Introducing the Building Blocks of Human Technology

Personal development gurus often say things like "you have everything you need" and "you are whole and complete" – which is true. But why do we need to be told this? Why don't we already know it?

I mean, salmon don’t need a workshop on “how to swim upstream in 10 easy steps” and swans don’t buy ebooks entitled “how to stay with your mate for life.” What is our problem?

Well, what I've learned over my 25+ years of working with people is that we are unique from the rest of the animal kingdom in one crucial way: as our lives progress, we can become disconnected from some of the basic elements of being human.

I’ll explain in a minute why that happens, but first, I want you to understand how it works.

It’s called source code.

Now, most of us know this is underneath every single piece of technology we use. We also know that if this source code is missing or corrupt or has even one little character out of place – nothing works.

What most of us don’t know is how to read – or create – this underlying code.

And let’s face it, those who do are in charge of technology. They are the masters of all our gadgets and apps. Our banking, our communication, our social media. All of it.

Now, what if I were to tell you that our human technology has the exact same problem?

Think about it.

Underneath everything you do, there are endless thoughts, sensations, emotions, experiences – all humming away in the background. They inform every single thing about you. They are your source code.

If you can “speak” this code, you are the one in control of your life.

But part of growing up involved presenting as little of this underlying jumble to the world as possible. Most of us were taught to look more like a well-designed and easy-to-use app. One that matched the other apps – in our family, in school, at work. It took years of training, but eventually, we got the hang of it…

Big boys don’t cry.
Good girls keep their legs together.
Go to your room if you’re going to act like that.

And so on, and so on, and SO ON.

With the best of intentions, we were re-programmed to fit in. Until we forgot about that jumble of information underlying what we show to the world. All we feel instead is a vague, uneasy, feeling…

Something’s not quite right.

How many times have you shaken off that feeling? Or maybe you drown it out, or numb it out. But you can’t put your finger on what it is.

I know I did for years. It was like I was fumbling around in the dark. I looked under as many of the rocks in my life as I could lift. My family of origin and the ways they shaped me. Experiences in my life that left a mark. Various habits that held me back and patterns I couldn’t shake.

I blamed other people. Was mad at myself. Even shook my fist at God now and then.

I was convinced there was some secret to life, and everyone else knew it but me.

Well, I was half right! There is a secret.

That jumbled mess we all try so hard to keep under wraps is the very source of our wisdom, our joy, our compassion, our aliveness – our very humanity.

It took a lot of trial and error, but eventually, I cracked the code. Of course, like most things, it was initially elusive but ultimately simple. A sequence of awarenesses and actions that add up to something remarkable: YOU!

Unfiltered, unapologetic, unafraid – you. Go figure.

Reprogram Your Source Code

And Restart Your Life

I've developed a workshop designed to restore fluency in the human source code…and I would like to invite you to join me.

The Source Code Workshop is a 4-day experience that will get you:

Through a vibrant series of activities and explorations, you’ll re-learn how to tune back in to the “jumbled mess” that lives beneath the surface of your life. You’ll finally be able to hear the messages this language is so desperately trying to share with you.

It reveals your hidden desires. Your forgotten longings. Your subtle misgivings. It grants you clarity more quickly, offers you solace and comfort, and delivers you to a more alive, more powerful, more awake, more aware version of yourself. As if the veil that separated you from your wisdom were suddenly pulled aside.

I’m not over-stating it.

By the end of the workshop, you will almost feel as if you are a new person. Except that you’ll be weirdly more comfortable in your own skin than you’ve ever been.

The Most Counter-Intuitive (and Maybe the Most Challenging) Workshop You’ll Ever Attend

This isn’t your average hotel-based conference, where you sit and take notes all day and then go home to figure out how to apply everything you learned. Alone.

This workshop is more experiential in nature — a chance for you to learn new skills and immediately put them into practice.

• You'll instinctively disregard years of programming, because it won’t feel like you anymore. (Hint: it never was.)
   
• You’ll try things you thought were outside of your comfort zone, only to find that your zones are being re-mapped in real time and you’re suddenly open to exploring WAY more than you thought you would.
   
• Your protective armor will fall away, and yet you’ll feel safer than you ever have in a room full of strangers.
   
• All the mean voices in your head will be loved into a profound silence that you’ve never experienced before.
   
• You will unearth a new relationship to your creativity, and find yourself feeling more free to play, to express yourself, to take up space in the world.
   
• All the messages – the ones that told you who other people thought you should be –  begin to fade away. Until you are standing in the pureness of who you are meant to be.

The results of this kind of experience range from profound to subtle, and the applications when you get home can vary as well. That’s really the point...

You won’t be told the secret to your life.

Anyone who tells you they can do that is a bit full of themselves, frankly. (And I truly wish people would stop falling for that nonsense…but I digress.)

Instead, (and even better), you will finally be able to perceive the forgotten language of your own soul.

Which is all you’ve ever really needed to live a life that is aligned with your unique purpose, wisdom, and gifts.
