If you long for change, but seem unable to take steps towards the change you wish to see, this course can help.
Over this 12 week course, and with the guidance of Martha Beck’s book The Way of Integrity, we will move closer and closer towards what stops us, what blocks us, and how we can engage with those sticking points in a way that moves us along our path, closer to what we long for.
We will use Embodiment Practice and Resonance to attune to our internal landscape of physical sensations and emotional experiences. We will learn basic concepts of Relational Neuroscience to help us understand how we got where we are, lost in the woods, and to develop a framework to bring ourselves back to our path. The quirky humour of Martha Beck is going to keep our spirits up while we go on this adventure together, and the allegory of Dante’s Inferno is going to be our field guild.
You will come away from the course with concrete steps and processes that will keep you moving closer to your own wholeness and integrity, and towards what it is you long for.
Each week will cover two chapters of the book.
While I recommend having a physical copy of the book (or ebook), you don’t actually have to even be reading the book. It might be enough for you at this season in your life to listen to the information in the online class, and contemplate what’s offered there. You are not required to read the book or do the homework. It’s important to honour where you and your brain and your available resources truly are, so that you have access to this information in a way that is going to only support and benefit you, not further drain or strain you.
If you do have a copy of the book and plan to read along, I encourage you to do the exercises in the week we cover that chapter in the online class. Ex, our first class will cover the first two chapters. You could read the chapters and do the exercises in those chapters. I have worked my way through this book three different times, and each time my answers to the exercises are different, and each time they are so helpful. They can be a really rich resource during these 12 weeks, and they may also become resources that fit into your back pocket while traveling your integrity journey in the future.
