September Women's Circle
Hosts: DeAnna Houston and Emily Tozzolo
Theme: Sitting with Grief and Gratitude
During this month’s circle, we tend to our hearts.
Grief is something we all experience, yet it isn’t always easy to name. It doesn’t always come from the passing of a loved one. Sometimes it is invisible, unclear, or unspoken. It may be an ending of a season, releasing something we hoped for that didn’t come to be, or letting go of a version of ourselves that no longer exists.
Together, we’ll create a safe and gentle space to acknowledge grief in an accessible and supportive way. We’ll begin by simply naming what is here and allowing it to be witnessed, without pressure to move on.
Through a releasing ceremony, we’ll symbolically begin to bury what we’ve been carrying, and acknowledge our loss to create space for something new.
Because grief and gratitude coexist, we acknowledge that dark and light are both part of the human experience. We recognize that we do not have to be grateful for suffering, we can allow gratitude to soften the edges of grief.
We will spend time shifting our attention inward, finding peace by tuning into our senses, and expressing appreciation for micro-moments through pauses intended to help calm our nervous system.
We hope you leave feeling a little lighter, or simply with a deeper understanding of what it means to heal, moving forward.
There is no need to arrive with the right words. Just come as you are.
Learn more about Women's Circles. For centuries, women have gathered to share wisdom, process emotions, and support one another—connection we need now more than ever. This circle offers a sacred pause, blending breath work, meditation, journaling, and slow movement around a monthly theme. We begin with introductions, followed by guided practices, heartfelt sharing, and a nourishing snack prepared with intention. You’ll leave feeling seen, supported, and equipped with practical tools to integrate the theme into your daily life.

October Women's Circle
Hosts: DeAnna Houston and Emily Tozzolo
Theme: The Magic Around Us
As little girls, movies and stories gave us hope and excitement that magic may exist. Maybe you made potions, pretended sticks were magic wands, or conjured a snow day with inside out jammies. It was nice to believe that perhaps there was something a little more special happening around us.
During October’s Women’s Circle, we’ll play with the idea that magic may still exist in our everyday lives, but in a familiar or comforting way. If we tune in to energy, intuition, and signs, we may feel more guided along our path.
Through discussion, meditation, and shared experiences, we’ll explore how to become more aware of these messages and begin to trust the wisdom that may already be within and around us.
You may leave with a deeper connection to your intuition, a little more clarity about your path, and a reminder that you don’t always have to have all the answers.
You’ll receive an intention-filled candle to take home, creating a simple ritual to continue this practice and build trust in your own inner knowing.
Come curious. Come open. And perhaps, come ready to believe in a little magic again.

November Women's Circle
Hosts: DeAnna Houston and Dr. Christina Brooks
Theme: Rewriting your Inner Dialogue
Please join Dr. Christina Brooks, Psychologist, specializing in anxiety disorders and OCD and DeAnna Houston, Somatic Experiencing® Facilitator, for a very special Women’s Circle dedicated to understanding what fuels our thought patterns.
In this supportive space, we will explore how our beliefs shape the inner voice, and how that voice can sometimes contribute to feelings of anxiety, unworthiness, or self-doubt. Through education and self reflection, we’ll begin to understand why we behave the way we do.
With this understanding, you’ll learn to recognize your own somatic cues, allowing you to catch these patterns as they arise and respond with greater compassion. You’ll leave feeling more resourced, grounded, and empowered to navigate your inner world.
