Drawing from the deep well of the Balinese Tri Hita Karana
(love of all beings, nature and the divine),
and years of integrating somatic wisdom
through both the lens of both science and spirit ,
Jo encourages embodied transformation and juicy insight
into our own courage,
discipline and compassion to live and love as we truly are.
