I was recently asked that in a podcast I did. We are almost half way through the beta testing of my emotional surfing framework which is a self paced interactive project I have been putting together. I will let you know when it is released for a broader audience sometime later this year. I want to thank those that stepped up and said yes to running through the beta testing, giving their feedback and helping me make the final edit.

I am putting my monthly community calls on hold for a bit. We will still have the First Wave calls. I want to stay focused on completing the interactive framework I’ve been creating, Riding the Waves of Emotions, so I can make it more widely available. And honestly, I think it is that good. We are almost halfway through the beta testing, and the feedback I’m getting is reminding me why I have put so much time, energy, and heart into this. One of my favorite responses so far was this: “I loved this module — the actual seduction or what an emotion offers you... I had never thought about that, and the way the module flowed is amazing. I cried and floated in the wave, held hands with my emotion and thanked it for riding this wave with me. I respect what it has shown me and very oddly found that it offered me comfort, by just recognizing it and riding the wave, being able to release its hand and have such gratitude for my own heart in truly feeling it.” This is why I’m doing this. Once beta testing is finished, I’ll take the feedback, make the edits, and get this out there for others to experience. So for now, I’m choosing focus. And that feels right.

Getting through the chaos of a journey—whether in life or in ceremony—has been one of my greatest challenges. During a private Aya ceremony, the shaman and I spent hours talking through that process. Out of those conversations, the Alchemy of Chaos Wheel began to emerge. I’m still embodying what was given to me during those two days. It’s one thing to understand something with your mind. It’s another to embody it. And beyond that, to actually live it. That’s the part I’m still practicing. I haven’t had the opportunity to fully weave this into my facilitation work yet, but I have shared it with other facilitators as a tool they might find helpful. Now I’d like to share it with all of you. During that ceremony, the shaman read passages from my book, An Invitation to Shine: From Invisible to Invincible. The conversations we had, together with the interactive Emotions Wheel I had already created, inspired what eventually became this Alchemy of Chaos Wheel. I don’t see it as something to master. I see it as something to return to, again and again, whenever life feels uncertain. It’s my gift to you. Use it. Share it. If it helps you navigate your own moments of chaos with a little more awareness and a little more grace, then it has already done what it was created to do.. You can find the link to both the alchemy of chaos wheel and the emotions wheel here. https://kimberhardick.netlify.app/tools We are almost halfway through the beta testing of the Riding, the waves of emotions framework, and I soon will be sharing it and making it available more broadly. Stay tuned.
