I invite you to join me in my newly updated course centered on our foundational path here at Upward Slopes and We Are The Forest.
Your Path Forward is a 5-part course that is here to help you connect more fully, and more skillfully, to your highest and best path forward through this wild life.
Where are you best headed in life? I cannot tell you this. What I do know is that you will not figure it out if you are scattered, caught up in the chaos of it all.
This chaos lives outside of you, and it lives within you. It exists in the folds of your mind and the disconnection from your heart. It exists in the patterns that keep you attached to what society tells you that you should do and be, and the patterns that keep you disembodied, in disconnection from your true self.
Here, we disentangle ourselves from the chaos of it all I guide you to find your grounded, centered path through it all. From here, you get to heal, as you get to learn to be discerning.
Discernment – It may be the most important skill of our age as we learn to navigate mountains of noisy information – learning to find the skillful path forward through it all.
The great problem of our age
This problem has everything to do with how we discern our way through it all.
- When we are overrun with chaotic problems and challenges, where can we best place our attention?
- When we are constantly bombarded with one version of a story and another, how do we best get to the heart of what matters, finding truth and skillful action through it all?
- How do we call upon all the we have to do our own internal healing, while also transforming the world we are all part of for the better?
This 5-part course is here to help you navigate through it all with as much skill and grace as is possible, so that you can move through life, feeling better within self as you become a lighthouse for this Planet Earth.
What this course is:
- Cultivate a grounded, heart-centered connection within self, and with connection to the whole Planet Earth that we are all part of. Grounding includes, but is not limited to: a felt sense of safety and security, combined with a felt knowing of where you stand at any moment in time; also, a heart-centered feeling of connection to that which is greater than you (in our case, Planet Earth)
- Creating space for what matters most. This includes the dissolving of the thought patterns, nervous system patterns, and belief systems that unskillfully take up your time and energy. This involves the ability to detach from the programming that has been instilled within you as you fill your mind and body with consciousness. From this space, you now become free to take in what matters and to make skillful choices based on all of it
- Healing – as in, “whole-making.” This is not a course on healing self through working with wounding. This is a course on bringing consciousness to all that you truly are. In doing so, we heal the rifts that have been caused within self, and we mend the false narratives that have separated you from the whole of life on Planet Earth. In this way, we heal as a true whole, individually and collectively
- Discernment – taking in what matters most and making the most skillful decisions possible from the ground you stand on, here in this moment.
- Embodied Activism and service to that which lives outside of self. Here, everything isn’t just about you. Rather, it is all about you in connection to all of life on Planet Earth. As part of the web of life, it is important and necessary to take care of self. You get to feel good in your body as you experience the joys and wonders of this life! In you lighting up for this world, you get to affect change in this world that matters: that is grounded, aligned, and is helping to co-create a brighter, more beautiful Planet Earth.
