Coming Home To Yourself: From Approval-Seeking To Self-Belonging

With Kiran Patel

Through this course I want to take us through a process of remembering who we are and what we bring to this world, outside of everything we have been told about ourselves and what we have believed to be possible and acceptable. This is a space where we become reacquainted with ourselves.

Lesson 2

The Mirror – Seeing Without Judgment

Lesson 3

The Unraveling – Letting Go Gracefully

We humans have a tendency to cling onto ideas we have about ourselves, even the stories that hurt us. Why is that? Because even if we are holding onto identities that no longer serve our best interests, at least we know who we are. In this lesson we learn to let go.

Lesson 4

The Voice - Claiming Your Inner Truth

When you have spent such a large amount of time contorting to the expectations of others, of the society you live in and the environments you inhabit, you can lose sight of yourself. Lose the very essence of you. In this lesson you will be remembering the parts of you that have been forgotten and beginning to tune into yourself.

Lesson 5

Your Becoming

There is something expansive and exciting when we are faced with a blank space. An empty room or a blank page, because it symbolises all the potential that exists and that we have the ability to fill those spaces with whatever we desire.

Lesson 6

Emodiment - Stepping Into The Person You Are Now

Aligning our actions with our beliefs is the next stage of this evolution. This is where we are practising stepping into who we are. People are going to respond to you as they always have and so it will be how you now show up and behave that will signal to them that you have changed and that your requirements may be different.
