The Magic Circle

a living prayer

winter-spring 2027

Hello Friends!

The Magic Circle is the daughter of my first women’s medicine group, called Reverence In Motion, which I held Winter into Spring 2025.

Women gathering in circles?

Ancient, Essential, Magical.

I invite you into the warm embrace of an intimate group of women, to travel through the Winter season together, as we stir our individual and collective prayers for our lives.

What are we letting go of? May it be heard, held and known.

What are we opening up to? May we be supported as we hold open the gates of our hearts and minds to what we really want.

For me personally, this group is significant as this is the final women’s group I’ll be offering in Cali before I move cross country and begin the third major season of my life, after being based in Cali for the past 20 years.

This is going to be an unforgettable and moving experience. I hope you’ll join us!

Join us if…

  • you’re craving being with aligned women in person

  • you want to invite more intentional ritual + practice into your day-to-day

  • you’d benefit from taking off your societally acceptable masks and sitting in a circle of kind and soulful women

  • the idea of deepening with a beautiful and intimate collective of women as you traverse your own waters sounds nourishing

  • you’re okay with being vulnerable in a group or you’d like to grow your capacity to do so

  • you are ready to own or strengthen your role as Creative Director of your own life

  • you’d like to experience a group journey surrounded by people you have built some connection with

  • There really are no words to describe what was created here. Mari was magician of depth, delight and sacred ritual, allowing each of us to feel safe and at the same time supported in discovering new awarenesses about ourselves and our lives. I truly feel different as a person than when I began: more open, embodied and dancing with life, allowing each moment to unfold with more ease and alignment. The regular meetings before the journey let us all get to know each other and also focus on issues like self-care, centering and breath, that became essential grounding touchstones for the journey itself. The collective experience beforehand also made the journey have a a larger healing impact for me, as It felt like we were all holding each other in and benefiting from each other's journeys as well as our own. The fact that we were also able to meet afterward for several sessions to integrate has also given me more and more of a chance to ensure that this 'journey' was more than just a one-time experience, but has had the very real opportunity to change my whole life and way of being in it. If you've been scared to 'journey' or you want more support through the process of self-awareness it offers, Mari's approach will hold you like a kind hug. I highly recommend it!

    miraculous, expansive, transformative

  • I have been a part of many groups and this was one of my favorite in my life thus far. I enjoyed many aspects of it—the time to warm up and get to know each other in a way that led up to a really beautiful medicine journey weekend. That was a new experience for me and I really appreciated it. Mari is a unique and attentive space holder—I can feel all of the communal and group spaces she’s been a part of through how she showed up. All of the details were tended to so that I could easily in. I loved the tea ritual. My body still craves her delicious concoctions! I found it interesting to connect around different aspects of life together and to feel connection that isn’t always about going to the deepest depths. That’s actually good for me as a therapist I tend to go there so easily and part of my growth is in learning to float very send my anchor straight to the bottom. I loved the women in the group everyone brought in a lot of self/ congruent energy and Mari modeled a really beautiful honest and loving way of being with us.

    containing, curious, sacred

  • This experience was so special and I am just so grateful for it. Meeting with the same group consistently allowed us to build relationships and trust, which translated to real care and support during and after the journey. I love that I felt so held and seen. This experience helped me deepen my understanding of myself and to recognize the walls I’ve built up, and what they’ve cost me. I was also able to access and process grief that I had been struggling with. I also want to share that this experience allowed me to feel cared for in ways I haven’t before. Mari has an incredible gift for anticipating needs and desires, and for creating a process that feels truly supportive and intentional.

    deep, transformative, powerful

  • Reverence In Motion 🤍 was a beautiful experience that enriched my season with life, safe warm and loving connection, authentic sharing, and an opportunity for deep healing. The structure of the group with its cadence of meetings offered a consistent but manageable schedule that was such a meaningful touch point in my life. Deep and beautiful relationships were formed amongst the participants.. Mari as the facilitator is so skillful. She structured this group, with so much intention and mindfulness-- as she evidently approaches many aspects of her life and offerings. I felt deeply taken care of by her. I looked so forward to our meetings, and knowing I would have the opportunity to be nurtured in a beautiful space, and have an opportunity to connect from the heart. Each week offered a deepening set of reflections and meditations on how we bring mindfulness and reverence to every day moments of our lives. We reflected on our human footsteps, our relationship to ourselves, each other, and the planet. We supported each other tthrough transitional moments, laughter and tears, and it truly felt like a walk of reverance for this gorgeous, although painful world. I would do it all over again! And intend to in any form I can. If you feel called to be a part of this circle, you'll thank yourself for joining it. Mari, and the spaces she creates, are truly a gift.

The Details

  • 3 months of consistent connection with an intimate group

  • 2-Hour in person gathering every other Sunday evening (4 times pre ceremony weekend, 3 times after)

  • Book club element

  • CEREMONY IMMERSION WEEKEND

    • Friday eve Infinite Crescendo Breathwork

    • Saturday Medicine Journey

    • Sunday morn Cacao Integration

  • Whatsapp group for ongoing connection, inspiration + support

  • $2,200 (paid in full at beginning or in 2 installments)

In a time of unlimited online programs and cohorts, and in an era of so much loneliness and isolation, I’m inspired to design an experience for a group of women that is almost entirely in-person, and guide us through a journey of cultivating magic and aliveness in our lives as we move through a full season together.

There is so much talk these days about community + connection. (yup, I’m one of those people talking!) … but one thing I think isn’t named frequently enough is consistency. This group will be an opportunity to meet with the same small group of women (7 including me!) over a 3 month period, deepen our comfort and safety with one another, share inspirations and insights, and grow together. This is not going to be an informational course, rather a gently guided journey through bringing our attention and focus to different areas of our life, inviting our creativity, and INVOKING the sacred in the mundane.

What IS the container?

For 3 months, we’ll gather in my living room every 2 weeks for a Sunday session. Together we will explore the area of focus that we will bring care and attention to for the 2 weeks to follow. Our areas of focus will be emergent based on what our unique collective is feeling drawn to. The Sunday Sessions will have a ceremonial tone, inviting somatic presence, emotional warmth, compassionate listening, as well as room to just organically exist together because being together is just good for the soul.

After 2 months of bi-weekly Sessions, we’ll spend a full weekend together for a deeper dive. A Friday evening of grounding into the space, an extended breathwork session and ceremony prep. A full day Saturday of mushroom medicine followed by a nourishing meal together. Sunday morning cacao integration.

Group medicine spaces can be sooo magical and potent- yet usually when attending group ceremonies you’re journeying with a bunch of people you’ve never met before and may or may not ever see again. We will have cultivated a sense of familiarity with one another, so by the time ceremony time comes, you’ll be able to feel the co-created group field we cultivated over time, and we will continue to gather post journey.

Although most of our connection will be in person, there will be a whatsapp group for ongoing sharing and reflections in between our circles.
