How often will I connect with Rachel live?

How do the weekly sharing sessions work?

In the course, you will learn all about the process of sharing, but you can expect these sessions to be supportive, nurturing, safe, and completely confidential. Every week, you will meet with a pre-determined small groupvirtually with cameras on, in or near your local time zone to share from the heart on various topics and prompts provided to you that relate to each week’s lessons. Thesemore intimate sharing sessions will take place at a time and day mutually decided by you and your small group.

How much time do I need to dedicate to this course each week?

We’ve created this course in a way that spaces everything out so you can focus on bits at a time throughout the week, such as before or after work, or you can commit to more lessons on days that you know you’ll be off of work and have more free time. If you miss an activity or two, no sweat! You can always return to those and finish them at a later time that’s more convenient for you.While each week will vary slightly, we recommend setting aside around 8-10 hours each week to spend time outside, practice nature rituals, attend live sessions, move your body, meditate, meet for sharing sessions, journal, and complete each week’s lesson activities. Please know, however, that it’s completely up to you how you progress through this course. If you are unable to dedicate this amount of time each week, you are free to pick and choose which activities resonate with you in any given moment and take your time processing each week’s lessons.

What if I get busy and can’t keep up with the course materials?

You will have lifetime access to the HOME course after purchasing. Although we recommend that you complete the course material every week, we understand that each week may be different, so you are welcome to adapt this course to your own pace and adjust it as you see fit with your schedule. The good news is that the HOME course materials and live session recordings will always be there for you, and you will continue to have access even after the course comes to a close.

I live in a city with no access to natural spaces, can I still join?

Yes! This course was created for everyone and anyone that is looking to deepen their connection to nature and themselves. This course was also created to serve as a reminder that nature isn’t just a place you go - you are nature. Know that no matter what your living situation is, you will be able to adapt and customize the lessons, practices, and rituals to your local area.

Do I need any yoga experience to join this course?
