The Winter Series will bring insight and inspiration, inviting
freshness and growth for the new Spring.• Get out of your head and
into your body
• UNDERSTAND THE EMOTIONS THAT TRIGGER YOU OR HOLD YOU BACK
• Be guided by your intuition and your deepest values
• Align body, mind, and spirit, to live a more purposeful life
The mind does not live in the brain alone, but also in the way the
body responds to thoughts and emotions. We are embodied beings and the
body holds memories, tensions, fears that can hold us back, plus
insights and wisdom to propel us forward. Awareness and mastery of the
body is the key to managing strong emotion, overcoming trauma, and
transforming triggering experiences into opportunities for growth and
connection.
"As we dive deeper and deeper into our own psyche, we end up in the
body" - embodiedemotion.com
In this series, we combine grounded science with personal experience
of the body-mind to:

Sign up for all four, for just $40, to gain deeper personal insight,
and connect with a community of like-minded people.
SESSION 1, 12 AUG: DISCOVER YOUR INTUITION
This session will open up new perspectives on everyday challenges and
choices. Where trying to think things through leads to contradiction,
anxiety, and doubt, the tools you learn will help you find solutions
that are comfortable, and aligned with your personal expression,
relationships, and deepest values.
We have some interesting neuroscience that supports, cognitively, what
you know already - that the gut and the heart are key to making good
decisions.
We have experiences where you can feel the decision-making power of
the body.
And we draw on the personal experiences of our people to make it real.
SESSION 2, 19 AUG: UNDERSTAND AND MANAGE STRONG EMOTION
This session will bring insight into why you feel what you feel, and
tools that help you be comfortable with strong emotion.
We table the science of attachment, trauma, and how we carry EMOTION
IN OUR BODIES.
We provide a lived experience of how conscious awareness and actions
can unmask hidden EMOTIONS, change how we feel, and bring peace to
conflicted thoughts.
In the stories shared, you will know that you are not alone.
SESSION 3, 26 AUG: USE ALTERED STATES FOR PERSONAL GROWTH
In this session we explore naturally occurring altered states that
bring awareness, insight, integration, and healing. We will also
discuss the power of psychoactive substances in therapy: MDMA for
trauma, and psychedelics for entrenched depression. State-of-mind, I
argue, is our most powerful tool to make peace with our past, and to
manifest our future.
Hear about government sanctioned trials of MDMA and Psilocybin, and
UNDERSTAND THE PHYSIOLOGY OF ALTERED STATES.
Experience shifting states-of-mind by natural means.
Share the experience and see how your state-of-mind influences
relationships, and quality of life.
SESSION 4, 2 SEPT: FOLLOW YOUR PLEASURE AND LIVE WELL
Consider the possibility that you can follow your pleasure to live a
meaningful, fulfilling, moral life. Find ways to experience a deeper
sense of pleasure. Empower yourself to let go of displeasure. Allow
your life to be guided by the "Pleasure Principle".
UNDERSTAND THE PHILOSOPHY AND PSYCHOLOGY OF PLEASURE.
Take a personal journey into the possibility of living your pleasure.
Hear stories, and find inspiration in a community of people with the
same vision.
