A complimentary embodied workshop for women ready remember who they were before they learned who they had to be.
So many of us learned how to be good long before we learned how to be ourselves.
"Be helpful. productive, pleasant. Don’t disappoint anyone. Don’t need too much. Don’t take up too much space. Keep going. Hold it together."
Eventually, these adaptations can become so familiar that we mistake them for our personality.
Breaking the Spell is an invitation to begin noticing what you learned to become in order to belong and what may be waiting underneath it.
Together, we’ll explore the Good Girl conditioning, perfectionism, people-pleasing, overfunctioning, self-abandonment, and survival patterns that can quietly shape our relationships with our bodies, desires, boundaries, creativity, and lives.
But this isn’t another evening of analyzing yourself.
We’re going to begin practicing something different.
Through reflection, embodiment, guided imagery, conversation, and simple ritual, we’ll explore what it means to return to the wisdom of the body and reconnect with the wilder, more instinctive parts of ourselves.
Not wild as in reckless, wild as in alive.
Wild as in remembering that we are human animals...cyclical, intuitive, relational beings who belong to the Earth.
During our time together, we’ll explore:
- The invisible “Good Girl” rules many women learned to live by
- How conditioning becomes embodied and automatic
- The difference between understanding a pattern and actually changing our relationship with it
- What our bodies, boundaries, desires, anger, sensitivity, and intuition may be trying to tell us
- How we begin moving from performance and self-abandonment toward self-trust
- The possibility of reconnecting with ourselves, one another, and the living world around us
There will be time to reflect, feel, breathe, imagine, and listen.
You don’t need to arrive knowing anything about somatics, spirituality, or personal growth...Just bring yourself.
And a journal may be helpful :)
Why I created this
About ten years ago, I picked up Warrior Goddess Training by HeatherAsh Amara.
That book opened a door for me.
It eventually led me to train with HeatherAsh in Toltec shamanism and become a Warrior Goddess facilitator, but more importantly, it began a much longer unraveling of perfectionism, shame, overdoing, people-pleasing, and the many ways I had learned to leave myself in order to be accepted.
Over the decade since, I’ve spent my life exploring the body, nervous system, therapeutic breathwork, self-compassion, ritual, relationships, creativity, and the deeper question underneath all of it:
Who are we beneath the adaptations?
Breaking the Spell is the beginning of that conversation. A place to notice the old rules and to remember that your body has wisdom. A space to become curious about the woman underneath the conditioning. And perhaps to hear something inside you whisper: "There has to be another way to live".
There is....there is.
Come begin remembering it with us.
