“When I reconnected with my desire, I reconnected with my soul. I feel alive, and I notice the ripples in how people are responding to me. I was feeling stuck and hopeless before this course and couldn’t see beyond that. Now, I can see hope. I can see love. I can celebrate myself. The experience was so transformational.”
🌟 What Are You Scared to Let Yourself Fully Want?
What would you let yourself want — in your work, your relationships, your sex life — if you truly believed you could have it?
What desires, if realized, would significantly transform your life?
How would you live life if you fully believed “you can have what you want”?
—
In this 4-week embodied journey, we’ll guide you to connect with your soul’s deepest desires — the ones that feel most scary and vulnerable to own, and yet, your heart yearns to unlock. The ones that would significantly impact your life.
These desires will inevitably bring up difficult emotions — fear, uncertainty, shame, guilt, and more. So we’ll teach you powerful practices and techniques to expand your capacity to resolve emotions while staying connected to your desire.
And in the safety of the community and the container, we’ll practice how to express and own these core desires.
The journey culminates with you taking a radical step toward your core desire in the external world — with the loving support of the community holding you accountable and celebrating you along the way.
🤷♂️ Unfortunately, many of us feel stuck, lost, or confused when it comes to what we truly want in life.
It can be terrifying to actually feel the fullness of our desires.
Our deepest, most vulnerable desires bring up a lot of intense emotion in us — fear, guilt, shame, sadness, anger, feelings of not being enough, to name a few.
Some of us don’t know what we want.
We live life on autopilot. Life becomes a constant flow of things I should be doing, things I should have done, things I need to be doing.
And even when we do have an idea of we what we want, we don’t feel particularly empowered to do anything about it.
We might get stuck in uncertainty and doubt, telling ourselves stories like:
“I’m not ready.” “I don’t know the way.” ”I’m not doing enough.” ”I don’t deserve it.” ”I can’t have it.”
Or even when we take action, we hold our desires with a tight fist.
We come from a place of feeling anxious and attached. We’re afraid that if we don’t “get it right” or make things happen immediately, they’ll slip through our hands.
It’s not long before panic or paralysis sets in. Our graspiness actually pushes the opportunity away. And we wonder:
“Maybe I’m doing something wrong.”
We’re constantly treading water, and we get exhausted from the urgency and the effort.
Here’s the good news: There’s another way.

“This course gave me inner freedom. My emotions don't direct my actions anymore. They are just indicators that tell me things want to be seen. I’m able to follow my body and find the hidden treasures. I have a choice now. I can play with that choice, and that is a great gift. There is nothing more empowering than empowering yourself.”
💥 Get Initiated Into a Powerful New Way of Living — From Your Desires
When you fully believe that you can have what you want, the way you experience the world completely changes.
You trust your authentic desires, knowing they have intelligence and will open up possibilities you could never have predicted. And as you live from them, you feel like you’re accepted for who you truly are — because you’re following what’s true in your heart of hearts and in the depth of your soul.
“Desires become your automatic correction mechanism when you’re lost.”
You’re able to trust that even if you don’t have the whole roadmap — whether it’s around purposeful work, relationships, sexuality — you’ll be okay. Your desires become your North Star, moving you towards living a more aligned life in all the decisions you make. And even when you do get lost, your desires become an automatic correction mechanism to bring you back home.
You’re able to break out of do-or-die, all-or-nothing thinking — and see all of the possibilities in between. Fear doesn’t close you anymore. When you’re afraid, desire becomes the anchor that keeps you grounded. You connect with a sense of safety in your body. You’re able to be open and flexible amidst challenges and big decisions because you know what you truly want.
“Desire becomes the anchor that keeps you grounded.”
You align more and more of your life, time, attention, and energy with actions that make your heart sing. You feel alive. You feel your body pumping and wanting to take action. You live more from your heart.
Deep down, you feel the pride of empowering yourself.
And the result of this journey?
You achieve life-changing breakthroughs that you didn’t imagine were even possible.

“I was uncertain and stuck around a big decision of whether or not to stay in my marriage. The course helped me reframe how I want to be in my relationship, with an unconditional love and presence. I feel more embraced and loved in the world, more secure in feeling supported and loved. And when doubts do creep in, I feel less stuck and derailed by that. I can lean into and trust that as long as I am staying true to my desire, shit will work itself out.”

Create a breakthrough in any core area of your life — whether it’s in work, life purpose, family, intimate partnerships, even your sex life.
Meet Anthony, who found a renewed sense of purpose in life.
Anthony is a facilitator, coach, and long-time meditator. He was feeling lost before the program and tapped into a deeper reason for what he’s here to do.
Katherine Brooks Men’s Coach, Host of The School of Possibility podcast
Meet Katherine, who discovered a desire to get closer to divinity in her work.
The biggest thing that I received was how to be with my desires in a way that's not squeezing them or ignoring them. Now, I turn my desire into a measurable goal and I put into place all the things that'll help me get there.
Katherine, a men’s coach, had been hustling for years to set revenue goals for herself. She was exhausted. In the program, she found a way to connect with the deeper desire underneath, which was to feel safety, to connect to a higher purpose, and to get closer to God.
No amount of chasing revenue could get her those things. Getting connected with her deepest desire has completely changed how she approaches her life and her business—quickly, and for the better.
Nathan Muniz
Former Scientist in Bend, Oregon
Meet Nathan, who healed a lifelong pattern of sexual attachment.
“I loved the fact that right from the get-go, I was challenged to identify what it is that I want. I brought a real and practical desire around sexuality to the course, and it was held by Edmond, Katara, and the cohort peers. I felt a complete obliteration and release of shame surrounding a lifelong pattern and watched as the desire liberated energy and excitement into my life.”
Before the program, every time Nathan felt sexual desire for a partner, he’d also feel an overwhelming sense of neediness. The clinginess would just push his partner away, leaving him sexually frustrated and helpless.
It created so much internal pain and suffering that he’d decided to swear off women and become celibate for six months.
By the end of the program, he felt like a new man, radiating confidence, feeling more securely attached regarding his desires than ever. He beamed about how he’d journaled about how his re-entry into the sexual world would feel like, and then, using tools from the course, manifested the exact sexual experience he wanted into being.
Imran Khan Software Entrepreneur
Meet Imran, who decided to follow a lifelong dream of traveling the world.
“The course helped me understand that following your desires is the most radical act of self-love that you could do for yourself and for other people around you. It helped me get deeper in touch with my desires and values and provided a really practical framework on how to make decisions based on them.”
Imran had been working so hard to make his parents proud. Ivy-league school, first job at a big tech company, now running his own e-commerce company generating millions of dollars of revenue per year.
He harbored a lifelong dream of traveling the world but always felt afraid of being judged and losing connection with his parents and loved ones.
When he realized that the only way to create the deep connection with family that he wanted was to actual reveal his dream, he finally talked with his parents and gave himself permission to take several months to travel the world — and his connection with his family is stronger than ever.
Mastering our relationship to desire is the single, highest-leverage skill we can develop toward living the life we truly want.

This course about connecting us with our core desires is the culmination of all that experience. And we’re excited to share it with you.
We’ve run 50+ workshops, programs, and multi-day retreats. Previous alumni have included entrepreneurs, consultants, world leaders, course creators, and people from well-known companies including Google, Facebook, Twitter, Asana, Dropbox, Stripe, Coinbase.

“Edmond and Katara model what secure attachment to your desires actually looks like, not because they were naturally born with that, but because they cultivated that for themselves. And to me, that's the most convincing type of person to learn from.”

“Edmond and Katara's raw caliber and dedication to this course makes this a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn about your desires.”
⛰️ What You’ll Learn
This is a highly experiential and practical course. Every piece of theory will be grounded in exercises, experimentation, and practice, so that you leave the course feeling the material deeply integrated into your life.
Here’s a week-by-week breakdown of each module.
Module 1: Diving Deep into Desire
- Develop radical honesty with yourself, with support from a community of practitioners — so that you can discover the deepest and most vulnerable desires that would create true fulfillment in your life.
- Develop an intimate connection with desire as your inner compass — so that you point yourself toward the life, work, and relationships you truly want, even when you don’t know the whole roadmap.
- Unearth the intelligence beneath each of your core desires — and understand the deeper WHY for wanting what you want.
- Discover the magic of yearning — and the energy and possibilities that open up when you let yourself want what you actually want.
- Be held in a space of unconditional love, kindness, and presence — so that you can explore your authentic desires without feeling alone in it.
Module 2: Navigating Desire and Fear
- Integrate a powerful somatic practice to open up space inside you to resolve emotions — so that you can have more freedom and choice on how to navigate your world.
- Uncover the feelings and sensations that you don’t know are holding you back — in a supportive container with care, kindness, and love.
- Expand your awareness of what’s possible in your life and increase your capacity to be with everything that comes along with that — including your resistance and fears.
- Increase your capacity to create and experience joy in your life, work, and relationships — so that you can break through upper limits and stabilize higher levels of joy in your life without collapse.
Module 3: Embracing the Obstacle as the Way
- Develop the path of secure attachment to any desire — holding them with an open palm without pushing them away or grasping for them.
- Reduce your graspiness and attachment to outcomes — so that you can take the pressure off and come to a place of joy, agility, and curiosity with your desires.
- Practice the power of surrender — and experience what’s possible when you allow life to unfold through you rather than needing to control it.
- Master a practical framework on how to make big decisions — in a way that feels self-loving and in alignment with your core values and desires.
- Refine the art of how to express your desires in a way that creates understanding and connection — and that increases the chances of the desire being met.
Module 4: Creating the Life We Were Born to Live
- Take actions of radical self-love through following your vulnerable desires out in the world — all while feeling inspired, supported, and challenged by a deeply loving community.
- Leverage desire as an automatic correction mechanism for bringing your life and your choices back into alignment — whenever you’re feeling lost.
- Discover the inner freedom and enjoyment that comes from flowing with the truth of your desires instead of trying to manage and control them.
- Own your truth in your relationships and stand powerfully in it — amidst the fire of resistance and no matter how others might react.

“I suffer from a tendency towards perfectionism and have leaned into being a more heart-centered person. This course accelerated and amplified that for me. I am now feeling as much as thinking and embodying the experiences of desire and fear. I align more of my energy with actions that make my heart sing and make me feel more alive.”

Jonny Miller Founder of Nervous System Mastery
★★★★★
“An embodied exploration of desire, skillfully guided, that creates the conditions for powerful and unexpected insights. I feel more in my body and greater curiosity around desire.”
★★★★★
“The experience was really powerful. I loved how somatic and re-patterning it was. It was really helpful to hear you describe the stuck ping pong, which is exactly what I’ve experienced for years. So then to hold both the fear and the desire and let the desire grow and grow really shifted something.”
Emily Letts Entrepreneur and Digital Marketer
★★★★★
“I can use the somatic tool you taught anytime I’m stuck in lack, in fear of abandonment, or in freeze, especially in my business. The desire supports our capacity to be with the fear.”
