Our Mother's Leadership. Rooted & Rising October 19 Ivy Moon - Resilience, Determination+ Transformation

Feeling stressed, not yourself and wondering if what you’re experiencing is connected to how you’re showing up, the cultural narrative on how you’re ‘supposed to be’ and if there’s something bigger going on?

You’re not alone. And let’s be honest—your symptoms, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, aren’t happening in a vacuum.

The world’s on fire, and it’s taking a toll.

But there’s a way through— and your symptoms, your wisdom of your body, your senses, the earth beneath you, and what life has already taught you is pointing the way.

If you're tired of pretense, trying to self-soothe and hiding under the covers as a strategy, it’s time for something more honest, more connected, and a hell of a lot more effective.

Join me for honest conversation, real tools, and a much bigger context for understanding your symptoms—and your power.

This is an intimate, powerful container (limited seating for up to 9 women 🌙) for those who are ready to stop pathologizing stress and instead, use it as a portal to presence, clarity, and power.

For women who'd like to see their ongoing stress or chronic dis-ease patterns in a new light and take action in your healing that’s based on Mother’s wisdom, the art and science of Chinese medicine blended with Celtic guidance so we flourish together.

We’ll meet monthly for transformational conversations, sensory nature walks, guided healing practices, and rituals rooted in the Wisdom Within Method, drawing from Chinese Five Element and Celtic seasonal wisdom. You’ll explore your own symptoms as signals, not problems, and walk away each month with insight, embodiment, and ready to take action or redirect your current focus.

  • A 3-hour in-person session with group reflection & conversation

  • In or outdoor sensory experiences

  • Learning an embodied practice (Zhineng Qigong),

  • Healing session - hun yuan qi therapy or acupuncture session

  • Seasonal guidance through the 5 Elements

  • Connection and flourish with a small group of curious, kind women of all ages ready to shift how they lead, heal, and live.

Q & A:

Ultimately this is a gut decision - which is not often a loud yes, but a quiet whisper (we’ll be learning how to hone and trust this over our months together if you sign up for more than one session). 

Q: I’ve taken classes with you previously, how is this different?

Every program I offer is different. I’m constantly renewing what and how I learn and teach. That’s how Chinese medicine, Zhineng qigong methodologies are - the experiences go deeper the more you study and practice.

Q: I can’t attend each month, should I still register?

Each month is it’s own powerful workshop, and can be purchased individually or in it’s entirety. The more you attend, the deeper the practices go.

Q: What exactly will we be doing during the 3-hour monthly sessions?

Some of it, like life itself, I’m leaving to the energetics of the women gathering each the time we meet. This is where the magic is.

Each participant is attending for different reasons, and yet there is a theme emerging amongst the group! 

  • We’ll sit for a conversation for curiosity, set a bold intention, learn about the energetics of the season we’re in, i.e. the new moon approaching, the therapeutic gifts of the season. 

  • Take a sensory walk (weather and body dependent) to open your senses which is critical to begin to trust the wisdom of your symptoms as wise guides. 

  • Practice Zhineng qigong which is about moving and changing the information on something you’re feeling stuck around. You feel and begin to build trust with the potency of your ability to transform the issue that brought you to Our Mother’s Leadership. 

  • We end with energy healing such as acupuncture and/or Hun Yuan Qi Therapy, a form of moving qi, with life-changing effects (not kidding).

  • Option to upgrade with an extra healing session, too.

You’ll leave each session with expanded capacity, reduced stress and with tools to enhance your leadership and well-being immediately. From Zhineng Qigong to seasonal rituals, these sessions are designed to help you realign with your power, purpose, and community.

Q: What if I have an injury and I can't move well?

The movement aspect is walking or gentle Zhineng qigong movements and there are always ways to adapt and participate at your level. I’ve got you!

Q. How does this program address personal, health  transformation and leadership?
This program isn’t just about self-discovery. It’s deeply rooted in helping you apply what you learn to your life and leadership roles. By weaving in ancient wisdom, Chinese medicine, and practical skills, you’ll be supported in making tangible shifts that will enhance your wellbeing, relationships, and areas in your life that matter to you. And, this isn’t about you, it’s about how you shift, also ripples into the areas of life that matter most to you.

Q. How will this program support me in a busy, demanding life?
I know it’s hard to juggle everything. That’s why this program is on a Sunday - intentionally set to help you deeply relax and get present for the day and the coming weeks. It’s designed to be sustainable, with each month’s theme building over time. We’ll be diving into deep reflection and action steps that integrate easily into your daily life, so you never feel behind or pressured. Plus, you’ll have the support of a community of like-minded, kind and curious women who understand what you're navigating.

Q: I'm super tired, exhausted and/or peri/menopausal. 

Each class will be very intentional for increasing your capacity - so if you’re exhausted, you may need less naps and more letting go. Also, the qigong practices will be energizing, grounding, deep and rich. The outside activities will uplift you. Sometimes it’s the right kind of sensory input that makes all the difference.

✨ If a monthly container sounds like something your body and spirit has been craving, a deeper dive to ground your symptoms, let’s talk.
