Two Day RYL Program, 2009
What's RYL?

If you are new to this site, then you probably won't know that RYL is an acronym for 'Renovate Your Life'; a personal development program that I created and have been running for a while now in both a half-day and full-day format all around this fine land of ours. Just last month we finished a national tour and the overwhelming feedback was "I wish the program went for longer." Well, Johnny and I must be psychic (if not, psycho) because we had already been planning to run a two-day, live-in version of the program in 2009. Amazingly, the full day session didn't really seem long enough so we thought developing and running a longer version of the program would make sense. Two days with me; good grief.

Challenges

Making this program a reality has presented Johnny and I with a few... 'opportunities for personal growth'. With most live-in, high-quality programs like this costing well over a thousand dollars, trying to make our program both affordable for potential participants and also economically viable (for us as a business) was a big challenge. While the program content, structure and facilitation is pretty straight forward, our biggest challenge was to find a venue that wasn't going to push our program cost into the stratosphere. Do we go five star and charge a fortune, or do we opt for something less glamorous, more practical and more affordable for the masses? Finding a venue with the resources and facilities that we need, which can accommodate and feed one hundred people for two days without sending us all broke was an interesting exercise. In the end we settled on the Anglesea Recreation Camp here in coastal Victoria. While it is a camp-type venue designed for accommodating big groups, it's also kinda fun and funky and has great resources and facilities including lecture rooms, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, high and low ropes courses, volleyball courts, football fields and a bunch more. I have run many training programs (fitness based) at this venue over the years and have always had a great time. Think school camp (with slightly better facilities than we had in the eighties) and you're in the ball park. If you're a little precious and addicted to luxury, this probably won't suit you. I personally love the whole beachy, laid-back camp vibe. It's a beautiful location and environment to run a program such as this. Sand, surf, nature, bliss.

Some Practical Stuff

While the program is primarily aimed at addressing how we think, process, cope, choose, react, communicate and create in our world (all the head stuff), there will also be a practical component where we get off our butts and actually do something!! And no, you don't need to panic about this and no, you don't need to be 'fit'. Although I will facilitate the majority of the teaching for the weekend (90% or more), some of my team will be along to run some break-out sessions. There will be an exercise element to the program but it will be (1) optional and (2) fitness level specific (you won't die). Over the weekend we will also explore (in detail) the area of creating life-long optimal health; nutrition, exercise, lifestyle, emotional and mental health.

Snapshot of the Program

The weekend will consist of:

* Practical workshops
* Lectures
* Exercise/activity sessions
* Small group sessions
* Question/answer sessions
* Laughing, eating, sillyness
* Free time, socialising

These live-in programs are often the genesis for not only life-long change, but also life-long friendships. While you will be challenged, pushed, inspired and educated, you will also have a ball spending time with like-minded people all looking to create better results in their world. You will also get to meet some of my very cool trainers, coaches and therapists. And you might get to see me consume my bodyweight in cheesecake.

Details

When: May 29 - 31, 2009. The program commences 8 pm Friday night and concludes, Sunday 4 pm (arrive and register from 5 pm Friday).

Where:
Anglesea Recreation Camp, Anglesea, Victoria

Cost: $595.00*

* We are offering an Early Bird deal of $495.00 if paid in full by December 24. Maybe someone can buy you a place for Christmas! Ho, ho, ho. And yes, we will do a deal for groups (no, not groups of two!). We have booked the venue for one hundred people. I will be taking ten of my team so that brings us back to a limit of ninety places. If you have any questions, you can contact Johnny on (03) 9553 8857 during business hours or you can email him here.

You can find out more about the program here.

Okay, go and crack open that piggy bank.
