Over the past couple of years I have been on a journey of letting go. I’ve been burning off layers of myself I never knew were there. I’ve let go of old stories that kept me small, I’ve let go of patterns I inherited from my mom (the over-giving, taking on too much, never saying NO type of patterns), I’ve let go of people who were tearing me down, and relationships that were hurting my heart.  Recently I let go of a business and a studio space I built from scratch. I’ve let go because I feel like something else is calling me forward. Something big, yet I don’t quite know what it is.

I’m in the place between what once was and what will become. The place between stories. The old chapter has come to a close yet the new chapter hasn’t begun. It’s the messy middle, the hazy grey area, the gap you step into after letting go of something big and stepping more into who you are meant to be. It’s like when the caterpillar turns into a messy goo inside her cocoon before transforming into her butterfly self. Before her metamorphosis.

That’s me right now. I’m that messy goo.

What’s so scary about standing in this hazy space is that I can’t fully see what lies ahead. I feel like I’m on a dark path holding up a lantern, but I can only see one step in front of me. I don’t know where I’m going, but I know I need to keep following this path. I know I’ll be okay if I keep taking each baby step forward, and if I don’t let go of my light.

And while it’s terrifying to step out into the unknown, what I am learning is that it is equally as beautiful. This space, this gap, is the place where all things are possible.

Old patterns and structures are being laid down so I can move forward into a new version of myself. When I look up I can see so many ways to go. There is a fluttering in my belly, telling me that excitement and adventure is on the horizon. I can become the woman I dream to be. All things are possible.

Because I’m on this journey right now, because I’m on this expedition of letting go and becoming, and because I know we are not meant to do the big things in life alone, I want to invite you to join me on something I’ve never done before. It’s called Metamorphosis.

Two 4-Day Retreats
Together we will escape from the busyness of our daily lives, get quiet, and sink into nature so we can get clear. It often takes breaking out of everyday patterns to make true change. We will stay in a luxurious private estate in the foothills of Mt. Diablo in the San Francisco Bay Area. We will be nourished by a private chef and wake up to the singing of birds and quiet air. We will explore through movement, conversations, ritual, writing, and silence. Here we will have time to connect with ourselves and deepen our sisterhood. Our first retreat is in October 2019, where we begin to move into the dark months, and where we will begin to cocoon and reflect for the winter. We will meet again at the onset of spring, in April 2020, where will be ready to let go and step into the light.

Group Coaching
Each month you will have a dedicated 60-minute small group coaching session with three other women offered virtually. Here you will get to go deep. This is an opportunity to witness your sisters at home, in a comfortable setting, where we are mostly ourselves. We will explore what you want to let go of and and what you want to pursue. We will talk about everything: love, relationships, business, and health. Nothing is off the table. You get to choose where you want to go.

Soul Sister Circles
Bi-weekly we will meet virtually as a group to continue deepening into ourselves and each other. This is where we will take the teachings of The Practice and our journey to the next level. I (Michelle) will guide us in ways where we feel comfortable to share our fears and allow insight and support from the group to heal us along our journey.
