This is especially designed for you who are Healers and Changemakers and Spiritual Entrepreneurs, who struggle with abandoning yourself in your passion to make a difference, which may show up as a pattern of giving your energy away, putting everyone else first, leaving you feeling drained, overwhelmed and out of balance.

A bit about my story:

I know what it is like to have done a lot of work on myself and still be in the grip of old patterns I thought I cleared.

Since my early 20’s, I have journeyed all over the world, done vision quests, studied & trained with masters and it has been a process to heal those parts of myself that were so harsh and self-critical over many years.

I slowly became aware of all the ways I betrayed myself because, I was unable to love myself and I was abandoning me. It took me a while to realize the level of betrayal and self – abandonment and how it was affecting so many areas of my life.

One of my breakthroughs came when I committed to living in right relationship to myself in the middle of a desert in Joshua Tree where my heart was cracked open!!

It eventually led me to create the Radical Self Nourishment Program in 2012, as I knew that I was not alone in suffering from this core wound.

My most profound healings, transmutations and realizations have come from my relationship with the Earth. It has been a beautiful, astonishingly powerful and magical journey. As a yoga teacher, vocal sound healer, ceremonial artist & Spiritual guide, I am passionate about assisting you to embody radical self nourishment and to ground into a sense of belonging to your Self and to the Earth, so you can unleash your power, potential and creativity in your life and in your healing and make a massive difference in your change making work especially at this critical moment on our planet. It is your time to step up and share your gifts as a leader and your Self care is essential!

Here is what people are saying

Before I joined RSN during covid I was focusing on problems and on other people and was neglecting myself. Through the 7 Week Program I released my stress reaction to the crisis and have increased my serenity and capacity to care for my health and well being. RSN was deeply nourishing and kept me accountable for my self care. The ceremonial format both enriched my Spiritual experience and helped me take doable actions to practice self care every day! It opened up a weekly space for me to relax and receive soothing and self-replenishing practices that I can do whenever I need them. Deborah brings an openness, a reflective space, magic, compassion and deep understanding to others and I felt blessed to receive her gifts.

Deborah has a gift with creating magical, sacred space for deep work to happen. Through the Radical Self Nourishment Program, my husband and I deepened our connection to ourselves, one another, and the world around us. It was invaluable and I am forever grateful for her commitment and compassion to make these practices so accessible.

Deborah Brodey, you are phenomenal! I love all the transformative magic & alchemy of your Radical Self Nourishment series. Who knew empowerment, leadership development could be so gentle and fun. It’s one of my favourite practices for self-care – it’s one of the easiest, gentlest and fun ways for my mind to de-stress and recharge. Essential for my healing practice! And just being in Deborah Brodey’s presence is uplifting in itself.

As I integrate Deborah’s recent 7-week Radical Self Nourishment program, I’m really appreciating so much about the program. The 5 yogic concepts of what it means to take care of myself in a coherent way was perfect to learn about and lean into as I continue to heal and process grief from some big losses in my life. Deborah’s inviting presence and embodied wisdom was incredibly inspiring and healing, and I’ll be using what I learned and experienced in an active way going forward (vs. filing RSN away as just another teaching). Thank you Deborah!

My experience with the RSN course was that it gave me permission to tap into my feelings and my sense of play. I was reminded that nourishing my self is my sacred responsibility and that I am worth great nourishment. I was unaware that I was blocking true contentment and good will in my life…. I felt supported and reminded that I am making a commitment to myself. I also benefitted from receiving insights about my own inner world reminding me that I am truly a joyful being with lots to share. I learned that consistence is the key to nourishing my life and following a template that supports my daily reconnection to my heart. Deborah radiates and embodies a deeply compassionate and kind heart. Her presence is loving and welcoming. She listens and reflects teachings that support an individual’s need and weaves it into the group’s field of good will and love of others. I also enjoyed hearing other participants’ insights and progress along our shared journey. I liked how our stories and “ah ha” moments weaved together a common thread.
