Lektion 1
Many Kinds Of Strength
We have many types of strength - physical, emotional, endurance, courage, and compassionate presence. You are invited to reflect and notice any internal responses to the phrase "I am strong and resilient". We explore personal memories of strength, and recognize that resilience takes many forms and evolves over time. This class offers gentle encouragement to recognize and honor your unique strength today, exactly as it is, without judging or striving for perfection.
Lektion 2
Managing A Change In Our Capacity
Strength and resilience shift over time. Through grounding and inquiry, we explore the personal experience of our changing capacity of physical, emotional, and mental strength. We reflect on moments of loss, frustration, and wisdom. A compassion practice offers space to meet these changes with kindness rather than judgment. We close by affirming that honoring our present capacity is a vital form of strength. This short but powerful class invites us to befriend our evolving selves with understanding and grace.
Lektion 3
Connecting With Each Other For Strength
This week we highlight the healing power of connection during challenging times. After getting grounded in our body, participants reflect on memories of being supported by others and how this strengthens resilience. Gentle movement helps release freeze patterns, inviting the body to embody safety and connection. We explore how leaning into supportive relationships, even in small ways, helps us cultivate inner and outer strength. People are not meant to be alone. Collective strength can carry us through uncertainty with greater courage and hope.
Lektion 4
Rest Is Resistance
Rest is not a luxury. It is a revolutionary act. Our culture pushes constant productivity and we need to reclaim rest to build our resilience. Through breath awareness and inquiry, we explore how overwork depletes our bodies, minds, and spirits. We visualize a world centered in justice, where rest and restoration are honored. We feel the spaciousness of rest in our bodies and hearts. Rest is an act of self-love, resistance, and strength.
Lektion 5
Rest Is Generative – What Have I Missed Because Of Exhaustion?
Exhaustion depletes our creativity, joy, and inner wisdom. Through grounding and reflection, we consider what dreams, stories, or parts of ourselves may have been suppressed by chronic busyness. A guided daydreaming practice invites imagination to flow freely, reconnecting with our dynamic life force within. We inquire into current obstacles to resting fully, and we honor the courage it takes to release our limiting beliefs. We reclaim spaciousness, creativity, and vitality through the sacred practice of rest.
Lektion 6
Strength Of Mind Through Meditation
Here we explore how meditation strengthens the mind and helps us access deeper layers of resilience. We reflect on how conditioning, trauma, and core deficiency beliefs impact mental patterns. Through guided meditation and inquiry, we connect with the stillness beneath surface thoughts and nervous system reactivity. A breathing mantra practice ("So Ham") supports focus, calm, and inner strength. By cultivating steadiness and awareness, we build the capacity to respond rather than react. This session offers a pathway to deepen clarity, emotional stability, and trust in our true nature beyond circumstances.
Lektion 7
Grounded In Awareness In Unsettling Times
How do we stay grounded even in the midst of fear and uncertainty? We connect to the support of our body and breath, then explore somatic inquiries around surrendering control and trusting life as it unfolds. Through simple breathing practices and visualization, we experience the vastness of Presence and the safety found in grounded Awareness. We soften the grip of fear while honoring our vulnerability. Through direct experience, we access our inner knowing of deep wisdom, resilience, and stability available to us even in unsettling times.
Lektion 8
Resourcing Ourselves Through Joy
Joy is a powerful resource for resilience. We reconnect with moments of happiness, beauty, and playfulness. Through sensory awareness, memory exploration, and gentle movement, we cultivate joy as a stabilizing force. We remember childhood delights, nourishing friendships, and we celebrate small daily pleasures. By accessing joy even when life is difficult, we strengthen our nervous systems and build emotional resilience. This uplifting practice reminds us that joy is essential nourishment for a strong and resilient life.
