Refuge Space—One hour of calm

may 22, 7-8p CT

A live session with guided meditation, reflection, and writing

Life is busy and full—you don’t have time to pause and breathe, let alone nourish your heart. Let me hold space and provide guidance (you don’t need to DIY your whole life!).

Refuge Space includes guided meditation and journal writing, as well as movement and stretching—things you don’t make time for in daily life. Within an hour, you can restore and ground; you can come home to yourself.

Refuge space is a gift to your soul. Each time I feel supported and encouraged to explore the inner workings of my mind-body-spirit, and I come away feeling nourished and refreshed. This has become my new monthly ritual!

Theme for May Refuge Space

When a full moon rises, the night sky is bright and alive. It’s a powerful time to listen inward—listen to emotions, needs, and deeper wisdom. Equally, it’s important to celebrate with the moon. Hundreds of things are going well in your life!  Through meditation, movement, and writing, you’ll be more present, courageous, and joyful in the life you have.

FAQ

  • No meditation experience needed! I guide the mindfulness practices. It’s easier to meditate with a guiding teacher and supportive group.

  • Your camera can be on or off—you choose! Refuge Space lets you show up just as you are. At the end of each session, I invite community sharing via the chat, but it’s not required. Participate or observe—both are welcome.
