You know that sensation when you are in a big box store that feels draining and overwhelming? Or when someone nearby is caught up in high emotion and you find yourself feeling agitated or taking on their emotions?

When I was a baby practitioner, back in 2004, I asked one of my instructors why my jaw was hurting when I was working on somebody whose main issue was jaw pain. Raised in the midwest, this was a confusing concept to me – the realm of the invisible was beyond my understanding. Her response to me was simply, “You are very sensitive, you must be careful.” That was the only thing anybody in my training said to me about the awareness of energetic fields or boundaries. There was no more acknowledgement of what they were or how to be in my own space to not absorb the energies of the others around me. This began my journey into self education, discovery, and collecting of tools and resources over the years.

I imagine that I am not alone in this experience, that there are many others who have been discovering their own energetic fields and how they intersect with other fields around them and how to bolster their own boundaries, whether they are practitioners in energy work or simply (never simply) sensitive individuals.

In this process, I have found ways to access a core strength, that settles sensations of overwhelm, or clears agitation and anxiety from my body. I have learned how to tune into different levels and aspects of my energy field, how to clear places of stagnation, or strengthen places that are weak. I have learned to tune into cords that are attaching to me and how to tune into cords that I am sending out to others and how to reel them back in.

For several years, I have envisioned bringing others together, to

• share resources that I have collected in my 20+ years of practice
• share our experiences of learning and discovering
• be curious together
• gain resources from our collective wisdom together, building our collective tool kits

And so, I present a four part workshop and gathering circle to do exactly this, starting at the end of January, meeting once a month. Each gathering we’ll do a guided meditation, tuning into a different aspect of the energy realms to clear our fields. We’ll have time for sharing our stories, asking into our curiosities and holding the space of questions together, and have time to share what resources others have found helpful in their own journeys.

I look forward to what the collective brings together in our alchemy of gathering.

Blessings,
In the flow,
