Unlock your fear code and unleash the power of your authentic, resilient self for a life of deepened connection and alignment, self-assuredness, heightened wellbeing, and newfound courage to face life as it comes.
What is your fear signature?
Discovering exactly what triggers fear to unfold and ripple throughout your body can actually take the charge out of fear entirely... and many of the everyday challenges that diminish your self-worth and wellbeing, impede your productivity, and sabotage how confidently you’re able to open yourself up to new possibilities.
In this way, befriending fear can actually be the key to unlocking your fullest potential, and the deepest hopes and desires you have for your life.
As body-intelligence pioneer and author Katie Hendricks, PhD teaches, learning how to engage with your fears will not only lead you down a path of profound self-discovery, but also elevate your health and empower you with the courage to live life on your own terms.
Fear forces you to withdraw from contact and connection, a fundamental human need. Releasing fear dismantles the barriers that stand between you and others, as well as your freedom, joy, and overall aliveness so that your authentic essence can once again flourish...
... refilling your energy reservoir and renewing your intuition and ability to trust yourself, while making it significantly easier to connect, collaborate, and solve personal challenges.
During this 7-module journey with Katie for unlocking your fear code and reclaiming your authentic self, you’ll discover the fear signature that is buried within your body’s unique fight-flight-freeze-faint response... and learn how to disarm the power it holds over you through simple techniques that combine spiritual psychology with gentle mind-body practices to melt the fear away.
Katie has been helping others reclaim their aliveness, resilience, and authentic selves for more than 50 years. Using her science-backed practices, which also include Fear Melters® and F.A.C.T., a practice for reclaiming your personal power in any moment, you’ll begin to recognize and transform the fears that plague you in a safe and curiosity-building way... shifting from a self-protection mindset to one of growth and possibility.
You’ll also gain a deeper understanding of how holding tight to habitual thoughts, emotions, belief systems, and other remnants of the past become fast and furious triggers that flood your body with excessive, health-depleting adrenaline and cortisol — and keep you trapped in cycles of defense and reactivity rather than thriving from a healthy, responsive state of being.
As Katie will show you, fear is just a conversation between you and your past. The more you befriend your fears and neutralize them, the more clarity you’ll have in all facets of your life, and the easier it will be to live from a place of sustained health, fulfillment, and groundedness.
With time and practice, you’ll know exactly what to do to bring yourself back into a balanced state of being and inner alignment when you’re confronted with fear, transmuting these unwanted energies into a heightened sense of being that empowers and enlivens you on every level.
As modern science has revealed, the assumption that fear is just a natural part of life is misguided. The truth is that anything that takes you away from your natural joyous state, your sense of self-sovereignty, and your ability to feel confident, connected, and centered in your truth is about as unnatural as you can get.
You were born to thrive, not just survive! And with Katie’s guidance, you’ll discover how to melt away fear and its pervasive offshoots... permanently.
As an added bonus, you’ll also experience a special session with Nicole Taylor, Ayurvedic health counselor and author of A Joyful Pause, on how to welcome wholeness with Fear Melters.

Course Sessions Mondays at 4:00pm Pacific
This course will feature LIVE teachings, interactive training sessions, experiential practices, and Q&A with Katie. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to unlock your fear code to melt away fear and its pervasive offshoots... permanently.
Module 1: The Importance of Befriending Fear (November 1)
The enemy is fear. We think that it’s hate, but it’s fear.
— Gandhi
Fear keeps you from being able to discern your path and follow your joy.
It’s common to become totally irrational when you’re scared. In part, because the prefrontal thinking brain is offline and your fight-flight-freeze-faint response takes over... and floods your body with excessive, health-depleting adrenaline and cortisol.
In this opening week with Katie, you’ll discover how fear is special among emotions and can actually be leveraged to deepen your self-awareness and open you to the untapped potential within you and your life.
As Katie will show you, fear doesn’t go away like tears when you cry during frightening or sad moments. It continues to fester and build momentum until you face it fully and learn to befriend this powerful energy.
During the opening week of class, you’ll discover:
- The benefits of befriending fear — including how it can make you safer and smarter
- Why you can’t and wouldn’t want to fuel yourself forever with adrenaline
- What fear feels and looks like for you and how to begin melting it into the fuel you need on all levels of your being
- Why trying to control or get rid of fear makes it bigger
- An experiential practice that introduces you to the 4 types of fear and Fear Melters
Module 2: Discovering Your Fear Signature (November 8)
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, “I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.” You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
— Eleanor Roosevelt
By discovering what triggers your fear, you can shift more easily into the present moment and settle into a sense of balance and readiness to respond to life... rather than igniting fear-based patterns of reactivity, separation, and distrust.
This week, Katie will share the research that confirms that the quickest way to change your mind is to change your body. As you begin to unravel your fear signature, you’ll get access to more of your whole-body brain to experience more aliveness... and expand your way of thinking using the power of movement and breath.
This second week, you’ll:
- Discover your hidden fear signals — and the times and places they show up in your life and body
- Customize your Fear Melters for home and work
- Learn how to use your entire body when making decisions to deepen your intuition and confidence
- Explore how to generate a felt sense of space, flow, and ease to neutralize contraction, protection, and disconnection
Module 3: Fast Aid for 4 Kinds of Fear (November 15)
Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.
— Les Brown
If you’re like most, you’ve likely rehashed many conflicts or challenges in your mind where you thought, “I wish I would have said this,” or “I would have done that differently.”
In all likelihood, your fight-flight-freeze-faint response was in charge in those moments... and when fear is in control, the real you is not.
This week, Katie will share a range of common fear interchanges that occur — whether in work, relationships, home, or just everyday social exchanges — and teach you how you can melt fear in the moment to make the most effective and timely choices.
During the third week of class, you’ll explore:
- The continuum of fight-flight-freeze-faint reactions to become adept at exiting fear-based patterns and standing in your authenticity in any circumstance
- How to use Mini-Melters to generate a daily energy pump that runs on ease and flow rather than speed and control
- Common fear interactions and how to melt fear in the moment to self-regulate your wellbeing
- How collaboration and co-regulation can be grounded in the Fear Melters
Module 4: Transforming Fear With F.A.C.T. (November 29)
There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.
— John Lennon
The patterns of the past and the chronic fear they inspire have been the fuel source for so many people and institutions for years.
During this immersive fourth session, you’ll discover F.A.C.T., a step-by-step process for meeting and befriending fear to decrease the physical, emotional, and relational stressors of the past.
F.A.C.T. is a powerful experiential process that will effectively allow you to release the past and the patterns that have prevented your full effectiveness.
It has a proven record in personal, relational and work settings, and will be supported with both handouts and video support.
Katie will also share how to fold the fears of the past into a powerful transformation practice that you can take into every aspect of your life where you want to feel empowered.
This week, you’ll discover:
- How to befriend fear to decrease physical, emotional, and relational stress — and take the charge out of the mental and emotional triggers of the past
- A transformative practice called F.A.C.T. — facing, accepting, choosing, and taking action — for reclaiming your personal power in any moment
Special Bonus Session With Nicole Taylor! Welcoming Wholeness With Fear Melters (December 6)
How do we move from fear to presence in the face of seeing important issues differently? It starts within.
By tapping into the body’s wisdom to understand our response to fear, we can begin the inner work of welcoming wholeness by embracing the diverse parts of ourselves.
During this in-depth special session with Nicole Taylor, Ayurvedic health counselor and author of A Joyful Pause, you’ll discover that inner work is the foundation for being able to be responsive rather than reactive when we disagree with someone.
Being responsive allows us to see the wholeness of another, and in that body-mind shift, we can access common ground.
In this immersive session, you’ll discover:
- How to get unstuck from the fear trance in real time
- How to use Fear Melters to move from conflict to collaboration
Module 5: Rewiring Your Nervous System With Fear Melters (December 13)
Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.
— Babe Ruth
This week is all about instilling a sense of balance through self-regulation so that you can begin to enjoy engaging in life free of fear most of the time.
Katie will teach you three gentle mind-body practices that you can combine with Fear Melters to enjoy enhanced connection... and to help you think and plan effectively.
Each practice has a corresponding video to help you fully integrate the skill.
During this fifth week of class, you’ll combine Fear Melters with:
- The Centering Breath, the quickest way to shift emotional states
- Appreciation as your default operating system, rather than blame and criticism
- The Essence Pace to expand effectiveness and timing by releasing your “speed addiction” and aligning with your unique embodied pace
- Loop of Awareness to refresh the ways you use the central nutrient of giving and receiving attention
Module 6: Applications to Home, Work & Relationships (January 3)
Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.
— Bertrand Russell
This week, you’ll delve ever deeper into the applications of Fear Melters, F.A.C.T., and restorative mind-body practices to discover how they can work for you and your goals.
You’ll do so by using the Openness to Discovery Scale, which combines Fear Melters, specially-honed questions, and your current dreams and decisions to help you gain confidence in being open to the feedback of others... a foundational element of success.
This week, you’ll explore:
- How to harness the power of living in your authentic essence, or who you are at your core
- How to open to discovery, new choices, and learning — while having a good time
- How applying your discoveries shifts your life, partnerships, and work
- How to assess and release fear contractions and defensiveness
Module 7: Generating a Post-Fear World (January 10)
Fear is a fossil fuel.
— Dr. Katie Hendricks
During this final week, you’ll create a menu of practices to transition from fear-based patterns and the adrenaline surge they inspire to other sustainable fuel sources such as presence, connection, and collaboration.
Katie will show you how to generate personal, ongoing habits that draw on the new possibilities that foster curiosity and collaboration.
During the last week of class, you’ll:
- Discover more applications of class materials and how they can be used to create positive home, work, and relationship connections and experiences
- Track and continue rewiring your entire body for joy and renewal
- Learn how to use a unique smartphone app that replaces the fossil fuel of fear with revitalized, authentic living

“Each time I learn something new as Katie invents new ways to invite the growth of a nervous system that can handle more and more positive energy.”
I have attended at least five Evolutionary Playgrounds! I love it so much, I keep coming back. Each time I learn something new as Katie invents new ways to invite the growth of a nervous system that can handle more and more positive energy. At the last EP I attended, I discovered I had been fainting through life. I knew that I had a tendency to run when I was scared. And discovering that I energetically faint when I am scared has given me a sense of waking up. Since then, I have been more active in my community and in my life!

More Praise for Katie Hendricks...
“Kathlyn Hendricks shows us how to connect with our inner intelligence and discover the secrets to healing, love, intuition, and insight.”
The inner intelligence of the body is the ultimate and supreme genius. Kathlyn Hendricks shows us how to connect with our inner intelligence and discover the secrets to healing, love, intuition, and insight.
— Deepak Chopra, MD
“Her trainings are powerful, transformative events...”
Kathlyn Hendricks teaches an integrated approach to living our spirituality in every moment of our lives — in our relationships, our work, our creativity, our play. Her trainings are powerful, transformative events in which the encrusted behaviors and attitudes of a lifetime are dynamited apart with integrity and love. Not only is she a master therapist and teacher, she is a beautiful, big-hearted being who walks her talk. I recommend her work wholeheartedly.
— Stephan Bodian, psychotherapist, writer, former editor of Yoga Journal, and author of Timeless Vision, Healing Voices
“I cannot recommend this [work] with Kathlyn Hendricks highly enough.”
If you are in an intimate relationship, regardless of whether it’s awesome or maybe could use a little TLC, I cannot recommend this [work] with Kathlyn Hendricks highly enough. It really is possible to completely eliminate blame, criticism, and bickering from your relationship.
— Becky Margiotta, co-founder and president of Billions Institute, LLC
“This foundational integration of play is a game-changer for me as a facilitator, a therapist, a minister, and a coach.”
Evolutionary Playground is a 3-day spectacular embodiment of deep play and lively connections. I thoroughly enjoyed it and have returned many times for the life-changing reminders. Personally, I had held for many years the value of play. I had not discovered a way to integrate play when dealing with “serious” issues. I often judged myself that I was discounting the level of severity of the other. Through the wonder of this playground, I have radically changed my perspective. I have experienced that play loosens the grip and expands the energetic density of any issue in a manner that invites movement and thus changes. This foundational integration of play is a game-changer for me as a facilitator, a therapist, a minister, and a coach.
— Rev. Dr. Dee Cooper
“I’m more vital, alive, youthful, happy, and available for possibilities and new realities than ever before.”
Evolutionary Playgrounds is the place to be and return to over and over again... if your interest is to transform your life and relationships while creating a really good time. I always thought that life change had to be hard, and during my first training (I’ve returned many times), I laughed more in one weekend than I probably had in years. Discovery and transformation through play is evolutionary in and of itself — and as a physiologist, it’s also the genuinely biological way that works for sustainable growth. I’m more vital, alive, youthful, happy and available for possibilities and new realities than ever before.
— Audrey Hazekamp, integrative master coach
