The Ground Floor: Where the Work Begins
A live Foundations class with Melissa Ratliff-Sorrell, LCSW, NBCFCH
Saturday, December 5 · Live Online · 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM Central Time
The only time this class will be taught live.
Required before The Shadow Intensive and The Energy Intensive.
This is the class that explains why your last breakthrough didn't stick.
You know the weekend. The one that changed everything... for about three weeks. Then it faded. And somewhere in the fading, you quietly decided something was wrong with you.
Nothing was wrong with you.
You visited a floor you hadn't built to yet.
THE BUILDING
Most growth is horizontal. More skills, better strategies, a new system for managing the same life. You get more capable on the floor you're already on.
This work is vertical. You don't get better at the floor you're on. You leave it.
The basement is fear and reactivity. There are no windows down there, so there's no perspective. Which is why most people experience the basement as their personality. (I'm just an anxious person. I've always had a temper.)
That is not who you are. That is where you are standing.
The ground floor is street level. The first floor with windows. It's where recognition starts, and with it, choice.
And the penthouse? Soul consciousness. Sovereign authority.
You can't skip floors. A peak experience is a visit, and you can't live on a floor you only visited. You can't build a penthouse on a cracked foundation.
WHY IT COMES FIRST
The Ground Floor sits under everything else I teach. The Soul Work Intensives. The Work. The retreats. Every room in the building stands on this one.
That's why it's now required before The Shadow Intensive and The Energy Intensive.
WHAT THE DAY COVERS
- The three layers of self (Ego, Soul, Personality) and where each lives in the body
- What gets stored, and the seven core emotions underneath it
- Shock and the nervous system
- The chakra system, as a basic working map of energy
- The Codependency Triangle and how to free yourself from it
- Projection cleared through guided hypnotherapy, all the way to the child underneath
- The Anchor, your cornerstone, built and installed
The afternoon process is experiential.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Leaders, not of title, but of nature. The ones other people bring things to.
New to this work? Start where it actually starts.
Done a great deal of it, and suspect something underneath never got laid? You're right. This is that.
No diagnosis, spiritual background, or hypnotherapy experience needed. What you need is a willingness to feel something.
This isn't for someone who wants techniques without contact, or wants to understand the material without moving it. And if you're in acute crisis, individual care comes first.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Before the day: two recorded chapters, in the two weeks before class. The Building and Shock and the Nervous System. I'll email you when each one is up.
The day: six teaching hours, live.
After: five more chapters, plus the recording of the day. Together, the complete Ground Floor.
30 days in The Circle, starting Monday, December 7, including our January 5 group coaching call. Already a Circle member? I'll move your next payment back 30 days instead.
A $111 credit toward one Soul Work Intensive. One use. The code is emailed when you enroll, and it's good through March 5, 2027. It can't be combined with any other rate, including the Penthouse member rate. On a payment plan, it comes off your first payment.
