“dandelions don’t know whether they are a weed or a brilliance. but each seed can create a field of dandelions. we are invited to be that prolific. and to return fertility to the soil around us.”
— adrienne maree brown
The Dandelions Gardens Learning & Healing Coaching Community was inspired by the work of adrienne maree brown, that talks about the power of the dandelion containing everything it needs within itself. Similar to the dandelions, coaches in the past have been required to bring everything within them to the communities they serve, often working alone to support deep transformational change. To address, this phenomena, Blooming Willow coaching has designed a monthly community gathering and healing space for people interested in developing skills to support their own and others growth and healing. The Dandelion Gardens provides a space that encourages connection, vulnerability, authenticity and growth that will address the growing needs held by communities.
During these 1 hour virtual sessions, coaches and healers will engage in an interactive webinar where they will have an opportunity to practice healing centered coaching tools, watch coaching demos and engage with fellow participants from around the world.
