🌹 The Rose Circle 🌹
While I was in Portugal, something unexpected happened.
I slowed down.
Not because I had to.
Because I wanted to.
And in that slowing down, I noticed things I often rush past.
The way conversations deepen when nobody is in a hurry.
The way wisdom appears around a shared table.
The way people begin to open when they feel seen, heard, and welcomed exactly as they are.
When I returned home, I realized this was one of the gifts Portugal had given me.
Not a lesson.
Not a grand revelation.
A remembering.
For nearly two decades, I have had the privilege of sitting with women through fertility journeys, heartbreak, grief, motherhood, reinvention, healing, growth, and all of the beautifully messy chapters in between.
Again and again, I am reminded that women carry extraordinary wisdom within them.
And lately, I’ve been wondering what might happen if we created more space for those conversations outside of the treatment room.
A place to gather.
A place to share stories, explore meaningful themes, learn from one another, and reconnect with the parts of ourselves that can get lost while we’re busy caring for everyone else.
This summer, I’ll be opening a small founding Rose Circle — a three-month gathering for women who feel called toward deeper conversations, genuine connection, beauty, pleasure, and living a little more awake to their own lives.
More details coming soon.
If your heart gives a little nudge while reading this, send me a 🌹.
