Why Foundations
Before you can lead a heart, you have to live in one
Every Heart iQ journey stands on the same ground: the ability to feel what is true in your own body, follow it, and speak it in connection. Foundations trains exactly that, in small daily steps anyone can take.
It is the course we recommend alongside every other Heart iQ training, and the one members return to years later. The practices are simple. Living them changes how you relate to everything: your feelings, your partner, your work, your circle.
- A daily, embodied practice for listening to and following your heart
- The ability to track what is actually happening in you, moment to moment
- A working map of your defences and where they came from
- More range: anger, grief, joy, and tenderness all get room to move
- The core circle skills that every Heart iQ space is built on
- Language for your needs, boundaries, and truth in relationship
