Can you be honest, open and vulnerable with a group of strangers? Share your scariest truths and deepest pains? I believe we all can, but most of us don’t for fear of judgment, shame and embarrassment. 

But I believe all of us need to overcome fear and immerse ourselves with community, and tap into the powerful healing power of being surrounded. Which is what Vanessa Cornell is doing so successfully with her NUSHU groups. 

I hope her story will inspire just one of you out there to speak your truth and share your story within community, and feel the winds of being uplifted and held by your fellow human being.

Vanessa Cornell is the founder of NUSHU, a wellness collective and community of women on spiritual journeys seeking to find their center through connection, personal growth and empowerment. Vanessa believes in the modality of showing up exactly as you are, be accepted as such, not be fixed for who you are and feel safe in that process. 

She attended Harvard University, worked at Goldman Sachs, is a mother of five and currently owns Cornell Vineyards, where she and her husband create exquisite wines. 

Join us as we explore:

Why the foundation of our self-work begins by understanding that the answers are on the inside, not on the outside, and the number one personality characteristic that can serve you on the journey of finding yourself.

How and why Vanessa founded NUSHU, what it means, what the NUSHU journey is about and why it has grown to such a powerful transformational community.

What it means to hold space for groups to heal, how to create awareness about the urge to interfere and why listening is the most needed yet lacking element in relationship.

Group work or community medicine, how the group always gives everyone what they need and why you should look for group circles if you feel you need to be held in your journey of healing.

What happens in group work, the impact of technology in group settings and why men need group work more than ever.

Are you talking the talk, wearing the costume, using the words or are you actually living your authenticity and acting with integrity?
