If you find yourself always having things handled, figuring things out, and taking an enormous share of responsibility to get things done then you know it is exhausting. You may feel your energy depleted, your sense of joy and vitality weighed down, or perhaps even broken. As a heart-centered warrior, you love substance and care about lifting others up. You want others to be happy but you want to be happy too.

If you are like me, you want More. You want purpose and Ease; fulfillment and Play. You want to feel your strength but your Softness also. This course helps you move more authentically and powerfully in the world with greater ease. In this six-week experiential course you:

  Find your natural Wholeness
  Connect to your real Desires, and
  Move from your unique Power center

You learn the movement patterns that sustain and resource your energy. You join a community of like-minded individuals who are on the same journey. In the process you explore InterPlay forms, journaling prompts and guided meditations to create a unique gesture ritual that you helps you feel and sense your tenderness, your wholeness and your desires. You also discover a necessary boundary or two through the play.
