Between Your Work and the World: Befriend Your Nervous System and Expand Your Capacity To Share Your Work

Turn the vulnerable space between finishing a project and sharing it into a pathway of strength. In this 6-week journey, you’ll learn to move through fear of visibility, self-doubt, and anxiety with embodied tools and supportive practices. 

We’ll work with a blend of somatic nervous system practices, mindfulness meditation, and archetype reflections to support you in moving through fears of visibility. You’ll learn concrete skills for calming anxiety, grounding your body before and after sharing, and expanding your tolerance for being seen. Together we’ll design personalized daily routines that anchor you in steadiness and help you return to safety when self-doubt arises. Each session includes opportunities to practice sharing in ways that strengthen confidence, so that by the end you’ll have both the inner tools and the outer support to cross the threshold from private creation to public expression with greater ease.

• Weekly Guideposts

  Each session begins and ends with practices that build skills in presence and nervous system regulation, including the Loop of Awareness, Fear Melters, and Rapid Rest. The first hour focuses on somatic and mindfulness exercises. The second hour centers on archetype reflection, drawing from Kim Krans’s The Wild Unknown Archetypes, and practicing sharing within breakout groups.
