There are no words that can well enough describe this experience inside of this 6 week group container, because it's a bright light that gets to live within me, that I now, can share in my presence to the world.

After 27 years of doing so many
different modalities in therapy and gaining so much, this 6 week group with you is the best work I've ever done. I look forward to coming back soon.

It's almost like we were rebirthed in this experience! This 6 week group gave us all the love, connection, safety, and warmth that we didn't get! And we all have another chance in living a beautiful life!!!

- KL, 6 Week Group Participant

I learned so much from each and every one in this 6 week group! You all were so vulnerable and raw, and gave me so much permission to validate what was going on inside of me! You guys will always have a special place in my heart!

- IR, 6 Week Group Participant

testimonial.

The depth, the intricacies, the layers you shed, and the comfort and willingness you experience because you are finally safe to expose all of what's inside in this 6 week group. This experience was really the key opening the window to my soul and I cannot express how grateful I am to you.

- RY, 6 Week Group Participant

testimonial. 

The 6 week group has challenged me and given me the courage to be more vocally vulnerable and sensitive. In turn building more light, trust, and connection within me and around me. Thank you, Rivky, for helping me unlock this
potential!

- AJ, 6 Week Group Participant

Every few years something happens in your life that is completely life changing. This group is one of those things...

- GR, 6 Week Group Participant

- DG, 6 Week Group Participant

testimonial.

For once I am a woman of little words... Thank you Rivky, and thank you all, for letting me be seen, heard, accepted and LOVED for being me. Holding space, giving me permission to grant it to myself. Thank you for allowing me to remove my masks and lay down the armor to receive your gifts. I feel beyond blessed that my path led me to you. Rivky, you, and the sisterhood I feel in these groups has saved my soul. I am eternally grateful for this space... it's like homecoming each time.

THE WAY OF THE HEART

In this 4-month online course/ group container we will explore and experience real, sustainable, integrated, gentle, and organizing change on the level of the soma, psyche, and spirit.

Sometimes you can know so much about inner growth and healing, and it still feels like something is "missing"- this course/group container targets that feeling.

We combine the simple with the magical, Somatic work with energetics, the mind, and the soul. We will get to the root of what's going on inside, so you can put down your shovel and stop digging.

You will leave with the ability to see the world through the lens of your heart- having created enough safety in your body and nervous system, quieted your mind, and re-wired old subconscious patterns and programs.

What we need now, more than ever is to live in "The Way of the Heart."

This course includes a hybrid of nervous system work, subconscious re-patterning, developmental work, energy work, teachings, and embodiment practices.

  • This is a 15-week course to explore your true self, starting on June 18, 2024
  • Cost is $5,497 (Payment Plan available)

testimonial.

This container made me feel so safe and seen thanks to your tremendous brilliance, knowledge, self-compassion and intelligence of knowing how to hold space for others. I gained so much.

- PB, The Way of the Heart Participant

testimonial.

I have to say I never felt so held and so safe while being so vulnerable. I feel real shifts inside of my body, psyche, and nervous system. I feel new. Thank you for being a catalyst for that.

- RT, The Way of the Heart Participant

testimonial.

I feel a deeper sense of feeling safe and grounded. This has replaced my usual anxiety and dissociation, and I know that The Way of the Heart group was the impetus to make it happen. Thank you, Rivky. You change people's lives.

- MC, The Way of the Heart Participant

testimonial. 

We covered so many important topics in The Way of the Heart group, and each class built on one another which allowed for such gentle ways to grow and process. I'm blown away by Rivky's ability to have shown up for each one of us and her attunement to us as individuals needs and the group as a whole.

- CG, The Way of the Heart Participant

testimonial.

I feel so held in this container group by you both in love and in accountability. Both so seen and supported and also feeling known every step of the way. It's not a common experience for me and I don't take it for granted. I was thinking how I never want it to end!

- LW, The Way of the Heart Participant

testimonial.

Through the Way of the Heart, I learned how to be with it all and become more beautifully human for myself and for those around me. Thank you, Rivky, for showing us how, for your most beautiful presence and energy that is at once loving, yet won't stand for our bullshit.

testimonial.

I want to thank you for teaching me to feel in a way I don't think I ever have before. Through this breathwork experience, I finally feel ready to let go of the pain and anger that I was feeling and move forward in a more productive way. I feel ready to live with all my heart.

- IH, Breathwork Group Participant

testimonial.

I always wanted to be independent and strong woman having needs- like the need for people and things was viewed as a weakness. What I realize now after this Somatic Breathwork Experience is that by being honest with myself and vulnerable with myself first, then I can be strong enough to depend on others, trust others, and to need others.

- KL, Breathwork Group Participant

testimonial.

Being in the Breathwork group, allowed me to be able to connect to my body. I am remembering things that I used to love, that I somehow forgot about over the years of caring for the other people in my life... I always have, and I still do. I just forgot because I forgot how pleasure and ease feels. Now I remember.

- WD, Breathwork Group Participant

testimonial. 

This Breathwork journey/experience was exquisite and life altering. I am so grateful to you for guiding me on the path and helping me understand and feel myself on a deeper and more meaningful level.

- JM, Breathwork Group Participant

testimonial.

The container you created was so safe and supportive that it brought out parts of me that I never really get to experience. At the same time, it was really deep and powerful. I felt really clear, present, and grounded throughout the experience.

- DJ, Breathwork Group Participant

testimonial.

After this somatic breathwork experience, I'm ready to laugh, love, and cry with everything I've got. Thank you for providing a safe environment for me to release and grow. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
