Journey of Courage

A path to greater authenticity and purpose for brave-hearted adventurers seeking soulful growth and meaningful change

Do you hear —amidst the noise and challenges of these times— something deep within you calling? Do you feel pulled out beyond the safe and familiar shores, towards a horizon where the truest, most authentic, and vibrant version of yourself has the courage to meet what the world needs now?

Welcome to the Journey of Courage,

a psychospiritual wellness program designed to help you find you true self and navigate these uncertain times with greater resilience, grace, and emotional depth.

Are you ready to step beyond the threshold?

Hearing the call is a profound moment, but not always an easy one. Whether you find yourself stuck at a standstill, navigating a crossroads, or on the verge of a new beginning or greater unfolding, stepping into uncharted waters is a journey.

Perhaps you:

  • have built a life that looks successful, yet feels incomplete.

  • feel caught in a cycle of anxiety, overwhelm, irritation or stress.

  • are burnt out or exhausted and want out of the grind.

  • are numbing out your own pain or the pain of the world

  • feel disconnected from yourself, a sense of the Sacred, Nature, Community or the Collective

  • find yourself at a crossroads where the old ways of being no longer serve the person you're becoming.

  • are yearning to create a life that aligns more with your heart, your values, vision and authentic expression.

  • have explored various paths of growth – therapy, coaching, spiritual practice – and feel called to dive deeper alongside others.

  • are tired of the never-ending self improvement cycle that promises change but delivers more of the same. 

  • begun to question whether there might be a different way forward than constantly trying to "fix" yourself

Consider the possibility that the very fact that you feel a tension – between who you truly are and how you're living – is not a problem to solve, but a threshold of possibility —an adventure —that is beckoning you forward. 

The Invitation

The journey isn’t about adding more—more knowledge, techniques, or strategies. It’s not another self-improvement course or a quick fix to keep you busy and distracted. In a world of information overload, we don’t need more; we need less.

It’s a gathering of like-minded souls, who are navigating these challenging times together. It’s showing up and doing transformational work in community, and it’s the structure, support and guidance we all need at various times along the way.

  • You want to live a fulfilling life and grow as a human 

  • You want to develop a daily practice of showing up mindfully and in alignment with what you really care about 

  • You feel stuck in outdated patterns (imposter syndrome, perfectionism) and habits (scrolling, over-working)

  • Your attempts at self-improvement aren’t working and you want off the hamster wheel

  • You’re interested in spiritual growth, healing and development but allergic to new-age dogma

  • You’re integrating other transformative teachings and experiences, from spirituality to psychedelics and beyond.

  • You want to get better at listening to your own inner knowing.

  • You want to connect with a community of fellow journeyers.

This is for you if:

  • You’re not interested in being more mindful or building a daily practice.

  • You need to focus on working through trauma or serious mental health issue before you can focus on personal development (reaching for help takes courage but this isn’t therapy).

  • You think fulfillment will come when others or the world are different.

  • You want someone else to tell you what to do and you aren’t interested in learning to listen to your own inner voice.

  • None of this resonates and you’re here because someone else thinks you should do it.

This is not for you if:

Each of us has a unique, authentic essence waiting to be fully expressed. Yet, so often, we stand in our own way. The self improvement projects we undertake, often reinforce our sense of deficiency and of not being enough.

This program was created by a therapist, coach, facilitator and fellow journeyer on the path, to help you uncover your essence, overcome internal barriers, and show up more fully for yourself and the world.

It’s not therapy, but you may find it therapeutic. Drawing from a wellspring of practices, including Mindfulness, IFS, the Work that Reconnects and Integral Unfoldment, it’s a space to build community, to cultivate mindful presence, transform emotional blocks, and build a foundation of deep connection and meaning.

It’s an invitation to embrace the unknown with curiosity and courage—and to discover the profound truth of who you are, so you can bring your authentic self to the world in a way that makes a difference. No big deal, right?

What These Brave Journeyers Found…

  • The Journey of Courage is an impressive synthesis of some of my favourite evidence-based approaches to mind-body integration. Trina's capacity to create a sensitive and strong container, and her sincere interest and encouragement of participants helped me to move forward in my life and connect to myself in new ways.

    Catherine, Registered Osteopath

  • The Journey of Courage changed the way I see myself and relate to the world almost immediately. I now move through life with so much more purpose and confidence.

    Tinka, CEO of Puzzle Lab

  • The Journey of Courage guided me to explore my tendencies and how I get stuck. With gentle guidance, I was able to support my own feelings and make meaningful changes.

    Sheri, Retired Yoga Teacher and Investor

Hello, I’m Trina Woods

MSW, RSW

I’m the creator of the Journey of Courage and a fellow traveller. I understand what it’s like to stand at the threshold, to sense there is a truer and more aligned version of myself, and to feel the old story holding me back.

Admittedly, I created this course because I am on my own journey of courage. As I navigate the midlife transition and let go of the old adaptive strategies that no longer support the person I am becoming, I’ve needed the very wisdom and support that I am offering here.

The life and nervous system I built for myself in my first decades was made to ensure my survival. I have come to see that continuing on this path is a recipe for burnt out and exhaustion. The path to thriving is one I walk every day.

This program is the best of what I’ve learned, both from my own healing journey and that of my clients. As a student and practitioner at the intersection of contemplative traditions and science for over two decades, I draw from a wellspring of knowledge and wisdom including: IFS, psychedelic integration, mindfulness, non-dual philosophy, neuroscience, my training in integral unfoldment coaching and my facilitation of the Work that Reconnects.

I would be honoured if you join me and other likeminded journeyers on a transformative adventure— an integration of mind-body approaches, that we’ll put into practice in service of living a life of depth and meaning.

The Modules

  • We dive in to explore and connect with our authenticity and intention. Through daily practices and self-reflection we lay the foundation for embodied presence and authentic self-leadership.

  • With an emphasis on embodied presence, self-care, and exploring the patterns that either support or sabotage the journey, we will deepen our connection with ourselves by understanding our inner dynamics and nurturing our physical and emotional well-being. 

  • We develop a practice of navigating daily life in alignment with our deepest intentions and personal goals. We also deepen our exploration of the obstacles to authentic expression and explore practices that support us to move forward courageously. 

  • Through connection to our inner guidance we learn to skillfully navigate the difficult experiences and feelings we face in life. We continue to practice in order to build resilience, discover our inner strength, and ride the waves of fear and pain with greater presence and capacity.

  • We come home to our authentic selves, uncovering our inner essence and unique expression – the gold within. We discover ways to harness tendencies that once imprisoned us and express ourselves more fully in our lives and the world.

  • Through celebration of our journey and the insights and experiences we've gained, we consolidate and integrate, turning them into new ways of being. From this new alignment we create a plan to go forth on our journey with ongoing support so we can continue to courageously express of our true selves.
