THE BOOK
Available Now!

We come into this world naked, innocent, the very essence of love. Granted a brief amount of time to revel in and enjoy this state, it isn’t long before we are being groomed to fit in and play by the rules. Suddenly, societal expectations have us looking outside of ourselves for validation, acceptance, and love. And with all the judgment and modeling to which we are exposed, it isn’t long before we don a social mask. Now, we move around inside of our lives bumping up against other social masks, and the ability to experience a true, deep, honest connection with ourselves and others is all but lost.


This is a book about breaking free of the social conditioning, becoming comfortable in our own skins, liberated from the need to ask for permission to be ourselves. This is a book about complete and total self acceptance, and living without guilt or the need to apologize for who we are.


ERICA BOUCHER (Boo-Shay) BA, RYT, LMT, CHt

Showing Up Naked (SUN) is about living so authentically, it’s like showing up naked. It’s the product of a 12-year journey through Erica’s work with the homeless, abused and addicted, and her training in yoga, massage and hypnotherapy. Along the way there were some startling realizations, as she started to make the connection between the deep-seated beliefs we hold in our minds, the memories we store in our bodies, and the quality of our lives.

Showing Up Naked

Peeling Away the Layers to Your Authentic Self

Just a Few Recent Testimonials on the Showing Up Naked Coaching Program:


“Awesome stuff Erica.  You have helped me a lot and... I loved the call and took 3 pages of notes. I am preparing to open part 2 of your book and have done some journaling...learning now to be true to myself...without that its pointless!”      


“It just keeps building... each chapter building on the previous ones. Every week I think ‘this is my chapter.‘  It just keeps getting better.”


“I became in touch with a feeling I have been carrying around for years.  This awareness is amazing and life changing.  I feel empowered to make changes in my life.  I am so grateful for this experience.”


‘This program has been life changing for me.”


“It changed my life!”


“Awesome stuff Erica.  You have helped me a lot and... I’m learning now to be true to myself...”


“There is so much here...breaking it down and supporting the process...  I don’t think I could have gotten it without the interactive support.  Wow!”


“You’ve completely changed the way I view the world.”


“"I feel as solid as a rock in my acceptance & understanding of myself. Almost 30 years of counseling, self improvement books & seminars didn't prove to be 1/2 as powerful as this experience. There is no question the realizations that came to me through this will be there to strengthen me for the rest of my life."

Showing Up Naked
WEEKEND WORKSHOP SERIES

Join Erica for three powerful weekends that will change your life.  Based on the book, Showing Up Naked, these highly experiential weekends will take you through a transformational process of peeling away the layers to your deepest, truest, most authentic self.  Experience Empath Yoga, discussions, breakout sessions, meditations, experiential exercises and more.  You will enjoy an openness and connection that is unlike anything most can get close to in their daily lives, and from that point forward it will become the only way you will want to live. 


Weekends                                           Weekend Schedule

July 13 - July 15                                Friday Evenings 6 - 9

July 27 - July 29                                Saturday & Sunday

August 31 - September 2                 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.

@ Serenity Now Yoga in Longwood


This is a comprehensive, expanding, heart-opening program based on a 12-chapter book that focuses on three key areas:  


WAKING UP                                                     July 13 - July 15            

Here we begin to sift through the confusion as we explore who we are without all of the social conditioning and expectations of others, consider the concept of a Universal One Mind, and let go of outdated beliefs so we can step into a new paradigm of thought.  This is a necessary shift in our thinking we must embrace if we are going to survive as a species. In this retreat, we look at three of the greatest errors in perception that affect our lives on a deep subconscious level, and perhaps the two most important questions of our lives:  Who Am I?  and Why Am I Here? 


EMOTIONAL EMPOWERMENT               July 27 - 29

These are scary times.  Many are so afraid of the emotions churning beneath the surface, numbing out seems like the most intelligent thing to do. Obesity, alcoholism, insomnia, anxiety and depression are at an all time high.  Living this way take us out of the flow of life, requiring us to push against it, rather than flexing and moving with it.  True emotional empowerment requires being grounded and centered in your Self, so you know how to hold yourself in relationship to the world around you.  Will you square your shoulders and brace yourself as you move headlong into the wind?  Or will you relax back into your center and feel your way into life, respecting each gentle breeze as you learn to dance with the beautiful subtle energies of life? Here we learn how to gather energy and strength from our emotions, rather than being overwhelmed by them. 


BEING IN RELATIONSHIP                    Aug. 31 -  Sept. 2

You can always assess the quality of your life by the quality of your relationships.  Here we learn the skills we were never taught before about what it means to be in relationship to the world around us. Become a better listener – to yourself, to others, to life.  Remove the blinders that limit your perception.  Learn to become defenseless, and therefore stronger than ever before. Speak your truth, and live a FULLY EXPRESSED LIFE.


Cost per weekend: $375; or $1,000 for all three paid in advance.    


*There are a limited number of spaces available at this location, so pre-registration is required.  Bring a journal notebook and a yoga mat. 


Contact Erica to register.



**For those interested in getting certified in Empath Yoga, completion of this workshop series, gets you half way there.

Showing Up Naked
A 12-WEEK TELECOURSE

Now from the comfort of home (and from anywhere in the world), participants can take part in this 12-week personal empowerment program.  Each week you will read a chapter from Erica’s book, Showing Up Naked, then join her and a small group of others on a weekly call to explore, in much more depth, the concepts introduced.  Everyone will have an opportunity to share and ask questions.


Thursdays Evenings 6:00 - 7:00 p.m.
beginning October 25, 2012
(No call on Nov. 22nd or Dec. 27th)


For years Erica has worked with small groups because she has found it to be exponentially more powerful when the experience is shared with others on a similar journey.  Often participants find themselves facing a fear of self-disclosure, or having difficulty committing to an in-person experience due to scheduling constraints.  The weekly calls provide enough anonymity to allow for even more open sharing and discussion, and make it available to those that would not otherwise be able to make it. 


Cost: $395 Space is limited.  Pre-registration is required.
