“Wild Hearted Woman - Present and Conscious” - by Uma Joy
What will we do during these 12 weeks?
The Intention is to take steps towards further Awakening to our Selves, our Souls, and our beautiful lives in this amazing (sometimes crazy) world. When we Awaken by Choice, we become more conscious to each moment and realize we have choices as to how we are showing up.
We will take these steps through connection with each other (community), guided meditations, movement, gentle writing prompts, painting (it’s ok if you have never painted) and more.
Why now?
Now is the TIME! The world is changing. It is essential that we awaken in a way that takes care of ourselves, each other and our Great Mother Earth. It is time that we treat each other with kindness and compassion. It is time for us to make a conscious choice HOW we want to be in this world. We have a choice of stepping into the fullness of who we are. And the Truth is we are Magnificent! Amazing! Beautiful! Just somewhere along the way we forgot!
Why would I do that with painting?
We will incorporate painting as well as other creative forms. What we know to be true (and backed by science), is that we access internal information in a different way when we incorporate creativity. We also are able to anchor the awarenss and experiences when we utilize as many senses as we can access. Having a painting and other creative processes in your tool bag will also give you the reminder (the artifact) “I did the work!”
Why this format and with Uma Joy?
It is pretty tough to cover what we want to cover in less than the 12 weeks, yet there is not a need to drag it on and on. There is always more we can do, yet when we keep it concise it is easier to stay focused on the process.
Most of us don’t have the luxury to leave home for 12 weeks and come stay in Taos to do the whole thing in person, yet, the community connection is very valuable. So we meet together over zoom, emails and whatever other resources we can utilize.
As for with me? This is my life’s work and everything I believe in, what I do in my life and what I see is a powerful, successful tool to move forward. I have done these processes, taught these tools, lived my life in this way. I am not perfect by any means, AND everything in me knows Love, Kindness, compassion, and awakening allow us to have a more peaceful, loving life on this planet. My experiences allow me to HEAR the pain people are experiencing, what they are calling for and desperately want in their lives. We can have that! and we can take the steps to have it now!
