The Coming Home Circle
A gentle monthly practice space for returning to your body with kindness
A Quiet Beginning
The Coming Home Circle is a monthly space of guided meditation, music, and live gathering for those longing for a softer, more trusting relationship with their body.
You may be here because your body feels uncomfortable, confusing, or hard to be with right now.
Because you’re tired of being at odds with yourself, of trying to manage, monitor, or override what your body is doing.
For some, this shows up as a sense of distance, tension, or mistrust inside.
For others, it’s shaped by pain, illness, or learning how to live in a changed body.
For others, it appears around food or body image.
This is not a course to complete or a program to master.
It’s a place to return—slowly, honestly, as you are.
You don’t need to feel ready.
You don’t need to feel calm.
You’re invited to begin exactly where you are.
A Different Kind of Practice Space
Each month, the circle gathers around a single theme held gently through:
A guided meditation offered with choice, pauses, and spaciousness
A song written from the same place as the practice, paired with quiet nature imagery
A live online gathering for shared presence, reflection, and open questions
Each gathering is approximately 75 minutes and is recorded, so you can practice in your own time if attending live doesn’t feel supportive.
This is a space to practice alongside others—not to perform or share more than you wish.
You’re welcome to speak, listen, or simply be present.
Participation is always optional and self-paced.
There is no expectation to attend live or engage with everything.
There is no right way to be here.
Who This Circle Is For
This circle may be for you if:
You want to reconnect with your body without pressure or expectation
You’ve felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to listen inward
Meditation or group spaces have felt too activating or demanding
You’re navigating change, healing, illness, or emotional fatigue
You’re longing for steadiness, gentleness, and permission to go slowly
You don’t need prior experience.
You don’t need to be “good” at meditation.
You don’t need to know how to explain what you’re feeling.
If something in you is quietly saying yes—that’s enough.
Beginning Where You Are
The opening month of the circle is called Beginning Where You Are.
It offers a simple but radical practice:
meeting what is already here with kindness.
Rather than asking you to arrive calm, focused, or healed, this beginning honors whatever you are feeling wheter that is tired, uncertain, tender, numb, steady or something else.
Nothing needs to change for you to belong.
Joining the Circle
The Coming Home Circle will open when the group is ready to be held with care.
If this resonates, you’re welcome to add your name to the invitation list.
You’ll receive a quiet, personal invitation when the circle opens with details about timing, investment, and how to join, and space to feel into whether it’s right for you.
There’s no obligation.
You can decide then.
Why This Circle Exists
I created the Coming Home Circle because I know how many people are carrying a quiet longing to feel at ease in their bodies again without being asked to push, process, or perform their healing. In my own life, and in years of guiding others, I’ve seen how much care it takes to rebuild trust with the body, especially after illness, trauma, or long periods of disconnection. This circle exists to offer something slower and more human: a steady place to return, month by month, where presence matters more than progress, and where your body is met with kindness rather than expectation.
With compassion,
