When you think of the word “rest”, what comes to mind? For many of us, who are busy “holding it down” in the world, we might think of simply getting a full night’s sleep, reading a good book on the couch or treating ourselves to a spa massage.
This guide provides a framework for sharing personal stories of loss and heartbreak in a way that connects deeply with your audience. By using the acronym HEART, storytellers can structure their experiences to evoke empathy and offer hope.
AIR: A Private Session with Bernadette (90 Minutes)
When you’re in heightened states of emotion, you become clenched and closed down. It feels like there’s no air because you’re not breathing. In a single private session with Bernadette, you’re able to release the contraction and create a pocket of air so you have some wiggle room. This allows you to move forward with more clarity and calm.
AIR is for you if:
You’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed with fear, grief, rage or other emotional upset.
You’re looking for a place to safely give voice (and movement) to what you’re feeling.
You need to have a hard conversation with someone and want tools and support for how to handle it in a confident, empowered way.
You’re feeling disconnected from your body and want to feel more sensual.

Say YES to Body Liberation.
Your body is your temple—the Sacred home that carries you through your life journey... the only one you have this time around, right?
Yet, we often spend life fighting the body, abusing it, and hating ourselves for being seen inside a skin that isn’t perfect—sculpted of muscles and fat in just the right proportion, gender correct, smelling nice, no wrinkles, no rolls, no frizz...and on and on.
You may know this torture chamber of negative self-talk. And if so, only YOU can stop the war with your body!
Flower of Life Press proudly presents "Sacred Body Wisdom: Igniting the Flame of Our Divine Humanity"—a powerful collection of the voices of change, featuring authors Rochelle Schieck, Zahava Griss, Bernadette Pleasant, plus contributions from 16+ new paradigm leaders.
By making peace with your body and treating it with unconditional love and respect, you will discover the heart of your own Sacred Body Wisdom.
Say YES to Body Liberation. Say YES to love.

Grief is a natural response to loss, and even, to change. Yet grief is too often avoided and considered a taboo topic to discuss or express. So we end up carrying around our grief, not knowing what to do with it. But when we don’t grieve, we end up living numbed-out, half-lived versions of our lives.
Which is why I created the Sacred Grief Ritual Guidebook: to provide you with a step by step set of instructions that you can follow (and customize to your own situation) to express your grief in safe and constructive ways. Because when we create rituals to honor our grief, we are able to live our lives fully: alive, awake and authentically.
Return to Rest Experience with Bernadette Pleasant
What if rest wasn't something you earned, but something you returned to?
Return to Rest is a one-hour Rest Practices (sleep meditation) experience woven with storytelling, sound, and silence. You will lie down, or sit in whatever way your body understands as rest, and be guided home.
Session:
Monday, July 13th at 8 PM ET
What to expect:
90-mins of guided Rest Practices (sleep meditation)
Storytelling, sound, and intentional silence
A space to stop holding it all alone
This is a space to put some of that down.
Not all at once.
Not perfectly.
Just honestly.
Over three sessions, you’ll be guided to:
arrive in your body
soften what’s been held
remember rest as something you can return to
This is not something to get right.
This is practice. This is ritual.
Bernadette-ism: Rest is not a reward. It is a place you are allowed to live.
