info_outlineHosted by Rosemary Davies-Janes. Produced by J’aime Rothbard.
In this inspiring conversation, 1Dréa (formerly known as Dr Andrea Pennington) shares her journey to loving and accepting herself unconditionally. She also highlights the role of community support during transformation, and encourages us to connect with others and both offer and accept their support.
She suggests that the systemic failures we’re witnessing, as part of the prevalent societal turmoil, are precursors to a collective awakening to our interconnectedness and shared spiritual consciousness. In turn, this is initiating collective healing through our individual opening to our own authenticity.
1Dréa shares her Cornerstone ProcessTM for personal transformation, originally created to support outpatients in a binge eating disorder program, and subsequently used in psychedelic assisted therapy. Its five-steps include: 1. Awareness of your true self. 2. Accepting your past experiences without blame. 3.Taking responsibility for your own life and choices moving forward. 4. Creating your life based on inspiration rather than obligation. 5. Cultivating gratitude and awareness of the positive aspects of life.
The interview concludes with a quick overview of 1Dréa’s upcoming initiatives; her newly released book, From Dark Night to Dawn: A Guide for Transformation with The Cornerstone ProcessTM, a related program that supports participants in transitioning from their own dark night of the ego to the dawn of the soul, a music project that fosters hope and resilience, and Soul Sense Alchemy, which invites people to change their frequency through the power of scent and sound.
