ASCEND 

A virtual inclusive women’s circle

Are you a business owner craving deep soul connection?

Do you long to experience the healing power of intentional community?

Do you believe that spirituality and personal growth are the anchor to your relationships and business and yearn to journey with like-minded humans?

Welcome to ASCEND.

Authentic Soul Community, Expression, Nourishment, and Divine connection

A welcoming, inclusive community of soul-led women business owners building a Soul Sisterhood.

Now, more than ever, we need community. Community that is here for you in all your intersecting identities, community that cares how you’re REALLY doing, community that is here to celebrate, liberate, and remind you of why you’re still here, working to create a world you believe in.

If you’re anything like me, the superficial chit-chat at the bus stop or grocery store line doesn’t quite cut it.

You want someone to ask you - how are you, REALLY? And be able to give them the honest truth without them turning on their heels and quickly finding something - anything - else to do.

You want to be able to talk about the latest mindfulness practice you’ve adopted and not be looked at like you have three horns sprouting from your skull.

You want to be able to discuss how your childhood patterns are affecting your business relationships, or how the Goddess Brigid came to you in a dream and inspired your latest offer, or how you’re healing your connection with your emotions and being seen, accepted, understood.

And most of all, you want to deepen your connection to yourself and your intuition and your innate creative wholeness because you know they’re the driving factors behind a business that not only feeds your soul but can help heal this fractured world. You crave a supportive community in which to develop and enhance your skills and cheerlead your efforts.

In short, you’re looking for your people.

But where?

Enter: Circle

Circle helps us learn to feel safe in expressing authentically, in showing up more freely and fully. When we have a felt sense of sharing in a safe container, it becomes immensely easier to bring our message into the world, thereby supporting not only personal, but professional growth.

Safe, sacred community provides a wellspring of comfort, balm and inspiration for the soul and the weary mind-body that carries us through this ever-quickening culture. Just as these rocks support each other in becoming a new creation, so can a community uplift its members into becoming more whole versions of themselves.

ASCEND Women's Circle is an invitation to step into deeper wholeness, connection, and community through archetypes of the Divine Feminine.

Each month we’ll work with a Goddess or other Divine Feminine figure as an archetype. We’ll explore her story and messages and work to embody her lessons into our personal and professional lives through meditation, visualization, questions/prompts, creation, movement and sharing.

Each gathering will be a bit different, but it will look like something like:

  • centering/grounding meditation

  • opening check in

  • learning about and working with the Divine Feminine figure that was intuitively drawn for the month

  • check in around the experience

  • deepening activity to further embody or anchor in Her wisdom

  • final check in

Sharing will be done either in the full circle or in breakout rooms depending on attendance and flow, so that everyone has the opportunity for deep connection and witnessing. There is no obligation to share.

“Listening, witnessing, role modeling, reacting, deepening, mirroring, laughing, crying, grieving, drawing upon experience, and sharing the wisdom of experience, women in circles support each other and discover themselves…”

- Jean Shinoda Bolen

Who is facilitating?

I’m Angela (she/her)

I have been gathering and facilitating circles in one form or another throughout my life, beginning in 4th grade when I brought together a group of girls as a club. What we did, I have no recollection, but we met weekly, spoke honestly, collected dues, and felt belonging.

Fast forward decades, and I still crave and create intentional womxn’s communities, from book groups to workshops, from my family of daughters to my client base, from my partnership to dinner parties.

I’m a certified life coach and lifelong mystic and student of spirituality and personal development, as well as a practitioner of yoga and reiki and other energy modalities, multi-disciplinary artist, and intuitive, and have learned through experience as a circle and retreat participant from other whole leaders.

I’m also a brand and website designer who believes that impactful, resonant personal brands start with authentic clarity and self-expression.

But you, too, are a leader here.

In circle we co-create, each bringing our own energy to the space to create a living reflection of what it means to be human, to be woman in all her most glorious and expanded forms, to be whole.

You are an example of what is possible and can shine a light for someone else, as they can shine for you.

So together, we will show up, leading ourselves and holding space for each other to continue our becoming.

  • " You have a natural gift of channeling these energy shifts and I am grateful and blessed to be in your presence when that magic happens.

    Thank you for such a beautiful vehicle through which to explore creative visualization for the upcoming year. Your gentle invitation was just the perfect wedge to get unstuck and allow some latent creativity to flow in unexpected ways in preparation for the solstice.”

    ~ With awe and appreciation, Deborah

  • “Angela has taught me to recognize what my body tells me, and that your body, mind and soul are forever connected to your voice.

    One of the things I’ll always remember, is our first time meeting she said, “We’re gonna find your voice”. I thought that was such an amazing and loaded statement, because I truly have found my voice, not only what others can hear or what I can hear, but spiritually and emotionally. The voice is so much more than just singing. Singing is so much more than just sound, it’s emotion and if you aren’t connected with yourself it’s never going to be authentic. ”

    ~ CR, School Counselor & personal trainer

  • “ I definitely recommend working with Angela. She takes a holistic approach, creates a safe environment for sharing, and meets her students where they are.

    She will push you to explore outside of your comfort zone so that you can grow. She also helps you to explore where your limits are. This applies to all aspects of her teaching. For me, the most transformative part of the SoulSinging experience was acknowledging the true me: that part of me that is strong and confident that I shove into a corner. Giving myself permission to acknowledge her and her needs was a breakthrough. It is fun to work with someone who sees the place for science, soul, technique, emotion, spiritual, physical, and emotional impacts and how they connect with each other. That connection is what lets us find and use our true voice! ”

    ~ JS, Science teacher

  • "Very helpful and insightful!

    During the Artist’s Way class, Angela noticed things about me and explained them in a way that I could understand.”

    ~ Victoria

  • “Thank you Angela for all that you did to lead a wonderful class!”

    Working with Angela was so inspiring! Each week I learned to delve a little more deeply into the blocks that are stopping me from living a creative life of my choosing. I feel as if I am now in a place that is open to all possibilities and that nagging censor has calmed its voice.”

    ~ MU

  • “Angela does it all with lightness, humour, a gentle touch and heaps of love.”

    You know how sometimes you know exactly what you need to do, but you’re Just. NOT. Doing it? Or you know that the lack you’re feeling is self-imposed in some way? Angela shone a gentle light on those places. I felt I could give myself permission to acknowledge my needs, and tend to them. I cleared space in my life for more of what I wanted – more joy, more self-care, more play and at the end of the day, just more space period. And that opened the door to abundance.”

    ~ NP

  • "Angela's nurturing soul and infinite wisdom have helped me find my true voice.

    She led me through various meditations, mind/body and writing exercises.  I am now less burdened by the issues and experiences we explored together, and should any negative feelings or thoughts arise, I now have the tools to honor them, learn from them and work through them. Angela is a true blessing in my life, and I am so happy that she will be sharing her many gifts with others.”
