This week’s election results have brought a lightness and sense of agency that has been missing over the last couple of years for many of us. It doesn’t magically change all the damage that has been done, but it is a beginning. Give yourself permission to breathe and rest. Then, may we each continue to work toward the greater good in the places where we can take action and have influence.
Monday brings a New Moon in Scorpio. It’s intense energy encourages us to look deeply into our own pain and begin to transform the shadows that have been weighing us down. Learn more at Forever Conscious.
Yoga & Sound Healing
Join me online for Saturday Morning Yoga 8:30 AM MT as we pause, listen to our bodies, and care for them with lovingkindness.
Need an hour to just be before the busy week of Thanksgiving? Let me guide you through a sound journey to release tension and reset your nervous system. Join me in person or virtually for a Full Moon Sound Bath Saturday November 21 from 3-4 PM.
Women’s Circles
What happens when the roles that have defined you begin to shift—and you finally have space to ask, “What do I want the next chapter of my life to look like?” Join our Circles of Audacious Wise Women* to reconnect with what still feels true, question what no longer fits, and connect with other women asking the same questions. We will come together to honor our strengths and imperfections, all the versions of who we’ve been throughout our lives, and the inner knowing and accumulated wisdom that guides us as we move forward.
*Registration is open for our Winter Session (January 10, 17, 24, & 31) and Spring Session (April 4, 11, 18, & 25). Both sessions take place from 1-3 PM at Harmonist Sanctuary.
Self-Compassion
Would you like to nurture your inner self-compassionate voice and quiet your inner critic? I am offering a 6 session, self-paced Self-Compassion Meditation Course to support you. Each recorded session includes a short reading and a guided meditation designed to support your journey toward greater lovingkindness and compassion for yourself. Your purchase of the course offers unlimited access to the recordings.
