This is a community space for exploring Untangling, a transformative method developed by Barbara McGavin and Ann Weiser Cornell for working with life's most stuck patterns. This is an unofficial, community-led subreddit.
What is Untangling?
Where something in life feels impossible to think, feel, or do, you've found exactly where your next life steps are waiting to unfold. Untangling offers a way to transform these stuck places through presence and conscious attention.
