Event Details
Empowered Community Day
This is a new kind of event ...
One that's committed to living and practicing the Vision and Values described below. With all of us on the same page, we're able to play full out.
We're evolving a community that creates events where we can:
-
Play,
-
Nurture,
-
Challenge each other to be our best and fullest selves.
One important aspect of this community is that it’s not just a separate utopia; it's a place to gain the ability to be more powerful, open and loving in the real world -- and thereby transform who you are, and how you show up in the rest of your life.
Have you ever wanted to ...
-
Fully connect to yourself as you
-
Playfully connect to others, and still
-
Powerfully accomplish your goals?
What would it be like to ...
Surround yourself with people who are living into their juicy future rather than protecting themselves from their painful past?
WholeBody
Wisdom is delighted to announce its next

The Purpose of WholeBody Wisdom is to empower and integrate all parts of yourself -- so that you can be:
-
Passionate,
-
Powerful,
-
Open, and
-
Loving
in the face of real world challenges.
WholeBody Wisdom
is based on the belief that we are the most powerful and free when we have integrated all parts of ourselves into one healthy system.
This system includes the mental body, the physical body, the
emotional body,
the intuitive body and the sexual body.
When each body is aligned with our core essence, and the bodies are
synergistically functioning together -- we can experience the greatest peace of mind
as we joyfully serve ourselves, our relationships and the world around us.
We believe that each body has valid wants, needs, desires and concerns.
These need to be, at the very least, heard and acknowledged.
Each body also has unique wisdom, strength and guidance to share with the other areas of the self. We are at our wisest when we are able to hold court listening to the interests, concerns and wisdom of each part of ourselves. Not being controlled by any one, but being advised and supported by them all.
WholeBody Wisdom offers workshops & private sessions which help men, women and couples embody powerful ways of being that can transform their life, their relationships, and the world around them.
