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.
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.Viktor Frankl
Hello incredible woman,
I have a feeling I already know the head space you might be in right now. I know it well β in fact, I've spent the last decade finding my way through the longest, most winding, most rewarding journey there seems to be: from my head to my heart. I've co-founded and built businesses that have helped hundreds and hundreds of people make that same descent. And still, I have found myself returning to the familiar patterns of mental fatigue, of disconnection from myself, my husband, and my kids, of hiding behind the very work I created to help other people free themselves.
If reading this is bringing tears to your eyes, I am giving you a big warm hug right now. I can already hear the thoughts popping up β What is wrong with me? Why do I keep doing this to myself? Will I ever escape this feeling of not having enough time, enough energy, enough emotional capacity to hold it all?
I am standing right beside you to remind you: there is nothing β not even a microgram of anything β wrong with you. You don't need to be fixed. You need to be nourished. You need to be reminded of how incredible you already are.
We are in a unique moment as women. We've found ourselves wearing more hats inside the household than ever before β master organizers, jugglers of many bags, chore delegators, application-filler-outers, email and text message communication wizards, career climbers β and at the beginning and end of the day, the ones still able to find all the layers of clothing for the kids and give the best hugs when little toes get stubbed and big feelings get hurt.
But what about us, and what really lights us up? You can't give from an empty cup, you know. We've all heard it a hundred times and laughed-or-cried inside. And then asked: where is the time and energy to fill the cup?
What we have forgotten β and largely lost β is that it has only been a very short stretch of human history that families have lived isolated from one another. Women's nervous systems were developed over many thousands of years to be in close proximity with other women: laughing, playing, commiserating, helping, and weaving shared tradition through structured rites of passage. Your body remembers this even if your calendar doesn't.
There is nothing wrong with you. You are living inside a system that was not built for you, and you have done a damn good job navigating it.
The good news is that we women are far more powerful than we can even fathom β especially when we come together with shared intention.
This recurring tail spin of waking up nauseous with realizations that we are living out of alignment with our values β not practicing what we preach to our kids and to the people we love most β does not have to be our normal anymore. I have been blessed beyond measure to have friends and mentors along my path who have been courageous enough to remind me that no one is coming to save me. I get to choose my own adventure here. So do you.
This is why I have been so passionate about leading transformative women's circles for the last five years. When powerful women gather in a room to lift each other up, to see and be seen, to exhale and expand together, time collapses and quantum leaps occur.
I am inviting you now into exactly such a container, this summer β eight Fridays beginning June 19th β to give yourself permission to tune your energy field, collapse time, and invite miracles into your life alongside other amazing women just like you.
Because the cost of not interrupting this pattern is too great. And the reward of letting yourself feel alive again is beyond measure. It is for you β and it is also for your marriage, your kids, your community. Your energy has the power to shift every room you walk into.
Imagine the ripple effect of claiming your power, your joy, and your magnetism this summer. That is the REAL beach body vibe that will make your dreams come true this summer.
I would love to see your beautiful self inside this circle very soon. β€οΈ
Eight Fridays. Sixty sacred minutes each.
A consistent weekly anchor β short enough to honor your real life, deep enough to actually shift it.
Each Friday rotates between two cleared containers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Autum Psanctuary member Β· Level 2 graduate since 2023 Β· trained in mushroom-specific somatic work.
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.
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.
