Story:

Having a chronic symptoms/illness is a lot like being lost in the woods. The way forward is not clear, it’s confusing and scary, you can feel quite alone and many people seem to be hocking magic cure-alls. But you’ve learned (clever girl!) most of this just gets you lost deeper in the darkness. Imagine then, through the trees you see a lantern glowing. A lantern calling you close. And from that lantern, you can light your own lamp and carry it with you as you walk. There is no prince charming or knight in shining armor to save you my dear. You know this. To get out of the woods you are going to need to walk yourself, one step at a time. It’s not another cleanse. It’s not a magic quick fix. It doesn’t deny or negate the shitstorm you’ve been through. It’s real, honest, practical work that is absolutely essential to healing.

This 10 session series is designed as a way haven, a roadside inn, a refuge for those on their journey through the woods.

This is not simply a course of study, more notes to take or another list of impractical “to do’s”. It’s not a quick fix and it’s not a magic pill. Inside this supportive group container that informs and guides, you will put knowledge into action. You will start to learn what it takes to nourish yourself (body, mind, soul). And by showing up and being courageously vulnerable, you will light the lanterns for other lost in the woods.

Many of us, especially those of us with chronic, autoimmune or mystery illness know that making the simple, basic changes in day-to-day life necessary for healing is hard. We can’t do it alone. We shouldn’t have to do it alone. And we certainly shouldn’t have to fight so gosh-darn hard against the ever growing tide of ultra-processed food, toxic chemicals, disconnected medical specialists, social media nonsense and global trauma in order to do it.

Each 90 min meeting will provide:

• a supportive community container for learning, conversation and personal growth

• specific medical/science/biochemistry information about the health topic at hand

• An emphasis on WHY it is important

• Space for discussion on practical implementation, common challenges, pitfalls, strategies and comparing notes

• A curated environment (bubble, oasis?) within the over-culture that is making us sick

• Options for homework, courageous vulnerability, group support and celebration

• Handouts and resources in order to dig deeper
