Holding all of it gently…
I turned 60 last week!…
And… I enjoyed celebrating with friends and family at the Oregon Coast - one of my favorite places.
When friends asked how I felt about turning 60, my response was typically,
“Way better than I felt about turning 50! I’m here for all of it.”
And that feels true.
I am here for all of it…
and I am holding all of it gently….
The joy and the tenderness, the gratitude and the ache.
I’m holding this season, and the life that brought me here, with a little more spaciousness, grace, and presence.
From this place of presence, I’m looking more closely at my story and I see most of all, a story of love: love that undergirds, supports, and quietly weaves through every chapter.
For years, I understood my story mainly through wounding: the hurt, losses, transitions, and struggles. Through intentional heart-connection practices and Mapping My Story work with my colleague Larey Swanson, I see something more now. Healing and Love are there… sometimes obvious, sometimes barely visible, always present.
Revised Embrace & Empower Circle
From this heart-centered Mapping My Story work, we’ve created a 9-week experiential Circle that invites you to explore The Story of You. Through embodied practices, psychospiritual reflection, and narrative healing, we create space to recognize the patterns that have shaped you, honor what has grown you, and gently re-author your story with greater coherence, compassion, and authentic alignment. This is a space to understand where you’ve been, where you are now, and where your soul may be calling you next.
If this speaks to you, we would love for you to join us.
Details and registration can be located here.
A moment to pause together
As I close, I want to acknowledge the broader landscape we are living in right now. Many of us feel unsettled by fear, anger, grief, and uncertainty stirred by recent events in Minneapolis, and elsewhere. Even when unspoken, our bodies feel it.
If you desire a space to pause, breathe, and recenter, our Pause. Breathe. Recenter. sessions are continuing weekly on Wednesday mornings from 9:00 - 9:30 AM Central Time. We would love to have you join. If you’re interested, reach out and I’ll send you the Zoom link.
With love, warmth and gratitude,
Jennifer
