Following the calling of my soul and a deep desire to have a more wild, intimate relationship to the natural world, I moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains in Western NC (home to countless witches!) in September and have never felt more alive! I am returning to Austin in Jan./Feb. for eight weeks and am feeling deeply called during this time to serve powerful women–like you. All of you are birthing and growing new projects, business ideas, creative ventures and new ways of being. I would love to serve and support you, your work AND play withe the alchemy of this powerful group. It is pure joy for me to help other women shine, align and expand. We would begin the Coven Jan. 8th –the day after my 55th birthday–and run through the end of Feb.
Recently while driving through the Smoky Mountains early one morning I had a visitation from my soul who reminded me: I’m here to be a lightning bolt, a catalyst and disruptor and to lovingly challenge others to unleash their power and align with their highest vibration.
More and more I talk to sister entrepreneurs who describe themselves as witches: women who use their unique, magical powers to help their brothers and sisters, who move through time and space very differently from others and who believe there is a spiritual solution to every dilemma.
I believe when we learn to be FULLY ourselves (in all situations), we begin to truly access our power … then, we can allow this current to run through us like a contained electrical impulse or a rushing river (how our energy moves is unique to each of us). Then, we feel safe to unleash and share it with the world.
When we gather with other “witches” we can create a potent energy grid which allows us to go deeper within ourselves while unearthing our wildness and magical gifts. A Coven—a closed circle of “witches– is a sacred space that supports us in doing this individually and collectively. I am giddy to see what might happen when you are all together!!
I have thoughtfully hand-picked this group and am hoping you will be able to join me for this journey. Supporting and holding space for all of you will be my primary focus for these 8 weeks. Additionally, you all may decide to continue meeting after I return to NC. (I just finished a 3-year Mastermind Group that I initiated/guided and the experience was absolutely essential to my growth and success over this period.) This group of women is AMAZINGLY mystical and insanely talented and gifted; I expect you will experience profound results.
Where I am right now:
I want to live a wild life. Every day, I want to fully embody magic, synchronicity, aliveness, creativity, beauty and pleasure, adventure, juiciness, wild abundance, nature as teacher and lover, dance/song as catalysts and healers. How do you want to live?
Themes I’m exploring in my own life that I’d like to weave in to our experience:
“An intolerable longing to be fully myself.” What does it mean for you to be 100% you in all situations?
Awakening your feminine power and learning to harness and contain it.
Living life as “spider woman”: using magic/mysticism/connection/intuition and synchronicity in your work.
Challenging the status quo/norm and conventional life—staying “awake and alive” in everyday life.
Living the “Goddess Life” (naming what that means for you) and finding/staying in the sweet spot around work/play.
TRUTH: owning our power through finding and using our voices.
Abundance/prosperity as Shakti energy—creating it, growing it and sustaining it.
Cultivating your desired state of being … it’s everything (and at the root of self-care).
During our meetings, you’ll have time alone/dyad and small group work, powerful group work, time in nature.
The structure I have created will be open and flowing. We’ll start always with a silent meditation. I find when I keep the format simple, this creates breathing room for magic and depth.
I’ve been actively mentoring and coaching entrepreneurs/women leaders for 20+ years and group work is my secret power.
We’ll be meeting at Renee’s house in south Austin in a large open, private room. Fireplace, hot tea and of course, chocolate will be present.
I will be available at various times during the meetings for consulting, coaching, mentoring and referral/recommendation and resource sharing–whatever you need to support your business/work.
Cost: $499 early bird rate (in the past this program was $799; I am discounting it $300 due to the times). My hourly coaching rate is typically $350. Program also includes private Renee nature-based events to cultivate your feminine energy (such as labyrinth walks, full moon adventures, group singing).
Dates: (times 1:30-3:30 CT; meeting at Renee’s home in South Austin): Jan. 8th, Jan. 22, Feb. 5, Feb. 12th and Feb. 19th. If you need to miss a meetings, that is ok; the grid will remain intact! If it flows, we fit one more formal meeting in there, too.
Kind words about Renee:“There are many reasons I regularly attend Renee’s events–whether it’s a 2 hour experience or a weekend retreat. In addition to the life-affirming programs she creates, one draw that keeps me coming back is the other attendees! Renee has the unique gift of calling in the most creative, soulful, generous, inspiring people of all ages into her community –wow! Eve, entrepreneur/mom {Read more testimonials}.
Refund Policy: There are no refund due to the short registration window and small size of the group; it’s ok if you have to miss one meeting.
COVID-19 Precautions: Please call me directly at 512-569-5213 with concerns/requests. It’s essential that all feel comfortable. We will have an entire downstairs area to spread out (very roomy), we’ll be outside whenever we can and I will be doing some energy practices to keep the space/you high vibration and protected. We will be able to social distance; mask-wearing is optional but if you choose to wear a mask-no shame! I’ll also send out an email as we get closer with guidelines.
