Law is a flipping stressful career. It starts at university/ college where you're encouraged to completely cut off large parts of who you are. You will feel like you're the only one not coping very well, and you'll learn to wear a professional mask that says you're just fine. Above all you will led to believe that only your intellect matters - who you actually are as a person is indicated by all the powers that be as being kind of irrelevant. Also, regardless of your path, it's likely you find yourself in organisations that place huge importance on hierarchy, so even if your ideas are brilliant, where you are in the pecking order will be given precedence. But here's the thing: there is another way to practise law. A way that aligns with who YOUare and who you came here to be.

There are 1000's of lawyers all over the world practising law in alignment with their values, transforming people's lives and involved in their own journeys of personal development. Many self-identify as part of the Integrative Law Movement but just as many don't know such a movement exists. These lawyers have found this path the hard way: through blood, sweat and tears, nervous breakdowns and failed marriages, they had to come to the point of saying ENOUGH and finding a new way to practise. You don't have to walk the same path. You can choose differently now. But it will mean swimming against the tide and that's tough. But not as tough as getting to say, 40 years old and realising you just can't practise like this anymore. The rewards may be good (if you're lucky) but the cost is way, way too high.

So take this course. There may be parts that challenge you. You may have to be patient and open your mind a bit. But you will be shown a different way to practise and think about law. And there are examples of lawyers practising differently to inspire you. And when you finish it, if you'd like you can reach out to me via Awakening Lawyers and I can support you in creating a beautiful life in the law, and I can see who else might be a useful mentor to you, depending on your circumstances.
