FREE [+VIRTUAL] New Moon Contemplation

I started this business because I’m choosing to honor the subtle but undeniable urge to live and lead more authentically.

At the same time, I’m spending less time looking to books and experts for my next steps and more time diving inward to explore the unique way the divine is expressing herself as me.  

Do you know what I mean?  

Inspired by Emergence: The Shift from Ego to Essence by Barbara Marx Hubbard, each morning for the last month I’ve dedicated two hours to just be with Me…. in my meditations, in sacred time alone with Nature and journaling.  

I’m actually creating the space for curiosity and opening my inner ears + my inner eyes to the subtle nudges I ignored in the past

Here’s what’s bubbling up for me… 

• broader and more creative ideas about leadership

• a deeper, more respectful relationship with Nature

• a kinder, less judgemental perspective about myself + all of life…

• and finally, I’m befriending my body and embracing her as my teacher  

I believe that cultivating an intimate relationship with your own inner wisdom will change your life.  

And, I believe that’s absolutely possible for ALL busy women (even with a short investment of time).

That’s why I created FREE [+VIRTUAL] New Moon Contemplations - so we can gather together, supported by Nature + in honor of Soul.

Why the New Moon? 

I choose to honor the New Moon because in Nature, this is a time reserved to REFLECT on the past (i.e. notice what inspired you, what was prickly for you) + INVITE what’s to come (by creating an empowering intention for the coming lunar cycle).

Why Contemplation?

Contemplation invites us into the mystery of life! We can be curious about past, present, and future - and we do NOT have to have all the answers.

It’s a breath into letting your powerful, unique questions be the source of information (not books, not advice, not other peoples’ opinions).

What happens during a New Moon Contemplation?

Every New Moon Contemplation will delve into three layers of consciousness:

• First, we’ll move to the MIND (the witness of your life!) and give her an unedited chance to share.  

• Then, we’ll move into the higher vibration of the HEART, to soften and open the inner ears + eyes to more subtle messages. 

• And finally, we’ll move into the expansive HEART WITHIN THE HEART to welcome the wisdom of all ages.  

All of this will be done together with a group of Soulful Women, within the sacred container of a Coning (a short, powerful ceremony that asks Nature to co-create with us to manifest our biggest dreams.)

If you’re ready to live + lead more authentically with me, I invite you to sign up right here.

With deep gratitude for all my teachers, most especially Mother Nature + my inner guides...  

With love, Kathie

Compassionate Yoga for Chronic Pain [WORKSHOP]

About a year ago, I experienced debilitating pain in my left knee - the kind that prevented me from walking across the room. The kind that made me feel old. 

And here’s the thing about pain… it’s persistent. 

It feels heavy and like too much to hold sometimes, because it’s always (or often) there.

The good news is… there’s possibility inside pain (if you can get the necessary support from your healthcare providers AND yourself).

Here’s what I mean:According to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, with a dedicated practice of Tapas (i.e. having COMPASSION for everything in your life, especially your challenges)...  

You can return to balance and lightness and ease! (And I can attest to that.)

My pain was an invitation to SLOW DOWN and actually BEFRIEND my body in ways I hadn’t before… even as a dedicated student + teacher of yoga.

That’s what I want to offer to you now, as a yoga student and/or teacher.

THE WORKSHOP:

“Compassionate Yoga for Chronic Aches + Pains” was created within my experience with debilitating chronic pain. It’s my offering to help you (and/or your students) through something similar. 

Because the reality is, more and more people are suffering in pain. AND WE CAN HELP THEM!

This workshop is designed specifically to support you in co-creating a yoga practice that heals mind, body, and spirit. (For yoga teachers, this is an opportunity to gain 4 hours of “continuing education credit” while learning how to support your students through pain.)

We’ll play with important modifications to asana practice for someone in pain… and more importantly, we’ll talk about the mind-body-spirit philosophy of yoga that helped me move from immobility to youthful vitality!

SIGN UP right here. 

Love, Kathie

Gentle Yoga: Hip Openers for Creativity

Ready for a little movement? 

This 15-minute asana practice is designed to help you move out of “fight or flight mode,” calm your mind, and soothe your nervous system. 

The goal is to really create space with this movement - because space creates FREEDOM!

And movement that opens the hips helps us open to creativity (because our creative center lives right there).

As you practice, pay special attention to what feels tight and what feels open, both physically and mentally. 

Can you create more space? Can you open more fully?
