What's included?

“Desire is a teacher: When we immerse ourselves in it without guilt, shame, or clinging, it can show us something special about our own minds that allow us to embrace life fully.” Mark Epstein, Open to Desire

Where you travel, who you spend your time with, what work you feel called to do, what you buy, where you live, what you eat and drink, what mission you support, what you read, what music you absorb, what you hold on to, and what you let go of are all direct results of a deeper, often unspoken, desire to experience life more fully.

Your desires point to your liberation. 

Yet one of the most difficult things we can do is to decide what we really want in our lives. Asking ourselves, “What do I really want?” feels audacious and complex, so we avoid it and opt instead to follow the well-worn path of convention. 

If we do the workaround discovering what we want, too often we come to the process with a bucket list of tasks and goals we’d like to accomplish. We don’t spend the time reflecting on whether or not the goals are the right ones or whether or not they would be fulfilling. 

This two-hour workshop will give you tools and strategies for deciding what you really want for your life. We will walk through external expectations, specifically calling into awareness the expectations from others that you have taken on as your own. Then we begin the challenging (but exciting nonetheless) process of discerning what you want for yourself.

Is this workshop for you?

Your Teacher

Dr. Shelley Prevost

Shelley is a licensed therapist, educational psychologist, and experienced workshop facilitator. After working as a business psychologist and startup executive for the past 10 years, Dr. Prevost has come back to her roots in positive psychology and promoting her belief that psychology is “soul work.” Modern psychology, in its attempt to systematically diagnose disorders and quash symptoms, has divorced the soul almost entirely from understanding psychological health. Through the Big Self School, Dr. Prevost hopes to change that. She believes that we experience life as whole humans and that arbitrary barriers exist between the roles in work and life and parenting and friendships. The goal of our human experience is an authentic integration of all these parts of ourselves, which begins in a deep and abiding sense of self. Only when we know and appreciate ourselves can we rejoin our soul with our roles.
