Welcome to your course page!
Usually, for inner work to be meaningful, we must engage all three (or five — or, if we’re being really accurate, they’re actually seven 😉) centres of intelligence. We typically scramble these in our understanding, which muddles up our communication, relationships with others and, not least, inner work. Thus, a big part of this work, for everyone, is seeing what goes where. For this reason, this course explores inner growth from grounded presence in, and from insight into, the cognitive, emotional and instinctual functions.
Besides the 7 course modules below, you get:
- access to a recording after each module (not for download and only while the course lasts)
- tips for deepening practices in PDF format after each module
- a guided meditation (mp3) after the first session
- e-mail access to Cicci between modules
- the opportunity to book individual sessions at a discounted price
