COURSE
Facing Our Fears
With Jonathan Lehmann
Fear is a profound human experience that we all experience regularly, from the small worries about the day ahead to the deeper anxieties that inhibit us from fully engaging in life. The problem with fear is not so much that we experience it, but rather that we tend to repress it, in such a way that it ends up unconsciously controlling and restricting us. However, fear itself is nothing to be afraid of: when we approach fear with acceptance and curiosity, we discover its true purpose as a benevolent ally helping us to navigate the world safely. The purpose of this course is to help you develop a conscious relationship with your fear. We will practice viewing our fear as an essential member of our family of emotions, and as a precious source of information that helps us to better understand what matters most to us, and to live our lives more authentically and meaningfully. Throughout these 10 days of Facing our Fears, we’ll engage with transformative ideas and practices that move us towards a deeper sense of peace, authenticity, and audacity. To help us lead happier lives.

Thank you Jonathan this course has been very helpful, I took my time and repeat some of the lessons over and over. The fear of death was really good, I realize what’s important to me and decided to reduce the hours I work. I recommend effective to listen to it. Namaste 🙏🏻👏👏🍀🌻🕊️😀

This course moves at a perfect pace to connect the mind and the body in a process that helps you to develop awareness of and reorient things that you may not have realised are holding you back. The teacher has a calm and soothing voice and uses a consistent structure for each lesson.

This was a great course covering all the different types of fear, basing in breath, facing fears and allowing them to be an ally, the wonderful affirmations, and thought provoking questions. You have a wonderful, calm voice and this was easy to follow and settle in. ✌🏽🩵🙏🏽

Very important and sweet! Thank you for all the info. Reminding me to breathe and allowing space are what I will focus on when I am fearful! I will repeat some of these again!

Fear is such a negative driver. This course has provided instruction on Acknowledging the fears, Naming them, feeling where there’s tension in my body as a result of those fears, and learning ways of moving forward in important new ways - I feel like I have a smirk on my face …knowing that I’m aware of a fear yet still doing the activity that I acknowledge is/has been fear-inducing. This course is empowering.
