Everything you need to know about your new role as a student in The School of Bravery: best practices, how to navigate your student library, get support, FAQ and more!

Every bravery student gets a Bravery Boost (aka Welcome Call) with our founder Emily Ann Peterson! This is perfect to get yourself acquainted with The School of Bravery, set your initial 30/60/90 day goals, and ask any pressing questions you might have regarding your next feat or season of bravery. 

Our online community forum is where all the action happens! Weekly Office Hours, bravery brags, event RSVP's, community discussion and so so so much more! We use the Slack app for this so you won't get distracted by social media and remain in full control of your notifications. Our Slack group is accessible via a desktop browser or mobile app. Jump on in!

Check out the upcoming calendar of events for The School of Bravery! Every month we host online masterclasses, group coaching, accountability meetups, creative classes, virtual hangouts, and so much more! If you're a currently enrolled student, this is the spot with access to our Zoom link!

Bravery is not a "spectator sport." Masterclasses taught by Emily Ann Peterson are an excellent way for our students enrolled at the CORE and VIP levels to receive new skills, communal support, and "hot seat" group coaching. These live events are centered around our monthly bravery ingredient and hosted online via Zoom. Questions can be submitted in advance via Office Hours in our Slack group. Masterclass replays are uploaded shortly after each event for those who cannot attend live.

A fresh batch of masterclass replays from our archives is also released every 30 days. Students are encouraged to use these as a refresher, bravery building material, or a binge-worthy deep dive into new layers of courage. 

Masterclasses occur monthly on the 2nd Tuesday at 1 pm Central and 4th Sunday at 12noon Central (UTC-5).

Office Hours are your opportunity to get the weekly 1:1 support you need for your bravery. Some of our students use these office hours to ping career, business, or marketing questions off of me. Some use this time to discover answers to their relational or creative bravery. Some students even use this time to share exciting strides of bravery and celebrate the high moments! This time is for you, use it wisely!

Bravery is meeting yourself in the silence. Each month, guest faculty member, Kate Fontana provides us with a monthly meditation audio for our bravery ingredient of the month. 

Kate Fontana is dedicated to the beauty and mess of community building, justice, love, and spiritual & personal growth for all.  She is the founder of The Sanctuary Northwest and is a Master's of Divinity candidate at the Seattle School of Theology & Psychology. She is deeply informed by Catholic social teaching; interspirituality; rhythms of liturgy, bodies, and nature; Sacred Feminine traditions of Christianity and Yoga; an unexpected friendship with Jesus; and a theological blend of Harry Potter, the Bhagavad Gita, Battlestar Galactica, and the Gospels. 

New meditation audios are available automagically on the 1st of every month!

Bravery is a physical experience. Our CORE and VIP students receive a monthly yoga class recording from Ashton Szabo to practice embodying courage in new physical ways!

Guest faculty member, Ashton Szabo is a yoga teacher trainer, body movement expert, and perpetual student of all things spiritual. Heavily influenced by teachers like Douglas Brooks, Joseph Campbell, and Alan Watts, Ashton brings universality to his teachings that extend beyond just the realms of yoga. His concern is for the opening expansion and well-being of his students (aka bravery!) Ashton strives to help each student find what is useful for them in realizing their fullest potential.

New class audios are available automagically on the 1st of every month!

Bravery is using the blank page. Join your fellow students and Emily Ann Peterson to dive into writing prompts provided by guest faculty, Janet Haney (author of Write Your Way Through Change) We explore each month's bravery ingredient together via Zoom with the empty page, pen, and a few prompts!

This is not your typical "dear diary" writing class. We don't care what you had for lunch, but we do care that you're using ALL the resources available to you to make your bravery as easy as possible! This includes creative writing! You'll walk away empowered to immediately apply a brave, fresh perspective to your own life, career, creativity.

We meet monthly on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7 pm Central (UTC-5).

Some students enrolled in The School of Bravery pay for monthly or weekly 1:1 bravery coaching with our founder Emily Ann Peterson! These sessions are perfect if you're seeking regular support or preparing for a product launch, large campaign, or really overwhelming season of bravery. Get 1-on-1 attention, a new perspective, and roll up your sleeves to help your feats of bravery feel like a total breeze! 

Not sure how to "fix" your website? Let's schedule a website audit! You'll discuss the perfect home page strategy for you, which kind of About page is best, and all the quick changes that get epic results from your buttons and copywriting. After a 45-minute video chat with our founder, Emily Ann Peterson, you'll walk away with simple tweaks and small fixes to your website that will empower your self-promotion bravery to feel easier! 

We believe every person has a story of bravery. Should yours be a book too? Self-publishing is the single most effective way for you to get your book *out there* for the world to see. Every author's book project is very different, but it is entirely possible for you to go from a thought bubble to a self-published Amazon bestseller in 90 days or less. 

Turn blank pages to blueprints, and main ideas into manuscripts, then take that manuscript to market with a level-headed launch! Working with Emily Ann begins with six 1-hr sessions to nail down your book summary, ideal audience, outline, title, overall strategy, and next steps. If you've always wanted to write a book or your creative muse gifted you with the beginnings of one, then let's talk!

Bravery is ending systemic racism. Our monthly book circle exists to: hold each other accountable to the work of anti-racism,  listen to our unique perspectives, and change racism starting from within ourselves first. 

Our next books: This month, we'll be finishing up reading Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent by Isabel Wilkerson (nonfiction, super good!) AND for those of you in need of something different, you can read The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett (fiction)

We meet monthly on the 3rd Thursdays at 10 am Central & 7 pm Central (UTC-5).

Are you overwhelmed, overworked, and a little frazzled? Maybe you know you're on the highway to burnout or been there awhile? Then you're invited to join fellow bravery students to learn how to rest, recoup, and reignite your zeal and endurance! The most sustainable way to bravely making this world a better place begins from a place of comradery and rest.

Using concepts from Emily Ann Peterson's Bare Naked Bravery, students of The School of Bravery will be discussing and reading through books, articles, and other media pieces to nourish, guide, and rejuvenate our brave resistance to a world that demands more from us every day. We do this so we can be laser-focused on the issues that need our full attention and creative passions.

We meet weekly on Wednesdays at 7 pm Central. Meeting replays are available to those who cannot attend live. Ongoing support and discussion are available in the dedicated channel in The School of Bravery's Slack group.

We meet monthly on the 3rd Tuesdays at 7 pm Central. Meeting replays are available to those who cannot attend live. Ongoing support and discussion are available in the dedicated channel in The School of Bravery's Slack group.
