The Luminous Dark
You're invited to join us for a deep dive into the holy and fertile...
Winter is a time for rest and reflection.
So often we get caught up in the hectic frenzy of the holiday season, we miss the opportunity to reset and replenish our innermost reserves. We often start the year off with ambitious goals, then burn out within a few weeks. Instead beginning the year feeling exhausted, this course is an invitation to prioritize gentleness, self-love and nourishing your core so you can begin the year feeling your best.
With the support of a beautiful community of women, we'll practice the art of rejuvenating our feminine vitality by doing less *better*, not more.
Yin is an aspect of sacred feminine energy that plays an important role in the Universal balance of all things. It is the quality slowness, softness, quietude, receptivity, patience, spaciousness and ease. It's an undervalued and misunderstood part of the life cycle, but the secret sauce to feeling alive, creative and juicy.

This is called a practitioner's circle because the emphasis is on practice.
It's about coming together and supporting each other in deepening our individual and collective cultivation of the feminine. The feminine has many facets, and this course is designed to emphasis the Yin qualities mentioned above to reflect cosy wintertime.
This is an opportunity to begin the year with a beautiful routine that feels aligned with your values – and be supported with accountability and inspiration from other amazing women.
