You School: Transformative Tools for Self-Leadership
A 9-Month Curriculum in Knowing Yourself More Deeply
Hosted by Odessa Healing Center and Galia Collaborative
You've built a life, but have you truly met yourself?
Many of us arrive at a season where the roles, responsibilities, and rhythms we’ve carried for years begin to feel… less defining. We look around at careers we’ve grown, families we love, the homes or communities we’ve built—and still sense something unsettled, something unnamed.
A quiet wondering may emerge:
Who am I under all of this?
What do I actually want?
How does my mind really work?
Where did I lose myself along the way?
You School is an invitation to pause, turn toward yourself with curiosity, and become a devoted student of your own inner world in a way that’s evidence-informed, fluff-free, and aligned with your own pace and values.
This program is designed especially for women who are thoughtful, growth-oriented, and may be used to navigating life through their minds — yet are increasingly aware that insight alone isn’t enough.
You School is a place for the overthinkers and high-capacity humans who sense something deeper calling but don’t quite know how to access it.
Why You School?
Because knowing yourself isn’t luck or a single insight—it’s a skill you can cultivate.
It’s fundamental for leading, loving, and living with steadiness and intention.
The traditions that inform this work—psychology, contemplative practices, neuroscience, and wisdom teachings—share a core belief:
As we expand our capacity to be with ourselves, we expand our capacity to be with the world, to meet it as it is,
This program helps you cultivate that grounded inner core. Not through force. Not through perfection. But through steady, supported practice.
This Program Is for You If…
- You’re in a life transition and feel unsure who you are becoming.
- You sense a change you want to make (or a pattern you want to break), but you feel stuck in loops.
- You intellectually understand things about yourself but can’t seem to shift them.
- You’re a leader at work or home and you know your own grounding matters.
- You want practices that help you feel more in your body without requiring you to become a different kind of person.
- You’ve noticed familiar dynamics repeating—in relationships, work, communication—and you want a new way in.
- You’ve been doing work on your own but feel like something is missing or plateauing.
What We’ll Explore
This program weaves together the tools and practices that have shaped years of practice with individuals and organizations.
You’ll learn and experiment with concepts drawn from:
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Attachment Theory
- Mindful Self-Compassion
- Pema Chödrön Meditation
- Neuroscience of attention, identity, and consciousness
- Narrative reshaping and the psychology of meaning-making
While this isn’t therapy, you can experience these practices as unlocking and clarifying.

Growth takes time.
Identity takes time.
And community takes time.
Nine months gives you space to learn, practice, forget, return, integrate, and build something sustainable.
This pacing can allow this work to take root.
