What if leading your life begins by listening inward?
We all lead something: our personal paths, our relationships, our creative work, our families, or the commitments that matter most to us. Yet uncertainty, change, and the noise of everyday life can pull us away from ourselves. We may fall into old patterns, override what we know intuitively inside, or lose touch with our own center.​
Lead an Embodied Life is an invitation to come home to yourself.
Drawing from Rhodes Perry’s forthcoming book, Lead Embodied: Roads Less Traveled to Authentic Leadership, this interactive gathering brings together storytelling, gentle reflection, and accessible somatic practices to help you listen inward, recognize how your body responds to stress, and reconnect with what is truly meaningful to you.
Rather than overriding the body, you will learn to partner with it as a source of deep wisdom, comfort, and inner trust. You’ll leave with simple tools for grounding and centering, greater personal clarity, and a renewed capacity to navigate life's transitions with presence, authenticity, and ease.
​
YOU’LL EXPLORE
  • The Body as a Compass: Discover what becomes possible when you listen to the subtle information your thinking mind overlooks.
  • Recognizing Your Patterns: Notice the familiar ways you brace, rush, please, or disconnect when life feels demanding.
  • From Reactivity to Choice: Practice creating gentle space between what happens around you and how you respond within yourself.
  • What Matters Most: Reconnect with the values, connections, and intentions that nourish your true self.
  • Your Embodied Commitment: Identify one grounded, practical way to honor what matters most in your daily life.
NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
This gathering is for anyone moving through change, personal transition, or the longing to live more grounded and true to themselves—including wellness seekers, caregivers, spiritual practitioners, helping professionals, community members, and anyone interested in personal growth and embodied living.
  • Format: Interactive in-person experience
  • Includes: Selected author readings from Lead Embodied, guided reflection, experiential somatic practices, and a signed copy of the book
  • Exchange: Sliding scale, $33 - 44/per person • Includes signed copy of Lead Embodied
Space is limited to keep our circle intimate.
