Authentic boundaries
Effortless boundaries from the inside out.
When it comes to boundaries, we’re taught to approach it from the outside-in. We notice the areas where we do not ‘stand up for ourselves’ or ‘protect our space’ or whatever it is that we’re supposed to be guarding, (or the opposite: where we protect our space too strongly) and then are supposed to change our behaviour around these things.
Have you ever tried to enact a boundary and it doesn’t land well?
It’s usually because your insides don’t match your outsides.
People might hear your words, but they *feel* what’s underneath.
When what’s underneath doesn’t match what you’re saying, then it takes a whole lot of strength and willpower to act different on the surface.
This is pushing culture mentality: everything has to be efforted and forced. It works, but it’s not the only way.
Connecting with the core of your being, learning what your heart’s immediate reaction to something is,
learning how to heal the things you learned about boundaries
learning how to express your wants and not-wants authentically, with ease
That’s another way.
-This is when you express yourself without even thinking about it, and the people around you feel the power of it.
-This is when you express something that you don’t want and people don’t question it.
-This is when you are able to compromise from a place of connection and compassion, not because you feel forced into it, but because you feel so secure in the core of your being that you know bending wont break you.
-This is how to have boundaries, or energetic edges, that bring you closer to the people you love, because you are showing them who you are, and how to love you better.
And this is how you give permission to the people around you to do the same.
Authentic Boundaries is a 3-week course that will be starting in September, 2022 (either the first or second week).
This is an opportunity to pre-register for it at a significant discount, before all the details have been worked out fully.
Here’s what I do know:
-The community aspect of this course will be on Facebook.
-There will be written materials and videos. There will be an option for people who do not want to be on Facebook, but it will not have the community discussion aspect of the course (the written materials, Zoom meetings, and Q&A replays, however, will be available to anyone).
-You do not have to attend the Zoom meetings live- replays will be available and questions can be submitted beforehand for the Q&As.
-The *live* part will last 3 weeks, but you’ll have access to the materials for a year, maybe more.
-It is going to be a deep and intense (but fun, I promise!) energetic journey: you will be held, you will be deeply supported, and you’ll be changed from the inside out.
-ALL the content is written, the journey set, the exercises recorded :).
-The Zoom meetings will be held on weekdays, between 10am and 3pm Pacific time. I do not mean they will last 5 hours, just that they will be scheduled to start between 10am and 3pm, and will last an hour to an hour and a half. I try to change up the times a bit, to fit in people in different time zones.
Here’s what I don’t know:
-Exact dates (it’ll start the First or Second week of September and run for 3 weeks: there will be daily readings, and 1 or 2 Zooms a week)
-Exact format (how much will be written, how much will be on Zoom)
-Whether it’ll be a social and interactive class (on a platform like Mighty Networks that allows interaction), or a class where you work through the materials yourself (there would still be Q&As, so that you can ask questions and receive feedback and support).
If you’d like to pre-register, the cost is $555 for the course. To pre-register CLICK HERE. (I’ll then add you to the list and keep you apprised via email).
The price will go up to $777 on July 23rd, and up to $1222 when the course opens to the public on August 1st.
I am also going to have 2 places available for a combination of this course plus 3 months of private mentorship with me: the cost will be $4444, and to apply for one of these places please email me to rebecca@wonderbotanica.com to find out more and go through the application process.
