Upcoming Events: Fall 2025
🌿 The Inner Alchemy of Wisdom
An Invitation to the Freedom Beyond Loss, Transition, and Reawakening
Wednesdays 11-12:30pm Mountain Time from August 27 – December 3, 2025* (with two breaks, one October 8th and the other Thanksgiving week)
This 13-week journey invites us to explore how modern poets and mystics grapple with one of the most essential human questions: How do we live with the reality of suffering and remain open to love, wonder, and transformation?
Drawing inspiration from the Wisdom books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job, we will trace how these ancient texts have been reimagined in the writings of mystics such as Meister Eckhart, Hildegard of Bingen, Julian of Norwich, Neil Douglas-Klotz, and Cynthia Bourgeault. Alongside them, we will journey with poets and teachers including Mary Oliver, T.S. Eliot, George Herbert and Thich Nhat Hanh—voices who have illuminated the path from sorrow to spaciousness.
Through readings, contemplative practices and creative reflection, this journey offers a space to engage not only with ideas about wisdom but deepen our experience of living within the heart of wisdom itself.
🌿 Two Ways to Engage
I’ve created two different ways for people to participate, according to their interests and contexts. The Core Circle is for those ready to fully engage in community with others in a small group weekly gathering. The Companion Circle is for those who prefer a spacious, self-paced experience with four live sessions spread throughout the series rather than a weekly gathering commitment.

13 weekly live sessions in a small circle

🌿 Frequently Asked Questions
✨ Do I have to attend every live session?
No. While regular participation helps create connection, all sessions will be recorded and shared afterward. You are welcome to engage in the way that feels right for you.
✨ What if I can’t decide between the Core and Companion Circles?
If you’re unsure, consider:
Do I feel nourished by live community connection with a small group?
Am I able to commit to most of the weekly gatherings?
Do I want to share and be witnessed?
If so, the Core Circle is likely the best fit. If you prefer a more spacious, self-paced approach, the Companion Circle is ideal. You are also welcome to check with me if you’re still unsure which is best for you at this time.
✨ What is the Soul Coaching session?
A private 60-minute session with me to explore whatever feels most alive for you—whether personal integration, spiritual reflection, or support around suffering and transformation. These sessions can be scheduled anytime during the program as our mutual calendars allow.
✨ What if the Core Circle fills?
Enrollment is limited to 6 in person seats and 6 online (with flexibility to include 1–2 more online or shift some in person spots to online as needed). If the Core Circle is full, you are welcome to join the Companion Circle or be added to the waiting list.
✨ How do I pay and what payment options are there?
Payment links are provided below to pay in full or spread into 5 monthly installments. Your first payment secures your place.
✨ What if I need additional financial flexibility?
I trust you to discern what is sustainable and meaningful for you. If the suggested contributions present a barrier, please reach out. Partial scholarships or custom payment arrangements may be available.
✨ When will I be able to access the material prior to the August start date?
The zoom link and access to the platform we’ll be using for the series will be provided about a week prior to our start dates.
🌿 An Invitation and Next Steps
I am so excited about this possibility. I recently guided a retreat, with my wonderful colleague and friend, Ian. We were surprised at just how beautifully it worked to have a small in person group journey together with a small on line group. It is my joy to be a catalyst for helping people discover an unshakeable joy and expansive love, even in life’s hardest seasons, and to create spaces for deep seeing, healing and transformation so that we may awake to our truest self and live from a deeper love.
Questions? Need flexibility? I’d love to hear from you. And if you know of others who might be interested, please feel free to share.
I hope you’ll join us.
with love, Elizabeth
