Evening Gathering
Evening gatherings are a sacred call to infuse intentionality, deep presence, and JOY into the exquisite journey of being human!
These 90 minute virtual evening programs infuse the gift of spaciousness, reflection, and thoughtful connection for our soul's wisdom to emerge.

Each gathering includes a theme. Below are possibilities:
Sacred Identity
The past few years have been ones of recreating reality. We have each been called into our deepest values in new ways. Together we will explore how our values have evolved. With sacred intentionality, we will create a soul-covenant.
Sacred Divine Connection
Deepening our own understanding of the Mystery/Oneness/Spirit, we explore the Divine as sustaining nourishment. How can our Divine connection both ground and inspire us? Together, we will connect to the Divine in authentic and inspiring new ways.
Sacred Forgiveness
A forgiveness practice is about returning to our truest self. Forgiveness invites us to release the anger, spite, & hurt feelings that keep us from enjoying all the sweetness life wants to offer us. As we accept this power within us, it propels us forward! Exploring limiting stories and personal introspection, we connect with forgiveness in new ways.
Sacred JOY!
Joy does not deny or avoid life’s pain and sorrow. Instead, it wraps its arms around the full spectrum of our human experience and exclaims, “I choose to elevate joy precisely because of life's fragility." Together, we will explore JOY and playfulness as a path to Divine connection.

An added emphasis on acceptance and trust makes for a sweet spiritual cocktail! Tapping into Spirit under Jessica’s warm and energetic direction—with the added sense of community and friendship fostered by group work—was, and remains, a pleasure." -Kate
