“Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.”  Brene Brown

Relationship with Self
adults only

Sometimes there are parts of Self we don't understand or maybe even dislike. We'll navigate these parts together to  better understand why they exist for you and how they've helped you  survive, and we'll explore how they also get in your way. Perhaps there is another way you'd rather move in the world, with yourself and others.

With compassion leading the way, you'll understand how you move between various roles with yourself and others, and how to step out of this unhealthy, perpetual entanglement and into your authentic Self.

Together we'll gently unearth your shadow self and uncover your light ("Numb the dark and you numb the light", Brene Brown says.) Strengthening your core Self and the ability to hold non-judgmental awareness and attention toward  mental and emotional experiences  increases your tolerance of imperfection and the ability to be vulnerable, thus allowing for self compassion, less comparison, and the ability to show your light despite the consequences.

“Belonging is the innate human desire to be part of something larger than us. Because this yearning is so primal, we often try to acquire it by fitting in and by seeking approval, which are not only hollow substitutes for belonging, but often barriers to it. Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.”- Brene Brown
