SPRING 2017 WEEKEND TWO I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE! WELCOME Well, hey there. You made it back to Mama. Hallelujah! By now, you may be feeling like Mastery is everything. Just everything. And then some. While some of you are feeling that this course is nothing. Just nothing. Not even. And some of you are feeling like both. And that’s perfect. At this point in the course, we are going to go deeper into some of the darker realms we’ve been conditioned to shut down and ignore our whole life. Spoiler: This is where your power lies. As we journey through this content, be gentle with yourself. Lean into sisterhood. Press your edge. Up until now, Mastery has been all about you and your sisters. This weekend, and in the weeks to follow, we’re going to begin to explore how to approach other relationships in your life, especially with men (or partners of any gender). I cannot wait to dive in with you. All my love, p.s. As a reminder, please do not share this workbook, or any of the copyrighted material you receive as part of Mastery. It is my life’s work, and intended as part of the full experience of the course. That said, please do share enthusiastically about your experience, share my book, and share your passion for this movement!

Our intention is to connect deeper with ourselves and each other.” Each woman gets 3 minutes to share her answers to the following questions: • What were you taught about fully expressing your emotional range as a child? • How challenging was it to connect with your emotions during the Swamp in class today, on a scale of 1-10? • How do you imagine that owning your Swamp would benefit your life? Enjoy your lunch! Doors open at 2:40pm, and class starts right at 3:00pm with an incredibly hot entrance! SUNDAY Begin as you did yesterday, the timekeeper states “It is no accident that we are all here at this table right now. Our intention is to connect deeper with ourselves and each other.” Go around the circle, giving every woman 1 minute to share for each round: • Frame Round: share a Favorite Frame of the weekend so far. Group responds “Well framed!” after each share. • Brag Round: share as many Brags as time allows. Group responds “Well bragged!” after each share. • Gratitude Round: share as many Gratitudes as time allows. Group responds “Beautiful” after each share. • Desires Round: share as many Desires as time allows. Group responds “And so shall it be, or something even better” after each share.
