Your Sunshine Goals and shadow goals

You Have Sunshine Goals:

(you know….quit procrastinating, write a book, clear the clutter, get back to the gym…all that stuff that you don’t mind admitting publicly)

And

You Have Shadow Goals:

(a desire to heal your broken heart, deal with your debt, manage your disappointment, figure out if you really do need to leave that job or that marriage…)

And

It’s time we dealt with ALL of it, don’t you think?

step 3: CREATING A BEAUTIFUL FUTURE FOR YOU

Sam’s got some practical, zero-woo strategies so you can remain calm, productive and centered in the days and weeks to come. We’ll create an action plan (or maybe a non-action plan!) that works for you. No matter what life throws at you.

BONUS GIFT: SAM'S FAMOUS "DROP" MEDITATION

This non-denominational meditation invites you to drop your old stories, burdens and sorrows and simply be where you are. Countless people have found solace and even laughter in this sensible, honest recorded prayer. It’s your gift from Sam, just as a “thank you” for registering & attending live.

The last few years have been challenging.
Disorienting at best; terribly painful at worst.

We’ve lost time…money…and some good friends.

And while it’s easy to say, “the pandemic is over”….
the truth is that we are still living with the emotional, medical, financial and interpersonal effects.

it’s time to stop pretending that everything is “fine”
and figure out how to move forward
with grace

Save your seat

This live event is perfect for you if:

You are a smart person who loves unusual solutions
You are ready to see some PEACEFUL PROGRESS in your life
You are done with the daily hamster wheel grind of it all
You’ve begun to think that the whole idea of “me time” is a f*cking joke
You find yourself a bit confused about where your life is headed
You love a good laugh and signs of real progress
Your regular coping strategies aren’t working as well as they once did

AND— You May be Resistant to This Because:

You feel like the last thing you need is another Zoom on your calendar
You don’t want to start something and then not finish it
You’ve signed up for things before – and somehow you’re always the smartest person in the room, which is kind of exhausting
You’re already pretty sophisticated with this self-help stuff
You know that if you do it and it works…there’s going to be a very real shift in your life

You Might Have Seen Sam In

A NOTE FROM SAM:

The past few years have been rough, right?

I mean, a lot of wonderful things have happened….

And….

I’ve been living with long-haul covid for the past 18 momths.

I lost my father, my best friend, and my home.

My business has suffered.

My world has tilted off its axis.

And while I certainly know how to keep going – no matter what – I’ve found my old strategies just don’t work as well.

I’m missing my old stamina.

My ambition seems to have taken a long hike into the wilderness.

My energy levels are unpredictable.

And I don’t have very many safe places to process all this.

Maybe you feel the same?

So I thought that we might set aside all the usual rah-rah of productivity training for a moment and go deeper.

I’m inviting you into a circle where you can – safely and swiftly – process some of your unresolved grief (not that grief ever really goes away, but it can become a friend) and start to find a new path.

By taking a look at your Sunshine Goals and your Shadow Goals we can start to balance the traditional measurements of accomplishment with the deeper longings of your heart and spirit…

and then….

You can… unleash your magic.

You can… move mountains in a blink.

You can… make your relationships more delightful.

You can… start your side hustle without any hustle at all.

You can… write your book.

You can… double your income.

You can… dramatically improve your health and wellbeing.

Try this with me and you’ll discover how to create a new, more balanced reality for yourself.

It won’t be the same as it was before.

That’s impossible.

But your life can be richer and more meaningful when you are bringing your whole, integrated self to each day.

I can’t wait to get started and see what amazing things you create.

P.S. I have been a teacher and mentor for over 20 years, but I am not a doctor, a therapist or even a certified coach. This training is created as a layperson’s poetic guided journey through the shadows and light we all experience. It is not meant to be taken as medical advice or theraputic treatment. If you are having difficulties with your physical or mental state of being, please seek professional attention. Thank you.

Praise for Sam Bennett & Her Teaching

There are few people who blend a rational sense of system so beautifully with an open and caring heart. Samantha Bennett is the definition of a teacher/guide – she imparts awareness and knowledge with the gusto of an Irish bartender and holds her students close like the protective lioness grooming her cubs to rule their jungle.

–Sam Christensen

Sam Christensen Studios

Sam has dedicated an enormous part of her life to helping us all deftly juggle our creative desires – the screenplay and the pottery kiln and the dance lessons (or in my case, the martial arts classes). So have fun, don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do it, and keep Sam around as your capable guide.

–Keegan-Michael Key

Co-creator, "Key and Peele," actor, writer, producer and big movie star

I keep digging deep into who I might be. Sam is such a true guide that I feel as if I’m in some kind of epic “Lord of the Rings” type story! I’ve had some deep down dark times but now the path keeps becoming more sparkly. I don’t think of myself as a writer yet I think the biggest gift of many years of working with Sam is that more and more I’ve discovered writing as the most fundamental part of my expression on this creative journey.
