Sacred Tension

Sacred Tension: The Practice of Holding Paradox and Transcending Limiting Beliefs

Join the Course

What if the truths that seem to oppose each other are both asking to be heard?

What if your freedom lives on the other side of the beliefs that once kept you safe?

About the Course

We live in a culture that demands either/or thinking - choose a side, pick a lane, hold the line. But wisdom lives in the both/and. This course is an invitation to step beyond binary thinking and into the liberating terrain of paradox. Through weekly reflections, embodied practices, and community conversation, we will explore how holding complexity is not only possible - it’s necessary for our healing, leadership, and wholeness.

Each session weaves together a paradox and a limiting belief, helping you unhook from patterns that keep you stuck while expanding your capacity to live, lead, and relate with greater grace and clarity.
