We are missing spaces for women to get together for substantive conversation, something beyond the How are you’s? and What are the kids up to?
This is not a lecture series. It’s a space to address what deserves more attention than it gets in the busy day-to-day, a place to talk about what is Really happening, and ways to find Joy in the midst of it all.
The Joy Circle is a guided cohort experience for women exploring how to live with creativity, courage, and meaning in the years ahead.
Meeting monthly in an intimate virtual circle, participants engage ideas from writers and thinkers in creativity, neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative traditions while also developing embodied practices that support joy and resilience.
The program blends:
intellectual exploration
reflective conversation
creative practices
somatic awareness
supportive community
We forget that our nervous system is actually running everything.
We think, because of our enlightenment background for hundreds of years now, that our brains are running the show. If our brains were running the show, as long as we're smart, we wouldn't have any problems... But your brain exists inside a universe of interconnected systems.
I want to help you not to feel guilty or somehow wrong or weird that you can't control everything about how you respond to slings and arrows that come at you. And learn about practices that help you rest back into your body.
Each month includes an embodied practice.
Possible modalities include:
breathwork and pranayama
meditation
mindful walking
labyrinth walking
yoga or Pilates
gentle strength movement
nervous system regulation practices
Participants explore how the body supports emotional resilience and joy.

People in your world, other women, chosen sisters who see you with kind eyes, with acceptance, curiosity and love. People you can be open with, where you don’t feel the need to ‘mask’ yourself.
I am creating a village for women to gather to practice conscious, examined, FUN living.
You’ve done the things, and you’ve served the people, and now you might be asking some questions. How do I get back to me? How do I fulfill what I see as the next chapter in my life? I want to create a container for that kind of exploration, a place to ask What is Possible for me, in community.
Joy is a choice. It’s a posture, and it’s accessible when you understand what it really is. Joy isn’t happiness that just passes. Joy is deeper. It’s something you notice in small moments, unexpectedly, often in the midst of chaos. Learn how to fill your internal reserves, to be nourished so you can maintain that deep well as a resource. You can live with Joy in your life.
