- Are you stuck repeating the same patterns?
- Is it difficult to ask for what you want?
- Are interested in making your intimate life more sacred and meaningful?
If you're ready to turn inwards and discover new parts of yourself, welcome to the "embodiment" path, the journey of tuning into the wisdom of the body as a window to the soul.
Together, we will learn new skills to connect more deeply.
This path can feel very nebulous, since it does look different for each person. One person's version of an accepting, loving relationship with the body, including their sexuality, will look completely different from anothers. Only you can be the authority on your path, and yet there are very measurable and observable skills that will support you in becoming the most fully realized version of your soul. During this two month program, we'll outline seven different skills for embodying your soul - skills for improving intimacy with yourself and others.

FAQ
Who is this program for?
Courageous explorers who would benefit from skilled guidance and support in identifying their learning edges. Folks who are learners and who make a habit of taking complete responsibility for their experiences. This is a program for those who may have some experience on the embodiment path already, and would like to focus on the skills that lead to greater authenticity, personal magnetism and fulfillment.
Who is this program not for?
People who are not willing to be vulnerable in the presence of a supportive community. This is a group coaching program, so each participant will have the opportunity to be coached in a group setting. Also if you have acute trauma and are in need of immediate psychological care, this program is not designed for you.
What if I can't make one of the sessions?
The sessions will be recorded, so you can listen to the recording afterwards, but we strongly encourage you to attend in real time.
How much homework will there be in between sessions?
You will need to meet with your buddy for that week for about an hour practice session, and to set aside about 30 minutes each day for practice/journaling/reflection.
