Embodiment Circle
A 12-week celebration of your whole self — a seasonal journey into safety, creativity, courage, and aligned leadership, guided by a faculty of 18 incredibly special human beings.
Together, we remember who we are and support what wants to emerge next.
The next Embodiment Circle starts January 18, 2026!
About the Embodiment Circle
The Safety, Freedom & Joy of Being Your True Self
A 12-week heart-centered safe space where people come together to practice being fully themselves — safely, creatively, and in relationship.
This is not a program to fix you, teach you new skills or help you become more productive. It is a celebration, a homecoming, and a collective remembering of who we are and why we're here.
Now in its 5th year, Embodiment Circle brings together a faculty of 18 incredibly special human beings — healers, entrepreneurs, teachers, artists, somatic practitioners, musicians, dancers, creatives each offering their unique lived experience, wisdom, and medicine in service of the whole.
The Seasonal Arc
Through five iterations, this online program has evolved into a deeply relational, trauma-informed, and seasonal container where participants are witnessed in their wholeness and supported to journey through the seasons.
We'll circle up every Thursday from 7-9pm EST to explore three chapters:
Feeling Safe Enough
Finding nervous system calm, safety and presence in the depths of Winter
Feeling our Hearts
Cultivating compassion, deep listening and sensing through our oracular bodies, setting intentions during Imbolc and dancing with the laws of nature
Creating as our True Self
Practicing courage, creativity, expression, shifting perspectives as we break ground and emerge in Spring
🔮Every month we will have a collective reflection session dedicated to deepen our learnings and connections with each other.

Who This Is For
The Embodiment Circle is for:
- •Healers, coaches, facilitators, educators, and creatives
- •Entrepreneurs, artists, and changemakers seeking community
- •People in transition — personal, professional, or spiritual who are looking to lead a more heart-centred life of purpose, meaning, and alignment.
- •Those longing to reconnect with their creativity, courage, and intuition.
This is a BIPOC-majority, gender-diverse, trauma-informed space grounded in nervous system awareness and relational care.
Why This Is a Celebration
What transforms people here isn't one technique or facilitator. It's the experience of being seen, witnessed, and celebrated in your wholeness. Once you've been reflected as your True Self, you can't unsee it. And neither can the world.
What This Is Not
This is not:
- ✕ a therapy group
- ✕ a hustle or productivity container
- ✕ a place to rescue or be rescued
- ✕ a hierarchy with one voice at the center
Participants are responsible for their own needs and self-regulation.
This allows the space to remain nourishing and sustainable for everyone.
If You Feel the Yes
The Embodiment Circle is a group process in liminal space: a place to plant seeds, remember your gifts, and be held as you step forward.
If your body feels a quiet yes, you're already part of the circle.
