Set You FREE!
Group Coaching Program
Tune in to the body to find your deep truth.
8-week program begins January 19, 2022.
The Body is always speaking. In it's message you will always find truth.
In a world structured by systems that feed off of our belief in their lies, this is important.
It means that we can break free.
It means that we already have the vast majority of what we need within us.
And it means that you don't necessarily need to seek out a guru, a leader, or a teacher to tell you what's real. The ultimate truth-teller is always with you, always communicating, just waiting for your attention.
All you need is space and support to unlearn the lies and lifestyle of distraction you've been taught.
In the right container, with like-minded folks around you, you'll find that the ultimate truth-teller is YOU.
Once you can tune in and listen to the message, you can begin to live that truth.
This is self-determination.
This is freedom.

Black folks deserve deep freedom.
This program is for Black folks who are ready to get free.
It is for those of us who take the internal work of self-sovereignty seriously, and see its connection to the external, communal work of liberation as both beautiful symbolism and practical pursuit.
This is for people who understand that the personal is political, and who know their healing ripples out to effect change in the collective.
Finally, this is for my people who have become severely uncomfortable with their own status quo - beautiful melanated people for whom the tension between what is and what is meant has become too great. It's for people who are feeling the weight of a new calling in the tension in their shoulders, the aches in their backs and feet, the queasiness in their stomachs as they begin another day lived in less-than truth.
This is for the folks who understand that these pains and discomforts are the body whispering a vision of a new, vibrant life... but who have been struggling to hear.
Set You FREE! is for Black folks who know they deserve a freedom they can feel...
...and who are ready to claim it.
Why we do this work together.
Carmen R. H. Chandler
Feel into your truth & let it lead your decision.
Sit with yourself and the information you've gained here. Take a deep breath. Then, tune into your body as you consider the following:
What is the biggest obstacle between you and your truest, most liberated self right now?
How does the thought of that obstacle manifest in your physical body and/or day-to-day life?
What is it that you really want to gain from your Freedom Journey?
How will it feel in your body when you fully claim that piece of freedom for yourself?
How will your freedom show up in your day-to-day life once you are standing in it fully?
How have you tried to create this vision of freedom for yourself in the past?
Why didn't that work, or why isn't it working now?
Are you ready to go deeper into yourself to discover the internal and external factors obstructing your freedom?
Are you willing to do this work in community, holding space for other Black folks to get free as they hold space for you?
