This is a group about potentiating and living from our Desire or Life Force. It's for people who are aching to show up Bigger, to ignite and stoke the Inner Fire, to become more fully alive and impactful in the world.

We’re not here to soft-peddle some half-ascetic version of The Middle Way. We're here to let o …

As many have done before us, we can wake-up to this reality and realize the truth about ourselves …

"Coming together in Sisterhood is a spiritual practice, not a religion or a political strategy. Leave those things behind, at least for a time, and step into a primal relationship; one that has existed long before any religious doctrine or party line. Women in a circle; teaching each other, learning from each other, challenging each other, supporting each other, laughing, crying, telling their stories... These things are as old as time and Sacred beyond measure. These things create the springboa …
