About Us
Brave Heart Collective is a resource hub and membership organization that address well-being gaps at the individual, organizational, community level. We branch specialize in embodiment education, emotional intelligence training, and experiential learning in support of sustained wellbeing, collective liberation, and brave leadership.
We exist for leaders and organizations who are ready to live aligned their values and lead from the heart. Whether you come for a solitude retreat at Hawk Hope, a private coaching session, or receive a gift box as a monthly member, you are stepping into a practice of nourishing your inherent dignity: the real you.
We believe that when leaders are well-nourished and resourced, they can take brave and meaningful action that has the capacity to change everything.
Our Philosophy
Values that guide us
Body Wisdom + Rest
We return to what the body and the land already know. Healing isn't something to achieve; it's something to remember. We teach sustainable practices rooted in nature, ancestral wisdom, and the rhythms of the earth.
Collective Liberation
We rise together or not at all. Liberation is not a solo pursuit; it's a return to community, connectedness, and the understanding that we support one another. When one person is well-resourced, the collective is stronger.
Safe Sanctuary
Real change requires safety. We create spaces - in nature, in the nervous system, in community - where people can soften, listen, and be held. Sanctuary is a place and also a practice.
Who We Work With:
→ Executive-level professionals interested in emotional intelligence and wellbeing
→ Organizations struggling with social cohesion + belonging that are seeking to invest in psychological safety, somatic emotional intelligence,
→ Individuals facing burnout, life transitions, and in pursuit of new ways of repatterning the body-mind
Meet Our Founder
My name is Auri, and firstly, I’m honored to have your attention.
I’m a facilitator, certified emotional intelligence instructor, nervous system healing practitioner, and curriculum developer.
A core belief that guides my work is that everyone can benefit from deeper awareness—of the body, the mind, and what lies beyond.
Over the years, I’ve had the joy of teaching and facilitating programs and hosting retreats all over the world. I am focused on helping people repattern their bodies and midns to support aligned living. I’ve partnered with nonprofits, government agencies, socially responsible companies, community organizations, schools, and individuals of all ages, identities, abilities, and mental states.
In my teaching and coaching, I draw on a range of modalities and techniques to support people along their leadership journeys, especially as they work through mental distortions, blind spots, and biases that may limit their impact or well-being.
I am also a reiki practitioner with additional training in massage therapy, yoga for adolescents, compassionate leadership.
My offerings integrate neuroscience-based generative somatics, breathing practices, mindful movement, and guided meditation to support sustainable change from the inside out.
At Brave Heart Collective, our work focuses on three key intentions:
(1) Igniting sustainable creative impact through emotional intelligence, somatic movement and nervous system care,
(2) Cultivating resilience and awareness through deep reflection and authentic storytelling
(3) Supporting leaders & communities reconnect with their dignity and capacity to act bravely through online and in-person immersive retreats & programs designed to educate, inspire, and empower.
