The 5 Flavor Families

A live online course on Embodied Archetypes

 

Next Session December 7, 2024

5 Sessions x 5 Families x 55 Flavors = A Multitude of Embodied Expressions

 

Within each of us lies a rich multitude of expressions. Our bodies and hearts yearn to play as the richness of life itself, yet we are often held back by lack of skill, capacity or permission.

In this first of its kind online course you will gain increased capacity of expression, a deeper understanding of your native flavor and a vast variety of flavors to play with.

As you understand the role of each flavor family within your life and relationships you can use flavors as a remedy for feeling stuck or stunted and as the variety that creates and renews erotic friction and play.

When we know how to unlock this array of flavors we can begin to free our limitless potential. 

In each session we will explore the embodied archetypal expressions of the distinct flavor family. 

Session 1: Sublime Mystery

Session 2:  Glorious Light

Session 3: Courageous Heart

Session 4: Secret Depth

Session 5: Flavor Medicine

You will engage in practices, exercises, considerations and personal explorations. Each session offers the opportunity to receive personalized feedback from Michaela and participate in Q&A’s and group processes.

This course connects with the material of the 55 Flavors Deck and the Flavor Immersion, but offers distinct material and explorations. We will engage with the Archetypal aspects of each flavor family.

 As each flavor holds different meaning depending on where you find yourself on the flavor spectrum, this class offers deeply personalized explorations. 

You can combine the in-person and online flavor offerings for a deeper immersion into a full bodied personal expression. 

When you sign up for all 5 sessions, you will receive a 50% discount on all live (online or in-person) events hosted by Michaela and Steve through the end of 2024.

The 5 Flavor Families 

 

The “Glorious Light” Flavor Family is a collection of light flavors, which feel expansive, playful and lightweight. The lighter the flavor the more cooling it feels in our system. The light range typically expresses itself with lighter colors and is felt higher up in the body and in the more subtle realms of awareness.

 

The “Courageous Heart” Flavor Family expresses the medium range of flavors. Those flavors feel centered, heart connected, nourishing and evoke a sense of “being in the world”. They serve as a reminder of our connected humanity and the compassion of the human heart.

 

The “ Secret Depth” Flavor Family is not only darker on the color palette, but heavier and more grounded in feeling. The darker the flavor the more “spicy” and enlivening it is perceived. Dark flavors reside in the lower body and are often connected with the more erotic aspects of our experience. This doesn’t necessarily mean the actual flavor is erotic, but that it enlivens the body in a way that lends itself to those explorations.

Within this category we can often find flavors that are connected to “The Underworld”, shamanic explorations, taboos and uncharted territories. This flavor range often invites us to be adventurous and open minded.

 

The “Flavor Medicine” Family is a collection of remedies. As mentioned in the remedy practice section, these flavors are designed to counteract tendencies and shake up old patterns and habits. Remedy flavors have strong qualities that inspire and sometimes repel us. Engaging with this family is good, strong medicine.

 

The “Sublime Mystery” Flavor Family invites you into the realms of the Divine. Allow these cards to remind you of the sublime eternal expressions of “The Mystery”. Merge with Her in all Her glorious forms. This collection is an invitation to feel beyond yourself and expand your hearts capacity into the ineffable.
