The Forestmind gathering space is created for women+ who are mystics, introverts, or highly sensitive souls.

I, for one, know that life can be overwhelming for a sensitive soul. Whether you are an introverted solopreneur or a mystic just trying to live life on your own terms, you’re gonna need some support along your journey.

That’s what Forestmind is here for. It’s a respite for you when you’re tired of trying to do it all alone. It’s a place to find community and comfort.

Maybe you have tried joining programs and communities, but they left you feeling even more overwhelmed and defeated. These spaces are often built on the hustle and grind mentality and lure you in with a tagline that says something about success or, more specifically, $10K months.

Many group containers are not built with the mystical, introverted, highly sensitive soul in mind. But Forestmind is.

This sacred container allows you to connect with kindred spirits who support and inspire you, as you are encouraged to connect with your own inner knowing and intuitive guidance.

The world is changing and we’re moving away from a dependence on the “expert” telling us what to do and how we should live our lives. And we’re moving back toward a trust in ourselves and our own inner knowing. Back home to ourselves.

…including cozy gatherings, mentoring sessions, nourishing retreats, guest features, and book clubs.

The cost is $4,888 (8 monthly payments of $611) or $4,444 (pay in full, save $444). Applications open September 20-25. Forestmind begins on October 1st and ends on May 31st. All live gatherings will be on select Thursdays beginning at 10am ET.

Forestmind is a truly cozy group that hosts between 2 and 6 members. You will have an abundance of space where you can have breathing room, let your guard down, be messy and vulnerable, and be yourself (or discover yourself). You will have the space to share your successes, your failures, and everything in between. We all need the space to take an honest, yet kind, look at ourselves to discover who we are and what we’re here for. And I believe that we can only do this by slowing down and unlearning the busyness of our society that has kept us distracted from ourselves and our true power. I don’t believe in overcrowding group spaces in the name of scaling. We already have too much of this extractive practice in the world today. Here you will not be a number. You will be an integral part of a supportive community.

I believe you need community. We have grown up in a society that has prided rugged individualism, and we are now suffering as a result. We have become so disconnected from everything and everyone, including ourselves, our intuition, our inherent nature, and nature itself. If you’re anything like me, you may have started by trying to figure everything out yourself. You can google everything you need to know about having a wildly successful life and business. If that’s all that was needed, we would all have perfect lives and be billionaires if we wanted to. All the information is there – for free. You don’t need more information, you need community. Forestmind may be the community that you’ve been looking for. It is a place for you to reconnect with people who are figuring things out alongside you. It’s a place for you to rediscover the importance of having the community care that we’ve been missing.

That’s how they draw you in isn’t it? The promise of a better life. I think that we are beginning to learn that there are no quick fixes to our struggles of existing as a human being in this often complicated life. After being burned over and over again by programs that promise success and riches, you’re probably feeling defeated or that there’s something wrong with you. I’m here to say that there’s nothing wrong with you. Many of us are struggling in the world today. There are big shifts and changes and we have been feeling it, whether it be via increased depression and anxiety, a feeling of being scattered and ungrounded, or experiencing financial ups and downs and the stresses that come with living in a capitalistic society. Forestmind is not a place of false promises, but it will be a space where you can be yourself and get genuine compassionate support as we navigate this life together.

Coaching, self-help, and spirituality spaces are not always safe and inclusive spaces for members of the global majority (BIPOC). As someone with many unearned privileges in this incarnation, I am committed to unlearning ways of being that are steeped in capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy, racism, & white supremacy. Although I will stumble along the way, I promise to always make space within the Forestmind community for nuances, conversations, and feedback on topics of race, gender, sexuality, class, disability, and other identities from folks with lived experiences of oppression that I do not share. I will also expect a promise like this from all members of Forestmind – that you are actively engaged in learning and embodying practices of anti-racism and decolonization so that all members feel heard, honored, and respected as we share our different lived experiences.

During your time in Forestmind, I’ll help you begin to heal the witch wound. The witch wound is a collective, psychic trauma and a spiritual, psychological wound that manifests as a result of the Burning Times, when women (and some men) were tortured, burned, drowned, and killed for being witches. If you ignore or suppress your intuition, become paralyzed with fear when it comes to fully showing up in your life or business, or you keep yourself hidden and small as to not draw attention, you may be experiencing the witch wound. This wound keeps us from stepping into ourselves and into our full power. It prevents us from fully knowing ourselves, and therefore has us seeking guidance and approval outside of ourselves. The healing of the witch wound is best done in a supportive community, so that’s what we’ll be doing.

I don’t know about you, but I’m sick and tired of the “10X your business with my 5-step proven formula” and promises to “make millions in your sleep with passive income.”

All this is bullshit and it’s a product of the late-stage capitalism world we find ourselves in. Our precious Earth is at a breaking point, and so are we. If you’ve been feeling exhausted and you don’t know why – maybe it’s just the society we are currently living in. We are steeped in the patriarchy and colonialism and capitalism that feeds off the suffering of others.

I want Forestmind to be an antithesis to this harmful culture that has us all feeling bad about ourselves if we’re not at the top of our game and ‘crushing it,’ and utterly exhausted if we have somehow found a way to, in fact, ‘crush it.’

I have become disillusioned and disappointed with the coaching industry as of late. And, as a coach, I guess I am part of the coaching industry. Hence my pull to reimagine what my work looks like.

I’m moving further away from the title of ‘coach,’ and closer to the title of ‘mentor.’ Further away from the term ‘mastermind,’ and closer to the terms ‘gathering,’ ‘circle,’ and ‘community.’

My work with Emily Anne Brant in the Decolonized Coach Community is helping to guide me with this reimagining. And I invite you to learn from her as well.

I hope that this reimagined Forestmind can be a support for you. It’s not going to be ‘the thing’ that cures all. And I’m sure that you’re beginning to figure that out, especially if you’re someone who jumps from program to program believing, “I’ve finally found it, this is the one!”. No program is going to be ‘the thing’ that solves all your problems.

But Forestmind is a place where you can come to lift the veil that has been concealing your intuition, inner knowing, and inherent worth. Forestmind is a place where we can allow ourselves to decondition from the belief that something outside of ourselves is going to save us or be the cure for all our woes. We need to do that from within. You are more powerful than you know.

…and after all these years I’m still trying to figure out what to say about myself. Maybe I always will be, and that’s alright with me. Maybe it’s my way of resisting the polished perfection that we are told to strive for when showing up and being seen (or when writing our bio). Or maybe it’s because I’m trying to remain open and flexible so that I can follow my intuition and the path that is being laid out before me, one little step at a time. Or maybe I’m just confused and asking myself, “What even is this life?”

No matter the answer, I’m figuring it out along the way just like you. I’m no longer trying to pretend like I have it all together or know what I’m doing. And I’m giving you permission to do the same.

“An absolute joy. You are a ray of sunshine on a crisp, cold day. You inspire comfort and clarity just by being you! The way you show up for yourself and your business has really helped me see what’s possible. You do this with such authenticity and humility. I love that you never present yourself as an authority. You never make empty promises, condescend, judge or tell anyone what to do. You simply share yourself and offer insight as it comes and I love how this facilitates genuine connection and personal insight.”

“Gentle, reassuring and powerful, a really beautiful experience. You are incredibly present and generous with your support.”

Anti-Racism & Decolonization Promise: I am committed to unlearning ways of being that are steeped in capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy, racism, & white supremacy. Although I will stumble along the way, I promise to make space in my programs for nuances, conversations, & feedback on topics of race, gender, sexuality, class, disability, & other identities from folks with lived experiences of oppression that I do not share.
