Unlearning the Stories We Tell Ourselves: Living the Four Agreements A 5-Part Personal Growth Series   So many of us are living from stories we didn’t consciously choose—stories shaped by past experiences, expectations, assumptions, and old emotional patterns. Over time, those stories quietly influence how we speak to ourselves, how we relate to others, and how much freedom we allow ourselves to experience.   This five-part series invites you to slow down, reflect, and intentionally unlearn the stories that no longer serve you, using The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz as a practical and compassionate guide.   Rather than approaching the book as a purely intellectual exercise, this series focuses on real-life application. Together, we’ll explore how the Four Agreements show up in your inner dialogue, relationships, boundaries, and emotional responses—and how gently shifting these patterns can create more clarity, self-trust, and inner peace.   Each session will include guided reflection, group discussion, experiential activities, and opportunities for personal insight. Participants will read The Four Agreements throughout the series and engage in prompts and practices designed to help integrate the teachings into everyday life.   Series Details Dates: Wednesdays, April 29 – May 28, 2026 Time: 6:00 – 8:00 PM Format: 5-part in-person series Location: Hybrid - Remote via Zoom or In Person at 2571 Davis Road, Corning, NY Required Reading: The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz (Included with registration - read throughout the series) Participants are encouraged to attend all five sessions, as the work builds week to week and deepens over time. We understand that life happens—if you need to miss a session, you will be provided with reading guidance and reflection activities to help you stay connected and on track with the group.   This Series Is For You If You’re Ready To: Become more aware of the stories you tell yourself—and where they came from Reduce self-criticism, emotional reactivity, and people-pleasing Strengthen self-trust and inner clarity Practice the Four Agreements in a grounded, real-life way Create more freedom, compassion, and intentionality in your daily life This is not about being perfect or “doing it right.” It’s about noticing, unlearning, and choosing differently—one agreement at a time.

One-Day In-Person Workshop   Your nervous system is doing its best—but chronic stress, burnout, trauma, and constant “on” mode can keep your body stuck in survival long after the threat has passed.   This one-day, in-person workshop is designed to help you reset your nervous system using practical, body-based tools that support regulation, resilience, and self-love. We’ll move beyond surface-level self-care and explore how breath, vagus nerve exercises, energy practices, and compassionate awareness can help restore balance to both body and mind.   Many of us try to create change through mindset work alone—using affirmations, visualization, or positive thinking—only to feel frustrated when those tools don’t stick. The reality is that lasting change isn’t possible when the nervous system doesn’t feel safe. Until the body experiences safety, our system resists change, no matter how much we want it or how clearly we can envision it.   This workshop focuses on regulating the nervous system first, creating the internal safety needed to support meaningful shifts in thinking, behavior, and self-belief. Rather than forcing calm or “thinking our way through,” we’ll learn how to work with the body so change becomes possible—and sustainable.   In this workshop, you’ll explore: How stress, burnout, and trauma impact the nervous system Why mindset tools like affirmations and visualization don’t work when the body feels unsafe Why self-care alone is often not enough for true regulation Simple vagus nerve exercises you can use anywhere Breath and body-based practices to support calm and clarity Energy practices to help reset and restore balance Self-compassion as a powerful physiological intervention How to create a realistic nervous system reset plan for daily life This workshop blends education, experiential practices, guided reflection, and integration in a supportive, trauma-informed space. You’ll leave with tools you can actually use—and a deeper understanding of how safety in the body supports clarity, confidence, and change.   This workshop is for you if: You’ve tried affirmations, visualization, or mindset work that hasn’t fully landed You feel chronically overwhelmed, exhausted, or on edge You struggle to relax, even when you “should” be able to You’re navigating burnout, transition, or ongoing stress You want practical tools—not theory or toxic positivity You’re ready to treat self-love as something you practice, not just think about   Workshop Details: Date: Saturday, May 16 Time: 10:00am–4:00pm Format: In-person only Lunch: Included   Limited Registration To ensure a grounded, personal, and supportive experience, space is limited. Early registration is strongly encouraged.
