Wired for Connection – New Academy course with Sandra!
This 2-hour course has been created to help you understand, befriend and rewire your neural programming and teach you exercises and techniques to enable you to cultivate deeper and more intimate connections with others.
“From being a mirror in which we can see ourselves, to strengthening our physical and mental health, to feeling worthy, empowered, creative and whole, deep connections with others bring us so much. My hope is that you experience that intimacy in relationships doesn’t just ‘happen’ but can be cultivated in conscious ways, and that you learn to love and accept yourself more as you rewrite relationship patterns.” ~ Sandra Carson.
