When you become aware of your feelings, responses and the stories you tell, you'll recognize how much power you have to shape your reality.
HUM expands self-awareness and human capacity through breath, psychology, somatics and conscious communication. It helps you understand your internal states, be with your experience, and develop more choice in how you respond.
You'll learn how to…
You won't be asked to stay calm, positive, or regulated all the time. You'll practise recognizing what is happening, meeting yourself with understanding, and returning to connection when you lose it.
HUM is an 8-week commitment: one 90-minute call on Zoom each week, plus about 20 minutes on your own. It includes:
Tuesdays from 6:30–8pm PT on ZoomFeb 16 · Feb 23 · Mar 2 · Mar 9 · Mar 16 · Mar 23 · Mar 30 · Apr 6
Optional add-on during the course: the Reawakening Retreat. Learn more
HUM is more than something you learn. It is something you begin to live.
My baseline has shifted in the direction of being less reactive and more present, moment to moment. I’ve moved through long-held anger and unhealthy caregiving, and I recognize that my life is mine. HUM has been enlightening, fun, challenging, and has brought so much openness to my life.
I’m more conscious, and I feel more light coming into my life. I’ve become someone with much clearer boundaries, and I’m learning that perfection cannot be the expectation. Doing my best is enough.
The pathway to becoming my own empathetic witness has become the more travelled one. I’m learning who I am, who I am not, and what I need to feel safe enough to grow and expand.
The balance between my wise, self-compassionate present self and the younger, more defended parts of me has shifted significantly. I have more access to wisdom than I thought.
