Online Event via Zoom

How can we draw power from the ground for the energy we need to greet life with a hopeful and helpful spirit? When grounded, we can cultivate an inner calm, openheartedness, and responsiveness to whatever arises. Our connection to the ground gives us stability, presence, a sense of wonder and purpose.

Facilitated by ITP Mastery teachers, Ground Your Life Through Practice consists of 3 separate series, each designed as a stepping stone, one to the next, for exploring ITP essentials and crafting your practice, envisioning and affirming the future you, and using your conscious intentions to create positive change. The flexible format allows you to choose the full program or each series individually.

Step on the path with us to discover a grounded integral practice or to renew yours!
