Here at Growing Humankindness we offer three home study courses that you can take at any time. These courses offer support for key areas of struggle with sugar and food.
Our home study courses are hosted on the Growing Humankindness Mighty Network, a beautifully cultivated, private, ad free space where you have unlimited online access.
Align: Heal the Battle with Your Inner Rebel
Align is for you if you reactively push against help and support and get stuck in feelings of resistance – “No, you can’t make me!” – when you try to make positive changes with food and other areas of your life.
In this course, you’ll learn how to soften the inner conflict between the part of you that wants to change and the part of you that pushes back. Defusing this conflict will help you follow through on the changes you want to make, set healthy limits, and express a greater sense of power and agency in your life. Align is $200 USD.
Emerge – Create a New Habit
If you overuse sugar for stress relief, to care for your emotions, or to self regulate, this course will help you change your eating habits with gentleness and insight. You’ll receive daily emotional support and learn how to apply self compassion to the process of habit change, so you can create more nourishing self talk and build resilience, that internal sense of, “I trust myself to move through this.”
This course is our most popular and has been taken by thousands from around the world since 2012. *Note – this course used to be called The 30 Day Lift. It was renamed and revised in 2019 as Emerge: Create a New Habit.
Emerge is $200 USD.
When Food Is Your Mother
We tend to think of overeating or binge eating as a ‘bad habit.’ But relational neuroscience has helped us understand that our addictions – including food addictions – are emotional bonds – places of safety, warmth and ‘holding’ that we turn to when we’re overwhelmed by pain, alarm, or distress.
In moments of overwhelm, this emotional bond with food – and the needs that drive it – can override other needs, such as a need for health or nurturing limits. In When Food is Your Mother, you’ll learn more about this new understanding of addiction and ways you can nurture the healing process.
When Food is Your Mother is $250 USD.
Where do I begin?
If you’re not sure where to start, or you want to take all three classes, we encourage folks to start with When Food is Your Mother as it covers our core understanding and approach to food compulsions.
Then Emerge can step in to support you when you’re in the nitty gritty of attempting to make changes. And Align can step in to support you when you encounter a lot of strong resistance when you try to make healthy changes.
The home study bundle
If you’re interested in all 3 home study courses, we offer a home study bundle for $350 USD or two monthly payments of $175, a savings of $300 (if you buy the courses separately, they’re $650 USD.)
You can purchase the home study bundle for 1 payment of $350 here.
Go here to buy the home study bundle for 2 monthly payments of $175 USD.
What if I want more help?
Sometimes, you take a home study course and recognize that you need more support – that it’d be helpful to have a place to ask questions, get support, or connect with others.
If this sounds like you, you may be interested in joining The Growinghumankindness community.
The difference between a home study course and the community is the level of support. In the community, you have access to our entire library of courses. You can also attend bimonthly webinars where you can ask questions, practice exercises together, and get support. You can pair up with a Listening Partner for regular emotional support.
And if you struggle to follow through on courses on your own, in the community, we go through courses together as a cohort throughout the year.
The community opens twice a year for new members.
What if I take a course and it isn’t the right fit for me?
For home study courses, you may ask for and receive a full refund for any reason within the first 7 days of your purchase. If you’re on a payment plan, the 7 day window begins on the day of the first payment.
To request a refund, please email us or call us at 888-297-7076.
