A first step beneath the surface
About This Edition
This is the Starter Edition of Beneath the Surface — the 8-week journal readers keep calling the grown-up one. Twelve of its forty guided prompts, chosen to stand alone — no prior weeks needed — each with a short note on the real psychology or wisdom tradition behind it: Polyvagal theory, IFS parts work, Mettā, Stoicism, Wu Wei.
Same depth, same design, same honest pacing as the full edition — just a shorter path, so you can find out whether this kind of work is for you before committing to the full eight weeks.
