Best for: avoidance and anxious procrastination
This session uses the image of walking a path toward a distant mountain to explore the gentle art of approach — moving toward what you've been avoiding without forcing yourself to climb. You'll practise noticing the reasonable voice that talks you back, and learning to take one honest step closer to what matters. Drawn from acceptance-based approaches to anxiety, the practice favours proximity over conquest. By the end, you'll have a felt sense of how avoidance softens when met with patience rather than will.
