“This course has changed my life completely, in ways I have been searching for, through almost all religions and spiritualities since I was about 11.”
-Leanne
Two years ago, something incredible happened.
To this day, I still describe it as a miracle.
I proposed to my now wife.
It doesn’t sound like anything out of the ordinary. People get engaged every day.
But if you knew the journey it took to get there…
The ups and downs
The multiple breaks
Trying and failing to let go
Desperately wanting it to work
The heart-wrenching confusion
The refusal to move forward unless it was a full “yes”
The fact that we were broken up for 6 months up until the day we got engaged
And then the spontaneous heart opening that happened on a rooftop in Mexico that gave me the deepest clarity to marry this woman.
Well, you might then understand why I call this a “miracle.”
In short, it felt like a curse was lifted.
Like a wall melted around my heart.
A part of me that was scared of commitment, that kept saying “no” when I thought about taking the next step, completely let go.
It was a young part of me.
It was unconscious.
And it was DEEP.
So deep that even with a decade of meditation practice and thousands of hours of personal growth work, I still wasn’t able to see it.
But there it was, clear as day, thawing like a wall of ice in the desert sun.
And as it did, I was seeing and releasing the beliefs, memories, and fears that put that wall there in the first place.
Early friendship wounds.
Ways I learned that solitude was safer.
Young ideas about what a “perfect partner” was.
…all being revealed and released.
It felt like a psychedelic experience.
Or a dream.
“This can’t actually be happening” I thought.
But it was.
And after 30 minutes of this unwinding, something was very different.
My chest was soft.
My mind felt light.
My heart seemed bigger.
And when I thought about proposing to Brianna, the response was simple:
“Of course.”
I sat in quiet disbelief.
Taking it in with a soft smile and tears in my eyes.
Shortly after, we got engaged.
Seven months later, we were married.
And now we have a 1-year-old son.
All unfolding within the current of Truth and Love.
There’s so much more I could share about the details of our journey.
But this isn’t about those details.
And it’s not about getting your dream relationship.
It’s about one thing…
What really happened on that rooftop in Mexico?
That moment of opening that miraculously dissolved all ambiguity.
I had been deeply curious about that moment ever since it happened.
What was it?
How did it happen?
Can it happen again?
And if so, can it be reverse-engineered?
I didn’t had good answers to that (especially the last question) until recently.
Which brings us to this course.
Once I knew how to replicate that process, I had about six more of these experiences.
Calcified internal walls, layered with old beliefs, fears, and emotions, have been dissolving before my eyes, one by one, and subsequently transforming my relationship with other people, myself, and my capacity to truly love my life.
But this time, they weren’t spontaneous.
I was doing a particular practice, in a particular way, that was predictably, and regularly, creating these experiences.
That’s what led me to launch this course at the end of 2024, where hundreds were transformed through this process (you can read some of the testimonials below).
Now, I’m opening it up again.
You will receive all of the course material (pre-recorded) and five LIVE sessions with me to guide you through the process.
“Opening the Heart” is the most potent program I’ve offered.
If you feel blocked in any way.
If your heart feels shut down.
If you’re holding on to grudges.
If you can’t forgive someone.
If you can’t forgive yourself.
If you’re stuck in regret.
This course is for you.
If you feel insecure.
If you keep yourself small.
If you feel like an imposter.
If you struggle with confidence.
If you feel like you live your life in fear.
This course is for you.
If you feel stuck with a big decision.
If you feel like you sabotage your growth.
If you struggle to connect to an inner compass that could guide your life.
If you feel like a part of you wants one thing but another part of you wants another.
This course is for you.
If you feel like there’s something deep down that is subconsciously keeping you anchored to a certain way of being, relating, expressing–and you can’t quite get to it, despite all the personal growth work you’ve done…
This course is for you.
And if you’re compelled by the prospect of softening the longstanding, outdated, protective walls that prevent you from feeling the full warmth, safety, and gratitude that comes with resting in your true nature…
This course is for you.
Over these 8 weeks, we are going to descend through the layers that guard your heart.
It will make you more loving, open, and connectable, yes.
But my bigger intention?
To get you to the core “blocks” that cause you to stay stuck in the same patterns, sabotage your growth, and keep you in unsatisfying, frustrating relationship dynamics rather than deeply fulfilling, intimate, and connected relationships.
The work I’ll be inviting you into is deep.
This course is structured as a full immersion (as you’ll see in the schedule below), designed to get you to those deeper layers that can only be reached with precise attunement, consistent practice, and a container of safety.
You don’t have to follow the schedule as it’s presented.
Everything is recorded and you can go at your own pace if you prefer. You’ll have lifelong access to the content.
I give you everything I have over these 8 weeks.
I’ll be fully plugged in, guiding you each step of the way.
I can’t guarantee what your process will be. The inner world often has its own timeline. But what I can guarantee is that if you go through the process, you will do some serious unwinding of the subconscious patterns that run your behavior, and potentially have some of the biggest transformations of your life.
And if you complete the course, and it was not worth your time, I will gladly refund your money. Full heart.
One final note: We will discuss how to navigate trauma energy as it arises. It’s inevitable with this kind of work. But if you have significant trauma, I do recommend having a therapist for extra support. We can offer recommendations if you need them.
I look forward to working with you.
Big love,
Cory
