Emotional Authenticity

WHB is Powerful | Practical | Proven

That’s what I was told. Maybe you were too. Forget it! Instead, AWARENESS, BALANCE AND AUTHENTICITY has been the key to me using my emotional and cognitive power. The FEELINGS AS MESSENGERS protocol gave me answers that I’ve been seeking for over 15 years. I didn’t know that my learned emotional responses had been falsified - so that I’d do the oppressors bidding abandoning or making war with my own family, community, organizations and businesses. No matter how hard I tried, my efforts to build trust always ended in me hurting someone or me getting hurt. Now, I know why. I also know what to do DIFFERENTLY!

The Flow of Recognition

They called it “The River of Touches.” I call it “my lifeline” I knew that I was powerful. I just didn’t know how to consistently get and give healing touches in my relationships - even with family. Too often my words came out like damning torches burning up my relationships and organizations. Often I was right, but I was also alone. We can’t win alone. While I knew that before, I didn’t know how to turn my damning torches into healing touches - with everyday conversation. The retreat helped me learn to do this. Now, I’ve added some joy and peace to my power! Join me at the retreat and meet me at The River of Touches!

WHB: Storytelling - IO
The Flow of Recognition
The stories I tell myself about them, about
me, about us and about our beginning,
middle, and end.
I didn’t know that I’d been tricked into
telling my story and my people’s stories
from the outside-in - from the oppressor’s
perspective, values, and goals. Like their
stories about me, I minimized my efforts
unless they met their approval (standard).
Their story had become so standard that I
was making the characters in my own
stories become “universal black orphans.”
The most powerful tool of the weekend was
SIO - Storytelling from the inside-out!
We used to be the master tellers - not just
the Djali (Griots) - our families, too. I had
become the consumers and repeaters of
alien stories about me, about us, the past,
and the future.
Join me for SIO.

WHB: The S/I Line Script

404.832.9958

My

Next page

All of these and more are used to convince me that I’m inferior. It started early before I could defend against it. I’ve been hoodwinked, scripted, manipulated to *behave* as if I’m inferior, even when I don’t believe it. I yield to others without even knowing it. The script is hidden in places I’m still discovering. On the flip side, the counter script is also a trap. I then treat others who I care about as if I’m superior to them - especially when I’m challenged. That only creates more conflict! In those relationships, the goal is not to get on top of the line or to stay on the bottom. The goal is to bend it into a circle - then step inside. The tool that has brought more joy, peace, and power to my life is circling the S/I line. Join me and let the circle be unbroken.
