An Invitation
Taking the space to pause and reflect has helped me cultivate a contemplative heart centered approach to my life. In contemplation, I have been able to see more clearly my need and desire to grow in greater authenticity, connection, and purpose. I have been, and continue to be, able to find emotional healing, dismantle limiting beliefs and agreements, authentically relate to others, and reimagine my vision for the future.
I’d like to invite you to Pause and Reflect – to contemplatively read the Reflections, to consider the agreements, and to explore the practices. Reach out if you would like support individually, or if you have interest in the support of a circle of peers.
