Exhale β€” An 8-Week Summer Circle for Women | Courtney Rose Γ— Psanctuary
An 8-Week Women's Circle

Exhale. A summer of coming home to yourself.

Eight Fridays. Sixty sacred minutes each. A circle for women in family life, at any stage, who are ready to set down what they've been carrying β€” and pick up the version of themselves they've been missing.

A personal welcome

Hello, incredible woman

A few minutes from me, before you read on.

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 freedom.

The Rhythm

Eight Fridays. Sixty sacred minutes each.

A consistent weekly anchor β€” short enough to honor your real life, deep enough to actually shift it.

The Circle

A facilitated large-group session built on Courtney's Before You Go framework β€” a guided arc through where you are, what you're carrying, and what gets to shift.

  • State Your nervous system this week β€” where your body actually is.
  • Story What you're carrying, and what carrying it is costing you.
  • Strategy What gets to shift between this Friday and the next.

The Heart Pods

Courtney facilitates breakout into smaller pods for a silent heart-coherence practice β€” followed by an unstructured pod debrief.

  • The silent practice A shared heart-coherence technique held in the field of your pod.
  • The lineage Inspired by the work of Lynne McTaggart on group coherence and Dr. Joe Dispenza on heart-brain entrainment.
  • The pod debrief Unstructured, no agenda β€” real conversation about what arose in the silence.

We open in the full Circle on June 19 and alternate from there.

Why eight weeks?

Eight weeks is not arbitrary.

Studies on dedicated mindfulness practice have shown something measurable: roughly eight weeks of consistent attention β€” even a short daily rhythm β€” can shrink the size of the amygdala, the part of the brain that has been holding you in chronic alarm.

This is not poetic language. It is a structural softening of the survival response, week by week. It is why this circle is held over eight weeks instead of a single weekend β€” your nervous system asks for a rhythm long enough to actually reorganize.

I.

A circle of women

Each Friday morning, you gather live on Zoom with Courtney and a small circle of women just like you β€” all of us setting down the week and making sixty cleared minutes that are yours.

II.

A guided practice

Each session weaves heart coherence, somatic regulation, journaling, and shared reflection β€” the technologies that actually shift the nervous system out of survival and back into resonance.

III.

Practice you carry

Between Fridays, you're held by your bespoke subtle mushroom plan and journal β€” a rhythm of micro-practice that anchors what the circle opens and lets the eight weeks compound.

What you receive

A bespoke subtle mushroom plan, made for you.

Every woman in this circle receives a personalized 8-week subtle mushroom communion plan, generated from her own answers to a quiet, reflective questionnaire β€” not a template, not a one-size offering.

Your plan is calibrated to your experience level, your sensitivity, your real weekly windows, and the intention you are bringing to this season. It maps a gentle rhythm of subtle-threshold practice across the eight weeks β€” yours to keep, yours to pace, yours to carry forward beyond the circle.

  • Designing Your Communion A reflective questionnaire you complete before Week 1 β€” sensitivity, current state, weekly windows, intention.
  • Your Personalized Plan An 8-week subtle mushroom communion path, calibrated to your responses. Mild, medium, or full subtle threshold β€” your discernment as the final guide.
  • Your Companion Journal A beautifully designed journal to track each session, anchor your intention, and let the practice metabolize between weeks.
  • Subtle Practice Office Hours with Autum Four 30-minute group office hours over the program β€” every other Tuesday at 10 AM ET β€” focused entirely on your subtle mushroom practice. Open to women contributing at the $500 level or higher.

Sourcing Partner
Held by Mama Dose

The fungi are sourced with love and care.

For the sacred mushroom dimension of this practice, we hold a relationship with the founders of Mama Dose β€” small-batch growers who infuse a tremendous amount of love, attention, and reverence into every step of how their sacrament is cultivated and prepared.

Their care shows up in the work itself. The mushroom you sit with is the mushroom that was tended to with intention.

A gift to this circle

Mama Dose has generously offered a special contribution rate for the women in our program β€” a partnership in this season of returning home to yourself.

A note on fit

This is for you if β€”

This circle is for you if

  • You are a woman in family life, at any stage, and you are used to doing it all
  • You feel the tail spin of being out of alignment with your own values, even as you give endlessly to everyone else
  • You are tired of being the only one in the room remembering everything
  • You are quietly ready to put yourself back on your own list
  • You sense that something is asking you to come home to yourself this summer
  • You are open to the support of subtle sacred mushroom practice, held within a sovereign and reverent framework

What to bring

  • Sixty sacred minutes, every Friday, for eight weeks
  • A journal, a candle, and a quiet corner of your home
  • Honesty in answering your reflective questionnaire β€” your plan is only as true as your answers
  • Willingness to be seen, witnessed, and held by other women
  • Yourself β€” the one underneath all the hats
