You have the power to live a magical and
miraculous life.
Courage is the fuel that powers your dreams and inspires others by example. It’s the energy that has empowered the most celebrated leaders throughout history – from successful business executives, to luminaries like Mandela and Gandhi.
However, we’re rarely taught how to cultivate, deepen and expand this precious life-changing quality. For some people, this inner capacity seems to come naturally, but the truth is courage is a skill that anyone can learn and master – including you.
To embody a truly inspired life, you must discover how to go beyond what your mind thinks is possible. And you do this step-by-step, starting at your heart center. It’s a distillation process where you cultivate grace in your way of being in the world.
This creates the space for courage to blossom – so that you are able to tap into your most potent Self in whatever situation arises.
When you’re able to access courage with grace, you are better able to manage and navigate the messiness of the human journey – and become more attuned to what brings you joy and passion.
You can transform your relationship with the obstacles, mistakes and uncertainty of life, so that you are open to the amazing opportunities that can come from them.
Learn from a Master Teacher
With A Course in Courage, you’ll discover how to develop and live from courage, with powerful insights and practices from Julia Butterfly Hill – one of the most courageous change agents and spiritual mentors of our time.
Julia didn’t complete a 738-day tree-sit to protect ancient redwood groves from destruction with one giant act of courage. She ignited and led a worldwide movement by learning to face the challenges presented to her moment-to-moment – from harsh weather to dwindling supplies, from the heckling of loggers to isolation from human contact. She learned to do this with a fierce, compassionate, tender and open heart – which is what turned her into a global icon for sustainable change.
Julia had to build bridges to the loggers from her authenticity, and also use humor to navigate challenging situations. She began to see that old-school “bravery” would not actually create the results she wanted to see. Real, heart-centered, vulnerable courage was required.
And when Julia climbed down from the tree, she brought with her powerful insights into how EACH of us can become a courageous agent of change, that she has generously been disseminating throughout the world.
