Fall Gathering 2016:  Association of Transformational Leaders

Be inspired by like-minded people doing transformational work in the world, and explore cutting edge ways to connect quickly, deeply and effectively with the wisdom and intelligence of your own body to access guidance you can trust, support the work you do and create success with more ease, grace and joy.  Join your fellow transformational leaders as we explore the theme of:

Embodying Wisdom: Accessing the Body’s Genius to Enhance Success.

We have three amazing presenters who are experts in helping people connect to the inherent intelligence of one’s own body to access guidance and to create health, vitality and success. Sue Morter and certified Somatic coaches Dennis Coyne & Billy Anderson will be joining us this October. Dr. Morter is a members of the Transformational Leadership Council, which includes luminaries such as Jack Canfield, Marianne Williamson, John Gray, Michael Beckwith, and our own Dr. Paul Scheele.

Dr. Sue Morter, international speaker and Master of Bio-Energetic medicine, teaches a retraining of the nervous system through a process called Embodiment.  Through a video recently filmed exclusively for atl.midwest at the Transformational Leadership Council with Dr. Paul Scheele, Dr. Sue will share 4 key practices to facilitate and embody change in yourself and others. After the video Dr. Sue will be with us for a live phone call-in Q & A, at our gathering so you’ll get a chance to ask questions!

Somatic Transformation Experience with Dennis Coyne & Billy Anderson  Fellow atl.midwest members Billy and Dennis are certified Somatic Coaches formally trained at the Strozzi Institute and will share insights and cutting edge tools from over 22 years of combined experience in the practice and study of somatic transformation.  The word “soma” comes from the Greek, and refers to our internal, felt experience of living in the human body.  Somatic transformation manifests in many ways, specifically enhanced personal effectiveness.  People become better able to manage self and coordinate effectively with others.

With somatic awareness and practices, people are better able to take effective action in their lives and to lead others.  Some experience spiritual awakening.  Dennis and Billy will introduce what “somatics” means and how this understanding can be a lifetime study and benefit.  More specifically, they will guide us through an experience that will enable us to be more resourceful and to be more in choice when provoked or “grabbed” by life events.

Steven C Anderson, fellow ATL member and  award-winning pianist, will be our guest musician. If you haven’t yet heard him play, and of course you already know this if you have, you’re going to want to be there. We really appreciate his contribution in time and talent! (A little bragging here by the ATL Hosting Committee:  Steven played for a standing room only audience of 2000+ at the St Paul Cathedral last December, and it was amazing).

As always, we look forward to listening to one another as well, and invite you to share your own ways to Embody Wisdom.

More About our Guest Presenters

Embodied Wisdom for Transforming Leaders

International speaker, Master Teacher of Bio-Energetic Medicine and Quantum Field visionary, Dr. Sue Morter teaches the retraining of the nervous system and subtle energy system of the body through a process called Embodiment. Through her Energy Codes® seminars and retreats, and her BodyAwake”^^ video series, she illuminates • the relationships of quantum thoughts, energy medicine and healing through the re-patterning of the nerve impulse through the body by use of the mind and deep breath work. She retrains the brain, shifts old memory patterns and then teaches us how to move beyond the brain for sustainable healing. She holds self-healing, yoga, and meditation retreats at sacred sites in Mexico, Bali, Peru, Egypt and India, as well as across the United States.

Dr. Sue is seen as an expert on bridging science, spirit and human possibility in many documentary films including The Opus, The Cure, The Cure is YOU, The Gift, and Le Femme.

She is founder and visionary of the Morter Institute, an organization committed to teaching individuals self-healing techniques and a new approach to life based on Quantum Science and Energy Medicine. The Morter Institute is an international destination for healing and wellness education, providing ongoing coursework and treatment for tens of thousands of people over the last three decades.

She also, along with her partner Dr. Elisa Zinberg, co-founded Soulful Science Productions, a production company focused on providing support for autistic and differently-abled children through guided meditation and affirmations.

Dr. Sue is a Master Teacher of the Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.), a powerful natural healing modality developed by her father that is taught to healthcare professionals globally. Dr. Sue could see energy as a child and shut down her ability in her teens as it generated conflict while commenting on what she saw with others. After years of not being able to retrieve that ability, it returned during a life changing re-awakening during meditation.

After spending a decade learning how to generate the neuro­circuitry to recreate that experience at will, she now enjoys sharing those skills around the world, teaching others how to “Get beneath the story of their lives and work with the raw energy to enhance the full expression of their true magnificence.”

About Dennis

“My clients set the course and I ride shotgun, spotting opportunity and avoiding ambush. They learn to take effective action. They achieve their goals.”

Becoming a career coach was the result of Dennis’ desire to combine his interest in people with his training and experience as a lawyer, and his undergraduate education in psychology. With the support and advice of his own coach, Dennis studied at the Hudson Institute of Santa Barbara and received his certification as a professional coach in 2000.

In 2006, Dennis received an additional coaching certification, this one conferred by the Strozzi Institute of California.

In 2009, Dennis was featured in an interview appearing in the launch of the Cutting Edge Law site.

Dennis has also been selected (for the fourth year) to join the Linkage Coaching Network as an executive coach for the week-long 2011 Global Institute for Leadership Development (GILD), to be held October 9-14, 2011, in Palm Desert, California at the Desert Springs JW Marriott Resort & Spa.

Before becoming a coach, Dennis practiced law for thirty years and helped to shape the development of environmental law, both locally and nationally.
