Sept. 10 - Sept. 16th​ 2023
This journey will give you skills to practice cultivating connection and belonging: both within your own body, and embedded in the wider ecosystem of Earth.
This is a journey of the physical and metaphysical, the mundane and the magical, all interweaving together to help us remember our place, and cultivate a new relationship not just with our own selves, but with the tapestry of Life, within which we are woven.
​
While the practices will be for 5 days, the experience will be book-ended by live calls to cultivate a strong container, and help guide you into a powerful experience.
The entire experience is a week long.
We’ve long been taught from our society that our sense of belonging comes from the outside. That in order to belong, we must fit in. That finding true connection means reaching outside of ourselves. We must have the certain product. We must look a certain way. We must believe a certain ideology.
But this couldn’t be farther from the truth.
In her research, Brené Brown has found that true belonging is actually the opposite of fitting in. And that “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.”
In order to nourish that deep hunger that drives so much of our consumeristic habits, that drives a sense of loneliness, and that drives so many acts of hate, we have to tune into and tend our internal landscape again. And in order to do so, we have to cultivate a foundation of self-acceptance, self-love, and self-knowing.
The purpose of this journey is to open the doors of belonging for you. To instill practices that cultivate self-acceptance. To help you find that sense of easeful peace within you. To build a foundation from where true healing arises. From where you can find connection and meaning within your life. From where you continue to open to yourself, over and over again, inviting a richer knowing of yourself, a self that’s in authentic relationship with the outer world.
Because we’re not isolated individuals, but a part of an intrinsic whole, this challenge will also help you land yourself within the fabric of the natural world, providing a landscape for you to sense your belonging inside of.
This journey will help you align with your inner authenticity. It will help you feel more at peace in your body. It will help you gain more self-understanding and self-compassion. It will help you create a container to hold yourself within as you walk through your days.
This is for anyone looking for a greater sense of belonging or connection within themselves. It is for anyone on a healing path or looking for a doorway into your healing journey. It is for heart-based, sensitive, or empathic souls. It is for anyone feeling lost or anxious. And it is for anyone looking for footing within a chaotic, changing world.
By the end of the experience, you will have a better understanding of your inner landscape and be able to hold yourself with more compassion and understanding. You will learn how to support yourself and be able to call on the wisdom of the natural world to bolster your healing and sense of belonging in relationship to the external.
THE DETAILS
​
Once you sign up, you'll be invited to join our private course community on Mighty Network. On Sunday evening, 9/10, I will host a live call to introduce you to the journey and set the intention for the week.
Then each day, for 5 days (9/11 - 9/15), a new teaching or guided practice will be available to you, to help solidify a growing sense of connection and belonging within. The practices shouldn’t take more than 15 - 30 minutes to complete, and range from guided meditation to journaling to simple actions.
You'll be encouraged to share your experiences in our community, to be witnessed, and to witness other folks on their own journey, as we walk this path separately, together. And then on 9/16 we will have a short closing call at 10am PST to ceremonially close the container.
​
This week long event is a chance for you to experience my work, and get a small glimpse into what we do inside the Golden Stone Wisdom School. You don't have to be interested in the school to join, and Build Your Belonging is a complete journey on its own.

HOW IT WILL GO DOWN:
On the evening of 9/10, we will have a live call to introduce the material and create the container. And on our final day, 9/16, we will have another live call to intentionally close the space.
​
During the middle 5 days, you will be given exploratory practices in the themes below:
DAY 1
Deepen
relationship with your Body
DAY 2
Feel yourself interconnected with the Earth
DAY 3
Find a stone, plant, or place ally to support you
DAY 4
Develop
relationship with an element of nature
DAY 5
Cultivate a daily ritual practice
The more we move towards connection with our bodies and the earth, the more we move into greater understanding of wholeness, inter-being, and true healing.
So I invite you to take this journey on with your whole heart. It is one of the most important things we can be doing right now. The time is long past now to shift how we relate to ourselves and hence the world around us.
​
Will you say yes?
