WAY OF THE BUTTERFLY
“Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?” - Mary Oliver
What Does It Mean To Be Embodied?
Freeing ourselves from the distortions, the baggage, the adaptations, the stories, the roles, the masks. Allowing our Souls to shine forth as we embrace this incredible gift of life.
Embodiment is an unfolding process of becoming more and more of ourselves, clearing away the detritus, the judgments, the impositions, discovering who we truly are and living into our potential.
Recognizing that our bodies are of the Earth and of the Stars. Our bodies continuously change and evolve. Our bodies are mysterious.
Our bodies are also places of pain and shame and too often of transgressions both by ourselves and others.
Almost from the time of our birth, we are told that our bodies are wrong, dangerous, dirty, not enough, too much, embarrassing, something to be desired, shameful, something to be controlled, to be ignored, to push past, . . .
If a Butterfly’s wings can cause a storm half-way around the world, what would happen if you stood in sacred embodiment?
Our Bodies Are Storytellers. Our Bodies Are Shapeshifters. Our Bodies Are Revolutionary.
Our body offers our most sacred, most encompassing relationship across our life. And this relationship shapes and affects all other relationships.
We both inform and are informed by the space(s) in which we inhabit: the Land, the energies, the culture, the beliefs. When we shed the old paradigm, the stories, we free ourselves to remove the distortions, that which diminishes us, to choose an enlivened existence.
In Way of the Butterfly, we explore the power and intelligence of our bodies. Learning how to tap into this for a more embodied, Soul-aligned life. Together we unravel the stories and beliefs that have kept us separate and small.
As we begin to embrace our Sacred role as creators and dreamers, we write a new story for ourselves, for our World. A story based on a Love ethic, where we not only survive, but thrive, where magic is part of our everyday lives, and where we bravely stand in the Truth of our Being.
What’s more we create this story through joy as part of a small, supportive community held in a container of Love. Working in community helps to amplify our own healing and growth process.
Our Bodies Are Humorous. Our Bodies Are Wise. Our Bodies Contain A Universe.
THE EXPERIENCE
Overview
Way of the Butterfly is a six month long, live online class, ceremony, and community co-created to empower you to reclaim your Truth, your magic, your story.
We will start our exploration with an opening ceremony, creating our circle and loving container. We then gather twice a month for discussions and experiences. Each gathering has a focus with suggested follow up exercises, designed to support your evolution. Our private community platform enables you to share your experiences and receive guidance from our wise community members, including Jen Frey.
A reflection call is held at the end of each month. This is a great time to share insights, revelations, stories or ask questions and receive support. This course is for you; participate as much or as little as you are able to or desire.
Month One
HEART INTELLIGENCE/FOUNDATIONS
We begin our journey of exploration by creating our communal container of Love. We engage in the power of our Heart’s intelligence, learning methods to open us to a world of magic. Our bodies guide us back into communion. Our understanding of our body expands as we explore ki’s relationship with the foundational elements and seven directions. Through this framework we have a better understanding of how we inform and are informed by the space we inhabit.
You will experience:
A Loving Community • The Magic of the Heart • Self-Love • Embodied Foundational Elements • Seven Directions • Aligning with Love
Month Two
ENERGY HYGIENE/SPIRITUAL BELONGING
This month we focus on our energy body or energetic containers knowing that the purity of the container is the most important aspect of alchemy. We explore protection, boundary setting, and methods for clearing our energy. We also explore how our relationship with Nature impacts our energy body, discovering ways we can enhance our Spiritual belonging, helping our Souls shine.
You will experience:
The Power of your Thoughts • Energy Hygiene • Clearing your Energy Body • Grounding • Principles of Co-Creative Partnership • Spiritual Belonging • Connecting with Nature
Month Three
BODY INTELLIGENCE/SHIFTING PERSPECTIVES
Our bodies are wise, magical, and Sacred. They offer us unlimited guidance if we know how to listen to them. As we tap into the intelligence of our bodies, we recover our voice, strengthening our intuition. We will explore the power and gifts of our emotions.
Our investigation of the stories that have shaped us begins with a broad lens, looking at the narratives that have shaped our culture including colonialism, patriarchy, white-bodied supremacy . . . We tease out where these threads live in our bodies, examine our implicit biases, and shift our perspective to see the world with a different lens.
You will experience:
Your Body as an Intelligent Being • The Messages of Your Emotions • Strengthening Your Intuition • Healing the Culture of Colonialism • Investigating Implicit Biases • Shifting our Perspectives
Month Four
Restorying/Healing Our Trauma
Our restorying continues this month as we consider the beliefs and stories that trained and shaped us. Pulling at the threads to extract those that cause a dissonance and interfere with our Truth. We also look at the gifts that these may have presented and practice reframing them, so that we can experience the world more liberated and aligned.
Our explorations include understanding the impacts of trauma on our lives, learning skills to help us navigate and release the trauma, while sorting through the adaptations to discover who we truly are. As we release ourselves from the weight of trauma, we also free our Ancestors and future generations. We become the cycle breakers, allowing a new existence to emerge.
You will experience:
Releasing Unconscious Patterns • Restorying yourself • Ancestral Healing • Trauma Overview • Cycle Breaking • Increasing your Resilliency • Trauma extraction
Month Five
Sacred Creativity/Engaging with the Unseen
Now that we’ve done the work of releasing the dross, we get to play with the infinite possibilities. This month we explore our sacred creativity. Recognizing that our imagination and creativity are our super power, allowing us to shape the world around us by bringing the unknown into the known.
Engaging with our creative forces, we realize that we are never alone. We are surrounded by support and guidance. We will learn and strengthen our skills for engaging with the Unseen to discover answers and experience new ways of being.
You will experience:
Creativity as a Super Power • How to Play with Time • Manifesting potential • Engaging with the Unseen • Dowsing • Shamanic Journeying • Meeting Your Wise One • Accessing Divine Consciousness
Month Six
Co-Creative Partnership/Creating a New Story
Our relationship with the Unseen continues as we engage with our more-than-human kin including Faeries, Devas, and Nature Spirits. Engaging in co-creative partnership allows us to work with the energies of the Universe to create more effortlessly and successfully. We discover that the Universe conspires to support our Heart’s yearning, Suddenly we realize that we belong to a large community of Love and support. Synchronicity and magic become a part of our daily lives.
As our course comes to a close, we engage with our Future selves to create a new story, for ourselves based in an ethic of Love, visioning the world of our Hearts. Sharing our stories helps them to take form as we explore how to fully embody them.
While our calls will end, the program is designed to provide a foundation of practice to continue your evolution through your relationship with your body, Nature, and Spirit. The exercises and skills you learned are open-ended enabling you to engage with them again and again in new ways to further your exploration and understanding.
