Watch this 2-minute video about Refuge Space.
Life is busy and full—you don’t often make time to pause and reflect. Let me hold space and provide guidance (you don’t need to DIY your whole life!).
Refuge Space includes guided meditation, reflection, writing, and gentle movement. Within an hour, you can restore, ground, and come home to yourself.
“Refuge Space is my monthly oasis. It’s a designated space to reconnect with my breath, reflect, and simply be (even when life gets busy). Joy is a wonderfully caring leader. I feel welcome to show up just as I am, whatever that looks like, and I leave each session with a sense of connection and ease.”
does this sound familiar?
You rarely have time for yourself.
When space arrives, you’re too exhausted to know what to do with it.
You crave calm yet aren’t sure how to get there.
You need accountability to look and tend inward.
You seek quiet in a noisy world.
Refuge space allows you to…
Settle your mind and body.
Notice what’s going on in your life.
Listen for what you need.
Take small, doable steps forward.
You don't have to plan your own hour of self-care.
I'll guide you through the process.
All you have to do is show up.
“Refuge Space gives me a dedicated, scheduled hour to devote myself to self-care. I love this rejuvenating process. It’s a welcoming and comfortable group.”
Here’s how refuge space works:
We meet live via Zoom from 6:30-7:30p Central Time.
Joy leads an opening meditation to settle your mind and body.
Then we move into the night’s theme: Joy introduces the idea and guides you through meditation, reflection, and journal writing, with time to consider small steps forward.
At the end, participants briefly share an insight or small step. Sharing creates connection and gives us encouragement to follow through.
Each session is recorded, so if you miss the live version, you can watch the replay.
No prep. No stress. You show up just as you are.
“Refuge Space provides a perfect mix of meditation and writing. Through Joy’s guidance, I get deep insights, as well as practical actions steps. All the while, I’m held by the beautiful community that gathers. I love Refuge Space—it’s my monthly reset.”
Theme for September Refuge Space
September’s Refuge Space falls near the autumnal equinox, a natural time to reflect on balance. We’ll explore the different areas of our lives and notice where things feel steady, where they feel out of balance, and where a small shift might help. We’ll also consider the balance between caring for others and caring for ourselves, and between doing and being. Rather than aiming for perfect balance, we’ll find a more flexible, flowing sense of balance in our everyday lives.

“A month without Joy and Refuge Space is like a month without sunshine! Sharing space with Joy and others is healing for me. I come away refreshed and with one small step I can take in my life; a step I wouldn’t recognize or do otherwise. Listening to Joy’s kind, soothing voice is like a comforting blanket. Refuge Space is an investment in me!”

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, but it’s not required. Participate or observe—both are welcome.

I know life interrupts in unexpected ways. I record each session, so you can watch and experience the practices at a different time. If you want to join live, I’ll move your registration to the next month’s Refuge Space—just let me know.
