Foundational preparation: we support you in developing a healthy sense of self, the ability to regulate your emotions, and the meta-cognitive and collaborative skills to establish healthy, mature relationships. Why is this relevant and necessary? At the core of everything we do at house of the beloved is being different together. That means to deeply connect with each other by expressing our own way of being human, and allowing and supporting others to do the same. However, expressing your own way of being human is not available to everyone. Some people don’t know who they are and what they want. Some find it too scary to show themselves. Some are too busy taking care for others, that they forget about themselves. Some are afraid of the intensity of their own emotions. Some never learned to look at themselves and understand how they function. All these challenges will interfere with the practices of HOTB, including meditation and authentic presence Level 0: anchoring down has 3 pillars: First, psycho-education.
