Let's be clear: this workshop is designed to help you access
WHAT'S ALREADY INSIDE OF YOU
If you're like me, or the millions out there like me, that both thrills and terrifies you.
Go get some popcorn. Or an ice cream sammich. Or a cupcake. And relax.
I'm not interested in fixing you. Upgrading you. Changing you.
I can see you sitting there right now reading this, and I can see how brilliant you are.
Brilliantly fucked up, maybe. But brilliant.
That "fucked up" part is just part of the stuff that got put on you when you forgot who you were. When you believed what "they said" and then continued telling yourself those same things as if they were your own beliefs.
They're not.
The shoulds and the coulds and the shame? Not original you.
The natural raw essence of you? Golden. We're gonna buff and shine those outdated layers til we get to your essence.
When you live from your essence, you start enjoying the ride and appreciating that you're already inside Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. You don't need a golden ticket.
YOU ARE THE GOLDEN TICKET!
And that's what THRIVEOLOGY - THE WORKSHOP is for. Not only are we gonna buff and shine and get to the essence, we're going to indulge three glorious months, day in and day out, the practice of living in that essence.
And as annoying as this is, I'm still gonna say it: It's all in the practice. In the doing. In showing up, your genius has a chance to show up. See how this works? How beautifully we're all in this shit show together, growing something awesome?
So because of this whole "showing up and doing" thing, this is where I have to warn you...
If you're someone that really doesn't wanna change...
If you're someone who'd rather walk through a gym and have the trainer show you how all the machines work but never get on one...
If you'd rather buy the tripped out hiking shoes but never take the hike...
If you'd rather buy all the marvelous kitchen gadgets designed to make healthy food but never enter the kitchen...
...then this workshop isn't for you. Because you'll just use this workshop as an excuse to say that nothing changes. You'll shame yourself and torment yourself and you'll get to stay married to your excuses.
And your suffering. You'll get to keep your suffering.
I don't mean to say that we don't all have those look-at-her-go-that-bitch-is-awesome-but-me-imma-sit-right-here-under-these-blankets-with-these-dogs-cats-birds-and-eat-another-pint-of-good-ole-Ben-and-Jerrys. I've done it. I still do it. But this essence thing? It can handle days and months and years of down time. It doesn't judge. You can sit on the sidelines as long as you want.
Hell, you can take this course and have as many showing up days as you do sideline days.
But do you know what that means? It means when you are finished, you'll have had some incredible showing up days. Which means less stress, less shame, more strength, more self kindness.
This is a perfection-free zone. We don't have to become gym rats or die hard vegans or rainbow-enlightened zen masters.
What we have to become is ourselves, living our version of our best life. And the only thing you need to have to do that? Is willingness. One step. Just one step daily. This is enough to carry you on the adventure of a lifetime.
Thriveology is an e-course so you can move at your own pace. Though you can take as long as you like, is designed to take place over three months.
Read a chapter and watch the corresponding video and then take two days to process and do the exercises.
Each chapter varies in length and intensity and includes:
- a corresponding video you can watch after reading
- creativity prompts and exercises intended to build your soul muscles
What you'll need:
- A computer with internet access
- A minimum of 3 hours each week - but you can go at your own pace
- An open heart and curious soul
- A decision to show up and act on your soul's behalf (even if Ben and Jerry's acts on your mouth's behalf)
- A willingness to be vulnerable. To greet yourself in ways that are tender, curious and altruistic.
What I'll give you:
- The THRIVEOLOGY workbook in PDF format
- video messages to correspond with each chapter
- Questions, prompts and exercises designed to assist with AHA moments
- A resource guide for my favorite thriving films, books and other media
- A tribe who wants to live as soulfully, as lustily as you do
