The
Offerings

"Each path into this work is different. All of them lead to the same question — the one the body has been holding, patiently, for as long as you have been alive."

Investment is discussed in conversation. What is offered here is an invitation to understand — not to purchase.

Women's
Moon Circle

For women ready to lead from the inside out — not through strategy, but through the embodied authority of genuine knowing. This is not a course. It is a living container that meets on the rhythm of the earth itself.

Investment discussed in conversation · First cohort forming for 2027

The Women's Moon Circle is rooted in a simple understanding: women do not need to be taught how to lead. They need spaces where the conditioning that obscured that knowing can finally be laid down.

Meeting on the new and full moon over three months, the circle weaves together somatic practice, dyad integration, lunar-guided goal setting, wisdom offerings, and shared circle space. Each gathering is also continued in a private discussion board — because some of what opens in a circle cannot be finished in a single evening.

The facilitation is non-hierarchical. The container is held not through expertise alone but through the experiential wisdom of women who have walked this ground themselves. This is what it means to be a wisdom keeper — not someone above the circle, but someone woven into it.

What moves through each gathering?
Somatic attunement, circle sharing, integration dyads, wisdom offerings, and closing ritual. Each gathering follows the lunar tone — new moon for seeding, full moon for integration and release.
Who is this for?
Women who sense that something in them knows more than their current life reflects. Those who have been leading from performance rather than presence — and are ready for something more honest.
What is the commitment?
Two gatherings per month for three months, aligned with the lunar calendar. Plus access to the private discussion circle between sessions.
How do I know if I'm ready?
That question itself is usually the answer. Reach out — we will find that out together in conversation.

Dyad
Meditation

An open invitation to the practice of genuine presence and self-inquiry. Rooted in the Enlightenment Intensive tradition. No prior experience needed — only the willingness to be honest.

Offered on a dana basis · Dates announced per session

In a dyad, two people take turns holding a single question. One speaks from direct experience — not analysis, not story, but the raw texture of present awareness. The other receives in full presence, without commentary or response. Then they switch.

What emerges is rarely what we expect. The practice cuts through the noise of ordinary conversation and arrives somewhere more honest — a quality of contact with oneself that most of us rarely access in daily life.

These online evenings are offered as community practice, open to all who are curious. The entry point is simple: show up, be willing to not know, and see what the question opens.

What does dyad deepen?
Interoception — the body's felt sense of its own interior. Metacognition — the capacity to observe the movement of mind without being swept away. And the rare quality of being genuinely present with another person.
What if I have never done this before?
The sessions are facilitated and guided. There is no way to do it wrong. The practice itself will teach you.
What does dana mean?
A practice of offering freely, from what you have, in proportion to what you received. No one is turned away.

Somatic
Experiencing

One-to-one work with the body's held experience. For those navigating trauma, chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, or the felt sense of disconnection from themselves.

Investment discussed in conversation · In person in Portland or online

Somatic Experiencing works on a simple and radical premise: trauma is not in the event. It is in the nervous system's incomplete response to that event — held, waiting, wanting to finish.

Sessions work directly with body sensation, impulse, and the subtle language of the autonomic nervous system. We do not re-live. We do not retell. We work at the edge of what is held, with care, until the body finds its own way through.

Over two decades in acute care neuro-rehabilitation, and direct experience assisting Peter Levine, inform a clinical depth that is rigorous without being cold — and relational without being directive. The pace is always yours.

What does a session look like?
Sessions involve tracking body sensation, working with activation and resource, and gently meeting the edges of what is held. There is no prescribed structure — the nervous system leads.
What is this appropriate for?
Trauma integration, chronic stress, developmental patterns, nervous system dysregulation, and any felt sense of being somehow disconnected from oneself or one's body.
How many sessions does it take?
This varies significantly. Some work is complete in a handful of sessions. Some is a longer journey. We find that out together.

Workshops &
Intensives

Skill development and embodied learning. These offerings are forming — rooted in the conviction that the most durable knowledge is the kind that lands in the body, not only the mind.

Investment discussed per offering · Join the list to be notified

What is forming here is a body of work around skills that are rarely taught in embodied ways — emotional literacy, stress and resilience education, the practical knowledge of the nervous system that changes how we move through life.

Also forming: day-long women's gatherings, wisdom keeper dialogues, and dyad intensives for those who have tasted self-inquiry and want to go further.

These will be small. They will be experiential. They will ask something of you — and return something you did not know you were missing.

Skills Training
Emotional literacy, nervous system education, and the embodied practices that build genuine resilience — not the performance of coping, but the actual capacity to return to ground.
Women's Day Gatherings
Immersive day-long circles drawing on somatic practice, wisdom keeper traditions, and the particular intelligence that emerges when women gather in genuine presence.
Dyad Intensives
A full day in the fire of honest presence — extended practice, community, and the depth that only time and structure together can open.

Practitioner
Training

For clinicians, therapists, and healthcare providers who sense that the nervous system is already in the room with every patient — and want to learn how to meet it there.

Begins with a free 20-minute conversation · Investment tailored to scope

The nervous system is present in every clinical encounter. It shapes what a patient can hear, what they can tolerate, what they can integrate. Most training teaches us to work with the mind and the mechanics of the body — but not with the living system that holds all of it together.

Learning a somatic lens is not an add-on to clinical practice. It changes the fundamental quality of presence you bring — how you read a room, how you hold activation, how you know when to slow down and when the system is ready to move.

We begin with a conversation. No assessment, no intake form — just an honest exchange about your work, your questions, and what you are looking for. From there, we build something specific to you.

Who is this for?
OTs, PTs, nurses, social workers, psychotherapists, physicians — any provider who senses that something essential is missing, and is willing to find out what that is.
What might we work on?
Reading nervous system states in patients. Co-regulation in clinical settings. Trauma-informed presence. SE principles applied to your specific population and context.
How does it begin?
A free 20-minute conversation. Genuinely free — not a sales call, but a real exchange. If there is a fit, we will know it together.

An Invitation"If something here is speaking to you — even if you are not yet sure what it is — that is enough to reach out. We will find our way from there."
