Restoring The Heart

A winter women’s circle to rest deeply, release what weighs you down, & rewrite the narratives that shape your life

A space for you to be seen, held, & supported through the quiet darkness of winter.

This 12-week circle is a sacred offering—a haven for women drawn to the slower rhythms of the darker months, a time when life naturally calls us to turn inward. It is for those yearning for connection in a season that can feel isolating, for those navigating the tender ground of inherited patterns—distrust, self-doubt, scarcity—and the quiet contractions of simply being human. It is a space for those longing to rediscover clarity, ease, and balance.

We gather as a community, bound by the shared understanding that some burdens are too heavy to carry alone. In this shared space, we create warmth through connection—a container where your heart feels safe to open, where you can rest as you explore the intricacies of your inner world. This circle is not about fixing or rushing through what is tender. It is a refuge where you can simply be—free from judgment, free from pressure, and held in a way that honors your natural rhythm.

In this space, you will be met with the kindness of kindred souls, each here to witness you fully, just as you are. Together, we will honor the entirety of your experience—the light and the shadow, the joy and the sorrow, the seen and the unseen—inviting every part of you to be acknowledged, embraced, and gently held. By gathering together, we create something sacred: a sanctuary where each heart can rest, where every story is honored, and where every soul can rediscover trust within.

Through this journey, you will begin to feel the quiet shift: the unraveling of inherited patterns, the softening of self-doubt, and the blossoming of trust in your inner wisdom. Together, we will create space for emotional harmony, grounded clarity, and a reconnection to the depths of yourself and your relationships. This work invites you to foster a sense of belonging, not just within this circle, but within your life as a whole.

In walking this path, you will uncover the quiet strength within you—the clarity to navigate life’s complexities, the resilience to face what once felt overwhelming, and the trust that has been waiting patiently to guide you home. By the end of this circle, you will feel a renewed sense of alignment, an easeful relationship with your emotions, and a deeper connection to the beauty and possibility in your life.

The healing that awaits

We will be gathering every Wednesday from 5:30pm-7:30pm at my West Linn studio beginning January 8th & ending March 26th

As the days grow colder and the earth wraps herself in stillness, we too are invited into a tender pause—a quiet turning inward. Here, your heart will find rest, free to open without fear or urgency. Together, we will honor the stories etched within, meeting each one with compassion as it softens in the warmth of connection. In this refuge, you will begin to rediscover the quiet strength that has always lived inside you, finding clarity where there was once confusion and ease where there was resistance. By the time our journey closes, you will step forward not as someone newly created, but as someone returned—aligned with your truth, held by your wisdom, and ready to meet the world with softness and strength.

Our practices

Each week, we will come together in a space that honors the unique energy of the group, allowing the flow of our time to be shaped by what naturally arises. This circle is an invitation to gently meet yourself where you are, to unwind what has been tightly held, and to rediscover the strength and wisdom that reside within you. After the holidays, we will gather weekly on Wednesdays from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, beginning January 8th. Through these weeks, we will weave together practices that guide and support us on this journey of connection, healing, and renewal.

Journaling as Reflection:

Each prompt invites you into a quiet, intimate dialogue with yourself, offering a space for thoughts, feelings, and longings to rise naturally. As your pen moves, clarity begins to emerge, allowing the stories within you to unfold and soften. This gentle practice helps you uncover what has been hidden and opens the door to deeper understanding and self-awareness.

Inner Journeys of Discovery:

Guided meditation opens the doorway to your inner world, where your heart’s wisdom resides. These journeys allow you to connect with the quiet truths within, revealing insights and clarity that flow effortlessly. With each journey, you are invited to explore and trust the guidance that arises.

Personal Narratives as Healing:

Your voice carries a unique and vital thread in the tapestry of our circle. By sharing your experiences, you create a bridge between yourself and others, fostering connection and understanding. Here, your story will be received with reverence and compassion, offering you the freedom to speak openly and be fully witnessed.

Creative Expression as Release:

Painting becomes a channel for your heart to speak, translating emotions, memories, and unspoken experiences onto the canvas. Each brushstroke holds the potential for release and transformation, allowing you to externalize what you carry inside. This practice invites you to explore and express freely, offering a new perspective on what you hold within.

Sound as Restoration:

The resonance of sound becomes a soothing balm, gently guiding your body and mind into a state of deep rest. Through the vibrations of singing bowls and other tones, tension melts away, and your nervous system finds its natural rhythm. This is a space to let the music cradle you, offering healing that transcends words.

Breath as Renewal:

The practice of breathwork grounds you deeply in your body, creating space for release and renewal. Each inhale fills you with presence and vitality, while each exhale carries away what is no longer needed. Breath becomes a steady companion, helping you reconnect with yourself and the life force moving through you.

Our Gathering Space

What makes this space unique

This circle is a sanctuary unlike any other—a space where the rhythms of nature and the wisdom of generations come together to guide us through the tender process of healing. Rooted in the values of depth, connection, and community, it invites you to honor the cycles of life—both within and around you. Each element of this circle is designed to help you connect more fully with yourself, with the earth, and with the collective wisdom of the group. Through reflection, ritual, and shared presence, you will gently release inherited patterns, rediscover trust in your inner strength, and find balance in the warmth of a supportive community.

Seasonal Rituals

The cycles of the earth will guide us, offering their wisdom as we journey through the stillness of winter. In the depth of this season, we will pause to nurture what is tender, to set intentions that honor the seeds of possibility within us. As spring approaches, we will gently awaken to renewal, celebrating the quiet growth that has taken root during our time together. These rituals will remind us to move in harmony with the natural world, allowing its grace to inspire and support our healing.

Moon Cycles

The moon will light our path, her phases reflecting the ebb and flow of our inner lives. As she waxes and wanes, we will honor the call to both release and replenish. Her darkness will invite stillness and introspection, while her light will guide us toward clarity and growth. In her presence, we will find permission to embrace the fullness of our journey, trusting that every phase holds its own quiet wisdom.

Ancestral Connection

Within this circle, we will hold space for the echoes of those who came before us. The stories and patterns carried through generations will be met with compassion, allowing them to unfold and reveal their lessons. By tending to these inherited threads, we create space for healing that reaches far beyond ourselves. Together, we will honor the gifts and release the burdens of our lineage, stepping into a clearer and more grounded relationship with our own path.

Additional Support

Between our gatherings, the thread of connection remains unbroken. Through our private Voxer chat, you will have a space to share what arises—a reflection, a question, or simply a moment where you need to feel held. This shared space becomes an extension of our circle, offering steady support and reminding you that you are never alone. The voices of the group, with their warmth and wisdom, will continue to hold you gently as you walk through this season of transformation.

Feeling the call? Let’s connect.

If you’re feeling that gentle pull, that quiet whisper to join this circle, let’s take a moment together. Perhaps you have questions, or you’re wondering if this space is truly meant for you. I’m here to listen to the stirrings of your heart, to explore what kind of support you’re seeking, & the shifts you’re longing to make. We’ll walk through what this circle can offer you—how it will hold you, nurture you, & help you grow in the ways your soul is asking for.

My name is Emily Rose

It is my deepest honor to walk beside you on this journey. I have come to this work through my own intimate experiences with grief, disconnection, and the yearning to be truly seen in all my raw humanity. These experiences have taught me that within each of us lies a well of resourcefulness and wisdom, waiting to guide us toward balance and renewal.

My work is rooted in the belief that our bodies carry profound intelligence, offering clarity and grace when we slow down and listen. Through years of study, self-inquiry, and walking my own path of loss and healing, I’ve learned to trust the quiet rhythms within—patterns that reveal what needs to soften, what needs to heal, and what is ready to grow. I create spaces where the layers of inherited patterns can begin to unwind, where shame and doubt can gently release, and where you can reconnect with the quiet strength that is always yours.

The power of gathering in circle is at the heart of this offering. When women come together—shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart—a unique and ancestral wisdom rises. These circles remind us that healing is not a solitary act; it is born in the shared rhythms of connection, where trust, balance, and harmony grow naturally. Whether you come as a sister, mother, daughter, or simply as yourself, you are welcomed here. This is a refuge where your whole being is honored, where your story matters, and where the strength of community holds space for your transformation.

For those longing to feel deeply connected to themselves and others, to release the patterns that no longer serve, and to step into clarity and balance, this circle is for you. It is my honor to hold this container, to guide you back to your own wisdom, and to walk with you as you awaken to the beauty and strength within you.

The rhythm of our gatherings

I know how powerful the impact is of healing in circle, & I feel the call in my community—a longing for meaningful connection, for spaces where self-doubt, inherited patterns, and the weight of life’s transitions can be gently held and released. This circle is a sanctuary attuned to the rhythms of the earth and moon, offering practices that honor both the collective and the individual.

Over the course of 12 weeks, we will journey through the quiet months of winter—a season that naturally calls us inward. In this time of reflection, we will honor the transitions and patterns you carry, allowing them to soften and transform. Here, you are invited to step out of the rush of daily life and into a space where you can simply be. Together, we will create an environment of safety and care, where emotions can rise and soften, and where healing unfolds at its own pace. This is a space to feel seen, heard, and deeply supported as you reconnect with the wisdom and clarity within you.

Join a sacred space, where you will be seen, heard, & deeply supported on your healing journey.
