As the year begins to turn, I’ve been reflecting on the many ways this work unfolded.
Through rooms alive with connection, quiet online spaces, shared meals, brave conversations, and moments of deep listening, it feels like looking back on a tapestry woven slowly, thread by thread.
In January, a small group of women gathered into my mentorship program. Over the months that followed, we built trust and explored the art of circle together. In the spring, we came together in person for a practice retreat. Those days felt grounding and quietly transformative — a reminder of how powerful it is to learn and practice in the field together.
Closer to home, I had the joy of facilitating a local circle here at the Lotus Room. Around the same time, a virtual circle began to take shape as well. Gathering women from across the country to connect, reflect, and deepen together — despite the miles between us — has been unexpectedly intimate and nourishing.
This fall brought two full retreats, each with its own distinct energy. Both were marked by a shared willingness to slow down, listen more closely, and remember what becomes possible when we step out of our individual lives and into collective presence.
I also had the opportunity to work with a group practice in California, traveling to Tahoe to facilitate their staff retreat and later supporting the launch of their group program. Watching that work take root and grow has been deeply gratifying.
What stands out most as I look back is the hope and joy this work continues to offer, especially in the midst of such challenging times. Connecting with others who care deeply about creating opportunities to gather, slow down, and be together in meaningful, nourishing ways has been profoundly sustaining. Again and again, I’m reminded that even now — perhaps especially now — there is something deeply life-giving about coming together with intention and heart.
As I turn toward the year ahead, I’m holding a sense of spaciousness and curiosity, listening for what wants to emerge.
With so much gratitude for this wider web and all the ways our paths have crossed. 🤍
