INTRODUCING CCLI
Ready for renewed confidence, flow, and efficacy as a coach, facilitator, creative, or leader?
Hear from Kelly –
THE PROBLEM
As leaders, coaches, and counselors, we get to innovate all the time. And no matter how much we’ve grown, we’re always ripe for evolution…
But when we look for support in our expansion, we find gaps instead. We get off course by the wrong inputs and there are serious deficits in the fields of leadership training, self-development, and spiritual work.
WHAT'S LACKING
Some spiritual communities skew either too dogmatic or cult-like. Some are too vague and airy-fairy.
Leadership training communities generally lack ground in philosophical traditions and don’t put much focus on practices that ground us and grow confidence, stamina, and vision.
Do You Face These Challenges?
- Do you find it difficult to support clients to create transformation because you need a deeper foundation of wellness and unconditional support?
- Do you need new tools and skillsets to metabolize past traumas and adapt to an ever-changing world?
- Do you need stronger tools to help your client's overcome undigested trauma, shame, or self-criticism?
- Do your clients mistake the spiritual path as a self-improvement project?
- Do you feel you need a strong community container to support you to expand your perspective?
- Do you have a big vision for how to transform your work in the world, but get stuck in the process of implementation and strategy?
If you are looking for a new way to grow, consider CCLI.

Here’s what we’ll cover
Assess what in your life needs releasing, so you can explore a deeper vision.
Ground into practices that connect you to the perfection of your essence, and a totally unbounded future.
Using transformational writing practices and guided journeys, pull back the veil that conceals the causes of energy blockages and leaks in our systems.
Concoct a radical, bold new proposal for how your life and professional work could unfold.
Learn how to identify your deepest truth. Innovations of your professional life can arise from an awareness of fullness, rather than recapitulating past deficits.
With the support of seasoned DharmaBridge mentors, uncover the architecture of your vision, and find the most important portals to change.
Work in small groups to wire-frame new scaffoldings for how your work in the world could manifest.
Most of us have radically under-estimated the potency of our networks. Focus on the integral aspect of building a matrix of mutual support around you.
In the final phase of CCLI, we earnestly enter into a non-dual Creation Project. This project serves as a template for shifting patterns in our lives at large, while we generate momentum required to embody our vision. Revisiting our intention, we ensure our projects are fed by all the wisdom energies and not hijacked by pattern. As we define the scope of our projects, we assess the essential energetic shifts necessary, and the indispensable actions imperative in committing ourselves to change. Our projects are supported and grounded by the understandings and practices of somatic psychology.
We celebrate the transformation cultivated in our lives and work, and center our lives and ongoing intentions around these expansions. We rewire our attention to focus on beauty and our values to prepare us for the changes unfolding.
