What if the most rebellious thing you could do right now is stay open?
Do you feel exhausted by these times? Tired of bracing?
Do you sense there's somewhere deeper to come from — but you're not sure how to get there?
These are tender and tumultuous times. But your heart can do what your mind cannot.
You don’t need to wait
The heart is one of the first things to withdraw when life gets hard. It's also the thing we need most.
And we can turn towards our hearts right now. In the thick of it.
Work stress. Deaths of loved ones. Parenting through chaos. Dishes. Desires. Inner tumult. Standing up to systems.
This is what 60 people from all walks of life reckoned with as they practised loving-kindness for three months last year.
Practicing in the grit of real life, not escaping from it.
And our findings? Rebellious.
The heart can grow in difficult moments. Not fair, not easy — but it happens.
And real transformation becomes possible when you can feel your heart.
It's Rebellious to Open Your Heart Right Now
💥It's rebellious to like yourself in a consumer culture that profits from your sense of lack.
💥It's rebellious to stay loyal to yourself, however you’re performing, whether or not you're approved of.
💥It's rebellious to pause in hot situations, where you'd usually overpower or back down.
💥It's rebellious to love where you'd usually be harsh — with yourself or another.
💥It's rebellious to ground yourself in lovability, creativity, and enoughness, in the midst of so much uprooting.
This is going against the grain. Somebody's got to do it.
What you do matters. Where you’re coming from matters. It ripples out.
Here's What You'll Learn in This Free Class with Jess:
✦ Why metta (loving-kindness) is powerful and how to practice it yourself
✦ The three parts of the heart path: self-healing, discernment, and love in action
✦ How loving kindness sharpens your discernment rather than dulling it — letting you say a clear NO in service of what you care about.
✦ Why it’s not to be confused with compliance, giving out of fear, or people-pleasing.
✦ How to bathe your cells in love instead of stress - and why we all need more of that
✦ Jess’ own story of coming back around to tenderness, to ‘reaching out’ not ‘going it alone,’ through a stark experience in the desert that changed her, and her teaching
✦ Why your heart is more reliable than a mind running on fear — and how to practise your way back to it
Your Teacher:
Jess Huon
Dharma teacher Jess Huon has been practising for 30 years and teaching for 20 — long before mindfulness was a buzzword.
Authorised in the Insight and Open Dharma traditions, informed by Tibetan teachings and long stretches of solitary forest retreat, she eventually jumped the monastery walls to include her whole self in her practice — body, feminine, lineage, land.
She teaches from what she's learned and felt: that real resilience and courage come from tenderness. That the heart can handle what the mind cannot. This is dharma for the times we're in — not a private getaway, but practice in the grit of real life.
This Class Is For You If...
You're feeling overwhelmed, concerned, or hardened by the state of the world
You sense getting more stressed or handling it alone isn't working — but you don't know what else to do
You sense the transformative power of love and you want to know it on the inside
You're curious about how meditation can support you in your own life - in work, relationships, parenting, creativity, activism
You're hungry for a deeper well of support to draw from in these tender and tumultuous times
“I am fully aware we are practising in raging seas.
And I fully stand by it.
Because I want you to belong to your own imperfect life.
To respond to yourself with kindness rather than aggression.
To have ripples of wellbeing coursing through you as you face what’s hard.”
