❊ About The Model
This group is built on a simple idea: insight is most powerful when it happens in real time.
Rather than simply talking about an experience, this model emphasizes in-the-moment awareness—noticing how patterns show up as they are happening, in both body and mind.
Movement provides a natural entry point. Running brings forward the common strategies we use when relating to effort, discomfort, comparison, and self-talk.
Through guided reflection and group process, participants begin to develop a more flexible, compassionate way of relating to these experiences.
Training for a 5K gives the group a shared arc—something to move toward together. It offers a sense of commitment, gradual progress, and a collective experience of reaching the finish line side by side.
Over the course of the program, we’ll cover topics, like:
Inner dialogue & self-awareness
The tone, content, and timing of how you speak to yourself when things feel hard.
Mindfulness in movement
What it’s like to stay connected to your body in the moment, instead of moving on autopilot or disconnecting when discomfort arises.
Self-compassion & motivation
How you respond to yourself when you feel behind, inconsistent, or not “enough.”
Effort, rest & balance
Your relationship to pushing, slowing down, and permission to pause—both in movement and in life.
Everyday life connection
How these patterns show up far beyond running—in relationships, work, rest, and self-expectation.
