Application

This circle holds six women. I read every application myself and choose the women who, together, will make the most honest, alive container.

Some of what I ask below will take a moment to sit with. That's on purpose — the willingness to turn inward and answer truthfully is the work we'll do together. Take your time.

What is calling you to this circle — and why now, rather than a year ago?

When you're in a group of women, how do you tend to show up — when it feels easy, and when it feels hard?

How ready are you to be honest — with yourself, and with five women you haven't met yet?

This is eight Thursdays in a row, plus a daily WhatsApp meditation check-in. What in your life might get in the way of showing up fully — and how will you tend to it?

Anything else you want me to know before I respond to your application?

I understand this is a small, committed circle of six, and that my presence shapes the safety of the whole.

I'm choosing to show up for all eight Thursdays, 7:30–9:00 PM in Berkeley, beginning in July — and to stay close in the WhatsApp circle between sessions.

Yes. I'm choosing this, and I'm ready to do the work.
