Course schedule

This course is limited to just 7 people so that my instruction and our discussions are personal, private, and memorable.

A private, intimate experience

This course builds on live workshops and hands-on projects to create an environment that produces deliverables and reflection. I'll teach a concept, show you an example, give you an exercise, and then you'll do it. You'll learn by doing, not watching. The intent is to create drafts of your content that you can then refine outside the live session as needed. I will spend 7+ hours with you during live sessions and an optional 6 hours for office hours.

Active hands-on learning, not passive watching

Connect and engage with like-minded people who want to learn and grow alongside you. Collaborating and helping each other through exercise will answer common questions and ensure each person makes progress.

Learn with a cohort of peers

The deliverables you create and internalize are key to enabling your transformation. I will hold a one-hour office hour weekly to provide personalized feedback and answer questions. My role as a coach is to pose questions that help you gain deeper awareness and not offer advice as you know yourself best.

Personalized guidance and feedback

We'll have a private Slack channel for our cohort to post questions and answers, small wins, and provide the support that helps us build consciousness and energy.

Cohort collaboration

Learning is way better with cohorts, with personalized guidance from an expert coach
