Mixed Modalities Incorporated into Our Journey

---

Stay Present with your own felt physical and emotional experiences.

Express what feels true for you in the moment. 

Periodically check in with yourself to reasses your wants, needs and desires. 

Request feedback or support if desired. 

Respect stated boundaries.

Interact with the intention of understanding and connection. 

Ask questions that arise from a place of genuine curiosity. 

Practice active listening. 

Practice nonviolent communication. 

Notice your assumptions and check them out in reality, with others. If they are wrong, let them go. 

We experience reality subjectively. We are all carrying around stories, perspectives, past experiences, and we sometimes have a tendency to project onto the present moment and people we are interacting with. If you have a story about what's going on, check in with the other person to confirm its validity or learn what their truth is so that you can communicate aligned on the same page.

When we make other people and circumstances the source of our experience, we give away our power. Owning your experience, finding the source of it inside of yourself, gives you back your power so that you can change, evolve and grow. 

The underlying premise of owning your experience is that everything that occurs in your field of awareness stems from a world-view and value system that is uniquely yours.

Take responsibility for your own experience. Whatever experience you're having, it's yours and yours only. Explore it, find the source of it and let it guide you into knowing yourself as deeply and fully as possible. 

Nothing needs to change in the external world when you own your experience. 

Be aware of your habituated patterns of relating and explore stepping outside of them. 

Connect with your desires/impulses and practice acting upon them responsibly. 

Slow down and allow space for silence and reflection.

Bring a willingness to relax, have fun and play with others.

Whatever this means to you! While honoring yourself, we invite you to step right up to the edge of your boundaries. Explore where they come from and how to nurture them. 

Notice your comfort zone and any room for expansion. Play with it. 

Bring parts of yourself that historically you may not have been welcome to.
