Description
Important Update:
We changed the length of the workshop to 1.5 days. We'll start Saturday morning, giving you the option to arrive Friday night. We have run this exercise in multiple lengths from 2h, 1 day, 1.5 days... So we're confident we can create a deep and inspiring experience for you even with the shorter timeframe.
Temenos
Temenos is an experiential workshop for people interested in personal growth so that they can enjoy authentic connection with others. The endless curiosity and passion we’re born with gets dampened when we meet the limits of the context we grow up in. This can hurt, and deviate us from our path of growth. Attending a Temenos can help you clarify for yourself:
- Who you are
- Who you can and want to be
- What you want
- A strategy for your success.
Agile & Temenos
Agile is about "Individuals and Interactions". This workshop is designed to cultivate a high safety and trust—the underpinnings of great teams. It will also allow you to "be the change you want to see" by increasing your personal trust and safety. See the infographic on connections between Agile, Org Culture, Personal Growth & Temenos.
What Happens in a Temenos Workshop?
Here is an overview diagram of Influence Maps - the technique that we will start with
The Temenos worskhop is a safe place where we can be our authentic selves without judgement. We used Influence Maps to explain who we are and allow ourselves to be truly seen as a unique valuable human being. It is through our vulnerability that we are able to create authentic connections with others. See Brene Brown talk on the power of vulnerability.

Origins of Temenos
Temenos is the name of a special kind of experiential laboratory (usually delivered as a weekend lab) that Siraj Sirajuddin has invented and evolved over many years integrating diverse influences such as Buddhist, Islamic, Jesuit and Hindu spirituality, mythology and Jungian psychology. He’s been using these labs to support lean and agile transformations in his practice as an Organisational Transformation Mentor.
