From Fear to Courage
Requirements
- Come as you are and bring along an open, curious mind and open, compassionate heart!
Description
What would you be doing right now if you weren't afraid? What if judgement didn't scare you?
Fear wants us to stay where we are. It's all about avoiding perceived risks. Fear makes your world smaller and smaller by keeping you from the decisions, choices, and changes that bring you what you've been seeking: peace, joy, meaning, purpose, freedom, and connection.
You're saying, "I'm ready to go out and get it," but fear has a different idea.
Disturbing the peace comes with the territory of change, but this isn't something to fear. You CAN move forward into a more authentic life with clarity and courage.
What is this course about?
This bite-sized course covers fear, courage, and how to move forward through fear. This course is designed to help you transform your fear into courage by seeing where it interferes in your life and what you would be doing differently without it. The goal is to define what authentic living means to you and then take the steps that get you there - even if you've been afraid to do it before.
Course lectures and activities include meditations and worksheets designed to help you tune in to your intuition and go out and get the life that's waiting for you.
