FAQ

Circles interest me but I often feel shy opening up in front of others and don't like divulging secrets. Is it still for me?

There is no pressure to share. And no need to divulge anything you aren't comfortable sharing with others. You don't have to say a thing! The size of the group is purposefully kept around seven - ten women to create a small, comfortable, warm, and open space. There is great freedom in knowing, expressing, and letting go of the stories we tell ourselves some of which hold us back. This takes courage and is often rewarding and freeing. The amazing thing is how when we tell our stories out loud, how helpful it is to others as well as ourselves. You hear, “me too” or “I thought I was the only one” and “I feel so much less alone.” It releases guilt, shame, doubt and is some of the oldest and best medicine there is!

What happens when the circle ends?

The good thing about a circle is it never ends! You will have a new group of awesome women/soul sisters that you can contact and connect with anytime. The invaluable support and collaboration cultivated during our time together is always available to you. Throughout the year, I also offer opportunities for gatherings such as book groups, intentional/goal setting get togethers, art, journal writing dates, one day chorus dates and dance parties. Every gathering is an opportunity to engage in meaningful, fun, heart-opening and life affirming conversation and community support.

How often do you offer circles?

Year round with an option for online in the summer. At least once a year, I offer a six week circle usually in January. In the Fall and Spring, I offer three month immersion circles to go a bit deeper. You are strongly encouraged to come to every session possible in effort to create an environment of accountability, consistency, and support. Also, life happens, and sometimes we have to miss a circle or I have to reschedule a session.

What’s up with a zoom circle?

Meeting in person is ideal. But we can’t always be in person and since we live all over the world, I created this opportunity to connect via zoom. And it’s awesome! We start the session much the same way we would if we were in person with a grounding and centering exercise and then will move to a journaling prompt or check in with each other. There are “assignments” that are fun, lighthearted and juicy to keep you inspired, hopeful and joyful. We can connect during the week too via text if you’re looking for some love, support and connection. It’s a beautiful space. designed to help you feel emotionally and mentally resilient.

Can you drop in or do you have to sign up for the full six weeks or three months?

There are no drop-ins nor do I offer a prorated fee. You must sign up for the full circle. You’re welcome to participate in as many circles as you like but if a circle has already started or is full, you can put your name on a waitlist for the next one. While there are similar threads in every circle, I introduce fresh ideas, themes, and different exercises and practices every time to keep things new and interesting.  

What do I bring with me?

The only thing you need to bring is a journal. If you don’t have one, I’ll provide one for you. We will sit outside when the weather is nice, but if it’s too hot, cold, stormy or buggy, we will be indoors sometimes around a fire, it will always be an intention, loving, and cozy space. Location of circle is shared upon registration.

If I have a group interested in doing a private circle or retreat, is this something you can provide for a group of friends and or coworkers? Yes, for a private group or retreat, there is usually a minimum of 5 people. Feel free to contact me to discuss options and cost!

I look forward to sharing this awakening, liberating, and loving experience with you! To stay connected, please sign up for my blog and or visit me on Instagram and Facebook.
