Life Design

Thank you so much for Envision 2021. I consider it one of the best events I have participated in for many years, so much that I want to share it with my children (one is a business manager, the other an engineer and the younger a radiologist) the fundamental principles of holistic life that I got from your speech.

Javan’s Envisioning 2021 workshop provided a wonderful framework for gaining deeper insight into the past year, then turning that knowledge into a values-centric vision for the coming year.

I came away with a good framework and a good start on reviewing 2020 and envisioning 2021. I have been working with the material since the workshop and am finding that it works well as a sort of deeper spiraling process, where I can go back through my notes and go even deeper with each pass.

Highly recommended!

Thank you ever so much for giving me the opportunity to be part of this Visioning workshop. That was simply brilliant!

I really enjoyed that process and it gave me such a positive boost to dive deeper into doing a more detailed reflection and forecasting for myself this upcoming week.

I have felt so stuck this year. It has been a most humbling year for me that has felt so full of fits and starts. This process of yours helped me see beyond what has felt like a lot of failure and negativity to also see the important learning and lessons for how to move forward. So thank you ever so much for that.

Even though I was in a space online with 50 people that I have never met, you somehow managed to create such a safe and intimate space for us. That speaks such positive volumes of you as a person and teacher.

Again thank you – from the bottom of my heart. I am not good at asking for and reaching out for help, but I know I need some help to figure out how to move forward and to get unstuck. This was a mighty positive step in the right direction.

Looking back over the year in the Envision 2021 workshop with Javan gave me a better perspective of what I need to implement moving forward to be able to better track and monitor my life’s progression. The tools and reflection questions Javan offers create a very supportive and loving space to do so in a nonjudgmental, but observational,  way. “When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.” Alexander Den Heijer. Working with Javan is helping me to shape, build and create the most healthy, supportive terrain of my dreams!

Envision 2021 inspired me to really dig into the past year of my life and consider who and what influenced my day to day. The workshop asked me to reflect on what my future self needs and desires, and what positive momentum I’d like to carry forward into 2021, and what influences I’d rather leave behind, or not engage in. Javan was a kind, gentle and constructive facilitator. I appreciated the communal aspect of the workshop and having the chance to feel the energies of other people all around the world. It’s true that so little of our day to day allows for, or encourages the act of reflection, and the workshop reminded me that I have the power to enact this ritual of reflection for myself. “If you don’t design your own life, someone else will design it for you.” The workshop helped me feel a little braver in thinking forward to 2021 and dreaming, envisioning, and sculpting the values that I’d like to see represented in my day to day life. It was an overwhelmingly positive experience.

I want to thank you so very much for all of the support and mentorship that you provided me in our sessions together. I cannot thank you enough for your insight and belief in me when I was struggling in life and business. You have given me invaluable tools that have already yielded results, and that I will continue to work with and reference over time. I am forever grateful for you business guidance and for giving me so many great ideas based on your own tried and true experiences. I look forward to continuing to work with you in the future. Thank you always.

Dear Javan,

I want to thank you so very much for all of the support and mentorship that you provided me in our sessions together. I cannot thank you enough for your insight and belief in me when I was struggling in life and business. You have given me invaluable tools that have already yielded results, and that I will continue to work with and reference over time. I am forever grateful for you business guidance and for giving me so many great ideas based on your own tried and true experiences. I look forward to continuing to work with you in the future. Thank you always,

Elana.

I came to know Javan and the work he does, through Darren Doherty and his online training REX. Six months down REX’s program, I separated from whom was then my partner, and the land project were starting suddenly stopped.

After almost a year I contacted Javan to help me looking at the bigger picture, put myself on the spot and help me making the questions, I was not daring to ask myself (about my current situation or what I really wanted from life), or probably didn’t even know existed.

Making your own Holistic Context is part of Rex’s program, so I was a bit familiar with it and had done some work on it. However, it was very important to follow Javan’s steps and guidance to go deeper into creating my Holistic Context and learning about decision making. I felt Javan was always there on the other side of the line, answering all my doubts and offering extra time for completing my homework. So as I guess is quite common at first, my initial HCs were quite loaded, way too long and quite influenced by the examples I had as reference and inspiration.

For our penultimate session Javan asked me to do a viability analysis of potential land-based enterprises. The research I made and the numbers I clarified, left it quite clear that it was not possible for me to make a living from the land in my personal circumstances and context. It was a big blow to my plans and the energy I had already invested on the land. I then followed his advice to go back to my HC and do another editing.

Feeling desperate made me go into surviving mode and this helped me to distil the HC to be more realistic and stay with what is essential and true to myself. At the same time, I came to realize what I want to do for living, and when I went back to my newly edited HC, realized what I want to do is completely in line with my values. I felt it was good timing for me to have my HC edited by the time my previous plan kind of stuttered. I felt I had a structure upon which I can rest and keep  perspective going forward.

This work with Javan has been very important. I feel very fortunate I came across his path. I hope to find work of my own that helps people as much as he helped me. I think it’s a work that has the potential to benefit us all especially these days and the state of the world

It’s amazing to have gone from feeling absolutely lost in life to how I feel now, I’m excited for what’s next.

Thank you so much.
