Annoucing the next Anything Could Happen course
Thursday, July 16th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
Totem would like to invite you to participate in our next Anything Could Happen course which will be running in September. It will be taking place in North Wales on either 11-13th September or 18-20th September. The cost is £280.
There is plenty of of information about the course at www.totemdevelopment.co.uk/anythingcouldhappen
In summary, it is an open outcome course with no fixed programme. We aim to draw together a diverse group of people, put them in beautiful surroundings, and provide challenging activities to create a powerful learning experience. It is aimed at people who are interested in their own personal development and who want to explore their own learning in an exciting and challenging environment.
Since we use Agile Programming, we can’t guarantee what you’ll be doing on the course but previously we have guided blindfolded partners; hunted foam animals scattered throughout the town; created art out of slate; abseiled and climbed; had round table debates; created codes and built a bridge across a lake.
We couple this with meaningful, engaging personal and group reflection and review to ensure that participants come away having learnt from everything they have done.
Some comments from previous participants:
“Thought provoking and loads of fun with plenty to take away to think about and hopefully apply!” -James
“A month of life packed into 48 hours!” -Eeva
“Thought-provoking; knackering but fun and challenging” -Billy
Mark also wrote a short piece about his time on the course, which you can read here.
The course fee includes all food and accommodation for the weekend, as well as the training, activities and any materials used. We will be based at the well equipped and friendly Bryn Du Mountain centre.
If you are interested in attending the course, please let us know which dates (11-13 or 18-20) you could attend and which one you prefer.
If you have any friends, colleagues or family who you think might be interested, please do not hesitate to forward this to them.
If you want to know more about this unusual course, please feel free to contact us.
Anything Could Happen – Participant Profile

After our last Anything Can Happen course we asked Mark, one of the participants, to write about his experience on the course. Anything Could Happen is such an unusual course with such a different methodology that it can be difficult for people to see what it’s all about. We hoped that by getting one of the participants to tell their story, it might help others to see what they might get out of it.
He did a fantastic job of describing his experiences, which we’ve presented below. There is also a PDF available for download if you want to print it out and give it to someone who would be interested.
