A four-week online course beginning May 5, 2024, followed by a nourishing retreat in June!

Embodied Healing Practices from a Christ-centered Approach

Have you found yourself a little lost in this season? Or maybe you’re struggling to align your heart/values/desires with how you’re living your life?

WHAT WOULD IT FEEL LIKE TO:

*LIVE YOUR LIFE TRULY ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE

*Experience your days WITH a deep understanding of who you are and how you’re meant to shine in this life

*live in TRUE PRESENCE AND DEEPER PEACE

the word SHALOM encompasses:

HARMONY

WHOLENESS

WELLNESS

PEACE

& CONNECTEDNESS

We’re all longing for SHALOM - peace, wholeness, a deep sense of connectedness and belonging. We were made for it! The word Shalom means much more than our translation of “peace”. It’s a more holistic word, filled with hope and encompasses harmony, wholeness, wellness, peace, and connectedness (to self, God, and others). Through mind, body, heart, and soul practices, we’ll learn how to cultivate SHALOM in our whole selves- to live it out in our daily lives.

Hi! I’m abby

I’m here to be your compassionate guide as we navigate the waters of cultivating Shalom together. My story has unfolded in unexpected ways - more grief than I’d hoped, yet thanks to God, more depth and peace and presence than I expected. I’d love to share what Ive learned and grow together as we find more Peace, Presence, and Joy, even in the midst of whatever life challenges you may be experiencing. As daughters of God, our hearts are created and called to be an “outpost of Eden”, a dwelling place of a dwelling God. Let’s explore this incredible call together!

THIS four week Online Course INCLUDES:

  • Embodiment Sessions: Weekly recorded embodiment practices to invite the Shalom of Christ through physical integration, mindfulness, and prayer. All practices are trauma-informed and can be modified for specific needs. Each weekly session will be themed in correlation with the teachings for that week (see below).

  • Weekly e-mail with Christ-centered Audio Meditations, Breath Practices and Prayers to incorporate into your journey.

  • Teaching and Coaching Calls: Two live calls via zoom that will ground us in the process and help create a map for the course, as well as wrap up the process with an honoring ceremony and sending. Topics include Embodied Safety and Original Belonging / Alchemize, Release, and Restore / The Heart: Honoring, Connection, Belonging / Inviting new Rhythms of Grace and Grounding / Integration and Celebration.

  • Private One-on-one Session: with Abby for additional support - will be scheduled before or at the beginning of the course.

  • Soulbook: Your guidebook with everything you need for deeper integration with practices, journal prompts, teachings, and resources.

  • Community: A group of soulful women who will hold, witness, and honor one another in this beautiful process of letting go and becoming. A safe and sacred container for restoration and belonging.

  • Access: to the SS portal of all videos and audio recordings so you can come back to them at your convenience. You’ll have access to this for the four weeks during the course and following as long as the course is available. 

  • Option to add the RETREAT to your course for a discounted price. The retreat will happen after the course is finished and would be an incredible way to integrate even more. The Shalom Northeast Retreat is an in-person, intimate and nourishing experience where we’ll soak in the beauty and healing of nature, rest, restorative and invigorating practices, and intentional time to process and grow in a safe and nurturing setting. More retreat details can be found here.

It’s just so good. So healing. SO beautiful…

I keep going back to the practices you've taught me.

FAQ’s

How much time do I need to commit?

You’ll need to commit to at least 2 hours a week to attend the live sessions and/or watch the video for the week. The minimum: 30-45 minutes for embodiment session recordings, and on two weeks, 90 minutes for live teaching/coaching calls. The rest of your time will be on your own throughout the week, and I highly recommend dedicating a little time every day for your practices.  

Where do I access the courses and live-streams?

I have an online studio that once you enroll, you will gain unlimited access to the course. You can bookmark that page in your browser and return to it when you need. All video lessons and live-streams will happen within my online studio or zoom calls. You will be getting an email reminder every week with all the information.

I’m nervous about the group setting. Do I have to join that part? 

Yes, as much as is possible for you. I believe (and know from experience) that the group aspect is actually one of the most healing aspects of a program like this. Although it can feel very vulnerable, I promise, it is where much of the magic happens. We are made for relationship and community. When we can be together in an intentional space for healing, amazing things can happen for ourselves and each other. 

“Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.”- Brené Brown

I’m hesitant about the embodied healing / yoga part. What if I can’t do it?
The practices we will be doing will be accessible for any and all levels of experience. If you have any special needs; whether physical or otherwise, I am happy to help you learn how to modify anything to work better for you. 

What does it cost? Do you have any payment plan options or scholarships for your offerings?

$198 for the entire course / $798 for the entire course plus the RETREAT! Payment plan options are available.

When you click on the buy button, you can choose which option you’d like. If you need help with funding, please get in touch. I have a scholarship option for someone in need.
