For many of us, joy can feel just as vulnerable as sadness or fear. We see this so often in our COR workshops—feeling joy and gratitude can leave us feeling exposed, especially in front of others. Joy naturally opens your heart, which can make it feel...
Scientifically proven: Joy opens us & helps us grow!

From Being to Doing: The Call to “Right Action”
As most of you know, our work goes very deep into your inner world, into the psychosomatic, mental and spiritual aspects of our being. We really dig “in there” and it is a beautiful, raw and real interior process. But what do we do with all this inner transformation...
