HOLY, MESSY, HUMAN
A 12-Week Initiation Into Understanding and Embodying Healing
What if you could abandon your relentless pursuit of perfection and instead, learn the language and tools you need to truly embody healing as a way of life?
If you feel like you're always broken and need fixing, itâs time to learn what it actually feels like to be at peace with yourself, make mistakes without spiraling, and stay open instead of shutting down when life gets hard.
This course offers a clear path to understanding how to truly pursue healing⌠as a holy, messy, and utterly human practice.
We Have the Language for PainâŚ
We've become fluent in trauma talk, expert at naming what hurts, masters of identifying dysfunction and pathology.
We can describe our wounds in exquisite detail, catalog our triggers, map our family patterns with clinical precision.
We've mastered the art of flattening human complexity into neat labels: red flags, diagnoses, identities, and affiliations⌠as if souls could be sorted into manageable categories.
âŚBut Where's the Language for Healing?
Imagine if we were more fluent in growth talk, expert at naming what's working, masters of identifying strength and resilience.
Why are we less able to describe our progress in exquisite detail, catalog our breakthroughs, map our healing patterns with loving precision, or name when we're actually getting healthier?
We have criteria, diagnosis, and pathology for everything that's "wrong" with us.
But we don't know how to approach ourselves, our minds, and our behaviors with new language and perspectives that orient us toward healing.
- We've lost the plot for how to heal.
- We think "protecting our peace at all costs" means we've set healthy boundaries.
- We confuse âgood vibes onlyâ with true healing.
True healing doesn't ignore lifeâs struggles. Instead, it makes you so open-hearted, so mentally relaxed, so at ease in your body that pain, illness, discomfort, unpleasantness are as welcome as the good vibes.
We're drowning in spiritual content, yet we feel more disconnected than ever. We worship at the altars of consumption and algorithms while avoiding the real work of:
- Learning to be at ease
- Developing a healthy relationship with mistakes
- Cultivating the capacity to forgive and let go
- Accessing our creativity and imagination
- Living in communion with all of life instead of feeling constantly threatened
- Observing how we make things worse than they really are
We've lost touch with what genuine healing actually looks like in a human body, mind, and life.
The 12-Week Map to Understanding and Embodying Healing
What if there were an actual map: a step-by-step journey through the stages of healing, guiding you from spiritual hunger to a genuine understanding of what it means to be whole?
This isn't my invention. What makes this trustworthy is not personal cleverness, but the Buddhist lineage behind it: a living tradition that, over the past 2,600 years, has factually produced liberated, genuinely happy, and healed beings.
That lineage is the ground we can fall back on. We can trust it because it's been tested, embodied, and transmitted generation after generation.
Grounded in lineage and lived experience, this map has been tested and proven with thousands of students. Time and again, Iâve watched these practices guide people through real healing and into the freedom of authentic transformation.
Each week represents another step deeper into understanding what healing actually looks like⌠not the "curated for Instagram" version, but true, sustainable transformation that makes you more open, not more isolated.

But picture yourself able to...
- Access your creativity and imagination freely
- Feel connected to all of life instead of constantly threatened
- Trust your capacity to handle whatever comes your way
