After years of co-creation in live events, Janet Stone and I collaborated on this course. It’s an offering from our hearts and years of practice and study that offers a deep exploration for the global sangha.

The Anatomy of Emotion course offers a multidimensional roadmap of the body, through the Chinese 5 Element system. This system and practices creates a bridge that connects our minds, bodies and emotions. The powerful journey you’re about to go on will dive into the shadowy depths of our subconscious, releasing your lightness of being, soulful playfulness and spiritual curiosity.
Over 5 weeks, we’ll explore the embodied energies of each element, cultivating conscious pathways for our emotions to come to the surface and be integrated into the self, leaving us feeling more whole. Throughout, we’ll focus on opportunities to authentically express ourselves more, curate an inner sense of being and to integrate practices of self-care in our daily lives. This course offers an emotional education on how to be grounded in our essence through our bodies and our actions.
Physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects of our beings
An in-depth tour of your body’s system through Chinese 5 Element theory
Practices to support self-expression, authenticity and emotional integration
Intimacy with your conscious and unconscious selves, as well as your community and the larger world around you
Ways to cultivate emotional buoyancy
The whole experience of creating this course with Janet has taught me so many things. I thought this work could only be shared in person and one on one…lol… boy was I mistaken. This virtual format is a profound applicator for this deep work. To be able to have all the teachings and practices at your finger tips and to be able to use them when you have time and desire is truly revolutionary.
None of this would happen without Connie and Lihi… Thank you sooooo much!

Your healing doesn’t have to hurt as long as you feel your pain.
Your pain will transform once you have learned what it is here to teach you and truly what is transformed is…YOU!
