If you volunteer to host or co-host your community Big Day In then our help to host is free for volunteers. We appreciate your talent and willingness to give to others. If you host as a professional and financially benefit from hosting Big Day In then you would be expected to contribute a percentage of that income to our not-for-profit Big Day In adventures Inc. These contributions mean that we can continue helping others grow with Big Day In. If you want us to host on your behalf, your cost in 2021 is $997. If you are excited about learning more with us about teaching and facilitating, your cost in 2021 is $997. However, we do not want a lack of finances to be considered a deterrent so we are actively working on exploring alternative currencies and options around hosting or co-hosting Big Day In for mutual benefit.

Authentic Humanity

Hosting Big Day In calls on articulating ways of being, living, and actioning in local and global communities.

Big Day In BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal)

Is to explore the question “What are the common characteristics of authentic humanity that underpin Big Day In pedagogy and philosophy?”.

Who? What? Why? When? How?

Culture. Religion. Indigenous. Spiritual.

Morals. Ethics. Values.

Space. Place.

Knowledge. Experience.

Community. Environment. Ecosystem. Sustainability. Regeneration.

Passion. People. Planet.

Networking

Cherie said networking is essential for business and takes practice to achieve success.  She taught us through role-play, ways to develop instant rapport and connection with colleagues and clients. This would be a perfect activity for Big Day In. At my next business meetup, I smiled and made eye contact with a new group of potential clients and I was instantly included. Thank you, Cherie.

Flower art

I went to a flower-arranging workshop with my daughter. It was fun and I was hooked! So when we talked about Big Day In, I was excited that I could share what I learnt about flower art. We could get flowers and greenery from my friend's garden, people bring pots. I take everyone through the steps I knew and voila everyone would create just the best displays. I was chuffed with the thought that I could help others create. ELLA

Building Teams

I am a professional facilitator. I hosted a Big Day In for corporate team building. It was a challenge for me to step back and allow the participants to be totally in control of their sessions, without judging their performance to be good or bad, and just breathe and enjoy the experience of being a participant. I learnt a lot about them and I surprisingly learnt a lot about me too. GENEVIEVE

Dad Jokes

Big Day In is for blokes too. Justin was at a bit of a loss as to what he might do in a session. Then he said, "Aha, I have it!" One of his favourite things to do was to tell Dad jokes, funny ones were good but the best ones were when his kids would say "Oh, Dad". That response was what he loved the most. So he brought along his best Dad jokes and everyone took to the floor and shared either his jokes or their own. Everyone had a great time. It sure was a fun session. STEVE

Horses

I ride horses. None of my friends do. I knew that. So in my session I chose to (safely) introduce my horse to my friends. It was funny. Duke, my horse snorted just as my friend Kate came to give him a pat. "Holy moly" Kate said "That was the scariest thing I have ever done.", and then congratulated herself with "How brave am I?!" She still talks about her time with Duke to this day. ANNA

Yoga

My friend Josie is a scientist... and Josie also loves yoga. She loves it so much that she began her training to be a yoga teacher. So at our Big Day In she led us through a session of yoga. I had never done yoga before. I enjoyed it so much, I do yoga now, I love it, and am seriously thinking about being a yoga teacher someday soon. CARMEL

Reflect

One of the strengths of hosting a Big Day In is that each event finishes with a Reflective session. I believe that reflection is necessary on the path of true transformational learning. It just is... How it's done is each person's choice - short or long, straightforward or creative, together or as individuals. Such freedom in the session is another strength of the pedagogy that I agree with when considering how I could grow corporate organisations. MARGIE

Time for Tea

How delightful!

We had our own tea tasting ceremony. And in the loveliest tea set ever. We tasted six different teas, complete with cleansing the palate with water in-between. We wrote down a word to describe each tea and gave them a rating. Then we ranked them for our favourite. It was interesting that no two people ranked the teas in the same order, and there were more than three favourites. JI
