The Brave Hearts
EXPERIENCES
What if finding your way could look a little different?
You don’t have to know exactly what you need. Sometimes you just need somewhere to begin.
Brave Hearts brings people together through thoughtfully guided body, mind + soul experiences that invite you to try something different, reconnect with yourself, connect with others and discover what might help along the way.
And different really can mean different.
You might find yourself smashing a pumpkin and letting some shit go. Settling into a sound bath. Trying breathwork or somatic movement. Creating something with your hands. Walking among the trees. Laughing with people you only just met. Or trying something you never imagined would be for you.
There is no one way to do this. That’s kind of the point.
Come to one experience that speaks to you or join us for a Brave Hearts Experience Series and explore different ways in over time.
You don’t need experience. You don’t need to know anyone. And you don’t need to explain why you’re there.
Come curious. Try something different. See what resonates.
Come on your own or with someone you trust.
Just come as you are.
THE BRAVE HEARTS EXPERIENCE SERIES
Five experiences. Five different ways in.
Release → Rest → Express → Reconnect → Breathe
Choose the experience that speaks to you or come explore all five with us.
Each stands on its own. Together, they give you the chance to try different body, mind + soul experiences, discover what resonates and allow connection to grow along the way.
There is no right way to begin. Just choose your way in.

BODY • MIND • SOUL
Hard things can touch every part of us.
Sometimes we need to talk. Sometimes we need to move.
Sometimes we need to breathe, create, rest, laugh, cry, smash something, get outside or simply be around other people for a while.
Brave Hearts Experiences explore the body, mind + soul because what we live through can show up in our thoughts, emotions, bodies, relationships and the way we move through everyday life.
Some experiences may help you slow down. Others may help you release something, express something, reconnect with your body or remember what it feels like to enjoy yourself again.
Not everything will be for you. It isn’t supposed to be.
The invitation is simply to stay curious about what might be.
MORE THAN THE ACTIVITY
Come for what sounds good. Discover what helps.
Maybe it’s smashing a pumpkin. A sound bath. Breathwork. Creativity. Movement. Time outside. Something you already love or something you never imagined trying.
The experience is what gets us together.
What happens around it is what makes it Brave Hearts.
Each gathering creates space to try something, connect with other people, reflect if you want to and leave with something you can carry into everyday life.
There is no prescribed way through the hard and messy parts of life, and we don’t expect everyone to connect with the same things.
That’s why Brave Hearts gives you different ways in.
Try something. Notice what resonates. Leave the rest.
Healing Out Loud
You don’t have to tell everyone everything.
At the heart of Brave Hearts is something we call Healing Out Loud.
It is about giving words to what we carry so we don’t always have to carry it silently.
Sometimes those words are spoken. Sometimes they are written in a journal, scribbled onto a pumpkin, expressed through creativity, shared with one person or simply recognized privately when something hits home.
There will be opportunities for reflection, conversation and connection.
Sharing is always invited. It is never required.
Speak. Listen. Write. Create. Reflect quietly.
Your story always belongs to you.
WHAT MAKES IT A BRAVE HEARTS EXPERIENCE?
Different experiences. A few things you can always count on.
Every Brave Hearts Experience will look a little different.
But whatever brings us together, there are a few things we intentionally make room for:
SOMETHING TO EXPERIENCE
Something real to try, explore, make, feel, move through or simply enjoy
HEALING OUT LOUD
Opportunities to put words to what you are carrying in whatever way feels right for you
SPACE TO CONNECT
Conversation, shared experiences, laughter, listening or simply being alongside other people
YOUR BODY GETS A SAY TOO
Some experiences may include breath, movement, sound, grounding or other body-based practices that invite you to notice what is happening beyond your thoughts
SOMETHING TO TAKE WITH YOU
A tool, practice, idea, perspective or reminder you can experiment with after you leave
A COMMUNITY TO COME BACK TO
Because sometimes the people and connections we discover along the way become part of what helps too
BUILD WHAT WORKS FOR YOU
Take what resonates. Leave what doesn’t. Return to what helps.
Brave Hearts isn’t here to tell you how to heal.
We want to give you different ways to explore what helps.
You might discover a breathing practice that helps when life feels like a lot. Rediscover how much you love creating, moving your body or being outside. Find a new way to put words to what you’re carrying. Meet someone you want to stay connected with.
Or you might try something once and decide it is absolutely not your thing.
All of that counts.
Over time, you can begin building your own personal toolkit...made up of new discoveries, things you already know help you and even the people and connections you find along the way.
There is no prescribed toolkit and no expectation that the same things will work for everyone.
Take what resonates. Leave what doesn’t. Return to what helps.
Come for the experience. Leave with something you can carry forward.
CHOOSE YOUR WAY IN
One experience or all five. You decide.
Something already calling your name?
Start there.
Every Brave Hearts Experience is designed to stand on its own, so you can choose the gathering that interests you most without committing to anything else.
Or join us for the full five-experience series and give yourself the opportunity to explore different ways of supporting your body, mind + soul over time.
You’ll try different things. Take away different tools. See some familiar faces. And have the chance to notice what actually resonates with you.
You don’t have to commit to an outcome.
You don’t have to know which experience will matter most.
You just need somewhere to begin.
STAY CLOSE
Connection doesn’t have to end when the experience does.
Sometimes you leave an experience wanting to keep thinking about something.
Sometimes you meet someone you’d like to see again.
And sometimes it’s simply nice to know there is somewhere you can come back to.
The Brave Hearts Community on OneLight gives you a place to stay connected between experiences, continue conversations, respond to prompts, share what you’re discovering or quietly follow along.
Join a conversation.
Read quietly.
Say something when you want to. Stay connected to someone you met.
Or simply know we’re there.
You don’t have to attend an Experience first to belong.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Come curious. We’ll take it from there.
Every Brave Hearts Experience will be a little different, but you can expect a welcoming space, experienced facilitators and plenty of room to participate in the way that feels right for you.
There may be time to try something new, reflect, connect, laugh, write, move, breathe, create or simply take it all in.
You’ll never be expected to be good at the activity.
You don’t need experience.
You don’t need to know anyone.
And you definitely don’t need to arrive ready to tell your story.
Come curious. That is enough.
CHOICE + CARE
Your story belongs to you.
Some Brave Hearts Experiences may bring us close to things that feel tender, personal or emotional.
We take that seriously.
You may be invited to reflect, speak, move, create or try something new. You are also always allowed to say no.
Pass. Observe. Take a moment. Change your mind.
Sharing is always invited. Never required.
We also protect the privacy of the spaces we create.
Vulnerable moments are not content.
There will be no live streaming or video recording during personal sharing or other vulnerable moments. Photography and video will only happen in clearly identified settings and with the knowledge and consent of the people being captured.
You are always invited to find the words. You are never required to share them.
COME AS YOU ARE
Maybe this is your way in.
Maybe smashing a pumpkin sounds strangely satisfying.
Maybe you’re curious about sound, breath, creativity or movement.
Maybe you miss doing things that make you feel like yourself.
Maybe you want to meet some new people.
Maybe you want to laugh again.
Maybe you want to try something you’ve never done before.
Or maybe you have absolutely no idea what you need and you’re just ready to start somewhere.
That’s enough.
Come on your own or bring someone you trust.
Come for one experience or join us for the whole series.
Come ready to participate or take it in quietly.
Come curious. Come exactly as you are.
And leave with something you can carry forward.
