COURSE
With Clare Downham
There are moments when the anxious feelings seem too loud to ignore. You might find yourself scanning your body for symptoms, avoiding things that once felt normal, or wondering if you’ll ever feel fully calm again. If that’s where you are, this course is a gentle place to begin. Rather than offering more tools to fix anxiety, it invites you to see it in a new way. Through the lens of the 3 Principles, you’ll explore how your experience is created and how anxiety, though uncomfortable, is not a sign that anything is wrong with you. Together, we’ll look at the subtle ways fear of the feeling keeps it alive, how control and avoidance shrink our lives, and how a simple pause can allow your nervous system to reset. You’ll meet metaphors, stories, and insights that gently shift your perspective, moving you away from pressure and closer to peace. This course is especially supportive if you feel caught in the cycle of overthinking, if you’ve grown tired of trying to manage your emotional world, or if you’ve been looking for a kinder way to meet anxiety without adding more to your to-do list. It’s not about becoming unshakable. It’s about realising that even when you shake, you’re still whole. The teachings here don’t require effort or mastery. They ask only for a little space, a little listening, and the willingness to look in a new direction. If something in this feels like a relief or a curiosity, you’d like to follow you’re warmly invited to begin.
