you are invited to
The Magical You Circle
Embrace your magic and transform your life in this extraordinary 9-month journey into the heart of love, magic and beauty.
"We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already."
— J.K. Rowling
Join us for a journey into the magical realm of you!
You know that you have magic in you.
Your heart and Soul are calling you to something higher, deeper, richer, more purposeful.
You know or want to know that your body is sacred.
You desire to relish the power and beauty of your blood and bones, to be taken into other dimensions on waves of breath, love and intention.
We live immersed within and without, in realms of immense beauty and unbridled possibilities… within fields of breathtaking love and intelligence. There are worlds of wonder within us and worlds of intelligence and love awaiting our awareness and recognition.
Remember your ability to do the seemingly impossible and to CREATE. That "dormant DNA", is only "dormant" because you are not using it. You are truly magnificent.
Give yourself permission to thrive, shine, love and live as the truest, most authentic self you can be.
You are the magic and the medicine that you seek, and the world needs you.
Join the Magical You Circle Today!
The magic happens when we begin to remember who we are.
To walk the path of unity and sacred respect for oneself and all our relations, is to reweave yarns, once missing in the Tapestry of Life. On our way, we are reacquainted with parts of ourselves, vastly more intelligent and infinitely more wise and loving.

"This play (not work) book is a self-love (not self-help) guide that whole-heartedly draws me in! It invites me to playfully and joyfully nourish self-love and delight in being alive and in being an integral part of the sacred and magical, interconnected universe.
Its beautiful images of nature, its inspiring quotations, its colorful design and wisdom-sharing graphics, its journal prompts and activities, and its guided meditations open me to new ways of being and living."
— Krista Gemmell Harris
"This beautiful book is an invitation to take time for yourself to explore the beauty, wisdom, inspiration of your deepest soul longings. So much to enjoy and savor!"

READY to see just how amazing you truly are?
Join Our Journey into Love, Magic and Sacred Embodiment Today.
We are going to have so much fun.
And, we need this now, more than ever.
We will play, dance, sing, make art, create ritual, journal, engage and celebrate all parts of ourselves, share stories and enliven relationships in all realms.
We are going to come back into our bodies and honor them as instruments of our Soul. We will nurture healthy habits, nourish our bodies, minds and spirits and release what no longer serves us.
We will call our power back and breathe life into our unique voice\gift\story.
And, we will explore emergent knowledge in mundane and sacred sciences, tune our chakras and remember how amazing and powerful we truly are.
To be in this Circle is truly a gift that you are giving yourself... and by extension, your partner, family, friends and the world.
