LifeForce

“It has now been 4 years since I discovered David and Lifeforce, and I have been developing health and vitality practices on a daily basis to serve my life project.

When David told me about his project to train facilitator coaches and he asked me to be part of it, it was an immense joy and an unconditional yes from me as this approach resonated with me.

Already being a trainer, my current job is to transmit, but what I discovered during this one-week in-person internship was a boost in my way of conceiving of transmission.

From this internship with David, I particularly remember that a more subtle sharing, done fully with the heart, and in the service of others, increases tenfold the power and pleasure taken in the transmission of the Lifeforce approach. The first participants in our LifeForce discovery workshops demonstrate real awareness and concrete changes in their lives.

Having almost reached the end of the 1st level of Lifeforce facilitator coach training, I would like to take stock here and provide my testimony concerning the initial one-week face-to-face course, in which I had the pleasure of participating in February 2022.
Enthusiastic by the teaching of David Tan who helped me to pass more than one milestone since I met him in 2016, I agreed to be part of the team he constituted to train it and thus accelerate the transmission of his Lifeforce method. A year earlier, less than 10 years from retirement, I had voluntarily interrupted my teaching career within the National Education; also, at the end of the last Lifeforce internship in 2021, I felt a strong continuity between respect for the principles of life at the heart of Lifeforce on the one hand, and on the other, my own determination to now contribute to a more fair, healthier and resolutely more human.
The week of training was intense and rich in lessons for me who found myself on the other side of the “barrier” so to speak: no barrier in reality, because David never stopped giving access to all the keys to his pedagogy and the method he created. Somewhat destabilized by his demanding approach, with a sustained pace of learning, I nevertheless greatly appreciated the quality of his commitment and the great coherence of his program. Although experienced in group learning activities such as those practiced in a classroom or in theater classes, alongside David and the trainees, I learned a lot about myself in other possible postures to transmit in presence, on the ground: co-animation, meta-position, for example, allowed me to confront the challenge of transmission and transformation in a different way. Multiple times of listening and expression, as well as regular progress reports are some of the tools of the efficient system put in place and masterfully led by David, and which have had a personal impact on me and made me grow. . I cannot forget, finally, this openness of the heart which underlies the entire LifeForce method, an authorization that I denied myself for so long in front of my college students, within the republican institution. For all this, I warmly thank David as well as my endearing co-interns, all so brilliant and so generous, each in their own way. Long live Lifeforce!nt dans une salle de classe ou en cours de théâtre, aux côtés de David et des stagiaires, j’ai beaucoup appris sur moi dans d’autres postures possibles pour transmettre en présence, sur le terrain : co-animation, méta-position, par exemple, m’ont permis de me confronter autrement au défi de la transmission et de la transformation. De multiples temps d’écoute et d’expression, ainsi que des bilans d’étapes réguliers sont quelques-uns des outils du dispositif performant mis en place et mené de main de maître par David, et qui m’ont personnellement marquée et fait grandir. Je ne saurais oublier, pour finir, cette ouverture du cœur qui sous-tend toute la méthode lifeforcienne, une autorisation que je me suis refusée si longtemps face à mes collégiens, au sein de l’institution républicaine. Pour tout cela, je remercie chaleureusement David ainsi que mes attachants co-stagiaires, tous si brillants et si généreux, chacun(e) à sa façon. Longue vie à Lifeforce !
