Courses & Workshops
The wisdom we access in mindfulness meditation teaches us not how to be better but to be whole―that every part of our gifted being has a right to exist and is enough. The only way to remember this wholeness is in relationship...
Our online courses and workshops have been developed uniquely for gifted adults. They are designed and facilitated by GMC founder, Kelly Pryde, PhD. Participants are gifted and neurocomplex adults who are committed to and invested in their own personal growth and to growing together with their gifted peers. An integral aspect of our offerings is relational mindfulness, thus our courses and workshops are intentionally small and center on co-creativity and compassionate presence.
The Art of Mindfulness for the Gifted Journey
Originally our Foundations program, this online course is an experiential journey into mindfulness and a clear path to learning how to engage in contemplative practices in your life as a gifted/neurocomplex adult. It is ideal for those who want to learn how to slow down (in a gifted-friendly way!), develop gifted-sensitive approaches to mindfulness to support their intensity and complexity, get in deeper touch with their gifted selves, and embody new possibilities for authentic self-expression and connection.​ This program is as a deep dive into the LACE and FLOW frameworks Kelly has developed as transformative pathways for gifted living at this time in our world.
Mindful Explorations of Gifted Feminine Anger & Shame
These online workshops are gifted and neurocomplex women-centered. They are offered separately but weave together in a way that recognizes the entanglement of the energetic threads of anger, shame and rage. Many participants participate in both offerings though it is not necessary, nor to take them in any particular order.
In this workshop, we co-create a compassionate container in which to give unapologetic voice to gifted women's anger & rage, exploring their truth and complexity and learning tools for embracing and going forth with them in skillful, empowered ways. The workshop draws on myth, gifted, contemplative and depth psychologies, as well as creative expression.
Gifted shame is perhaps the most painful and complex of emotions underlying a host of struggles common to gifted and neurocomplex women. In this workshop, we mindfully name these complex layers and begin re-storying what has never been ours to carry. Each participant is invited to draw on her unique constellation of traits as we journey into the imaginal realm to meet gifted feminine shame in a new, transformative way.
