Your inner music is more beautiful than you can imagine.

You can go beyond the push and pull of the external world – beyond what takes you away from your innate strength and joy.

There is a special awareness available to all. Developing your ability to connect with that awareness – deep inside, beyond thought, habits, and misplaced beliefs – creates clarity. From a place of love and trust, you can cultivate life to be more peaceful, joyful, and harmonious. You can return to a state of calm no matter the circumstances. You can learn to have presence and peace as your natural state.

In this course, I will gently guide you into your heart. I’ll provide teachings that inspire introspection and encourage you to write and share from beyond your conscious thoughts. This class is experiential.

By strengthening your ability to explore your inner world, you tap into a deeper awareness about yourself and your life. This allows you to cut through habitual patterns that cause pain, numbness, and conflict. You’re more able to receive insights ~ beautiful gifts from your heart.

Open your path to real internal freedom and delight in your life’s true meaning.

Why is the option of sharing your writing an integral part of this course?

To help yourself and to help others. Let’s look at that in more detail:

• Being held in loving presence and being witnessed can bring new layers of healing and insight. Depending on past experiences, being seen and heard as you are may also empower a sense of self.

• Receiving reflection from others may add layers of new meaning and bring up new information and questions within the reader for further growth.

• Hearing someone else’s insights, experiences, and learning can crystalize or accelerate your own.

• Reading aloud is powerful. It brings out authentic voice, cuts through patterns of fear, and allows the reader to hear themselves in a new way.

• Connecting with like-hearted others can inspire and encourage us to delve more deeply into ourselves than we have ever dared before.

• Being together and building a field of trust and openness can move us into our hearts creating opportunities for realization and wisdom to arise naturally.

• It can be a catalyst for self-discovery helping you feel more grounded, clear, and joyful.

• As your joy and internal calm increase, they radiate out to others around you creating a mutually beneficial cycle.

• Remember, you’ll always having the option to pass – no one will ever be forced to share their writing, thoughts, or feelings.
