Welcoming Your Experience!
“If the only thing people learned was not to be afraid of their experience,
that alone would change the world."
- Sydney Banks
A Foundational Insight
These are BIG words! "If the ONLY THING people learned was NOT TO BE AFRAID of THEIR EXPERIENCE, that ALONE would CHANGE THE WORLD!"
Why is being afriad of our experience so distruptive that it impacts not just us and those around us but all of humanity?
When I first heard this quote from Sydney Banks, it felt huge and yet, I had very little experiential knowing of what it meant. At that point in time I didn't know that I was resisting some of my experiences and confusing them with my identity. I also didn't know how much suffering this was creating for me and how it kept me from hearing wisdom on a much deeper level.
As I saw more deeply that my experience was made of thoughts, feelings, sensations, perceptions, memories, beliefs, interpretations, etc. I had a deeper understanding that this could never be "me," and as I saw that, I became less afraid of experiencing it.
I was so disconnected from my body at this point though, precisely because I was afraid of many of my experiences, that it took some education, guidance and experimenting for me to be with experiences that felt challenging to me and realize what it meant to not be afraid of it, to welcome it as it is.
The more I did this, the less dysregulated and reactive I became and the more in touch I was with my wisdom, common sense, and instincts.
I began to see more deeply what Syd had been pointing to, how this is what people have been looking for all along and that humanity would be deeply transformed through this realization!
In This Series
In this series, we're going to slow down and dive deep into the wisdom of this quote and see what it means in terms of how we relate to ourselves, to others, and to our work.
We'll hear incredible personal stories that bring this quote to life, and we'll dive more deeply into what it means to not be afraid of our experience, and why that alone would change the world.
The first conversation was held on Thursday, April 18th, and focused on setting the stage for what it means and how powerful it is to welcome our experience. This exploration was guided by myself (Julie) and Sammy Rangel, a person whose story changes lives! (Seriously, you will not want to miss this!)
The second conversation was held on Thursday, May 23rd, and focused on the impact welcoming our experience has on our relationships and was guided by Juieanne Chazotte and George & Linda Pransky, original mentees of Sydney Banks. (It was a fantastic conversation and you will be delighted to listen to it once you register for the series)
The third conversation will be held on Thursday, June 20th, and will focus on the impact welcoming our experience has on our work and will be guided by Juieanne Chazotte and Rob Cook, an incredibly gifted and generous coach and teacher of the Three Principles.
These conversations are complimentary because we aspire to create a space where anyone interested can attend and deepen in their own wisdom and personal insights. If you know anyone who might be interested or can benefit, please share this with them!
We look forward to embarking on this journey of deep listening and exploration with you! Let's harness our collective wisdom and ignite a ripple effect of positive change within ourselves and the world around us.

Series Overview
Part 1: Welcoming Your Experience with Sammy Rangel*
Sammy's story is one of the most incredible stories I've ever heard! He has faced some of the most difficult circumstances and yet his human spirit was not broken.
When we heard from Sammy in this remarkable conversation, it reminded us the power and resilience of our the human Spirit and what becomes possible when we welcome our experience rather than resisting it. The miracles and transformation this created in Sammy's life shows us what Syd meant when he said that this could change the world.

George and Linda Pransky have done such incredible work in sharing this understanding in the world. We couldn't be more grateful to have them as Guest Speakers in this series, and especially when we talk about the topic of relationships.

Part 3: Welcoming Your Experience in Your Work
with Rob Cook
The final conversation of this series will be with the extraordinary, Rob Cook! The authenticity and joy he brings to everything he does is really inspiring and yet he doesn't shy away from talking about the challenges of life.
In this conversation, we will focus on insights around how welcoming our experience enlivens our inspiration, resilience, and wisdom!
The Power of Being in Community
We are social creatures and so feeling connected to others, welcome, appreciated and seen in community with other like-hearted souls is a powerful healing and grounding experience in and of itself!
We will guide the group in creating a safe container together where we can more easily open up and feel comfortable in sharing about the human experience.
The conversation and exercises we do will be designed to help our minds settle so that we can open up to our wisdom and the wisdom of the group. As we look in this direction, it's incredible how powerful insights can open up and shift the way we experience life.
"We don't need another Guru. We need each other."

Who This Experience Is and Isn't For
This workshop is for:
- Those who want to navigate their life, relationships and work with greater health, ease and inspiration.
- Coaches and faciliators who want to explore new ways of helping their clients on the somatic and emotional levels.
- People willing to explore new perspectives and are intereseted in insight and Self-discovery.
- Those who value being in community and want to engage with like-minded individuals in a safe, nurturing space.
This workshop might not be suitable for:
- Those resistant to exploring new perspectives or unwilling to engage in self-reflective practices.
- Anyone seeking quick fixes. If someone is solely seeking immediate solutions without a willingness to engage deeply, this might not align with their expectations.
- For individuals seeking or currently undergoing intensive trauma therapy. It's important to prioritize safety and readiness in exploring our lives. Doing so prematurely can inadvertently hinder the healing process rather than foster it. If you're not presently engaged in therapy, we recommend that as a primary and comprehensive avenue for healing support. Your safety and well-being are so important on your journey toward emotional healing.

What People Are Saying!
"Regardless of the scale of the challenge, or of the drama and story I would bring to it, Julie’s consciousness would remain centered, undistracted, and undeterred, to help me distinguish between the reality of the situation and my distorted thinking about that reality. In so doing, Julie would consistently guide me to letting go of that thinking and then access the deeper, more true part of me where my wisdom and authentic creativity is abundant. From there, new ideas, insights and solutions would emerge that I couldn’t have accessed from my previous state. Every session with Julie would end with me in a place of illumination, clarity, and with a solid direction for moving forward. And with a renewed understanding that everything I could ever want to experience is already true inside of me." - Kirk Souder
"I came to Julie looking for help to end decades-long unhealthy habits with food and alcohol, and I found so much more! Julie was able to listen deeply to understand and quickly get to the heart of the matter, and she always left me with helpful insights, ideas or questions to ponder. She didn’t get caught up in my “story”, instead she gently guided me to find my way back to my own innate wisdom. She exhibited a genuine interest in my life, which created an instant connection between us and inspired me to share things with her that I had never been able to discuss with even my closest friends. After just one 90-minute conversation, I noticed an immediate difference in how I showed up. The change was subtle and at the same time deep – feelings of peace and ease and the courage to be my authentic self in all areas of my life. And through our remaining time together, Julie guided me to be gentle with myself, to create and hold a space for myself to let things be and to feel what I feel, knowing that it could never change the deeper truth that I am made of well-being. It is within this space that I have been able to recognize and trust my inner wisdom. I am calmer, happier, wiser and lighter!" - Carmen Alston
