4th Chakra: Heart Center of Connection with Self, Other, and Land
This course is focused on working with the creative process and sacred storytelling as tools to remove stuck energy living in the 3rd chakra, also know as Manipura, “lustrous gem.”
The 3rd chakra is akin to the sun, radiating through the center of our body.
How energy moves through this chakra influences our action, will, vitality and sense of personal power.
On the physical plane, the manipura chakra rules metabolism, the process whereby we turn food (energy) into action. We will be working with the stories that have gotten in the way of the fullest most embodied expression of your life force.
You will be invited to delight in poetry, movement, storytelling, and other creative exercises as you gain more and more access as it runs through all aspects of your life.

A JOURNEY INTO SANCTUARY...
Imagine if Marie Kondo met The Artists Way...
...and you will catch the scent of the essence of this course.
As you are guided through a process of developing ways of creating Sanctuary in your home,
you will lao be guided through ways of liberating and expressing your creativity in the most unexpected of ways....
Now more than ever, we need Sanctuary.
A territory where our fullest emergence has a place to arrive.
Where we can align with the truth of who we are and the divine creative life force available to us.
We’ll explore your relationship to how your creativity and power have been defined by your surroundings as we make our way to the expression of your true essence.
We’ll listen for the stories that yearn to be expressed, shared, healed, and liberated as you you transform blocks and barriers through creative expression.
What Gifts and Shadows are Living in Your 4th chakra?
We will explore your story of UNITY: where has connection or disconnection influenced your life, how are you in service of connection? How intimate are you with the natural world? Where and when do you fall out of harmony?
How does UNITY live in your body, and what stories are filling your psychic space about relationships? What stories are you unconsciously projecting about your unprocessed internal belief systems?
How do you relate to confidence, and what is in your psychic space around your value? What stories are you unconsciously projecting about your unprocessed internal belief systems? The place in our home we will focus upon will be the room where you do your work; this could be an office, studio, or some other part of your home that you want to claim where you express your life force. We will engage creative practices, ritual, and practices to transmute and transform these energies as we prepare to emerge to tell the story.

WEEK 1 - RECALIBRATE
Our journey lives inside of a big story. We will create our agreements for how to live and create in a space that fosters authentic expression. You will be led through a process of mapping your largest story as we go on a mission to find the blocks & barriers.
You will learn clearing and cleansing rituals that provide the structure to examine your energy and capacity to create.
WEEK 2 & 3 - REFLECT, RESTRUCTURE & RECREATE
As you recreate your space, you will step onto the path of the temple keeper. You will learn practices to bless and prepare your sacred space and how to listen to your own inner wisdom on how to do this. You will generate earth-based rituals to meet each barrier and block you identify (forgiveness of self and others, healing your relationship with the sacred masculine and feminine, or other challenges you face).
WEEK 4 & 5 - RELEASE & REDESIGN
As you release and compost the barriers you are working with, you will free up more energy to catalyze the gifts you came to give. All along the way you will re-story your life through individualized assignments, you will work with story as a healing modality to address your unique discoveries.
WEEK 6 - RECALIBRATE, REGENERATE & ALCHEMIZE
Our course will culminate in your designing and building the Altar of Your Becoming in your sacred space. You will present one of the transformational stories you created over the span of our time together. You will leave understanding your unique Creator Matrix, the gifts and the challenges your Matrix presents, and your Creator Archetype.
Your Guide - Leah Lamb
Leah Lamb learned about how stories could be allies and friends when she was a child wandering the fields, creeks, and ponds of a rural farm in Vermont. Her first loves were writing and theater. Leah experienced first-hand how stories can unite when her play about suicide, “Berries,” was produced by VA Young Writers for The Theater. She went on to study the Eric Morris technique and the Meisner Technique at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City and interned at Williamstown Theatre Festival.
Her love of the environment led her to study at Prescott College, where she earned a double major in outdoor experiential education and environmental education through performance. After she worked with youth at risk for many years as a wilderness guide with Outward Bound and other programs, her commitment to social justice led her to earn a master’s degree in social work from Virginia Commonwealth University.
