Creating Competitive Advantage

Program Overview:
The 2018 Orisa Lifestyle Retreat reveals a more strategic aspect of Baba Obafemi Origunwa's spiritual teachings; competitive advantage.

It is one thing to know your natural gifts and talents. Using your natural gifts and talents in ways that create competitive advantage is something else altogether.

ISEGUN OTA means "Victory over enemies." It is one of the FIVE BLESSINGS OF IFA. What few people realize, however, is that isegun ota is a blessing that can only be achieved through struggle, trauma, disappointment and pain.

Hardship helps you master the tools you need to build competitive advantage. It is for this reason that the most successful people are often the ones who have been most severely broken.

With instruction inspired by Baba Obafemi's most ground breaking book, the Fundamentals of Orisa Lifestyle, the Orisa Lifestyle Retreat is designed for those who are ready to get real about their spiritual development.

Ask yourself, "How does my spiritual practice help me create competitive advantage?" Why should anyone - lovers, employers, business partners, EVEN THE ANCESTORS - choose you over your competitors? Do you really think beads, pots and titles are enough to give you competitive advantage? If so, think again. Get ready to clear out the clutter and haziness of your spiritual practices and enroll in this retreat today.

ITINERARY

This retreat will facilitate relaxation and rejuvenation, provide an opportunity to clear your mind and help you develop the tools to create competitive advantage in your everyday life through:

self discovery
daily ritual
sacred service
journaling
spiritual discourse
community development

During this retreat, you can refine your natural gifts and talents in ways that help you create competitive advantage. You can meditate overlooking the ocean or relax in the local Orisa Temple as you absorb spiritual empowerment.

For an additional cost, you may let a massage therapist pamper you or you could finish the book that has been sitting next to your bed for months, as you stretch out in a lounge chair in the quiet poolside reading room.

Please take notice all activities are optional, though the Orisa Lifestyle Academy highly encourages you to participate in all activities for the best overall experience. Activities are also subject to change.

THE WORKSHOPS

DAY ONE: Personal Healing

connection before content: Here, the facilitators set the tone for open exchange, safety and mutual respect by making brief contact with individual participants, telling the story of our spiritual journeys, clarifying logistics of the day, how the retreat functions as the kickoff event for the Isegun Ota Syndicate (IOS) Movement, and inviting everyone to participate fully.
introductions: To emphasize the importance of collective thought and ideation, and to dissolve any imagined barrier between leader and participant, each person briefly introduces himself or herself. This affirms the importance of each individual as a unique contributor to the group’s collective wisdom, which will be tested extensively throughout the IOS adventure.
increasing awareness: The IOS journey begins with a challenge. In this workshop segment, Obáfémi combines scientific data, storytelling and group discussion to identify our current strategic condition. Special attention is given to the relationship between your natural gifts and talents, competitive advantage and sustainable growth. This is where participants come face-to-face with the array of unintended consequences that result from spiritual materialism, including our present society’s isolation from the means of production, our loss of strategic planning and most importantly, our lack of financial maturity. This segment is the reality check. It helps us come to grips with the severity of the world’s desperate need for change.
agreement: The longest journey begins with a single step, in this case an agreement. Money, for example, has no intrinsic worth. It is paper printed at the mint. We literally MAKE money. Its value is based entirely upon our collective agreement. Imagine what will happen when millions of people deliberately take on actions and practices that are aligned with the highest aspirations of Òrìsà Lifestyle. In this way, Òrìsà Lifestyle Agreements will help us create 16 generations of sustainable growth.

DAY TWO: Collective Healing

gratitude, reflections and insights: We begin the day with gratitude, reflections and insights. Together, these impulses will help the group to get back onto the same page and set new intentions for what is to come.
the virtuous cycle: Here, we explore the relationship between doing what we love, high performance and continuous improvement. This virtuous cycle is key to creating a "viral effect" within our various circles of influence. Òrìsà Lifestyle Agreements are meant to inspire and encourage. So, it is important to emphasize ways to practice them with enjoyment and pleasure.
skills development: With our Òrìsà Lifestyle Agreements made, now we are ready to roll up our sleeves and plan a grassroots campaign to reach and mobilize our communities around real life concerns and opportunities. Participants will practice one-on-one conversations, public speaking and design communications platforms for creating strategic alliances with local organizations and related activities.
creating opportunities to act: In south Texas, a group of participants joined forces with the neighborhood school to participate in the creation of a micro-society, wherein the students learned ways to make sustainable culture part of everything from the post office to the supermarket. Osuntoki, who is the president of her neighborhood association, took advantage of the opportunity to create a much needed recycling program. This segment of the retreat will use small group activities to cull collective knowledge about what already exists in your community to create opportunities to act in accordance with your Òrìsà Lifestyle Agreement and invite others to do the same.
responding to demand: As you might imagine, once you start to show up in this new capacity, Òrìsà consciousness will gradually become contagious. People will be curious and will want to know more, as well as get involved. This segment will use scenario mapping to help you plan out your best responses to the community's increased demand for Òrìsà Lifestyle Agreements.
facilitating change: Òrìsà Lifestyle Agreements are intended to create small, but significant change, which means many things to people inside and outside the Òrìsà community. More significantly, change can be very challenging because it makes people feel vulnerable. Human identity is deeply connected to familiarity. When we create change - even positive change - many people feel threatened. During this segment of the retreat, we will explore best practices of change management in order to make the experience fruitful, as well as compassionate for all involved.
celebrating successes: During this segment, you will learn more about the "IOS Syndicate." Following the Orisa Lifestyle Retreat, you will have the opportunity to participate in an exclusive business incubator group. Each meeting will be organized around a theme that supports organizational benchmarks. Designed to facilitate peer-to-peer education and support, the interactions will invite participants to troubleshoot common problems and celebrate our collective success with creating a powerful global movement to reclaim our future.
commitment before closure: What gets measured gets done. This segment of the retreat invites each participant to affirm her or his Orisa Lifestyle Agreement, as well as make one commitment to the group. This serves as both accountability and encouragement.
