Living from the Heart
A Journey Back to You
A heartfelt workshop helping you move from stuckness to self-love and authentic living.
​
Co-facilitated by Bernard Kates and Lesley Moran
About the Workshop

Lesley and I first met seven years ago on the leadership team of Achology, a global start-up founded by Kain Ramsay that taught life coaching, CBT, hypnotherapy, and business skills. Even then, we connected over one big idea — that real transformation begins with understanding yourself.
​
Today, from our homes in New South Wales, Australia and Wellington New Zealand , we’re collaborating to bring that belief to life through the Living from the Heart Workshop Series.
​
Inspired by my book "Living from the Heart," this heartfelt and practical experience helps you move from stuckness to self-acceptance, find peace in the present, and live with genuine purpose.
What You'll Experience
Recognise the Patterns Keeping you Stuck
We all fall into habits that hold us back — sometimes without realising it. You’ll learn to spot those patterns with compassion, not judgment, and begin loosening their grip on your life.
Build a Kinder Relationship with Yourself
True change starts with how you speak to yourself. This workshop helps you replace self-criticism with encouragement, acceptance, and a genuine sense of worth so you can live confidently in your own skin.
Develop Emotional Awareness and Calm
Emotions are powerful teachers when we listen to them. You’ll discover simple tools for emotional regulation and grounding — bringing more peace and clarity to daily life.
Reconnect with What Truly Matters
In the noise of everyday life, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s important. Through guided reflection, you’ll rediscover your core values and the deeper meaning that anchors you.
Through guided reflection, honest conversation, and simple wellbeing tools, you’ll learn how to:
Why It Matters
​
The HEART concept isn’t a checklist or a linear path. People move back and forth between stages, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. Its purpose is not to label, but to illuminate — to help you see where you are and what might come next.
​
Whether you are leading others, coaching clients, or reflecting on your own life, the HEART concept gives you a simple language for the process of change. It reminds us that transformation is possible — and that it begins in the heart.
Create Small, Lasting Shifts
Transformation doesn’t have to be dramatic to be effective. You’ll leave with small, practical steps that support ongoing growth and help you live with more ease and authenticity.
Live from the Heart
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have the confidence and clarity to live more intentionally — guided by self-love, grounded awareness, and a renewed sense of direction.

Join the Journey
"Living From the Heart: A Journey Back to You" isn’t just a workshop series — it’s an experience designed to help you rediscover what matters most, through reflection, conversation, and simple practices that bring more ease, self-trust, and clarity to everyday life.
