Healing Circles

At Body Truth, we believe healing starts when you slow down enough to feel. The Healing Circle is a sacred space where the goal isn’t to analyze current events or exchange advice—it’s to come home to yourself.

​

Each gathering offers guided prompts, integration questions, and compassionate reflection designed to help you reconnect with your inner truth. We explore the root of emotional patterns, especially those moments when your reaction feels out of proportion to the event. These are not overreactions—they’re invitations. Signs that something deep within you wants a voice. Here, you’ll have the space and support to listen.

​

This is the heart of what we do at Body Truth: reclaiming the ability to hear yourself. When the body holds unspoken stories, symptoms arise. When emotions are silenced, they speak louder. Through gentle, courageous inquiry, we’ll practice bringing the subconscious to the surface—turning reactivity into choice, and disconnection into embodied presence.

 

As Viktor Frankl wrote: “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our happiness.” This is what we practice here.

 

Come as you are. Leave with a deeper sense of clarity, agency, and connection—to yourself and others.

Upcoming Healing Circles

What You’ll Experience

A two-hour gathering of up to 5 people, designed to help you feel more connected and supported. Each circle is a space to share, listen, and be witnessed—whether you’re moving through a life change, processing a spiritual journey, or feeling overwhelmed.

What to Expect (Agenda)

  • Gentle meditation/breathwork to arrive fully in the present moment

  • Introductions + intentions

  • Time for each person to share what’s on their heart (struggles, insights, setbacks, or breakthroughs)

  • Group listening, reflection, and support

  • Closing to integrate and carry forward what resonates

Why Community?

We are the most blind to our own patterns. Healing in isolation can only take us so far. In this circle, you’ll be seen, heard, and held—and you’ll witness others in return. This kind of healing is layered, nonlinear, and beautifully human. Being in a group helps us move faster, deeper, and with more grace.

​

Being witnessed by others and realizing that your experiences matter can be deeply healing. Our circles are about connection—not fixing, not advice, just being together in community with integrity.

Details

  • Duration: 2 hours

  • Cost: $60 per person

  • Group size: max 5 people

Personal Note

Healing circles aren’t new—but I created these because I’ve seen firsthand how profoundly transformational it is to heal in community.​ When we sit in community, we remember that we’re not alone. We witness parts of ourselves in others. We feel less ashamed, more understood, and deeply connected—not just to the people around us, but to ourselves.

​

In a world where so much of our connection happens online, what we really need more than ever is in-person community.

​

As Vivek Murthy wrote in Together, loneliness isn’t just painful—it’s a public health crisis. But community is medicine.

 

This circle is a space for truth, tenderness, and transformation. If you feel the pull… trust it. You belong here.
