Give It Some Heart

A 4-Week Leadership Intensive in Portland

For high-capacity humans ready to lead from the body, not the burnout.


You hold a lot.

The strategy. The meetings. The vision. The clients. The family.

The emotions (yours and everyone else’s).

And maybe—quietly—you’re at capacity.

Not because you’re weak.
But because you’ve been strong for too long.

This is your reset.

An intimate, in-person circle for leaders, entrepreneurs and CEOs to come back to themselves.

Using somatic practices, nervous system unwinding, and emotional release work, we’ll help you:

  • Feel your emotions fully (without fear of falling apart)

  • Tap into embodied clarity and creative direction

  • Reclaim energy you’ve been spending holding it all together

  • Lead from your heart, not from adrenaline

The Details:

Location: Joe’s craftsman home in NE Portland (address shared after registration)

Duration: 4 weeks

Dates:

  • Thursday June 26th

This is for you if:

  • You’re an independent CEO, entrepreneur or leader

  • You’ve been craving space to feel and be felt

  • You know your next level of leadership won’t come from pushing harder

  • You want to move emotions through the body—not manage them with your mind

  • You’re curious what happens when you stop performing and start listening

What You'll Experience:

  • Somatic Practices: Grounding techniques to reconnect with your body.

  • Emotional Release Work: Safe spaces to express and process emotions.

  • Nervous System Unwinding: Tools to shift from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest.

  • Heart-Centered Leadership: Cultivating authenticity and alignment in your leadership style.

About JOE SHOEMAKER

I’ve spent the last 13 years guiding high-performing humans—leaders and builders—back to their center. My work blends somatic coaching, meditation, and energy practices rooted in ancient wisdom and modern nervous system science.

I created the H.E.A.R.T. Code™ as a path back to wholeness—because too many brilliant people are walking around burned out, disconnected from their own bodies, and unsure how to reclaim their power without pushing harder.

This work isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you hear yourself again—clearly, courageously, and with compassion. That’s the real leadership I care about.
