The Spiral Path
Start your season with intentional ritual
Choose from a Fall, Winter, or Spring session (or attend all three!) to join a committed small group of women to gather in rhythm with the seasons to explore what it means to live with more honesty, agency, and connection—to body, self, and voice.
This is a guided circle rooted in seasonal rituals, reflective practices, and shared experience. Together, we’ll examine the patterns many women are taught to carry—over-functioning, self-silencing, disconnection from the body—and begin to loosen their hold through awareness, practice, and support.
The intention isn’t to “fix” you or prescribe a new identity. It’s to create the conditions where you can:
Notice what you’ve been taught to believe or perform
Build a more grounded relationship with your body and emotions
Practice expressing needs, boundaries, and truth
Reconnect with desire, creativity, and inner authority
Be witnessed—without interruption, advice, or pressure
Each session follows a theme inspired by the natural cycles of our uniquely potent seasons, moving from grounding and awareness in the fall, into deeper emotional and internal work in the winter, and toward expression and integration in the spring.
Sessions blend:
Structured conversation and reflection
Guided practices (journaling, embodiment, voice work)
Simple + accessible rituals
Consistent group sharing in a safe space
No prior experience with circles or ritual is needed—just a willingness to show up and participate at your own pace.
Duration: Fall Series: September - November, Winter Series : January - March, Spring Series: April - June
Format: Weekly 90-minute in-person circle
Group Size: Intentionally small to support depth and trust
Location: Hendon Home Sanctuary, St. Anthony Park
Each gathering follows a consistent rhythm: arrival, guided reflection, experiential practice + ritual before closing. Over time, this structure helps create a sense of safety that allows for more honest and meaningful work.
This circle may be a good fit if you:
Feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, over-responsibility, or self-doubt
Want a more connected relationship with your body and emotions
Are looking for a space where you don’t have to perform or have it together
Are open to reflective practices
Value depth, consistency, and gradual change over quick fixes
What this circle is NOT:
This is not therapy or a replacement for mental health care
It’s not a space for debate, advice-giving, or fixing others
It doesn’t require a specific spiritual belief system
It’s not about becoming someone new—it’s about become more fully ourselves
Through this program you will notice:
Greater awareness of automatic patterns
Increased comfort expressing thoughts and boundaries
A more stable sense of self-trust
Deeper connection with others in a non-performative space
The pace is intentional. Change happens through repetition, honesty, and being witnessed over time.

About the Facilitator
About Julia
Julia’s work is rooted in a deep commitment to creating spaces where women can show up honestly—without pressure to perform, explain, or have it all figured out.
Her path has been shaped by a lifelong pull toward connection, ritual, and time in the natural world. As an adult, she has intentionally sought out spaces that support well-being of the body, mind, and spirit, and this continues to inform how she gathers women today.
Her background includes training in breathwork, Reiki, Tantra Yoga, and Yoga Nidra, along with extensive participation in circle and ritual spaces such as red tents, seasonal and lunar gatherings, kirtan, and community-based practices. She also completed the Landmark Curriculum for Living in 2015, which contributed to her foundation in personal development and group process.
Julia began her professional life in education before stepping away from the classroom to create Wilderness Awakening, where she now facilitates workshops, youth programs, and retreats. Her work weaves together mindfulness, naturalist studies, creative expression, and simple, intentional ritual.
In 2020, Julia and her husband, photographer Doug Beasley, co-founded Samsara Ridge, a 45-acre retreat space dedicated to hosting gatherings in a peaceful, natural setting. The land is an integral part of her work and reflects a commitment to living in rhythm with seasonal cycles.
Julia’s facilitation is grounded in the understanding that many of the patterns women struggle with—over-giving, self-silencing, and disconnection from the body—are not personal failures, but learned adaptations.
Rather than offering a prescriptive path, she creates a steady, structured environment where change can happen through consistent practice, reflection, and being witnessed over time.
She draws from a blend of:
Facilitated group process
Somatic and body-based awareness practices
Reflective and journaling methods
Seasonal and ritual-based frameworks
Her role is not to fix, diagnose, or position herself as the authority on anyone’s life. Instead, she guides the structure, holds the container, and offers practices that support each participant in developing their own awareness, voice, and sense of agency.
This work is ongoing for Julia as well. She approaches facilitation with respect for the complexity of people’s experiences, and a commitment to staying within a grounded, ethical scope.
She is most at home creating ritual sanctuary space with other women in quiet, natural environments, where depth can emerge through presence, consistency, and shared experience.
