What if we could stop spending so much energy trying to appear like we have it all together?

What if we could simply show up as ourselves?

What might change in your life if you truly believed you were already enough, exactly as you are?.

What if we could stop spending so much energy trying to appear like we have it all together?

Have you ever felt like you weren't quite enough?

Not successful enough. Not confident enough. Not doing life quite right?

Or maybe you've replayed something you said or did, wishing you could go back and change it.

There's a BIG difference between believing "I made a mistake" and "I AM a mistake."

One allows us to learn and grow. The other can leave us feeling unworthy of love and belonging

The more we hide our shame, the stronger it can become.
The courage to be vulnerable can actually bring us closer to others. Being compassionate doesn't mean having no boundaries.

And perhaps most importantly, we don't have to be perfect to be worthy of connection.

Think about that for a moment.

In our final workshop, From Insight to Integration, we’re going to become Pattern Detectives—curiously exploring the automatic reactions, hidden rules, and beliefs that may still be quietly running in the background.

Why do we overthink?
Why do we say yes when we want to say no?
Why do we procrastinate, overwork, shut down, people-please, or expect the worst?

And here’s the bigger question:

What was that pattern originally trying to protect you from?

Instead of judging the pattern, we’ll practice reframing it:

“What’s wrong with me?” becomes
“What was this trying to do for me?”

Then we take the next step—recognizing what may no longer be true, releasing the old rule, and choosing a new response.

✨ Insight helps us understand the pattern.
✨ Curiosity helps us uncover it.
✨ Reframing helps us see it differently.
✨ Integration helps us stop letting it make our choices.

Come curious! You may discover that one of your most frustrating patterns makes much more sense than you ever realized.

Recognize the pattern. Release the old rule. Choose a new response.

I hope everyone can join us August 23 for the last in the series. You are welcome to join even if you didn't attend the others. Understanding our trauma or things we don't like is the 1st step. We NEED to let body know "Game is Over!"

Yesterday, August 2nd we dove in to the touchy reasons people do the things they do. We all want rest, to receive help, be seen, support, speak up (but resist). It is not laziness, weakness or lack of will power. It is more likely an AUTOMATIC programs. Where did they come from? A younger version of you who was trying to be safe, loved, successful or accepted. More insight next Sunday:)

Your subconscious is always listening.

It does not understand sarcasm. It does not know when you are “just kidding.” It simply records what you repeat, feel, imagine, and identify with — and then quietly runs the show from behind the scenes.

So what are you telling it?
In this Sundays workshop we will practice creating clear intentions, shifting into the emotion of already receiving, choosing words that support what we desire, taking aligned action, and surrendering the outcome.

You will leave with a clear intention, a powerful reset, new connections, and one aligned step to take next.

IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU MISSED THE OTHERS! This is for ANYONE ready to stop forcing, start receiving, and become a match for what they truly desire.

Needy energy is a turn off. Attaching to an outcome creates suffering. When you let go of trying to control ....It may turn out better than you could ever imagined!

What if the shift you’ve been looking for could begin in 60 seconds?

This Sunday, June 28th, at 12:30 pm in the downstairs gathering room at Unity Church; We will learn about the magic of the heart, experience and practice heart-centered states like appreciation, calm, and love. It is MAGICAL HOW POWERFUL THIS STATE IS FOR CHANGE.

We can all agree that the world as we know it is falling apart but when we come together and experience how changing your inner state can change how you feel, connect, and show up in the world. Bonus... everyone benefits..

These pictures are from Sunday's "Power of Intention" class where we experienced the effect thoughts have on one other, other people and plants. We explored the science, stories, and experiences behind intention and group focus. We were all supporting one another and I made some new friends. I hope everyone returns next Sunday and all are welcome to come to these free gatherings (even if you can only make one).

Next weeks topic is how emotional state changes the quality of intention. We will practice shifting from fear and effort into love/coherence.

Thank you Iris Meyers and Nikki Nakdemin for the collaboration in our desire to strengthen and support relationships, the community and personal growth

HOW DOES YOUR BODY REACT DIFFERENTLY WHEN YOU THINK A HAPPY THOUGHT AS OPPOSED TO a sad, bad, neutral thought? You might be surprised.

(disclaimer: we all experience ups and downs. This is for the informational purpose to think about your thinking.

Same situation, DIFFERENT BRAIN CHEMISTRY.`

The brain tags your thoughts as safe, dangerous, meaningful, sad, joyful, etc.

Positive thoughts create neurotransmitters that boost attention, learning, muscle signaling�, pain relief, pleasure, bonding, calming, inhibition� motivation, reward, pursuit�, and mood regulation, emotional stability�, excitation, learning, memory�

Negative thoughts increase stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, helping the body prepare for danger or demand.

This can tighten your body, upset digestion, increase racing thoughts, and train your brain to keep scanning for what is wrong.

A repeated thought pattern can become a repeated state. A repeated state can become a familiar body chemistry.

Repeated fear trains the brain to scan for danger.

�Repeated gratitude trains the brain to notice support.�

Repeated intention trains the brain to organize attention, emotion, and action toward a chosen outcome.
