The Poisoned Arrow

We all carry fear — not just in our thoughts, but in the choices we make, the relationships we stay in, and the roles we learn to perform. Often, we don’t recognize it as fear. It shows up as responsibility, as people-pleasing, as the stories we tell ourselves to make discomfort feel like control.

In The Poisoned Arrow, Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. invites us to see fear for what it really is: a learned response, a survival strategy, and a story we didn’t write — but have been living by for far too long.

And in this live, one-time class, he’ll guide you through the process of removing that fear — not by force, but by clarity.

What you’ll explore in this session:

• How psychological fear hides inside your most “reasonable” decisions — and why recognizing it is the first step toward freedom
• The Toltec practice of stalking the mind — how to witness fear-based thoughts without collapsing into them
• How inherited beliefs shape your inner dialogue — and how to tell which voice in your head is actually you
• Why you don’t need to be fearless to be free — and how to make choices even when fear is still present
• What it means to remove the arrow, not just mask the pain — and why discomfort is often a sign of real healing.

Don Miguel will guide you through key teachings from The Poisoned Arrow as living practices.

You’ll learn how to recognize the shape of fear in your own life, how to name it without judgment, and how to begin loosening its grip in the moments that matter most.
