Welcome home to your true Self.
When we are not aligned with our true selves, we act from fear not love. We resist what is present in our reality and escape the responsibility of ourselves, others and our world. We neglect our needs and have unclear boundaries in relationships. We don’t listen to our feelings and we find it hard to forgive and let go. The individual is not to blame for this, but each one of us has an opportunity to make a change.
To reconnect to our authentic selves beyond dogmas and belief systems, we need to stop and take a deep dive inside. We need to increase our self-awareness and learn to feel and express ourselves freely and truthfully. We need to be in relation, to see and be seen, to feel and be felt. We need to align with our hearts and find the joy of being who we are.
Joy of Being self-discovery programs are inner journeys fulfilling these needs. The programs are created by Harriet Fagerholm, a pedagogical genius and co-creative guide to the mysteries of self-awareness, self-healing and culture.

The Joy of Being programs lean on a gentle inquiry of self in a relational space. The method is a combination of guided meditation, creative journaling and sharing with a pair and small intimate group. The method, as well as the whole Joy of Being work, has a strong theoretical foundation.
