METASAGA
“Heroes take journeys, confront dragons, and discover the treasure of their true selves.” - Carol Lynn Pearson.
I am running a Meta Saga at John Knox house in Edinburgh on Friday 7th March at 10.30. This is a facilitation technique that encourages people to reflect on the surroundings and environment. See the attached document for more information.
There is no cost for this event except your entrance fee to John Knox House – probably £5.00. Because the house is small I plan to limit the numbers to 10 people. So please book a space with me. I expect the Meta Saga to last about an hour and we can then meet in the Café at the Story telling centre for a chat.
If you are unable to make this event but would like to know more about Meta Saga and designing training to be friendly to the Brain. I am an training event workshop –Train in the Grain of the Brain at Carronvale House, Near Falkirk on the 20th March.

Metasaga is a journey through the culture, heritage and physical landscape. It allows leaders at all levels to engage in deep self- reflection by exploring their environment. It utilises a strengths-based, whole system approach to evaluate how they operate as leaders and the performance of the organisation they lead. It makes leaders at all levels reframe their thinking using metaphor, narrative, tradition and artefacts found in their own physical environment. It combines the business techniques of non-directive coaching, dialogue and appreciative inquiry with the traditional storytelling teaching of our culture, be that the Norse saga or Gaelic “sgeul”.
Metasaga has been used in both the private, voluntary and public sector, especially Education where pupils and staff have travelled together to create innovative courses on leadership development.
“The Metasaga is a fantastic tool, as it encourages the young people involved to explore their local culture and understand their place in the wider world, while developing key skills such as team work and leadership.”
