It’s hard to know yourself. Old notions of who you are from family, confusion about your fantasies and desires, even others’ demands and disappointments cloud your sense of who you are. “Who you are” is vast. You are multiple selves, memories, ancestral and familial spirits, past lives, human and non-human beings. Many intuitive people are connected to other people’s energies and can’t always distinguish outside needs from their own.
In this course, we are going to learn to trust our imaginations to connect with the wildly creative, vivid psychic forces within. We will learn how to lovingly connect with others in ways that far exceed giving predictions to expand our sense of what it means to be in relationship to the world. The good news is that we don’t need physical proximity. We can feel each other globally.
This course will teach you how to connect with your own imagery (visual, aural, sensorial), your heart and the quality of your love, your creativity, your sexuality, and ancestral and familial voices. We will learn tools for seeing and acknowledging the vast and glorious selves we host with but are often shy to know.
