What You’ll Discover in These 7 Modules

The course will offer teachings, sessions, and experiences with Bernadette. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to work with dance and movement for emotional freedom.
Module 1: Living emotionally suppressed (August 12).
It’s not that we intentionally live emotionally stifled — it’s just that early on in life we learned lessons about emotions that aren’t actually true. We’re told we’re “too much” when we’re bubbling over with joy or exploding with anger… we’re told that “good girls don’t do that” And “boys don’t cry.”
We learn to suppress our emotions to make ourselves fit into the box. “acceptable” Emotional range. We are missing out on all of the emotions and their gifts. That’s why this course begins with unlearning what we learned about emotions as young people.
In this module, you’ll begin with emotional literacy, and:
Discover the differences in emotions, feelings, or moods
Think about the words you use to describe emotions (e.g. grief, joy, jealousy and anger).
Recognize how your emotional discomfort could be holding you back from every aspect of your life
Accept the fact that shame can keep you from achieving your inner peace “lockdown”
Discover the increased quality of life that’s available to you when you release shame

Together we’ll do a deeper dive into the emotions of “flirt” And “confidence.” You’ll get to move these emotions in your body, exploring what they awaken for you in relationship with yourself first, before exploring them with others.
Module 3: Sex & Emotions (August 26)
Your You must accept your fears and limitations around sex. But, do not hide from your own vitality — the potential power you will reclaim for yourself when you confront your fears and own your sexual nature is immeasurable. As we learn early lessons about our emotions, so do we also learn misguided lessons about sex.
We’re taught that it’s not okay to have, let alone feel, our desires. We’re taught to be ashamed of lust. Living within a small margin of life makes it difficult to fully enjoy our sexual pleasures and sexuality.

Module 4: Racism & Emotions (September 2)
Right now, there is a moment of awakening in the United States and around the globe. Both there is a lot to be done and a lot to grow. If we feel called to participate in this growth, it’s important that we look within to explore the ways we may be contributing to the perpetuation of racism.

Module 7: Living with emotional expansion (September 23rd)

I cried, and I felt my voice and present affirmed in ways I will never forget.

To let go of the armor, to be open to joy as well as pain, and to step into the classroom community. It was so wonderful to feel so safe, warm, and protected in that space. My body felt alive when I let go of all my doubts. It was both joyfully alive and so sad to look back at all the years of sleeping through it all.
