Visioning for Change: Map Your Purpose

Close your eyes.

Inhale… Exhale…

Imagine a better you. Imagine a better world.

Now open your eyes. We’re here to help you realize it.

Join Amy Soucy and Scott Tillitt for a unique, profound way to map your future by combining embodied awareness practices with strategic visioning exercises and community connection.

We’ll move, we’ll play, we’ll envision and connect through a transformative day of:

• movement and meditation
• visioning exercises and mapping
• mindful walk
• supportive group discussions and sharing

Everyone's talking about purpose these days. Everyone tells you that you need to find yours — for your own sake and for that of humanity's.

As creators and changemakers, especially, we need to not only continually stimulate our creativity, we need to keep our hearts open to remember whom and what we’re creating or fighting for. That's purpose.

There is a growing proliferation of books and articles and workshops with various approaches promising to help you find yours. One approach is visioning, a vogue-ish high-level process used in business, urban planning, nonprofits... anywhere where thinking strategically about future direction is helpful.

We’ll use it for our own creative, entrepreneurial, world-changing endeavors, whatever they may be. To help create a clear picture of life goals and deepest dreams, personally and professionally.

These workshops gather creators and creative changemakers of all stripes: entrepreneurs, activists, nonprofit leaders, organizers, artists, educators… anyone willing to stand in the fires of change in order to create a better way for themselves and a better world for others.

"This was exactly what I needed, and gave me some great tools with which to work both during the workshop and to take home. Both Amy and Scott created a wonderful setting and energy that fostered an amazing mental-space for dreaming and visioning."

Yoga & Mindfulness Facilitator, Transformational Coach, Catalyst for Women’s Wellbeing

Amy is an unapologetic advocate for individual and collective wellbeing. She helps high-achieving, multi-passionate humans reclaim their physical, mental and spiritual vibrancy, and tap into their own deep well of wisdom and wellbeing.

Nothing gives her more satisfaction than helping frazzled humans "lean out," slow down, and focus on self-care, and discover they have all they need inside them already.

Amy has been teaching yoga, leading retreats and facilitating mindfulness experiences for 20 years. She has certifications in the Integral and Anusara methods of yoga, along with extensive training in mindfulness meditation, transformational life coaching, and a range of healing somatic movement practices.

She effortlessly weaves all of these modalities together to help her clients relieve chronic pain, depression and burnout, and live with more clarity, confidence and grace. Her mission is to help you see who you really are - a part of the great whole, and a human BEing connected brimming with all the peace, potential and wisdom of the Universe!

Amy is also an award-winning singer-songwriter and recording artist who believes that creativity, self-expression, and mind-body awareness go hand-in-hand on the path to inner freedom and deep wellbeing.

Beahive Founder, PR Yogi, Social Entrepreneur

Scott is a connector — of dots and people. At times — often at the same time — throughout his 30-year career he has been a strategist, publicist, marketer, social entrepreneur, nonprofit leader, community catalyst, and writer. He has a broad perspective working in various culture-shaping (and sometimes suffocating) worlds — advertising, media, interactive design, photography, technology, television and fashion… before turning to social impact.

Years ago, catalyzed by 9/11 and an ongoing journey of spiritual and social awakening, he broke the trance of an increasingly cynical consumer culture and started applying his corporate-honed skills to positive, impactful change.

Scott founded communications consultancy Antidote Collective in 2004 and has worked with dozens of innovative nonprofits, foundations, citizen groups, social entrepreneurs and thinkers at the intersection of progressive issues, media, culture and community, socially responsible business and big ideas — from the Dalai Lama to Phil Donahue’s anti-war film Body of War, healthcare "whistleblower" Wendell Potter and groups as varied as Rainforest Action Network, an indigenous community in Canada, and the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.

He's also been involved in various nonprofit boards, entrepreneurial (ad)ventures, and community engagements focused on making the Hudson Valley a more vibrant, locally-rooted and human-scale place to live and work. He moved to Beacon from Brooklyn in 2006 and started Beahive in 2009.

Scott has a decades-long meditation and yoga practice, which keeps him centered and positive and his mind agile and creative (relatively speaking). He’s followed his bliss for years and has used visioning exercises to help bring clarity to his own path and others.
