No Mud, No Lotus: How to Rewrite Your Story When it Falls Apart

About the event

Life doesn’t fall apart according to plan.

This session is for anyone caught in the in-between. Too far from where you were. Not quite where you want to be. Just… here. In the mess. In the mud.

In this masterclass, Ruth Cooper-Dickson offers a grounded path forward, one built not on glossy self-help slogans, but on compassion, agency, and small, brave steps.

Together, we’ll explore:

• What radical responsibility really means (hint: it’s not about blame or pretending you’re fine).
• The truth about post-traumatic growth- not a guarantee, but a possibility.
• The hidden barriers that keep us stuck – shame, fear, identity loss – and how to meet them with kindness.
• Simple tools to begin moving again, including nervous system resets, language reframes, and journal prompts that spark possibility.

You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of your own emerging story – not polished or perfect, but powerful. And maybe, just maybe, the feeling that this messy middle isn’t the end of the story…it’s the beginning of a new one where your lotus can flourish.
