Group Embodiment Circle
Small-Group Coaching
Individualized Attention ~ Community Support
Tuesdays in October
10/1, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22, 10/29
6-7:30 pm Pacific
- Have you been wanting to start or deepen your mindfulness practice?
- Are you looking to develop a better connection to your intuition & inner knowing?
- Do you long to spend more of your day-to-day life in an embodied, present state?
- Does the idea of developing these skills in the presence of a supportive community appeal to you?
I developed Group Embodiment Circle for those answering 'YES!' to these questions.
Each week will begin with a guided awareness/ meditation practice followed by individual mini coaching sessions. At the end of the 5-week program, members will have built a toolkit of at least 3-5 self-care exercises to use as needed AND received personalized support around issues specific to them, all while in community.
Primary Focus/Goals:
- Developing somatic awareness
- Using felt sense as a guide for self care and tapping into intuition
- Fostering community and connection between group members
Additional Goals/Possible Outcomes:
- Gaining awareness and acceptance of core self
- Developing an understanding of personal temperament, qualities, and strengths (celebrating authentic self)
- Lifting off layers of judgment that stem from the systemic oppression of colonialism, capitalism, and grind culture
Recordings of the guided practices only will be provided to group members for personal use. Group discussions and coaching sessions are NOT recorded to maintain confidentiality and foster community connection.
Why group coaching? It's the importance of community.
As humans, we are social beings wired for community connection and interdependence. One of the most effective methods for combating stress is coming together with fellow humans with a shared purpose or goal (this is why activities such as team sports, choir, and book clubs feel so rewarding).
In addition, practicing embodiment in a group setting reminds us of how much we have in common, normalizing everyday struggles and fostering empathy for others as well as ourselves.
In short... it helps us not feel so alone.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Need more info before deciding to join? See the answers to common questions below:
Am I the right fit for this program?
These group coaching sessions are designed for anyone looking to start or deepen an embodied mindfulness practice. A basic level of awareness of your own body and nervous system is recommended. These sessions are not a substitute for psychotherapy or working one-on-one with a licensed medical and/or psychological professional. If you are currently in crisis, right now may not be the right time to participate.
How long is the program?
The program will meet weekly for five weeks. Each meeting lasts approximately 1.5-2 hours and includes a short (10-15 minutes) guided meditation practice followed by individual coaching mini-sessions with time for community feedback and support.
When and where do we meet?
The Fall 2024 program will run on Tuesday evenings in October: 10/1, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22, and 10/29 at 6-7:30pm Pacific time. Meetings will be held virtually via Zoom, or you can join by phone (this helps make the program more accessible to participants in multiple locations while keeping program costs more affordable).
What if I can't attend live? Will meetings be recorded?
Recordings of the guided practices only will be provided to group members for personal use. Group discussions and coaching sessions are NOT recorded to maintain confidentiality and foster community connection.
How big are the groups?
Each five-week program is limited to 3-4 participants. This insures each member is allowed ample time during their individual mini-session, while also promoting an intimate group feel and fostering connection between group members.
How much does the program cost?
The Beta test run will be offered at a big discount in exchange for your feedback and review. Normally, each five-week program is $250 per person (which works out to $50 per meeting).
What if I don't like the program? Can I get a refund?
Participants may request a full refund for any reason within 24 hours after the conclusion of the first meeting. Requests must be submitted in writing via email. Due to the short nature of the program, and to encourage attendance and promote cohesion within the group, there are no refunds available after the start of the second meeting even if you cannot participate for any reason.
