UNCONDITIONAL: THE PRACTICES

Cover of Unconditional: Mental Health Redefined by Mara J. James

You're in. Begin wherever you are.

Nine modules. Twenty practices. No fixed schedule. Each module includes guided videos and a printable workbook to journal alongside the work.

A NOTE BEFORE YOU BEGIN

There is no right order. The modules build on each other if you take them in sequence, but each one stands alone. Download the workbook for any module before you start — and move at your own pace. This work asks for presence, not pace.
