Lição 1
Presence - If You're Not Present, Where Are You?
This first lesson, all about the "P" of Presence, is where we crack open the secret to a lighter life! We'll explore the idea of being on autopilot, lost in thought, and missing out on the magic of the here and now. Through a personal story about riding a horse, we'll tackle a critical question: If we're not present, where are we? The answer? Disconnected from the natural state of lightness and ease that's already within us! This lesson sets the stage for the course, as we learn to simply be present and rediscover the inherent joy and lightheartedness that's waiting to be awakened.

Get ready to let go of the need for external validation and reconnect with the lightness that's always been there, waiting to be rediscovered.

All About Attachments
In lesson 3, A = All About Attachments, we'll explore the natural human tendency to attach our well-being to external things like achievements, finding the perfect partner, things going to plan , or even our appearance.

By identifying these attachments, and challenging them you'll start a process of detachment and reconnect with your innate sense of peace, confidence, and resilience.

Lição 6
Understanding The System Is Key
Have you ever tried building something with missing instructions? In Lesson 6: Understanding the System is Key, we'll explore why understanding how things work can be the difference between between smooth sailing and constant struggle. As Ludwig Wittgenstein says, " A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door thats unlocked and opens inwards , as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push." Understanding "the system" is the key to a smoother, more less serious journey through life!
