A Course in Courage With Julia Butterfly Hill
Discover potent secrets for activating your heart-based courage, infusing your life with more authentic purpose and passion – and becoming a soul-powered agent for positive change.
Each and every one of us has the capacity to transform our “ordinary” life into an extraordinary life by accessing the depths of love and power within us.
Are you fully living the soul-powered life you know is possible for yourself? Or do doubts, fears and limiting beliefs prevent you from embracing your deepest truths, sharing your biggest message or really pursuing your grandest dreams?
When faced with big challenges, do you act out old “scripts,” and shut down, react or become overwhelmed?
These responses are only natural. However, when you react in these ways, you drain invaluable life force energy that you could harness to fulfill your highest potential and make your unique contributions to the world.
So when struggles arise, how can you be truly empowered to consistently live your purpose, connect to your passion and become an agent for positive change?
The answer is rooted in courage. It’s a simple, but potent word whose root says a lot about what it really is. “Courage” comes from the Anglo-French word “coer” – meaning “heart.” Contrary to popular belief, courage is not acting “brave” and “fearless” in the face of adversity or danger. This can not only be draining, it can also lead to destruction.
For real courage to exist, your heart must be actively engaged – particularly when you’re feeling vulnerable or afraid. This gives us the sensitivity to know what is right action – and how to create allies rather than increase friction.
To truly thrive, it’s vital to learn how to cultivate and sustain courage each and every day – so that you can live with grace, transform your relationship to perceived obstacles, and be available for new, expansive possibilities.
With all the difficulties we’re exposed to in our world, it can be easy to close up in an attempt to create some sort of illusory armor. This is why the first greatest act of courage is to maintain an open heart and truly care.
Courage doesn’t have to be dramatic, as its power hinges on moment-to-moment acts – anytime you face fear, overwhelm, anger, frustration or deep grief, and decide to explore and move through the situation with love.
When you encounter any of these type of blocks, and then you mindfully choose to take actions with your heart engaged – that is courage.
Once you’ve learned how to cultivate, nurture and sustain courage, you’ll have an invaluable skill that can dramatically improve every single aspect of your life – and, in turn – our world.
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.
A Course in Courage is a step-by-step program in which Julia will provide you with the potent secrets for cultivating, sharing and sustaining your own wellspring of courage that she learned from her personal experiences – as well as from many years working with some of the most beloved global visionaries.
You’ll gain a much deeper understanding of courage – and learn how to utilize it to align your life with your highest purpose, passion and authentic power.
You’ll also be empowered to be far more authentic, vulnerable and playfully humorous – keeping you energized for the long haul to your bigger visions.
Courage goes far beyond what you DO in the world; it also gives you the ability to really understand yourself and know the real purpose for your life. When you use courage to make inner shifts, your outer work becomes more aligned and joyful. You attract exactly the right people and situations to fulfill your soul’s mission.
You’ll discover during the course with Julia that you do have the power to have a miraculous life, and you CAN choose how you show up when difficulties – and even opportunities – come your way.
In the Course in Courage, you’ll uncover what truly fuels the spirit of courage, so that when you put your love and passion into action in the world, it’s not only sustainable – it’s actually regenerative!
