Why Feel? Healing Our Lineages and Transforming Our Communities is a self-guided workshop that invites participants on a transformative journey of reconnection and healing—both in yourself and in with the ecosystems around you. This workshop calls on those who are ready to deepen into personal and collective transformation, creating lasting change in the relationships we nurture, the spaces we inhabit, and the institutions that shape our world. It is an opportunity to become a Transformational Character—someone who actively engages in healing their own life and lineage, especially amid pressurized conditions and unprecedented challenges.
Spanning 17 lessons in three modules, this workshop is thoughtfully guided by our powerful team of methodology teachers – Prentis Hemphill, Alta Starr, Kasha Ho and Óscar Trujillo. You’ll be supported every step of the way with a detailed workbook and the chance to connect with a cohort of passionate individuals, all committed to walking a path of healing and growth together.
Through this course, you will:
Reclaim feeling in your body
Explore the contractions that limit you from your aliveness and deepest longings
Cultivate a more profound sense of presence, awe and courage, unlocking more ability to take action aligned with purpose
Embody the role of a Transformational Character, engaging in your personal healing as a way to transform the ecosystems and communities that surround you.
By enrolling in this workshop, you’ll also receive a complimentary month of exploration in our vibrant online community— The Practice Ground —where you can continue your journey of connection, support, and growth.
“Why Feel? was timely in my personal journey as a Transformational Character. I felt my nervous system immediately relax in the space and that allowed me to experience presence. It was evident that the TEI team put forth a lot of intentionality in crafting each section and its purpose within the event. I’m grateful for the opportunities to connect with and move my body, to witness my own emotions, and be led by such genuine individuals into a collective of grace, love, and healing.”
