Sunday, we had our first workshop and it got me so excited for this series!
For anyone who missed it, the replay is below, open to all subscribers to watch. (Note, you can’t see people who came live but can hear them when they share. I will think about whether we keep it like this or have people on screen according to what people desire!)
This first workshop of the series included:
✨ The difference between Joy and positivity and happiness
✨ Why Joy is not only possible and okay in times of challenge and when the world is so scary, but why I think it’s Necessary for us to reclaim our humanity
✨ How Joy is an act of liberation for us individually and then the collective
✨ How to access your Deeper Why for starting and committing to a Joy practice (and spoiler alert: I talk about how and why this exercise is crucial for starting and sticking to ANY new habit)
✨ I walk you through how to do the Deeper Why exercise and give you one of my personal examples
In upcoming workshops, we will dive deeper into various topics from my book on how to cultivate more Joy in your life. They will be a way for the book to come alive and offer each time, practical and doable ways you can change your life.
I promise you, this is a practice that will change your life. It is exactly how I have navigated the extreme grief and uncertainty of a child with a fatal illness and how I have coached my patients and small groups to find more meaning, purpose and joy in their own lives.
It is a practice that does not dismiss anything you are feeling. Joy is a way to hold ALL of what you are feeling and give you a way to step into your life instead of run away from it.
TWO THINGS for you to consider:
❓How often would you like these workshops? I originally said quarterly but honestly I do not think that’s often enough to cultivate a true practice and I am here to fulfill a mission of helping everyone cultivate true Joy in their bodies. I do not want to overwhelm you either. So I am deciding between monthly and bimonthly. (I am leaning towards bimonthly to give you time to integrate teachings.) But PLEASE let me know, hit reply to this email or comment on this post and tell me your preference. This is for YOU.
❓If you are committed to this practice and cultivating a community to support you in that, consider becoming a paid subscriber. For less than latte each month, you can truly learn skills and tools to change your life. These are the same skills I use with patients and in psychedelic integration and would love to share them with you. I offer them to paid subscribers for two reasons, because I show up with my all each time, giving immense value and because I want to cultivate a community who is committed and who can grow together. One of the best things about yesterday was letting people in my community meet and learn from each other. I want that for you.
*And if anyone has a barrier to pay, please let me know so I can gift you a 6 month membership.*
Here is the workshop. I hope you enjoy. The recording is about 50 minutes and all workshops will be 1 hour max to respect your time.
Share what you learned in the comments if you are open to that and we can build community even deeper!
Thanks for the encouragement!!
Thank you for the replay, I can't wait to watch it! I didn't realize though that when we're participating live, we are actually on screen/heard like in a 'real' meeting... 🙈 I'm just anxious so this will be a challenge for me, but it can also be a good thing I guess, to try and overcome this shyness.
And I'm really excited that you are considering doing workshops a bit more often, that is so generous of you! 🙏 I think bi-monthly would be good indeed. Thanks again for the replay that I'll watch as soon as possible. Much love and gratitude to you!
