The World Health Organization defines ‘Health’ as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

In the summer of 2023, I hosted a 30-day health and healing challenge for my Facebook mentoring community, Real Awakening, to encourage health and healing in alignment with our personal goals. Because the content of the work we did together was so supportive, and is in no way time-bound, to the year or to the season, I’ve made the program available as a self-paced curriculum of practice for the first time, complete with reviews, practicum and assignments.

  • Overcome Emotional Stagnation and Mental Habituation
  • Cultivate Presence and Intentional Focus
  • Consciously Design Your Future Path of Spiritual Health and Life Practices
  • Engage the Mind in Fresh Pursuits of Living and Joy
  • Develop Mindfulness
  • Enliven Your Body and Hone Your Heart-Mind
  • Make Self-Care the Rule, Not Just the Need

All at your own pace, in your own time, according to your own desire for outcomes and needs.

This challenge will take you through 5 weeks of body-mind nourishing content, with lectures, guided meditations and suggestions for tweaking lifestyle in a way guaranteed to support your overall wellbeing for a lifetime.
