Our brains and bodies are constantly learning from our lives. The experiences we have, the emotions attached to them, and the meaning we make from them become patterns that shape what we expect, what feels safe, how we relate to other people, and what we believe is possible for us. Eventually, those patterns can become so familiar that they stop feeling like something we learned and start feeling like who we are.
We'll explore some of the neuroscience behind how that happens, how to begin distinguishing your own intuition from conditioning, fear, and outside expectation, and why consciously understanding a pattern isn't always enough to change it.
And then we'll go beyond understanding it.
Through guided reflection and a group hypnosis experience, you'll have an opportunity to move beneath some of the analysis and outside noise, experience your mind differently, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have gotten quieter along the way.
DURING THE EVENING, WE'LL EXPLORE:
How experience becomes pattern
Why repeated experiences, emotions, and expectations can begin shaping the way you perceive yourself, your relationships, and what's possible for you.
Intuition vs. conditioning
How to begin recognizing the difference between your own internal knowing and the fears, expectations, and patterns you've inherited or learned.
The woman underneath the roles
What becomes available when you stop asking who you're supposed to be and become curious about who you actually are now.
A guided hypnosis experience
We'll finish the evening with an experiential practice that gives you an opportunity to work with these ideas beyond the conscious, analytical mind.
THIS EVENING MAY BE FOR YOU IF...
You love your life and still sometimes wonder where you went. Maybe you're in a season of transition and the person you used to be doesn't quite fit anymore, or you've spent so much time being capable, productive, responsible, or needed that you're not entirely sure what you want outside of those roles.
Maybe you're craving more creativity, pleasure, connection, or aliveness. Maybe you find yourself second-guessing what you know. Or maybe nothing is particularly wrong, but you have a sense that there's more of you that you haven't been fully living.
You don't need to be in crisis, and you don't need to have yourself figured out. You just need to be curious.
COME AS YOU ARE.
This isn't a lecture about becoming a better version of yourself, and it isn't another list of things you need to fix. It's an opportunity to understand some of the patterns that have shaped you, experience your mind differently, and hear yourself a little more clearly.
