Imagine stepping into a circle of people that can handle all of you. No masks. No pretense. You don’t have to dim your light. You don’t have to play small. A place to explore, to refine, and to practice wielding your power. A place to amplify your greatness—not just fix what’s broken.

You’re Ready to Rise.
And You're Not Alone.

You’ve done the foundational healing work, and now it’s time to take the next step—to ascend into a life of tremendous creativity, power, and joy.

Your team is gathering. A fellowship of like-minded co-journeyers who require that you show up in the full expression of yourself.

Welcome to The Gathering. We’re thrilled to have you with us.

There’s a Ripple Effect

When you experience big growth, it touches every part of your life—your intimate relationships, how your parent, how you run your company.

Here, growth doesn’t stop when the retreat ends. The Gathering focuses on gracefully bridging the space between the big upgrades and daily life.

We offer a consistent container for your journey—a men’s small group and a women’s small group. You’ll be on the same team over time, building trust and accountability, developing a knowing and an elegant symbiosis. Through ceremonial work, regular calls, and adventures, you’ll be supported in turning breakthroughs into lasting change.

The team will not leave your loved ones behind. Significant others and even kids are invited for select events, because growth is meant to be shared.

FAQs

  • This isn’t just about adding one more thing to your already full plate. It’s about carving out intentional time that feeds your soul and gives you back some of that joy and vitality you’ve been missing. Imagine how much more energy you’d have to show up for everything else in your life once you’ve reconnected with your own sense of lightness and strength.

  • This circle is for those who may come from different paths but share that same deep longing for more—more joy, more connection, more life. It is for anyone who feels like they've lost touch with that part of themselves that used to feel playful, adventurous, and free. You don’t need to have experience with ceremonial retreats or even someone who feels in touch with their body right now. If you are ready to try something different, to stretch yourself (literally and metaphorically), and find joy in new experiences, you are welcome. 

  • That’s completely natural. But the beauty of this circle is that there’s no judgment, no competition, no pressure. No way of doing it right or wrong. It’s about exploring, not proving. Whether you’re experiencing a ceremony or simply breathing deeply in the fresh air, each experience is designed to help you reconnect with your body and feel empowered by what it can do, without comparing yourself to anyone else. You’ll be guided and supported every step of the way, with options to go as slow or as fast as you need.

  • The goal isn’t just to give you a fun long weekend and send you back into your old life. You’ll leave with a sense of freedom and lightness that will follow you into your daily routines. You’ll be armed with tools to shift your mindset when the weight of the world feels too heavy again, knowing how to access your strength, your playfulness, and your joy when you need them most. And you’ll have a community who’ve experienced this transformation alongside you—who’ll continue to support and cheer you through the Signal group and virtual calls.

  • The pandemic, economic instability, and global uncertainty have left many feeling drained, isolated, and stretched too thin. Burnout rates, especially among people in leadership roles and high-performance environments, are skyrocketing. The world is changing rapidly, and many are questioning their path, craving a return to something more meaningful.

    Those who feel alive and empowered are better able to show up as leaders, caregivers, entrepreneurs, and changemakers. Their energy becomes contagious, inspiring others to step into their own potential. These people become forces for change. They lead companies, communities, and movements with creativity and resilience. By tapping into their own strength and joy, they challenge systems that prioritize burnout and overwork. They pave the way for a world where balance, play, and genuine connection are valued. And as more people step into this power, they shift the collective culture—showing that aliveness, not just productivity, is what the world truly needs to thrive.

Circus arts became my lifeline after devastating losses. When my father died of cancer and my brother took his own life months later, I was drowning in grief while managing a business, motherhood, and marriage. I needed to find something that could keep me from being swallowed by the heaviness of life.

Flying through the air wasn’t just a hobby—it helped me rediscover joy, freedom, and aliveness in ways words alone couldn’t reach. Movement reminded me how to play and how to experience my body as a powerful tool for healing.

Around the same time, I began exploring sacred plant medicine, which helped me break through emotional barriers and access parts of myself access that I hadn’t even realized were locked away.
