EVENTS
The Wise Woman Circle: A Six-Week Experience
The midlife transition is a major one for women, usually fraught with many challenges. Most women struggle through it alone: without the support of other women navigating the same issues, and without the emotional, spiritual, somatic, and energetic support that would allow us to harness the power and wisdom that is made available to us during this major life transition.
Women’s circle offers a space for women to connect with other women. Circle is a safe, sacred space where we can feel seen, validated, held, and understood. Circle offers a space of belonging and connection, a space where we can be vulnerable and real without fear of judgment. Circle is a space of deep alchemy and transformation, and offers a safe, trauma-informed space of healing for women.
We will meet on the following dates: October 15, 22, 29, November 5, 12, 19 from 6:30 - 8:30 pm.
The 6-week Experience:
6 Women’s Circles - connection, sharing, somatic energy healing, and practical guidance
1 individual 1:1 Somatic Bodywork session with Karallyn
A Journal for tracking your experience
Additional resources and handouts
1 spa service at Miori
Fruit, chocolate, and tea provided

The Wise Woman Circle (Weaverville, NC)
Midlife is a challenging time, to be sure, and it can be extremely isolating.
Not only does our culture not venerate aging women, but it also makes us feel utterly invisible, rejected, and unwanted.
The truth is, that midlife and menopause offer the most potent initiation that women will ever experience. Unlike the initiations of marriage and childbirth, this one is all about us…it’s about our healing and ours alone, and we typically are forced to navigate it alone. This initiation journey offers us an opportunity to release old egoic thoughts, beliefs, stories, and rules that no longer serve us so we can step into a deep alignment with our authentic selves…the essence of who we came here to be.
When we join together in circle, we receive the gift of meditating together, singing together, praying together, moving together, holding space for one another, and witnessing each sister’s healing. In addition, the container of sacred sisterhood naturally deepens our own personal healing and deepening as wise women.
You can expect somatic healing practices, Earth-based wisdom, divine feminine archetypal healing, heart shares, connection, sound bath, music, movement, and a healing journey.
We gather each moon (month) in person as close to the dark (waning) moon as possible to connect with the power of the dark mother goddess and the crone.

Somatic Awareness: Tools For Self-Regulation (online)
Somatic Experiencing is a powerful model for the healing of trauma created by Dr. Peter Levine. In this class, we will draw teachings from the Somatic Experiencing model to assist you in your healing and embodiment process.

* gain practices for grounding that will help you to connect with yourself and with the present moment
* Learn ways that you can connect with the goodness that is already within and around you
* learn about the four F's of trauma - the trauma responses
* understand the important role of the window of tolerance

Self-Attunement: Deepen the Connection With Yourself
Self-attunement is our ability to connect with ourselves and tune into our unique emotions, needs, sensations, and perspectives. It is a crucial part of being able to recognize and respond to our own needs, and to self-regulate when we are in distress.
The practices of mindfulness and self-compassion are key components of self-attunement and help us to tune into our deeper needs, and meet them compassionately. Self-attunement offers us a space of safety within ourselves, which in turn deepens our capacity for connection with others and life. When we are attuned to ourselves, we are able to respond to our needs in the moment, which includes self-regulation, grounding, and self-care.
In this class, we will cover self-attunement from multiple angles, and focus on concrete practices to help you to restore connection with your body and emotions.
Our Class will take place in our online membership portal. $33/month with free three-day trial.
Monday, August 5
7:00 pm (two hours)
Women’s Healing Circle For Survivors
Life as a survivor can be super challenging, and even more so when we don't have safe spaces where we feel supported. We need more healing spaces where we can just show up and receive.
In our women’s healing circle, we will engage in somatic practices to help us ground in our bodies in the present moment and connect with supportive resources to gain access to more space, calm, and capacity in our nervous systems. We will also engage in a healing guided meditation that will deepen the connection with ourselves, our resources, and our capacity for goodness.
FREE of cost. Donations welcomed.
To join us, sign up for your three-day free trial in our membership community. In the three days, you can join our healing circle, check out our past class recordings, and our other resources in our library.

Summer Solstice Circle & Fire Ceremony
Women’s circles offer a safe and sacred space for women to connect with other women. Sacred circle offers us a space that is fundamentally different from the way women have interacted much of the time in our modern culture, which is often so heavily based on competitiveness and fear, a way that can breed feelings of not-enoughness. Circle is a space of unconditionality, where we are accepted, held, and loved as we are. We can show up as we are and feel held, seen, validated, and accepted.
When we join together in circle, we have the gift of meditating together, singing together, praying together, holding space for one another, and witnessing our sister’s healing. In addition, the container of sacred sisterhood naturally deepens our healing and expansion.
Circle will take place at a private residence in Asheville.

Power Retrieval For Self-Healing
In Shamanism, the term “power” means life force energy. If our life force is weak, we may feel depressed, anxious, ill, helpless, hopeless, and disempowered on many different levels.
Power loss occurs when we are dominated or abused by others. This includes manipulation, gaslighting, power plays, abuse, and it can happen when others try to “one-up” us in competitive ways. We give our power away when we believe that other people, addictions, or compulsions have power over us.
In this class, we will discuss some of the causes of power loss and some of the ways that we can begin to take our power back, shamanically and somatically.
Women’s New Moon Circle: Ring Of Fire
We gather in circle at the New Moon, the time of the maiden. The new moon is the beginning of the lunar cycle and is a potent time for gathering in ceremonial space.
The new moon is a time for new beginnings and for getting a fresh start. It is a time to connect more deeply with the divine, with our guides, our inner terrain, a time to vision, and to plant seeds for what we wish to manifest in our lives. The new moon is a potent time for divination and for accessing the wisdom of oracle cards or tarot.
With the naturally introspective nature of the new moon, we are invited to turn inward in deep contemplation. When we join together at this time in circle, we have the gift of meditating together, singing together, praying together, holding space for one another, and witnessing our sister’s healing. The container of sacred sisterhood naturally deepens our own personal healing and expansion.
Space is Limited to allow for depth of connection.

Full Moon Nature Walk & Fire Ceremony
The full Harvest Moon is on the 29th, and as we are now entering the autumn season, this is the perfect time to get outside and connect more fully with nature.
We will meet at my home by Richmond Hill Park and walk down to the park together. Our walk will be mindful and silent, and the focus will be to connect with nature and the elements, as an active meditation practice. You will be given instructions and prompts that will help you to connect with the nature spirits and elementals more deeply.
Following the nature walk, we will head back to my house to share what we gathered from our walk and to join in a full moon fire ceremony that will help you release anything that may be blocking the manifestations that you set at the new moon.

Community Grief Circle
We join together in community in sacred circle to tend to our grief. Grief tending is the antidote to the solitary burden. Grief tending invites us to bring compassion, care, and kindness to our grief. We recognize that grief is not a problem to solve or a thing to be gotten rid of, it is a place of woundedness that needs tending to, a place that needs our love and care. All parts of you and your grief are welcome in our grief-tending circles - your sadness, anger, rage, despair, guilt, numbness, and loneliness - all you bring is welcome here.
Grief tending invites you out of the shadows of isolation to be seen and held in your grief. It longs to be held and witnessed in the sanctity of holy sacred circle, where it is witnessed in Love. We learn to hold our grief more adeptly, seeing it as holy, and we recognize that it offers us a deeper connection with our hearts and with life itself. In circle, we gain more capacity to hold all of the flavors of life…the darkness and the light, including our sadness, pain, anger, joy, peace, and love. When we turn toward our grief with openness and care, we gain more acceptance and gratitude for the seasons and emotions: life, death and rebirth, joy and sorrow.

Grief Circles for Women
Grief is not limited to the loss of a loved one. We carry grief for what happened in our lives, what didn’t happen, what we got, and didn’t get, the love we expected to receive and did not receive, ancestral grief, collective grief, and even ecological grief. As you can see, grief is something that is always with us, and it deserves our attention and reverence as a path of healing and a path to greater joy, love, and connection with all of life.
Grief tending invites you out of the shadows of isolation to be seen and held in your grief. It longs to be held and witnessed in the sanctity of holy sacred circle, where it is witnessed in Love. We learn to hold our grief more adeptly, seeing it as holy, and we recognize that it offers us a deeper connection with our hearts and with life itself. In circle, we gain more capacity to hold all of the flavors of life…the darkness and the light, including our sadness, pain, anger, joy, peace, and love. When we turn toward our grief with openness and care, we gain more acceptance and gratitude for the seasons and emotions: life, death and rebirth, joy and sorrow.
FREE Monthly Circles For Healers and Helpers
Self-Care and the Wounded Healer
Self-care comes first, which is why the topic of our very first workshop is all about how to put ourselves first, tend to our needs, and manage the inevitable challenging internal and sometimes external energies when we choose ourselves first.
We will discuss our relationships to our needs, what self-care means, how to implement it, and how to tend to our sensitive nervous systems.

July Women’s Circle
a sense of safety
The new moon in Cancer invites us to commit to things that cultivate positive Cancer qualities, such as honoring ourselves - our feelings, our needs, our desires, and our intentions. We focus on the things that help us to feel a sense of safety, security, comfort, and feeling at home in our bodies, our lives, and in our relationships. We allow ourselves to be supported and to offer support to others when we can, all in the interest of deepening our feeling at home and secure within ourselves and our bodies. We may make decisions and shifts in our lives at this time that are geared toward creating more harmonious relationships and home lives. We may feel drawn during this time to gardening, cooking, or even painting our homes, bringing more feelings of delight and ease. We need to be aware of the more complex energy from Pluto at this time that may have us push or overdo things as a result of fear. The best antidote to this is embodiment and mindfulness.

Mother Wound Daylong Retreat
The Mother Wound, in short, is the pain of being a woman in a patriarchal society. It is pain that we all carry, and it is passed from one woman to the next, mother to daughter until someone finally stops the cycle. The Mother Wound tells us that we aren’t enough and that we are too much...it tells us that there is something terribly wrong with us, that we are weak, that we don’t matter, and as a result, that we should keep quiet, be “good”, not rock the boat and just COMPLY with the status quo and DO AS WE ARE TOLD.
The Mother Wound has far-reaching repercussions. It creates within women feelings of lack, chronic fear, of not-enoughness, anger, depression, feelings that there is something wrong with us, patterns of self-sabotage, perfectionism, people-pleasing, chronic stress and worry, relationship issues, boundary issues (trouble saying no), trust issues, a tendency to not speak up, to hide feelings and squelch your own dreams, therefore settling for scraps. It makes us give ourselves away. These feelings get passed down, mother to daughter, generation after generation. Essentially it stunts our growth and stunts our potential. It keeps us small and if we allow it, it will keep us locked into a childlike way of being that cuts us off from our essence and our highest potential.
In this daylong retreat, we will explore a few facets of the mother wound, including:
How your relationship with your mother has affected you
Knowing that what happened is not your fault in any way
Seeing your mother for who she is vs. who you want her to be (the idealized, imagined mother)
Allow yourself to start to grieve for what did happen and what did not happen
Develop an inner sense of safety and containment
Connect with the Great Mother
…and much more

Summer Solstice Circle
Spontaneity and play are at the heart of our new moon circle at this summer solstice. We commune with the fae, with the muse, with our inner fire, and with our inner children, and allow them to lead us into the potent alchemy of spontaneity, creativity, and unbridled joy. The kind of safety and joy that we access in play offers us a deeper portal into our own power as creatrixes of our lives.
We gather in sacred circle to honor the goddess, honor the Earth Mother, and honor the sun and the moon. We gather to give thanks for our blessings, and we gather to celebrate life. We gather to dance, frolic, sing, honor, connect, heal, and play. We gather at this sacred midsummer time to embody even more of our light.
During our circle, we will have an opportunity for deep soul sharing, dance, song, channeled teachings from the sisterhood of light, and a guided alchemical healing journey.

Full Moon Fire Ceremony For Women
The strawberry full moon on June 3 is in the sign of Sagittarius, and with it comes an energy of optimism, cheerfulness, inspiration, and celebration.
The influence of firey Sagittarius and its patron Jupiter is manifested in openness and inexhaustible love of life. Your feelings of inspiration may help you to feel as if anything is possible. There is no place for pessimism: if something does not suit you, you can always begin again. This is a time of positive change when our best qualities are brought forward. The challenges that arise do not frighten us, instead, they add fuel to the fire of our inspiration to move forward. At this time we feel that it’s more possible than ever to be the master of our own destinies.
This ceremony will be held at a private residence and will include a fire ceremony, a share of the astrology of the moon, intention setting, dance/movement, and energetic activation.
Space is limited.
May Women’s Circle: Manifesting magic
Our senses are awakened with the energy of the Taurus new moon. It is a good time to enjoy life’s sensual and tactile pleasures, such as connection with sisters, nature, good food, and music. It is an ideal time to stop and smell the roses, becoming more aware of what inspires us, drives us, and makes us feel safe and comfortable.
The Taurus new moon offers an opportunity to visualize how we want our lives to feel, look and taste. It is a time to discover what truly makes us happy, fulfilled, and abundant in our lives so that we can dream our ideal lives into being.
During our circle, we will have an opportunity for deep soul sharing, channeled teachings from the sisterhood of light, and a guided alchemical healing journey.
Our circle will be held at a private residence in San Francisco

Wise Woman Daylong Retreat
This path is for all women. The wise woman archetype invites us to become the woman we have always intended to be. She connects us with the wisdom and the power of the crone, of the woman who has been through challenges in life and has come out the other side stronger, more resilient, and more confident in who she is and her place in the world. The wise woman doesn’t apply to convention and paves her own way. She is unafraid to use her voice to speak up for things that matter to her. She does not need your approval. She operates on her self-authority and works to cultivate and maintain self-mastery in all areas of her life.
The wise woman is a woman who is blossoming into the fullest version of herself.

May Full Moon Ceremony & Activation (ZOOM)
The May full moon is also a full lunar eclipse on May 5 in the sign of Scorpio.
The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.
The sun is in the sign of Taurus at this time and the moon is in the sign of Scorpio. This Taurus-Scorpio polarity deals with the balance between all that is mine (Taurus) and all that is yours (Scorpio). It also emphasizes the concept of form (Taurus) versus the concept of transformation (Scorpio). While Taurus deals with personal value, material goods, possessions, and security, Scorpio rules the destruction of form, shared possessions, change, and personal transformation. The Sun in Taurus encourages happiness with the simple things in life that are tangible, while the Scorpio Moon draws our attention to the complexities, intangibles, and mysteries of life.
This ceremony will be held online and will include a share of the astrology of the moon, intention setting, a guided journey, and energetic activation.

April Women's Circle: Self-Empowerment
With the new moon on April 20, there will be a solar eclipse, the effects of which will be felt for up to six months. In the sign of Aries, this eclipse brings into focus matters relating to personal plans, courage, independence, and self-assertion. This time is about new beginnings and long-term changes are in the works!
The eclipse energy may illuminate issues around independence and courage and offers us a potent opportunity to step into self-empowerment and self-mastery. As such, this is a powerful time to check in to see where and how we may not have been fully aligned with our authentic being.
This is a time now that we can see things as they are instead of how we wish they could be, and we recognize and accept that endings or big changes are sometimes necessary in order to create the life we would like to live. This moon is an ideal time to call upon our courage and confidence as we assert ourselves in new ways.
During our circle, we will have an opportunity for deep soul sharing, channeled teachings from the sisterhood of light, and a guided alchemical healing journey.
Our circle will be held at Gaia Sophia Center Sanctuary at 70 Woodfin Place #212 in Asheville. There is ample parking in the parking lot.
