This membership is for those who long to come home– to your body and your heart.
This isn’t another self-improvement course. It’s a gentle, ongoing journey of reconnecting to your true self. A space where you’re invited to slow down, feel, and trust the quiet wisdom within you.
Instead of staying stuck in your head—constantly analyzing, learning, or trying to “fix” yourself—this space helps you become present, accept what is, and reconnect with your body. You’ll learn to listen to your emotions, trust your intuition, and let your inner guidance lead the way.
How the membership works
Each month, we dive deep into a different topic, offering you practical tools and practices to fully experience and embody it—beyond just thinking about it.
You’ll have access to live workshops, guided meditations, embodiment practices and sharing circles—all designed to help you connect with your body, feel your emotions, and take aligned action.
This is not another course overloaded with information. It’s about getting into your body, practicing, and truly living the transformation. Plus, you’ll be supported by a community of like-hearted souls walking this path with you.
Take a look at the details of each month to see what awaits you.
Coming Up in May & June
TRUST
In May, we strengthen your trust in yourself.
In June, we open your trust to life itself.
First the inner anchor, then the outer expansion.
It’s about healing the places where trust was broken, and gently expanding your capacity to be held — by yourself and by life, universe, God.
MAY
TRUST YOURSELF
There have been moments in life when you abandoned yourself: when you didn’t have the capacity to show up for what you truly wanted, to speak up for yourself, to set boundaries, or to decide based on your needs. Even if you know, rationally, that things will eventually be fine, a part of you still doesn’t trust that—you don’t trust that you’ll have your own back, no matter what.
When you can fully rely on yourself, you walk through life differently: You can loosen the tight grip on needing to have everything figured out right now because you know you’ve got yourself, and you can adjust as needed along the way.
In May, the membership will support you in building a stronger foundation within—not through rational reasoning about why you should trust, but by creating deeper somatic safety and nurturing the part of you where your trust in yourself has been broken.
This foundation allows you to surrender powerfully to the guidance of your heart, instead of collapsing into it or ignoring it out of fear that you won’t follow through.

JUNE
TRUST LIFE
There was a moment — or many — when you got hurt.
When you listened to your heart… and it didn’t turn out the way you hoped.
When you prayed… and didn’t get an answer.
When you took the leap… and landed hard.
And so you learned:
- “If I don’t do it, nothing happens.”
- “If I trust too much, I get disappointed.”
- “Better to stay in control.”
These beliefs were created out of self-protection.
The part of you that tries to manage it all, hold all the pieces together, is valid.
It has kept you safe until now.
AND — it’s exhausting.
You are longing to be led.
You are longing to co-create.
You want your life to flow again — not through force, but through a deeper intelligence.
But the part that controls just won’t let you — not fully, not for long.
This month, we’ll tend to the part of you that is afraid to let go —
not by forcing trust, but by meeting this part with compassion and practicing new ways of letting Life in.
Step by step, it will become easier to loosen the tight grip.
Easier to let your heart, the Universe, God — lead and support

FEBRUARY
Nourish
How would your life look in one month if you dedicated the entire month to nourishing yourself and filling up your own cup?
Nourishing your body and soul is often the first thing to drop when life gets busy, even though you may know it’s what you need most.
Let’s dedicate this month together to your ultimate nourishment—so your cup overflows, allowing you to give from a place of abundance while becoming even clearer on your needs.
Dates of our sessions (live via Zoom, including replay)
Workshop 1: Wednesday, February 5th at 19:00
Workshop 2: Wednesday, February 19th at 19:00
All times are in UTC. The recording will be available for you the day after in the Membership Home.
MARCH
Your Truth
A month dedicated to becoming more aware of your truth and uncovering ways you're hiding or holding it back.
Truth can be felt in the body and if you start paying attention to it, there are endless ways your truth shows up throughout your day.
You'll receive tools and practices to become clearer on your truth in your daily life while also looking at ways how you can EMBODY your truth more.
Dates of our sessions (live via Zoom, including replay)
Workshop: Wednesday, March 5th at 19:00
A Circle to Share and Practice: Date will be chosen by the members
APRIL
Surrendered Action
Surrendered action combines the feminine energy of receiving and nourishing with the masculine energy of doing and taking action. It’s about co-creating with your heart and the universe rather than forcing things into existence on your own.
You’ll learn practical steps to transform empty actions into surrendered actions, without falling into passivity.
This month alone can bring so much magic into your daily life, and February (Nourish) and March (Your Truth) will prepare you perfectly for April’s focus on surrendered action.

Feel into this ...
Your heart is bursting with love.
You’re not holding yourself back and you simply are
– imperfect, moody, joyful, a little anxious.
It’s all welcome.
You don’t need to push it away any longer
because you feel deep down that it is ok
that you are ok – just as you are.
You’re no longer trying to become a better version of yourself
in order to then be happy and fulfilled
but you are present, right here and right now, in your body.
You feel the ebbs and flows of your energy,
you honor it and see the beauty in it
– just like the waves of the ocean.
You don’t try to be someone else
or follow what everyone else is doing.
All that matters is the drum of your heart
the whispers of your intuition
that guide you, deeply, calmly and yet so clear.
Your pace is slow, nothing to miss out on
because you KNOW that as long as you follow this guidance
you’re going to be led to the most magical and beautiful experiences
Life has to offer
and experience exactly
what your soul came here for.
