THE THREE PILLARS OF TRANSFORMATION

MASTERPIECE

VIEW DETAILS

MASTERPIECE

×
  • Everything you need to live an abundant, meaningful life is ALREADY inside of you.
  • Your unique Masterpiece is your Authentic Self.
  • Over the years, your reactions to the people and circumstances in your life build up layers of dysfunction that cover up your Authentic Self.
  • Unleashing the Masterpiece is the process of identifying, removing and replacing these layers, and slowing the growth of new ones.

INFINITE TOOLS

INFINITE TOOLS

×
  • Finite games have well-defined rules, players, a start, an end, a winner and a loser.
  • Infinite games have changing rules, cannot be won or loss, and never end.
  • The transformation required to Unleash the Masterpiece of your Authentic Self is an infinite game.
  • To play that game effectively, you need to utilize infinite tools. Utilizing traditional, finite tools greatly diminishes transformation.

EMPOWERMENT

EMPOWERMENT

×
  • You need external power sources that you can depend on to recharge you and fill you up when you become depleted.
  • OOver the years, people have come to rely on many different external power sources: inner solitude, the universe, close friends, family and higher, spiritual powers, either general or specific.
  • Fully leveraging your external power sources allows you to sustain transformation over a lifetime.

INFINITE TOOLS

INFINITE PRINCIPLES

LEARN, APPLY, ENGAGE

VIEW DETAILS

LEARN, APPLY, ENGAGE

×
  • We all have access to an abundance of knowledge and the finite LEARNing tools to deliver that knowledge to us effectively.
  • The infinite aspects of LEARNing require us to intentionally seek LEARNing opportunities we do not really enjoy, or believe we do not need, or are very difficult for us.
  • Many of us have access to coaches and mentors to help holding us accountable to APPLY what we have LEARNed. However, coaches and menotrs have limited time to spend with us.
  • The infinite aspects of APPLYing require us to seek accountability and feedback for how well we are APPLYing what we have LEARNed, in every moment of our lives, in every context.
  • All of us ENGAGE with other people on a regular basis for a variety of reasons in a many different contexts.
  • The infininte aspects of ENGAGE require us to intentionally ENGAGE with others for the primary purpose of making the other person better, through transparent sharing of our strengths AND weaknesses, successes AND failures, positive AND negative emotions.

HARMONY IN TENSION

HARMONY IN TENSION

×
  • Traditional, dualistic patterns of EITHER-OR thinking and decision-making require us to arrange everything in our lives in to the categories of: good OR bad, do OR don't do, in OR out.
  • The infininte aspects of Harmony in Tension require us to assess everything into tightropes or tensions between two seemingly opposing principles or truths.
  • Every individual has a unique set of tightropes or tensions that need to be dynamically balanced from moment to moment, as circulmstances and realtionships in their lives change in real time.
  • This infinite principle allows for deep and intense personalization of the application of principles in their lives.

MIRRORING

MIRRORING

×
  • Coaching, mentoring and role modelling are great finite tools for developing specific skills in specific areas.
  • As we said in the APPLY section, coaches and mentors have a limited amount of time to spend with us.
  • We need feedback and accuontability in almost every moment of our lives, so we need to be able to enlist many more people to help us, and we need to be available to help many more people oursleves.
  • The infinite aspects of Mirroring require us to augment and extend the roles of coach and mentor, fully leveraging each and every individual in our unique contexts: whether knowledgeable OR ignorant, friendly, neutral OR even hostile, engaged OR disengaged.

INFINITE PRACTICES

RADICAL TEAMS

RADICAL TEAMS

×
  • Many of us find ourselves on teams we did not choose, or at least with some team members we would not have chosen.
  • Dealing with difficult people, people we may not like that much, and people who may not like us that much, can be one of the biggest causes of stress in any environment.
  • The Infinite Practice of Radical Teams encourages us to see each and every person in our lives as a MIRROR that we can leverage to make ouselves better, and make them better.
  • We actually practice seeing everyone in our lives through a different lens: looking at the positive aspects of the people, and looking for authentic feedback on who we are, and how we are doing.
  • When we properly steward every single person in our lives as someone we can invest in, and someone who can intentioanally, or unintentionally invest in us, we will see a much greater level of transformation in our daily lives.

ENGAGE GROUPS

VIEW DETAILS

ENGAGE GROUPS

×
  • These are the the people we intentionally choose to be a part of our personal transformation team.
  • At the same time, we intentionally choose to be a part of the personal transformation team for every member of the Engage Group.
  • While these groups may include deeper relationships, long-time, high-trust friendships are NOT a requirement for Engage Groups.
  • The primary requirement in joining an Engage Group, or recruiting for one, is the desire for real transformation through trsnaparency, vulnerability and accountability.
  • The Infinite Practice of Engage Groups is a primary driver for forming new deeper, high-trust, long-term friendships over time.
  • This practice is also the primary driver of real transformation in our lives. If you get one thing right, get Engage Groups right.

AUTHENTIC FRIENDSHIP

VIEW DETAILS

AUTHENTIC FRIENDSHIP

×
  • You may be fortunate to have one or more, deep, high-trust, ong-time Authentic Friendships in your lives. However, many people do not have any, and few people have as many as they need
  • The Infinite Practice of Authentic Friendship encourages us to be continuously developing and growing these special relationships in out lives
  • This practice also demands that we are becoming better Authentic Friends for others in our lives on an ongoing basis.
  • The quality and impact of the Authentic Freindhips in our lives will directly reflect the quality of our own personal integrity and development.
  • This may sound cliche, but in order to have Authrnic Friendships in your life, you need to be an Authentic Friend for others.

THE TRANSFORMATIONAL RHYTHMS PROGRAM

  • You live and relate in five primary contexts every day of your life:
    • Self, Relationships, Groups, Organizations and Communities
  • Flowing out, in and through each of these contexts with an intentional, structured rhythm creates fertile soil for growing abundance, joy and meaning in every one of the contexts.

ABOUT US

The Transformational Rhythms Program has produced phenomenal life change in Illinois State Prisons. Since 2016, more than 500 individual prisoners have taken courses in the program, and most prisoners have taken multiple courses, as both participants and assistants. We currently serve more than 300 prisoners per week in Illinois State Prisons.

We desired to test out the Transformational Rhythms Program in one of the most difficult and demanding environments we could find. The results of the last three years have given us the confidence and the desire to extend the program beyond prisons to young adults, marriages, parenting, professionals, nonprofits and anyone desiring meaningful, sustainable transformation in their lives.

We have marketplace, faith-based, and faith-neutral versions of our program available, in print, PDF, and digital-online LEARN-APPLY-ENGAGE formats.
