What will we do during months 1-4?
You will begin at Inner Connections with an orientation and meeting with house mates to discuss house rules and responsibilities, including chores, menu planning, grocery shopping and cooking. You meet with your Life Coach and discuss your coaching plan and schedule. The coach also explains how to derive the greatest benefit from the coaching sessions. Together, you and your coach build a weekly schedule that includes classes or work, activities, meetings and free time. This schedule is revised weekly to help you maintain a balanced lifestyle that enables you to accomplish your goals. Your coach will help you identify independent living skills you may need such as opening a bank account, meal planning and shopping within a budget. Your coach will also help you learn how to register for classes or look for a job.
If you are enrolled in classes, you will attend study groups and meet with your academic advisor. You will be encouraged to explore your own interests and to take advantage of the many community resources that are available in the
Keene area.
You will attend meetings and groups and you will work with your coach on an individual coaching plan that reinforces the goals that you set for yourself initially. Also you will continue to revise your goals and address issues as they arise. Your coach will help you learn new coping skills and strategies to help you as you move forward. You will begin working with your Inner Connections Journal.
What happens during evenings and weekends?
At Inner Connections you will also have the opportunity to learn how to manage your unstructured time. You may choose to participate in healthy, fun, supervised activities like cooking classes, bike rides, rock climbing, concerts, jam sessions and movies. Students often plan group activities, and if there's enough interest and the weather permits, we often take students on outdoor adventures such as skiing, rock climbing, hiking, kayaking, etc. As you progress through Inner Connections, we help you balance your life with fun, work, and relaxation. You are given the time and encouraged to explore your spiritual life, practice meditative arts through yoga or tai chi, work out regularly, and pursue your intellectual, musical or artistic interests.
