Courage Takes Spine (But Not Like That)
Brad Rutledge
WA: Don Reef
A lot of things pass for courage that are anything but. Real courage is often overlooked or scorned. Join guest-speaker Brad Rutledge as he journeys up the energy centers of the spine and examines how shadow courage and real courage play out in each. (Spoiler alert: courage at the top may just be the key to living deeply and authentically.)
