\nIn alliance with <a href=\"http://www.saybrook.edu/lios\" target=\"_blank\">LIOS Graduate College of Leadership at Saybrook University</a>, our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification pairs an academically sound, rigorous, research-based curriculum with the ageless wisdom traditions, arts, and deep practice of an urban mystery school.\r\n\r\nIt is delivered in two distinct stages: The 4.5 month <strong>Level 1 Opening Program</strong>, delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. For women who desire higher levels of leadership and societal contribution, the more extensive 9-month <strong>Level 2 Emergence Program builds</strong> upon the Level 1 program to continue the learning experience and complete the Mysterial Leadership Certification process.\r\n\r\nThe comprehensive Mysterial Leadership Certification was designed by the Kore Evolution partners, drawing on 12 years of intensive research, on-the-ground experience, and the expertise of tested and trusted faculty members who have been dedicated to this important work for many years.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Leadership Certification is revolutionary, based on a coherent distillation of academically accepted bio-psycho-social-energetic frameworks of human and cultural development. Since 2000, it has been tested and refined with women of diverse ages, temperaments, competencies, backgrounds, and styles and at all levels within their organizations.\r\n<h5>Mysterial Leadership Certification Builds the Foundation for Leadership Growth</h5>\r\nMany leadership development programs focus only at the skill, knowledge, and expertise-<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-505\" title=\"Enso 3 Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med-247x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"300\" /></a>building level. To build the leadership capacities necessary to address the challenges of the 21stcentury, we must first upgrade the ‘Way of Being’ from which these behaviors and skills emerge.\r\n\r\nThrough our Level 1 and Level 2 programs, we systematically build a foundation, or a “source code,” that creates a solid, sustainable way of being upon which desired leadership behaviors can be sustainably built.\r\n\r\nWith the cultivation of a Mysterial Way of Being, a woman naturally expresses more skillful and effective leadership behaviors and increases her overall ability to develop her knowledge, skills, and expertise. Our graduates consistently make more valued and exceptional contributions in their workplaces, families, and communities, and report being more fulfilled in their work and their lives in general. This kind of leadership development can be seen as a true investment for the future, one that will continue to pay dividends.\r\n<h4>Our Transformative Technology: The Mysterial Sequence™</h4>\r\n<strong>By focusing on how women learn and grow, and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we learned what it takes to unlock a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results. </strong>\r\n\r\nThrough our in-depth work with many cohorts of students we decoded a developmental process, designed specifically for women, that consists of five distinct and sequential steps.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Sequence is an elegant developmental process that clears and cultivates all of our Yin and Yang essences, providing the “critical path” to a sustainable inner upgrade. Like a plant that unfolds from seed, to shoot, to leaves and flowers, a woman develops in an organic process that unfolds in identifiable stages, each more complex than the next. These stages build upon one another and none can be skipped.\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs-technology/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>read more...</em></a>\r\n<h2>Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification Programs</h2>\r\n<h4><a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-508\" title=\"Always Now II Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>General Program Structure</h4>\r\n<h5>Pre Program Assessment</h5>\r\nPrior to the start of our programs, each individual participates in a rigorous and comprehensive integral assessment with a faculty member. This establishes a baseline from which we can specifically coach and systematically track students’ leadership development progress and outcomes.\r\n<h5>Program Structure</h5>\r\nEach program begins with a five-day residential Opening Retreat—a rich and deeply engaging experience that establishes a catalytic learning community and lays the groundwork for individualized coaching with faculty. Additionally, women are introduced to their facilitated online learning classroom in which they will engage with other cohort members throughout the program. We meet again during the program mid-point, either virtually or in another residential retreat. Both programs conclude with a residential Closing Retreat. In order to be certified, students must complete and present their culminating group leadership service project at the Closing Retreat. This project is an opportunity for the students to apply their own emerging leadership skills in collaboration with others, while making a contribution to the awakening and development of girls and women.\r\n\r\nResidential retreats are currently held at <a href=\"http://harmonyhill.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Harmony Hill Retreat Center</a> overlooking the beautiful Hood Canal and Olympic mountain range on Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula. The closest airport is Seattle-Tacoma International. Harmony Hill offers first-class, green-built accommodations, beautiful grounds, delicious wholesome food, and an inspiring container for our transformative work.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\" target=\"_blank\">Level 1: The Opening Program</a></h4>\r\nThis 4.5 month residential + online university-certificate course and learning community is currently led by Kore founders and core faculty. It delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. This program redresses critical aspects of women’s feminine nature that have been rejected or become dormant, underutilized, or distorted. This is necessary to create a healthy, sustainable balance with the masculine capacities that the contemporary workplace requires of them, such that they are more productive, creative, inspired, and satisfied in their careers. The Opening Program is designed to stand alone, and women earn a university certificate for completion. It is a requirement for the Level 2 program.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 2: The Emergence Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-2-the-emergence-program/\">Level 2: The Emergence Program</a></h4>\r\nThis 9 month alchemical residential + online university certificate course and learning community is led by Kore founders and core faculty. In combination with Level 1, this program completes the inner upgrade and the full range of Mysterial Leadership capacities naturally comes online. The Level 2 outcomes build upon the achievements of Level 1, generating a “higher octave” of consciousness, connectedness and creative contribution.<a id=\"certification\" name=\"certification\"></a>\r\n<h4>How Our Certification Differs from Other Leadership Courses</h4>\r\n<strong>Recognizing that most leadership programs are based on masculine models of leadership, we created our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification to address the unique ways that women develop as leaders. By focusing on how women learn and grow and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we designed a program that unlocks a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results.</strong>\r\n\r\nWomen’s Mysterial Leadership Certification awakens women’s untapped leadership potential by weaving together the following unique elements:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Transformative/developmental. </span>Many leadership programs focus on learning new theories or acquiring new skills. Our Certification not only offers leading-edge theories and new behavioral tools, it also enables a fundamental transformation of outdated patterns in in the way a woman lives, loves and leads. It helps students to awaken to their full value as women and express that value freely and authentically.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Integral. </span>Drawing upon the extensive work of Ken Wilber, Robert Kegan, Otto Scharmer, Susanne Cook-Greuter, and other leading theorists, our comprehensive approach integrates a diversity of systems, academic disciplines, and forms of knowledge—from the wisdom of ancient shamans and sages to today’s breakthroughs in cognitive science—into a handful of essential elements that are key to facilitating human development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Accelerated. </span>Although radical transformation doesn’t happen in a single weekend, or even a few weeks, it doesn’t need to take years. Our Mysterial Sequence™ provides the most efficient, critical path through the essential work needed to develop a woman leader. Individualized coaching, a rigorously researched program curriculum, and the catalytic nature of a learning community combine together into an alchemical force. We developed our 4.5 and 9 month curriculums to accelerate true transformation without sacrificing artistry, enjoyment, academic excellence, or deep connection.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Theory- and Research-Based. </span>We combine stimulating theories from innovative thought leaders with our extensive experience and research in women’s growth and leadership development. We systematically review how women in our programs are transforming and update our curriculum accordingly. This rigorous, experiential curriculum has qualified our curriculum for over a decade as a university-certificate program.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Embodied.</span>It is vital that women today build a dynamic relationship with the full spectrum of their being, so that they are able to embody and express their unique essence. We teach women to access ways of knowing that engage all three centers of intelligence—thinking (head), feeling (heart), and sensing (body)—so that they can bring a holistic understanding to complex issues.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Individually Tailored. </span>Participants work intimately throughout each program with a certified coach trained in our Mysterial methodology. Using a comprehensive integral assessment process, the coach will skillfully customize the program to support the student’s unique development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Supportive and Catalytic. </span>Our certification provides a dynamic learning community to initiate and support personal transformation. The cohort offers a powerful community of practice experience of being in trusting, supportive relationships with other women.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Beautiful and Imaginative. </span>We actively engage women’s sensing and feeling natures by designing our instructional materials and working environments to be beautiful, inspiring, and delightful. Using stimulating right-brain processes and practices, we invite imagination to awaken women to their deepest feminine being.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Substantive and Highly Skilled Faculty. </span>Our dedicated and well-trained faculty fully embody the Mysterial Way of Being, facilitating our programs with multi-faceted skill, deep heart, and a sense of playful possibilities.\r\n<h5>We invite you to join us in this emerging movement of Mysterial Women, r-evolutionizing the way women live, love, and lead.</h5>\r\nTo learn more about the level 1 program, <a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\"><em>click here</em></a>\r\n\r\nTo find out about our upcoming complimentary information sessions, click here\r\n\r\nFor other questions, please contact us below.\r\n<h5>Sample H5 Heading</h5>\r\n<h6>Sample H6 Heading</h6>','Programs','','inherit','open','open','','22-revision-91','','','2012-09-30 19:01:05','2012-09-30 19:01:05','',22,'http://koreevolution.com/test/22-revision-91/',0,'revision','',0),(569,1,'2012-09-30 20:18:37','2012-09-30 20:18:37','<h1><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-535\" title=\"programs2-header\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/programs2-header.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"705\" height=\"179\" />\nOUR PROGRAMS AND APPROACH</h1>\n<h4>An Expanded Definition of Leadership </h4>\nAs the world becomes more interconnected and interdependent, the boundaries between the various domains of our personal and professional lives—between Living, Loving, and Leading — also dissolve.

Do you sense that life keeps speeding up and you just can’t run any faster? Do you long to make this world a better place, but don’t see how? Do you feel that your life is too much doing and too little being? Do you struggle to offer what you value the most—your empathy, your intuition, your openness—to a world that favors impersonal, rational, decisive ways of acting?</h5>\r\nYou’re not alone. As we venture into this complex new century, more and more people—women and men—are realizing that longstanding ways of acting and being are no longer working, for individuals, communities, or the earth.\r\n\r\nOur world is increasingly interconnected, fast-paced, unpredictable, and complex. In recent years, its spectacular challenges and opportunities have brought us to the limit of our current paradigm of leadership—one that was a match for the times in which it emerged—but is proving insufficient for today.\r\n\r\nThis milieu is calling forth a whole new way of leading, one that is truly a match for the 21st century. And we began to observe, in graduates of our full Certification program, exactly this happening - radically new ways of living, loving and leading consistently emerging. We felt a strong need to name this new paradigm of leadership so that it could provide an inspiring image of the future for other women.\r\n<h4>We call this way of being Mysterial leadership™.</h4>\r\nThe word “Mysterial” derives from two characteristics that we observed distinguish a 21st century new paradigm woman leader from her 20th century counterpart:\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>Ease with the unknown, chaotic, and ambiguous – with the <em>Mystery</em>, and</li>\r\n	<li><em>Medial</em> with its two meanings - a psychological term denoting the capacity in a woman’s psyche that is able to bridge between radical differences, including masculine-feminine, dark- light, simple-complex, east-west, rational-intuitive, conscious-unconscious, pragmatic- visionary, and so forth. Medial also means an ability to manage reactivity and find the middle way in challenging situations.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h4>An Expanded Definition of Leadership</h4>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-440\" title=\"LLL circles\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white.jpg\" alt=\"Living Loving Leading Circles\" width=\"273\" height=\"274\" /></a>Many women today do not see themselves as leaders, even though they have significant influence within their worlds. This is especially true of women who are not in positions of traditional authority. Kore Evolution more expansively defines leadership as a way of being and doing that includes and yet transcends the focus on roles, power, competition, and control associated with traditional leadership paradigms.\r\n\r\nWhen a woman begins to embody a Mysterial way of being, it is natural for her to bring her innate gifts and passions to the world. She becomes an influencer through her presence and her creative, well-timed actions – a Mysterial leader.\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs-leadership/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>read more...</em></a>\r\n<h4>An Inner Upgrade</h4>\r\nMany women leaders today are feeling a fierce urgency to up-level their own leadership<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-500\" title=\"WOB diamond.005\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005-300x294.jpg\" alt=\"Way of Being and Behaviors Diamond\" width=\"300\" height=\"294\" /></a> capacity and unique expression. This includes wanting access to not only their masculine skills to make things happen, in a linear way, with focused goals for unlimited growth, within a command and control structure; but also the complex feminine capacities for emotional/social intelligence, intuition, collaboration and caring, divergent thinking, and a sustainable and generative understanding of cycles, among other things.\r\n\r\nImportantly, women want a new paradigm of leadership that not only draws on more of their innate strengths (that the world needs now), but is also more satisfying and meaningful.<a id=\"urbanmystery\" name=\"urbanmystery\"></a>\r\n<h4>For women to up-level to a new paradigm of leadership that is truly a match for the 21st century, they require a leadership development approach based on <em>how women actually develop</em>.</h4>\r\n<h2>Our Urban Mystery School</h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-503\" title=\"Space Reaches From Us[1]\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" /></a>We create conditions in which women can open to the unfolding mystery of their innate potential and develop the leadership capacities needed to creatively and effectively engage in the world.\r\n<h4>The Woman’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™</h4>\r\n<strong>The Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification was created to be the most comprehensive, in-depth, ground-breaking, and future-sensing leadership development program in the world based on how women actually develop.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt is intended to prepare women to expand their leadership influence and impact in a rapidly evolving, massively globalizing environment by skillfully accessing all of their innate potential as women, benefiting themselves, others, their organizations and beyond.\r\n\r\nIn alliance with <a href=\"http://www.saybrook.edu/lios\" target=\"_blank\">LIOS Graduate College of Leadership at Saybrook University</a>, our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification pairs an academically sound, rigorous, research-based curriculum with the ageless wisdom traditions, arts, and deep practice of an urban mystery school.\r\n\r\nIt is delivered in two distinct stages: The 4.5 month <strong>Level 1 Opening Program</strong>, delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. For women who desire higher levels of leadership and societal contribution, the more extensive 9-month <strong>Level 2 Emergence Program builds</strong> upon the Level 1 program to continue the learning experience and complete the Mysterial Leadership Certification process.\r\n\r\nThe comprehensive Mysterial Leadership Certification was designed by the Kore Evolution partners, drawing on 12 years of intensive research, on-the-ground experience, and the expertise of tested and trusted faculty members who have been dedicated to this important work for many years.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Leadership Certification is revolutionary, based on a coherent distillation of academically accepted bio-psycho-social-energetic frameworks of human and cultural development. Since 2000, it has been tested and refined with women of diverse ages, temperaments, competencies, backgrounds, and styles and at all levels within their organizations.\r\n<h5>Mysterial Leadership Certification Builds the Foundation for Leadership Growth</h5>\r\nMany leadership development programs focus only at the skill, knowledge, and expertise-<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-505\" title=\"Enso 3 Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med-247x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"300\" /></a>building level. To build the leadership capacities necessary to address the challenges of the 21stcentury, we must first upgrade the ‘Way of Being’ from which these behaviors and skills emerge.\r\n\r\nThrough our Level 1 and Level 2 programs, we systematically build a foundation, or a “source code,” that creates a solid, sustainable way of being upon which desired leadership behaviors can be sustainably built.\r\n\r\nWith the cultivation of a Mysterial Way of Being, a woman naturally expresses more skillful and effective leadership behaviors and increases her overall ability to develop her knowledge, skills, and expertise. Our graduates consistently make more valued and exceptional contributions in their workplaces, families, and communities, and report being more fulfilled in their work and their lives in general. This kind of leadership development can be seen as a true investment for the future, one that will continue to pay dividends.\r\n<h4>Our Transformative Technology: The Mysterial Sequence™</h4>\r\n<strong>By focusing on how women learn and grow, and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we learned what it takes to unlock a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results. </strong>\r\n\r\nThrough our in-depth work with many cohorts of students we decoded a developmental process, designed specifically for women, that consists of five distinct and sequential steps.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Sequence is an elegant developmental process that clears and cultivates all of our Yin and Yang essences, providing the “critical path” to a sustainable inner upgrade. Like a plant that unfolds from seed, to shoot, to leaves and flowers, a woman develops in an organic process that unfolds in identifiable stages, each more complex than the next. These stages build upon one another and none can be skipped.\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs-technology/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>read more...</em></a>\r\n<h2>Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification Programs</h2>\r\n<h4><a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-508\" title=\"Always Now II Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>General Program Structure</h4>\r\n<h5>Pre Program Assessment</h5>\r\nPrior to the start of our programs, each individual participates in a rigorous and comprehensive integral assessment with a faculty member. This establishes a baseline from which we can specifically coach and systematically track students’ leadership development progress and outcomes.\r\n<h5>Program Structure</h5>\r\nEach program begins with a five-day residential Opening Retreat—a rich and deeply engaging experience that establishes a catalytic learning community and lays the groundwork for individualized coaching with faculty. Additionally, women are introduced to their facilitated online learning classroom in which they will engage with other cohort members throughout the program. We meet again during the program mid-point, either virtually or in another residential retreat. Both programs conclude with a residential Closing Retreat. In order to be certified, students must complete and present their culminating group leadership service project at the Closing Retreat. This project is an opportunity for the students to apply their own emerging leadership skills in collaboration with others, while making a contribution to the awakening and development of girls and women.\r\n\r\nResidential retreats are currently held at <a href=\"http://harmonyhill.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Harmony Hill Retreat Center</a> overlooking the beautiful Hood Canal and Olympic mountain range on Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula.

It delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. This program redresses critical aspects of women’s feminine nature that have been rejected or become dormant, underutilized, or distorted. This is necessary to create a healthy, sustainable balance with the masculine capacities that the contemporary workplace requires of them, such that they are more productive, creative, inspired, and satisfied in their careers. The Opening Program is designed to stand alone, and women earn a university certificate for completion. It is a requirement for the Level 2 program.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 2: The Emergence Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-2-the-emergence-program/\">Level 2: The Emergence Program</a></h4>\r\nThis 9 month alchemical residential + online university certificate course and learning community is led by Kore founders and core faculty.

By focusing on how women learn and grow and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we designed a program that unlocks a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results.</strong>\r\n\r\nWomen’s Mysterial Leadership Certification awakens women’s untapped leadership potential by weaving together the following unique elements:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Transformative/developmental. </span>Many leadership programs focus on learning new theories or acquiring new skills. Our Certification not only offers leading-edge theories and new behavioral tools, it also enables a fundamental transformation of outdated patterns in in the way a woman lives, loves and leads. It helps students to awaken to their full value as women and express that value freely and authentically.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Integral. </span>Drawing upon the extensive work of Ken Wilber, Robert Kegan, Otto Scharmer, Susanne Cook-Greuter, and other leading theorists, our comprehensive approach integrates a diversity of systems, academic disciplines, and forms of knowledge—from the wisdom of ancient shamans and sages to today’s breakthroughs in cognitive science—into a handful of essential elements that are key to facilitating human development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Accelerated. </span>Although radical transformation doesn’t happen in a single weekend, or even a few weeks, it doesn’t need to take years. Our Mysterial Sequence™ provides the most efficient, critical path through the essential work needed to develop a woman leader. Individualized coaching, a rigorously researched program curriculum, and the catalytic nature of a learning community combine together into an alchemical force. We developed our 4.5 and 9 month curriculums to accelerate true transformation without sacrificing artistry, enjoyment, academic excellence, or deep connection.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Theory- and Research-Based. </span>We combine stimulating theories from innovative thought leaders with our extensive experience and research in women’s growth and leadership development. We systematically review how women in our programs are transforming and update our curriculum accordingly. This rigorous, experiential curriculum has qualified our curriculum for over a decade as a university-certificate program.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Embodied.</span>It is vital that women today build a dynamic relationship with the full spectrum of their being, so that they are able to embody and express their unique essence. We teach women to access ways of knowing that engage all three centers of intelligence—thinking (head), feeling (heart), and sensing (body)—so that they can bring a holistic understanding to complex issues.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Individually Tailored. </span>Participants work intimately throughout each program with a certified coach trained in our Mysterial methodology. Using a comprehensive integral assessment process, the coach will skillfully customize the program to support the student’s unique development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Supportive and Catalytic. </span>Our certification provides a dynamic learning community to initiate and support personal transformation. The cohort offers a powerful community of practice experience of being in trusting, supportive relationships with other women.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Beautiful and Imaginative. </span>We actively engage women’s sensing and feeling natures by designing our instructional materials and working environments to be beautiful, inspiring, and delightful. Using stimulating right-brain processes and practices, we invite imagination to awaken women to their deepest feminine being.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Substantive and Highly Skilled Faculty. </span>Our dedicated and well-trained faculty fully embody the Mysterial Way of Being, facilitating our programs with multi-faceted skill, deep heart, and a sense of playful possibilities.\r\n<h5>We invite you to join us in this emerging movement of Mysterial Women, r-evolutionizing the way women live, love, and lead.</h5>\r\nTo learn more about the level 1 program, <a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\"><em>click here</em></a>\r\n\r\nTo find out about our upcoming complimentary information sessions, click here\r\n\r\nFor other questions, please contact us below.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Programs','','inherit','open','open','','22-revision-92','','','2012-09-30 19:55:50','2012-09-30 19:55:50','',22,'http://koreevolution.com/test/22-revision-92/',0,'revision','',0),(588,1,'2012-09-30 23:41:18','2012-09-30 23:41:18','','Dakini gold icon large square bkgrnd','','inherit','open','open','','dakini-gold-icon-large-square-bkgrnd','','','2012-09-30 23:41:18','2012-09-30 23:41:18','',22,'http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Dakini-gold-icon-large-square-bkgrnd.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(589,1,'2012-09-30 23:36:27','2012-09-30 23:36:27','<h1><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-521\" title=\"programs-header\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/programs-header.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"705\" height=\"211\" />\r\nOUR PROGRAMS AND APPROACH</h1>\r\n<h2>Why Mysterial Leadership, Why Now</h2>\r\n<h5>Ever wonder if the success you’ve worked so hard for has been worth the price? Do you sense that life keeps speeding up and you just can’t run any faster? Do you long to make this world a better place, but don’t see how? Do you feel that your life is too much doing and too little being? Do you struggle to offer what you value the most—your empathy, your intuition, your openness—to a world that favors impersonal, rational, decisive ways of acting?</h5>\r\nYou’re not alone. As we venture into this complex new century, more and more people—women and men—are realizing that longstanding ways of acting and being are no longer working, for individuals, communities, or the earth.\r\n\r\nOur world is increasingly interconnected, fast-paced, unpredictable, and complex. In recent years, its spectacular challenges and opportunities have brought us to the limit of our current paradigm of leadership—one that was a match for the times in which it emerged—but is proving insufficient for today.\r\n\r\nThis milieu is calling forth a whole new way of leading, one that is truly a match for the 21st century. And we began to observe, in graduates of our full Certification program, exactly this happening - radically new ways of living, loving and leading consistently emerging. We felt a strong need to name this new paradigm of leadership so that it could provide an inspiring image of the future for other women.\r\n<h4>We call this way of being Mysterial leadership™.</h4>\r\nThe word “Mysterial” derives from two characteristics that we observed distinguish a 21st century new paradigm woman leader from her 20th century counterpart:\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>Ease with the unknown, chaotic, and ambiguous – with the <em>Mystery</em>, and</li>\r\n	<li><em>Medial</em> with its two meanings - a psychological term denoting the capacity in a woman’s psyche that is able to bridge between radical differences, including masculine-feminine, dark- light, simple-complex, east-west, rational-intuitive, conscious-unconscious, pragmatic- visionary, and so forth. Medial also means an ability to manage reactivity and find the middle way in challenging situations.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h4>An Expanded Definition of Leadership</h4>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-586\" title=\"LLL circles more white\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" /></a>Many women today do not see themselves as leaders, even though they have significant influence within their worlds. This is especially true of women who are not in positions of traditional authority. Kore Evolution more expansively defines leadership as a way of being and doing that includes and yet transcends the focus on roles, power, competition, and control associated with traditional leadership paradigms.\r\n\r\nWhen a woman begins to embody a Mysterial way of being, it is natural for her to bring her innate gifts and passions to the world. She becomes an influencer through her presence and her creative, well-timed actions – a Mysterial leader.\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs-leadership/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>read more...</em></a>\r\n<h4>An Inner Upgrade</h4>\r\nMany women leaders today are feeling a fierce urgency to up-level their own leadership<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-500\" title=\"WOB diamond.005\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005-300x294.jpg\" alt=\"Way of Being and Behaviors Diamond\" width=\"300\" height=\"294\" /></a> capacity and unique expression.

Do you sense that life keeps speeding up and you just can’t run any faster? Do you long to make this world a better place, but don’t see how? Do you feel that your life is too much doing and too little being? Do you struggle to offer what you value the most—your empathy, your intuition, your openness—to a world that favors impersonal, rational, decisive ways of acting?</h5>\r\nYou’re not alone. As we venture into this complex new century, more and more people—women and men—are realizing that longstanding ways of acting and being are no longer working, for individuals, communities, or the earth.\r\n\r\nOur world is increasingly interconnected, fast-paced, unpredictable, and complex. In recent years, its spectacular challenges and opportunities have brought us to the limit of our current paradigm of leadership—one that was a match for the times in which it emerged—but is proving insufficient for today.\r\n\r\nThis milieu is calling forth a whole new way of leading, one that is truly a match for the 21st century. And we began to observe, in graduates of our full Certification program, exactly this happening - radically new ways of living, loving and leading consistently emerging. We felt a strong need to name this new paradigm of leadership so that it could provide an inspiring image of the future for other women.\r\n<h4>We call this way of being Mysterial leadership™.</h4>\r\nThe word “Mysterial” derives from two characteristics that we observed distinguish a 21st century new paradigm woman leader from her 20th century counterpart:\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>Ease with the unknown, chaotic, and ambiguous – with the <em>Mystery</em>, and</li>\r\n	<li><em>Medial</em> with its two meanings - a psychological term denoting the capacity in a woman’s psyche that is able to bridge between radical differences, including masculine-feminine, dark- light, simple-complex, east-west, rational-intuitive, conscious-unconscious, pragmatic- visionary, and so forth. Medial also means an ability to manage reactivity and find the middle way in challenging situations.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h4>An Expanded Definition of Leadership</h4>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-586\" title=\"LLL circles more white\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" /></a>Many women today do not see themselves as leaders, even though they have significant influence within their worlds. This is especially true of women who are not in positions of traditional authority. Kore Evolution more expansively defines leadership as a way of being and doing that includes and yet transcends the focus on roles, power, competition, and control associated with traditional leadership paradigms.\r\n\r\nWhen a woman begins to embody a Mysterial way of being, it is natural for her to bring her innate gifts and passions to the world. She becomes an influencer through her presence and her creative, well-timed actions – a Mysterial leader.\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs-leadership/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>read more...</em></a>\r\n<h4>An Inner Upgrade</h4>\r\nMany women leaders today are feeling a fierce urgency to up-level their own leadership<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-500\" title=\"WOB diamond.005\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005-300x294.jpg\" alt=\"Way of Being and Behaviors Diamond\" width=\"300\" height=\"294\" /></a> capacity and unique expression. This includes wanting access to not only their masculine skills to make things happen, in a linear way, with focused goals for unlimited growth, within a command and control structure; but also the complex feminine capacities for emotional/social intelligence, intuition, collaboration and caring, divergent thinking, and a sustainable and generative understanding of cycles, among other things.\r\n\r\nImportantly, women want a new paradigm of leadership that not only draws on more of their innate strengths (that the world needs now), but is also more satisfying and meaningful.<a id=\"urbanmystery\" name=\"urbanmystery\"></a>\r\n<h4>For women to up-level to a new paradigm of leadership that is truly a match for the 21st century, they require a leadership development approach based on <em>how women actually develop</em>.</h4>\r\n<h2>Our Urban Mystery School</h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-503\" title=\"Space Reaches From Us[1]\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" /></a>We create conditions in which women can open to the unfolding mystery of their innate potential and develop the leadership capacities needed to creatively and effectively engage in the world.\r\n<h4>The Woman’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™</h4>\r\n<strong>The Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification was created to be the most comprehensive, in-depth, ground-breaking, and future-sensing leadership development program in the world based on how women actually develop.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt is intended to prepare women to expand their leadership influence and impact in a rapidly evolving, massively globalizing environment by skillfully accessing all of their innate potential as women, benefiting themselves, others, their organizations and beyond.\r\n\r\nIn alliance with <a href=\"http://www.saybrook.edu/lios\" target=\"_blank\">LIOS Graduate College of Leadership at Saybrook University</a>, our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification pairs an academically sound, rigorous, research-based curriculum with the ageless wisdom traditions, arts, and deep practice of an urban mystery school.\r\n\r\nIt is delivered in two distinct stages: The 4.5 month <strong>Level 1 Opening Program</strong>, delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. For women who desire higher levels of leadership and societal contribution, the more extensive 9-month <strong>Level 2 Emergence Program builds</strong> upon the Level 1 program to continue the learning experience and complete the Mysterial Leadership Certification process.\r\n\r\nThe comprehensive Mysterial Leadership Certification was designed by the Kore Evolution partners, drawing on 12 years of intensive research, on-the-ground experience, and the expertise of tested and trusted faculty members who have been dedicated to this important work for many years.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Leadership Certification is revolutionary, based on a coherent distillation of academically accepted bio-psycho-social-energetic frameworks of human and cultural development. Since 2000, it has been tested and refined with women of diverse ages, temperaments, competencies, backgrounds, and styles and at all levels within their organizations.\r\n<h5>Mysterial Leadership Certification Builds the Foundation for Leadership Growth</h5>\r\nMany leadership development programs focus only at the skill, knowledge, and expertise-<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-505\" title=\"Enso 3 Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med-247x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"300\" /></a>building level. To build the leadership capacities necessary to address the challenges of the 21stcentury, we must first upgrade the ‘Way of Being’ from which these behaviors and skills emerge.\r\n\r\nThrough our Level 1 and Level 2 programs, we systematically build a foundation, or a “source code,” that creates a solid, sustainable way of being upon which desired leadership behaviors can be sustainably built.\r\n\r\nWith the cultivation of a Mysterial Way of Being, a woman naturally expresses more skillful and effective leadership behaviors and increases her overall ability to develop her knowledge, skills, and expertise. Our graduates consistently make more valued and exceptional contributions in their workplaces, families, and communities, and report being more fulfilled in their work and their lives in general. This kind of leadership development can be seen as a true investment for the future, one that will continue to pay dividends.\r\n<h4>Our Transformative Technology: The Mysterial Sequence™</h4>\r\n<strong>By focusing on how women learn and grow, and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we learned what it takes to unlock a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results. </strong>\r\n\r\nThrough our in-depth work with many cohorts of students we decoded a developmental process, designed specifically for women, that consists of five distinct and sequential steps.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Sequence is an elegant developmental process that clears and cultivates all of our Yin and Yang essences, providing the “critical path” to a sustainable inner upgrade. Like a plant that unfolds from seed, to shoot, to leaves and flowers, a woman develops in an organic process that unfolds in identifiable stages, each more complex than the next. These stages build upon one another and none can be skipped.\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs-technology/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>read more...</em></a>\r\n<h2>Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification Programs</h2>\r\n<h4><a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-508\" title=\"Always Now II Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>General Program Structure</h4>\r\n<h5>Pre Program Assessment</h5>\r\nPrior to the start of our programs, each individual participates in a rigorous and comprehensive integral assessment with a faculty member. This establishes a baseline from which we can specifically coach and systematically track students’ leadership development progress and outcomes.\r\n<h5>Program Structure</h5>\r\nEach program begins with a five-day residential Opening Retreat—a rich and deeply engaging experience that establishes a catalytic learning community and lays the groundwork for individualized coaching with faculty. Additionally, women are introduced to their facilitated online learning classroom in which they will engage with other cohort members throughout the program. We meet again during the program mid-point, either virtually or in another residential retreat. Both programs conclude with a residential Closing Retreat. In order to be certified, students must complete and present their culminating group leadership service project at the Closing Retreat. This project is an opportunity for the students to apply their own emerging leadership skills in collaboration with others, while making a contribution to the awakening and development of girls and women.\r\n\r\nResidential retreats are currently held at <a href=\"http://harmonyhill.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Harmony Hill Retreat Center</a> overlooking the beautiful Hood Canal and Olympic mountain range on Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula. The closest airport is Seattle-Tacoma International. Harmony Hill offers first-class, green-built accommodations, beautiful grounds, delicious wholesome food, and an inspiring container for our transformative work.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\" target=\"_blank\">Level 1: The Opening Program</a></h4>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Dakini-gold-icon-large-square-bkgrnd.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-588\" title=\"Dakini gold icon large square bkgrnd\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Dakini-gold-icon-large-square-bkgrnd-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"A.

It delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. This program redresses critical aspects of women’s feminine nature that have been rejected or become dormant, underutilized, or distorted. This is necessary to create a healthy, sustainable balance with the masculine capacities that the contemporary workplace requires of them, such that they are more productive, creative, inspired, and satisfied in their careers. The Opening Program is designed to stand alone, and women earn a university certificate for completion. It is a requirement for the Level 2 program.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 2: The Emergence Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-2-the-emergence-program/\">Level 2: The Emergence Program</a></h4>\r\nThis 9 month alchemical residential + online university certificate course and learning community is led by Kore founders and core faculty. In combination with Level 1, this program completes the inner upgrade and the full range of Mysterial Leadership capacities naturally comes online. The Level 2 outcomes build upon the achievements of Level 1, generating a “higher octave” of consciousness, connectedness and creative contribution.<a id=\"certification\" name=\"certification\"></a>\r\n<h4>How Our Certification Differs from Other Leadership Courses</h4>\r\n<strong>Recognizing that most leadership programs are based on masculine models of leadership, we created our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification to address the unique ways that women develop as leaders. By focusing on how women learn and grow and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we designed a program that unlocks a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results.</strong>\r\n\r\nWomen’s Mysterial Leadership Certification awakens women’s untapped leadership potential by weaving together the following unique elements:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Transformative/developmental. </span>Many leadership programs focus on learning new theories or acquiring new skills. Our Certification not only offers leading-edge theories and new behavioral tools, it also enables a fundamental transformation of outdated patterns in in the way a woman lives, loves and leads. It helps students to awaken to their full value as women and express that value freely and authentically.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Integral. </span>Drawing upon the extensive work of Ken Wilber, Robert Kegan, Otto Scharmer, Susanne Cook-Greuter, and other leading theorists, our comprehensive approach integrates a diversity of systems, academic disciplines, and forms of knowledge—from the wisdom of ancient shamans and sages to today’s breakthroughs in cognitive science—into a handful of essential elements that are key to facilitating human development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Accelerated. </span>Although radical transformation doesn’t happen in a single weekend, or even a few weeks, it doesn’t need to take years. Our Mysterial Sequence™ provides the most efficient, critical path through the essential work needed to develop a woman leader. Individualized coaching, a rigorously researched program curriculum, and the catalytic nature of a learning community combine together into an alchemical force. We developed our 4.5 and 9 month curriculums to accelerate true transformation without sacrificing artistry, enjoyment, academic excellence, or deep connection.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Theory- and Research-Based. </span>We combine stimulating theories from innovative thought leaders with our extensive experience and research in women’s growth and leadership development. We systematically review how women in our programs are transforming and update our curriculum accordingly. This rigorous, experiential curriculum has qualified our curriculum for over a decade as a university-certificate program.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Embodied.</span>It is vital that women today build a dynamic relationship with the full spectrum of their being, so that they are able to embody and express their unique essence. We teach women to access ways of knowing that engage all three centers of intelligence—thinking (head), feeling (heart), and sensing (body)—so that they can bring a holistic understanding to complex issues.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Individually Tailored. </span>Participants work intimately throughout each program with a certified coach trained in our Mysterial methodology. Using a comprehensive integral assessment process, the coach will skillfully customize the program to support the student’s unique development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Supportive and Catalytic. </span>Our certification provides a dynamic learning community to initiate and support personal transformation. The cohort offers a powerful community of practice experience of being in trusting, supportive relationships with other women.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Beautiful and Imaginative. </span>We actively engage women’s sensing and feeling natures by designing our instructional materials and working environments to be beautiful, inspiring, and delightful.

Do you sense that life keeps speeding up and you just can’t run any faster? Do you long to make this world a better place, but don’t see how? Do you feel that your life is too much doing and too little being? Do you struggle to offer what you value the most—your empathy, your intuition, your openness—to a world that favors impersonal, rational, decisive ways of acting?</h5>\r\nYou’re not alone. As we venture into this complex new century, more and more people—women and men—are realizing that longstanding ways of acting and being are no longer working, for individuals, communities, or the earth.\r\n\r\nOur world is increasingly interconnected, fast-paced, unpredictable, and complex. In recent years, its spectacular challenges and opportunities have brought us to the limit of our current paradigm of leadership—one that was a match for the times in which it emerged—but is proving insufficient for today.\r\n\r\nThis milieu is calling forth a whole new way of leading, one that is truly a match for the 21st century. And we began to observe, in graduates of our full Certification program, exactly this happening - radically new ways of living, loving and leading consistently emerging. We felt a strong need to name this new paradigm of leadership so that it could provide an inspiring image of the future for other women.\r\n<h4>We call this way of being Mysterial leadership™.</h4>\r\nThe word “Mysterial” derives from two characteristics that we observed distinguish a 21st century new paradigm woman leader from her 20th century counterpart:\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>Ease with the unknown, chaotic, and ambiguous – with the <em>Mystery</em>, and</li>\r\n	<li><em>Medial</em> with its two meanings - a psychological term denoting the capacity in a woman’s psyche that is able to bridge between radical differences, including masculine-feminine, dark- light, simple-complex, east-west, rational-intuitive, conscious-unconscious, pragmatic- visionary, and so forth. Medial also means an ability to manage reactivity and find the middle way in challenging situations.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h4>An Expanded Definition of Leadership</h4>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-586\" title=\"LLL circles more white\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" /></a>Many women today do not see themselves as leaders, even though they have significant influence within their worlds. This is especially true of women who are not in positions of traditional authority. Kore Evolution more expansively defines leadership as a way of being and doing that includes and yet transcends the focus on roles, power, competition, and control associated with traditional leadership paradigms.\r\n\r\nWhen a woman begins to embody a Mysterial way of being, it is natural for her to bring her innate gifts and passions to the world. She becomes an influencer through her presence and her creative, well-timed actions – a Mysterial leader.\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs-leadership/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>read more...</em></a>\r\n<h4>An Inner Upgrade</h4>\r\nMany women leaders today are feeling a fierce urgency to up-level their own leadership<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-500\" title=\"WOB diamond.005\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005-300x294.jpg\" alt=\"Way of Being and Behaviors Diamond\" width=\"300\" height=\"294\" /></a> capacity and unique expression. This includes wanting access to not only their masculine skills to make things happen, in a linear way, with focused goals for unlimited growth, within a command and control structure; but also the complex feminine capacities for emotional/social intelligence, intuition, collaboration and caring, divergent thinking, and a sustainable and generative understanding of cycles, among other things.\r\n\r\nImportantly, women want a new paradigm of leadership that not only draws on more of their innate strengths (that the world needs now), but is also more satisfying and meaningful.<a id=\"urbanmystery\" name=\"urbanmystery\"></a>\r\n<h4>For women to up-level to a new paradigm of leadership that is truly a match for the 21st century, they require a leadership development approach based on <em>how women actually develop</em>.</h4>\r\n<h2>Our Urban Mystery School</h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-503\" title=\"Space Reaches From Us[1]\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" /></a>We create conditions in which women can open to the unfolding mystery of their innate potential and develop the leadership capacities needed to creatively and effectively engage in the world.\r\n<h4>The Woman’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™</h4>\r\n<strong>The Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification was created to be the most comprehensive, in-depth, ground-breaking, and future-sensing leadership development program in the world based on how women actually develop.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt is intended to prepare women to expand their leadership influence and impact in a rapidly evolving, massively globalizing environment by skillfully accessing all of their innate potential as women, benefiting themselves, others, their organizations and beyond.\r\n\r\nIn alliance with <a href=\"http://www.saybrook.edu/lios\" target=\"_blank\">LIOS Graduate College of Leadership at Saybrook University</a>, our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification pairs an academically sound, rigorous, research-based curriculum with the ageless wisdom traditions, arts, and deep practice of an urban mystery school.\r\n\r\nIt is delivered in two distinct stages: The 4.5 month <strong>Level 1 Opening Program</strong>, delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. For women who desire higher levels of leadership and societal contribution, the more extensive 9-month <strong>Level 2 Emergence Program builds</strong> upon the Level 1 program to continue the learning experience and complete the Mysterial Leadership Certification process.\r\n\r\nThe comprehensive Mysterial Leadership Certification was designed by the Kore Evolution partners, drawing on 12 years of intensive research, on-the-ground experience, and the expertise of tested and trusted faculty members who have been dedicated to this important work for many years.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Leadership Certification is revolutionary, based on a coherent distillation of academically accepted bio-psycho-social-energetic frameworks of human and cultural development. Since 2000, it has been tested and refined with women of diverse ages, temperaments, competencies, backgrounds, and styles and at all levels within their organizations.\r\n<h5>Mysterial Leadership Certification Builds the Foundation for Leadership Growth</h5>\r\nMany leadership development programs focus only at the skill, knowledge, and expertise-<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-505\" title=\"Enso 3 Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med-247x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"300\" /></a>building level. To build the leadership capacities necessary to address the challenges of the 21stcentury, we must first upgrade the ‘Way of Being’ from which these behaviors and skills emerge.\r\n\r\nThrough our Level 1 and Level 2 programs, we systematically build a foundation, or a “source code,” that creates a solid, sustainable way of being upon which desired leadership behaviors can be sustainably built.\r\n\r\nWith the cultivation of a Mysterial Way of Being, a woman naturally expresses more skillful and effective leadership behaviors and increases her overall ability to develop her knowledge, skills, and expertise. Our graduates consistently make more valued and exceptional contributions in their workplaces, families, and communities, and report being more fulfilled in their work and their lives in general. This kind of leadership development can be seen as a true investment for the future, one that will continue to pay dividends.\r\n<h4>Our Transformative Technology: The Mysterial Sequence™</h4>\r\n<strong>By focusing on how women learn and grow, and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we learned what it takes to unlock a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results. </strong>\r\n\r\nThrough our in-depth work with many cohorts of students we decoded a developmental process, designed specifically for women, that consists of five distinct and sequential steps.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Sequence is an elegant developmental process that clears and cultivates all of our Yin and Yang essences, providing the “critical path” to a sustainable inner upgrade. Like a plant that unfolds from seed, to shoot, to leaves and flowers, a woman develops in an organic process that unfolds in identifiable stages, each more complex than the next. These stages build upon one another and none can be skipped.\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs-technology/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>read more...</em></a>\r\n<h2>Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification Programs</h2>\r\n<h4><a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-508\" title=\"Always Now II Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>General Program Structure</h4>\r\n<h5>Pre Program Assessment</h5>\r\nPrior to the start of our programs, each individual participates in a rigorous and comprehensive integral assessment with a faculty member. This establishes a baseline from which we can specifically coach and systematically track students’ leadership development progress and outcomes.\r\n<h5>Program Structure</h5>\r\nEach program begins with a five-day residential Opening Retreat—a rich and deeply engaging experience that establishes a catalytic learning community and lays the groundwork for individualized coaching with faculty. Additionally, women are introduced to their facilitated online learning classroom in which they will engage with other cohort members throughout the program. We meet again during the program mid-point, either virtually or in another residential retreat. Both programs conclude with a residential Closing Retreat. In order to be certified, students must complete and present their culminating group leadership service project at the Closing Retreat. This project is an opportunity for the students to apply their own emerging leadership skills in collaboration with others, while making a contribution to the awakening and development of girls and women.\r\n\r\nResidential retreats are currently held at <a href=\"http://harmonyhill.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Harmony Hill Retreat Center</a> overlooking the beautiful Hood Canal and Olympic mountain range on Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula.

This program redresses critical aspects of women’s feminine nature that have been rejected or become dormant, underutilized, or distorted. This is necessary to create a healthy, sustainable balance with the masculine capacities that the contemporary workplace requires of them, such that they are more productive, creative, inspired, and satisfied in their careers. The Opening Program is designed to stand alone, and women earn a university certificate for completion.

By focusing on how women learn and grow and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we designed a program that unlocks a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results.</strong>\r\n\r\nWomen’s Mysterial Leadership Certification awakens women’s untapped leadership potential by weaving together the following unique elements:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Transformative/developmental. </span>Many leadership programs focus on learning new theories or acquiring new skills. Our Certification not only offers leading-edge theories and new behavioral tools, it also enables a fundamental transformation of outdated patterns in in the way a woman lives, loves and leads. It helps students to awaken to their full value as women and express that value freely and authentically.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Integral. </span>Drawing upon the extensive work of Ken Wilber, Robert Kegan, Otto Scharmer, Susanne Cook-Greuter, and other leading theorists, our comprehensive approach integrates a diversity of systems, academic disciplines, and forms of knowledge—from the wisdom of ancient shamans and sages to today’s breakthroughs in cognitive science—into a handful of essential elements that are key to facilitating human development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Accelerated. </span>Although radical transformation doesn’t happen in a single weekend, or even a few weeks, it doesn’t need to take years. Our Mysterial Sequence™ provides the most efficient, critical path through the essential work needed to develop a woman leader. Individualized coaching, a rigorously researched program curriculum, and the catalytic nature of a learning community combine together into an alchemical force. We developed our 4.5 and 9 month curriculums to accelerate true transformation without sacrificing artistry, enjoyment, academic excellence, or deep connection.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Theory- and Research-Based. </span>We combine stimulating theories from innovative thought leaders with our extensive experience and research in women’s growth and leadership development. We systematically review how women in our programs are transforming and update our curriculum accordingly. This rigorous, experiential curriculum has qualified our curriculum for over a decade as a university-certificate program.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Embodied.</span>It is vital that women today build a dynamic relationship with the full spectrum of their being, so that they are able to embody and express their unique essence. We teach women to access ways of knowing that engage all three centers of intelligence—thinking (head), feeling (heart), and sensing (body)—so that they can bring a holistic understanding to complex issues.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Individually Tailored. </span>Participants work intimately throughout each program with a certified coach trained in our Mysterial methodology.

Do you sense that life keeps speeding up and you just can’t run any faster? Do you long to make this world a better place, but don’t see how? Do you feel that your life is too much doing and too little being? Do you struggle to offer what you value the most—your empathy, your intuition, your openness—to a world that favors impersonal, rational, decisive ways of acting?</h5>\r\nYou’re not alone. As we venture into this complex new century, more and more people—women and men—are realizing that longstanding ways of acting and being are no longer working, for individuals, communities, or the earth.\r\n\r\nOur world is increasingly interconnected, fast-paced, unpredictable, and complex. In recent years, its spectacular challenges and opportunities have brought us to the limit of our current paradigm of leadership—one that was a match for the times in which it emerged—but is proving insufficient for today.\r\n\r\nThis milieu is calling forth a whole new way of leading, one that is truly a match for the 21st century. And we began to observe, in graduates of our full Certification program, exactly this happening - radically new ways of living, loving and leading consistently emerging. We felt a strong need to name this new paradigm of leadership so that it could provide an inspiring image of the future for other women.\r\n<h4>We call this way of being Mysterial leadership™.</h4>\r\nThe word “Mysterial” derives from two characteristics that we observed distinguish a 21st century new paradigm woman leader from her 20th century counterpart:\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>Ease with the unknown, chaotic, and ambiguous – with the <em>Mystery</em>, and</li>\r\n	<li><em>Medial</em> with its two meanings - a psychological term denoting the capacity in a woman’s psyche that is able to bridge between radical differences, including masculine-feminine, dark- light, simple-complex, east-west, rational-intuitive, conscious-unconscious, pragmatic- visionary, and so forth. Medial also means an ability to manage reactivity and find the middle way in challenging situations.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h4>An Expanded Definition of Leadership</h4>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-586\" title=\"LLL circles more white\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LLL-circles-more-white1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" /></a>Many women today do not see themselves as leaders, even though they have significant influence within their worlds. This is especially true of women who are not in positions of traditional authority. Kore Evolution more expansively defines leadership as a way of being and doing that includes and yet transcends the focus on roles, power, competition, and control associated with traditional leadership paradigms.\r\n\r\nWhen a woman begins to embody a Mysterial way of being, it is natural for her to bring her innate gifts and passions to the world. She becomes an influencer through her presence and her creative, well-timed actions – a Mysterial leader.\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs-leadership/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>read more...</em></a>\r\n<h4>An Inner Upgrade</h4>\r\nMany women leaders today are feeling a fierce urgency to up-level their own leadership<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-500\" title=\"WOB diamond.005\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/WOB-diamond.005-300x294.jpg\" alt=\"Way of Being and Behaviors Diamond\" width=\"300\" height=\"294\" /></a> capacity and unique expression. This includes wanting access to not only their masculine skills to make things happen, in a linear way, with focused goals for unlimited growth, within a command and control structure; but also the complex feminine capacities for emotional/social intelligence, intuition, collaboration and caring, divergent thinking, and a sustainable and generative understanding of cycles, among other things.\r\n\r\nImportantly, women want a new paradigm of leadership that not only draws on more of their innate strengths (that the world needs now), but is also more satisfying and meaningful.<a id=\"urbanmystery\" name=\"urbanmystery\"></a>\r\n<h4>For women to up-level to a new paradigm of leadership that is truly a match for the 21st century, they require a leadership development approach based on <em>how women actually develop</em>.</h4>\r\n<h2>Our Urban Mystery School</h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-503\" title=\"Space Reaches From Us[1]\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Space-Reaches-From-Us1-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" /></a>We create conditions in which women can open to the unfolding mystery of their innate potential and develop the leadership capacities needed to creatively and effectively engage in the world.\r\n<h4>The Woman’s Mysterial Leadership Certification™</h4>\r\n<strong>The Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification was created to be the most comprehensive, in-depth, ground-breaking, and future-sensing leadership development program in the world based on how women actually develop.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt is intended to prepare women to expand their leadership influence and impact in a rapidly evolving, massively globalizing environment by skillfully accessing all of their innate potential as women, benefiting themselves, others, their organizations and beyond.\r\n\r\nIn alliance with <a href=\"http://www.saybrook.edu/lios\" target=\"_blank\">LIOS Graduate College of Leadership at Saybrook University</a>, our Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification pairs an academically sound, rigorous, research-based curriculum with the ageless wisdom traditions, arts, and deep practice of an urban mystery school.\r\n\r\nIt is delivered in two distinct stages: The 4.5 month <strong>Level 1 Opening Program</strong>, delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. For women who desire higher levels of leadership and societal contribution, the more extensive 9-month <strong>Level 2 Emergence Program builds</strong> upon the Level 1 program to continue the learning experience and complete the Mysterial Leadership Certification process.\r\n\r\nThe comprehensive Mysterial Leadership Certification was designed by the Kore Evolution partners, drawing on 12 years of intensive research, on-the-ground experience, and the expertise of tested and trusted faculty members who have been dedicated to this important work for many years.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Leadership Certification is revolutionary, based on a coherent distillation of academically accepted bio-psycho-social-energetic frameworks of human and cultural development. Since 2000, it has been tested and refined with women of diverse ages, temperaments, competencies, backgrounds, and styles and at all levels within their organizations.\r\n<h5>Mysterial Leadership Certification Builds the Foundation for Leadership Growth</h5>\r\nMany leadership development programs focus only at the skill, knowledge, and expertise-<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-505\" title=\"Enso 3 Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LL-Enso-3-med-247x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"300\" /></a>building level. To build the leadership capacities necessary to address the challenges of the 21stcentury, we must first upgrade the ‘Way of Being’ from which these behaviors and skills emerge.\r\n\r\nThrough our Level 1 and Level 2 programs, we systematically build a foundation, or a “source code,” that creates a solid, sustainable way of being upon which desired leadership behaviors can be sustainably built.\r\n\r\nWith the cultivation of a Mysterial Way of Being, a woman naturally expresses more skillful and effective leadership behaviors and increases her overall ability to develop her knowledge, skills, and expertise. Our graduates consistently make more valued and exceptional contributions in their workplaces, families, and communities, and report being more fulfilled in their work and their lives in general. This kind of leadership development can be seen as a true investment for the future, one that will continue to pay dividends.\r\n<h4>Our Transformative Technology: The Mysterial Sequence™</h4>\r\n<strong>By focusing on how women learn and grow, and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we learned what it takes to unlock a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results. </strong>\r\n\r\nThrough our in-depth work with many cohorts of students we decoded a developmental process, designed specifically for women, that consists of five distinct and sequential steps.\r\n\r\nThe Mysterial Sequence is an elegant developmental process that clears and cultivates all of our Yin and Yang essences, providing the “critical path” to a sustainable inner upgrade. Like a plant that unfolds from seed, to shoot, to leaves and flowers, a woman develops in an organic process that unfolds in identifiable stages, each more complex than the next. These stages build upon one another and none can be skipped.\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs-technology/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>read more...</em></a>\r\n<h2>Women’s Mysterial Leadership Certification Programs</h2>\r\n<h4><a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-508\" title=\"Always Now II Lynda Lowe\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Always-Now-II1-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>General Program Structure</h4>\r\n<h5>Pre Program Assessment</h5>\r\nPrior to the start of our programs, each individual participates in a rigorous and comprehensive integral assessment with a faculty member. This establishes a baseline from which we can specifically coach and systematically track students’ leadership development progress and outcomes.\r\n<h5>Program Structure</h5>\r\nEach program begins with a five-day residential Opening Retreat—a rich and deeply engaging experience that establishes a catalytic learning community and lays the groundwork for individualized coaching with faculty. Additionally, women are introduced to their facilitated online learning classroom in which they will engage with other cohort members throughout the program. We meet again during the program mid-point, either virtually or in another residential retreat. Both programs conclude with a residential Closing Retreat. In order to be certified, students must complete and present their culminating group leadership service project at the Closing Retreat. This project is an opportunity for the students to apply their own emerging leadership skills in collaboration with others, while making a contribution to the awakening and development of girls and women.\r\n\r\nResidential retreats are currently held at <a href=\"http://harmonyhill.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Harmony Hill Retreat Center</a> overlooking the beautiful Hood Canal and Olympic mountain range on Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula. The closest airport is Seattle-Tacoma International. Harmony Hill offers first-class, green-built accommodations, beautiful grounds, delicious wholesome food, and an inspiring container for our transformative work.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\" target=\"_blank\">Level 1: The Opening Program</a></h4>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Dakini-gold-icon-large-square-bkgrnd.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-588\" title=\"Dakini gold icon large square bkgrnd\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Dakini-gold-icon-large-square-bkgrnd-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"A.

It delivers a fundamental shift in a woman’s perspective and builds a synergistic foundation of capacities and behaviors for Living, Loving, and Leading. This program redresses critical aspects of women’s feminine nature that have been rejected or become dormant, underutilized, or distorted. This is necessary to create a healthy, sustainable balance with the masculine capacities that the contemporary workplace requires of them, such that they are more productive, creative, inspired, and satisfied in their careers. The Opening Program is designed to stand alone, and women earn a university certificate for completion. It is a requirement for the Level 2 program.\r\n<h4><a title=\"Level 2: The Emergence Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-2-the-emergence-program/\">Level 2: The Emergence Program</a></h4>\r\n<a href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Dakini-red-level-2-icon-square-background.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-590\" title=\"Dakini red level 2 icon square background\" src=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Dakini-red-level-2-icon-square-background-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"A.

By focusing on how women learn and grow and what’s really necessary to lead effectively in today’s turbulent environments, we designed a program that unlocks a woman’s capacity to nourish her body, heart, mind, and soul—while generating tangible, meaningful results.</strong>\r\n\r\nWomen’s Mysterial Leadership Certification awakens women’s untapped leadership potential by weaving together the following unique elements:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Transformative/developmental. </span>Many leadership programs focus on learning new theories or acquiring new skills. Our Certification not only offers leading-edge theories and new behavioral tools, it also enables a fundamental transformation of outdated patterns in in the way a woman lives, loves and leads. It helps students to awaken to their full value as women and express that value freely and authentically.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Integral. </span>Drawing upon the extensive work of Ken Wilber, Robert Kegan, Otto Scharmer, Susanne Cook-Greuter, and other leading theorists, our comprehensive approach integrates a diversity of systems, academic disciplines, and forms of knowledge—from the wisdom of ancient shamans and sages to today’s breakthroughs in cognitive science—into a handful of essential elements that are key to facilitating human development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Accelerated. </span>Although radical transformation doesn’t happen in a single weekend, or even a few weeks, it doesn’t need to take years. Our Mysterial Sequence™ provides the most efficient, critical path through the essential work needed to develop a woman leader. Individualized coaching, a rigorously researched program curriculum, and the catalytic nature of a learning community combine together into an alchemical force. We developed our 4.5 and 9 month curriculums to accelerate true transformation without sacrificing artistry, enjoyment, academic excellence, or deep connection.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Theory- and Research-Based. </span>We combine stimulating theories from innovative thought leaders with our extensive experience and research in women’s growth and leadership development. We systematically review how women in our programs are transforming and update our curriculum accordingly. This rigorous, experiential curriculum has qualified our curriculum for over a decade as a university-certificate program.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Embodied.</span>It is vital that women today build a dynamic relationship with the full spectrum of their being, so that they are able to embody and express their unique essence. We teach women to access ways of knowing that engage all three centers of intelligence—thinking (head), feeling (heart), and sensing (body)—so that they can bring a holistic understanding to complex issues.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Individually Tailored. </span>Participants work intimately throughout each program with a certified coach trained in our Mysterial methodology. Using a comprehensive integral assessment process, the coach will skillfully customize the program to support the student’s unique development.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Supportive and Catalytic. </span>Our certification provides a dynamic learning community to initiate and support personal transformation. The cohort offers a powerful community of practice experience of being in trusting, supportive relationships with other women.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Beautiful and Imaginative. </span>We actively engage women’s sensing and feeling natures by designing our instructional materials and working environments to be beautiful, inspiring, and delightful. Using stimulating right-brain processes and practices, we invite imagination to awaken women to their deepest feminine being.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #900; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\"> Substantive and Highly Skilled Faculty. </span>Our dedicated and well-trained faculty fully embody the Mysterial Way of Being, facilitating our programs with multi-faceted skill, deep heart, and a sense of playful possibilities.\r\n<h5>We invite you to join us in this emerging movement of Mysterial Women, r-evolutionizing the way women live, love, and lead.</h5>\r\nTo learn more about the level 1 program, <a title=\"Level 1: The Opening Program\" href=\"http://koreevolution.com/test/programs/womens-mysterial-leadership-certification/level-1-the-opening-program/\"><em>click here</em></a>\r\n\r\nTo find out about our upcoming complimentary information sessions, click here\r\n\r\nFor other questions, please contact us below.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Programs','','inherit','open','open','','22-revision-96','','','2012-10-01 15:31:12','2012-10-01 15:31:12','',22,'http://koreevolution.com/test/22-revision-96/',0,'revision','',0),(596,1,'2012-10-01 03:38:48','2012-10-01 03:38:48','<div class=\"homepg\">\r\n<h4>After more than a decade of designing, delivering, researching, and refining our highly successful suite of women’s integral leadership development programs, we began to notice a significant shift in our graduates.</h4>\r\nThey had access to the <strong>full spectrum</strong> of their beings – all of their Feminine and Masculine essences.
