We are born with an innate and instinctual sense of a healthy no. As we grow up, this no can ripen into wisdom and discernment and is vital to making all kinds of healthy choices in life. Often, however, we are taught not to heed it, to override it and this leads to a haziness and a difficulty with a clear yes. It is vital (and so revitalising) to recover this healthy instinct and it can be done!

In this course you will be invited to explore the know how of the no in yourself, the wisdom of your instincts. This process of recovery involves practising a deeper listening to yourself and, very likely, a cleaning out of some confusion along the way. Only when your no is clear can your yes be self-affirming in the very best, even wonderful, way.
