Our culture is in love with normativity. A believe that there is a “normal” type of person that has the usual patterns, abilities and personality expressions, and then there are deviations from it that somewhat broken and dysfunctional. This perspective diametrically contradicts the evolutionary intelligence of this living planet that creates stability and vitality through diversity and differentiation in every aspect of life. The monoculture of normativity is the most unstable and fragile condition of an ecosystem.
One of the many ways mainstream culture has misunderstood natures intelligence behind creating neurodiversity and differentiation is our relationship to ADHD. We have a distorted understanding of the phenomenon, usually portraying it as a disorder or disease that needs fixing. This perception has led to numerous misconceptions and regular bad advice, resulting in a collective misjudgment of the true potential and gifts of those with ADHD and their important role in the evolution of society. Without a proper understanding of what ADHD is and how to use the extraordinary vehicle a person with ADHD has received, it indeed creates a lot of pain, confusion and problems in ones life and relationships. But the problem isn’t the complex as such, it’s how we relate to it. The problem and the suffering of ADHD emerges in the demand of society to function exactly the way normativity expects it. This is like trying to go grocery shopping with a formula 1 car.
What is urgently needed is a better understanding what ADHA really is, and how we can apply it as the superpower it is, which has a profound purpose in this world.
In this transformational weekend workshop, we will embark on a journey to reframe ADHD as an evolutionary advantage and explore its true potential as an intentional manifestation of earth's evolutionary intelligence.
Join us as we explore the fascinating neurobiology, and the unique superpowers that lie within this neurodiversity. We'll dive into the new science of dopamine and motivation, create amazing habits that create hyper focus and attention, and we learn the crucial aspects of how to use somatic tools and trauma integration take control, stop the spiral of shame and guilt and turn the curse into a gift. This immersive experience is perfect for anyone wanting to gain a deeper understanding of ADHD and embrace its hidden potential.
If you don’t belong to the group of people with the ADHD neurodiversity but you are trying to understand it better because you relate to someone with ADHD (a partner, a family member), you are welcome to join us with curiosity, openness and respect.
