The Room at the Edge of the Woods

8-Week Fall Salon

 An 8-Week Fall Salon for Women in Their Second Becoming

Next opportunity to join: Fall Salon begins October 2026


There is a part of you that cannot be extinguished.


There is a season when the life you built no longer feels like the life you're meant to keep repeating. When the wise woman inside you has grown tired of waiting, politely tired of shrinking to preserve comfort that was never even hers to protect.


She wants a threshold, not a routine.

She wants wildness back in her hands.

She wants to dream again, out loud, without apologizing for the size of it.

She wants to belong to herself first, and then to a room of women who won't ask her to explain why she's finally done pretending.


Your body has been telling you this for a while. It's the oracle you were taught to ignore in favor of being reasonable. This is the room where you stop ignoring it.


This is The Room at the Edge of the Woods.


Is this you?

✔️ You've spent years being everything for everyone else, and you're ready to reconnect with the woman underneath the roles.

    

 ✔️ You're navigating retirement, an empty nest, divorce, reinvention, grief, or a quieter, undeniable internal shift, and you're tired of calling it "just a phase."

    

✔️ You're tired of being the strong one and calling it a personality.

    

✔️ You crave real conversation over shallow networking, and truth over performance.

    

✔️ You want curiosity, creativity, and soul back in your life not as a self-care hobby, but as a way of living.

    

✔️ You know there is more life available to you. You're just done waiting for permission to go get it.

    

If this sounds like you, you may be standing at your own edge of the woods. This room was built for exactly that threshold.


What The Room Actually Is

A private salon for women becoming more themselves.

The Room at the Edge of the Woods is an 8-week seasonal salon, not an open-ended membership, not a digital content library you scroll through alone. 

It’s small, intentional, and a held circle of women moving through the same eight weeks together, in real time.


Every session follows the same ritual format:

Ink & Incantation.


  1.  Ink reflective writing / freewriting to excavate what's actually true underneath the performance

     

 2.  Movement somatic practice that lets the body (the oracle) speak before the mind edits it

     

 3.  Incantation spoken word, shared aloud, so what was carried as private can become real

     


The theme changes every week. The format never does. You'll always know what to expect, even as what you discover keeps surprising you.


The Five Practices of The Room:

Across all eight weeks, you'll move through five core practices, returned to again and again in different forms:


1.  Storytelling: mine and yours, used as mirrors, not templates

    

2.  Freewriting: writing as excavation; no one edits, no one grades

    

3.  Future-Self Visualization: a guided journey to receive, not invent, what's already waiting for you

    

4.  Paired Sharing: low-stakes practice being witnessed and witnessing each other, without fixing or performing

    

5.  Open Discussion & Q&A space to bring the unresolved, the messy, the not-yet-named

    

 A Personal Note From Me


I created The Room because I needed a space like this myself.


A place where women could tell the truth about their lives without softening it first. Where ambition and softness could sit at the same table. Where intelligence and intuition stopped competing and started collaborating. Where women could stop shrinking and start becoming out loud, in company, on purpose.


For years I've guided women through these invisible thresholds through writing, mentoring, intimate gatherings, and conversations most personal development spaces don't make room for. This eight-week salon is the natural home for all of that work, held with real structure so you're never wondering what happens next, only what you'll discover when you get there.


I'm not promising perfection. I'm promising truth, depth, and a room where you don't have to navigate this season alone.

If You Feel the Pull

You do not need to have everything figured out.

You do not need the perfect words for what you're feeling.

You only need the willingness to honor what's already asking for your attention and eight weeks to practice saying it out loud.

If this feels like your kind of room, I'd love to welcome you.

Reach out privately to explore whether this space feels aligned for you this season.

For women who know there's more.  

An intentional space for 

remembrance and irreverent joy
