Why is Big Day In important right now?

The world is a little unsettled now. We need to find our way to living a new way of being. How do we do that and retain cherished values? It’s not easy but it’s doable. Look for the good. The positive. The enriching. Each of us will find our own path to where we can ‘breathe easy’ and live well. 

When you are ready to help yourself grow and thrive and you feel that you can help others do the same with ways of teaching and learning for fun and education… then you are in the best place.

Breathe and ponder what is important to you right now and consider how hosting your Big Day In can be a way for you to help yourself by helping others, to make a difference, and create change, large or small, in your community.

Big Day In calls on you to be committed and rise to the challenge.

Our world needs people like you.

What’s so special about Big Day In Village Life?

Village life is about being close and being real. You want to know the people around you. You value local history and culture. There are not too many. Be a friendly, sharing, caring community. Breathe clear, fresh air. Be in nature. It’s quiet and relaxing. It’s grassroots living.

What more could you ask for?

Big Day In can help with getting to know the real people in your community. Share what you know, appreciate what others can ‘bring to the table’.

See it. Feel it. Activate it. Connect. Community.

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
