It’s no wonder…

• We don’t feel safe to authentically feel and express our pleasure for fear of the way people will respond to us.
• We’re unsure of what our purpose is, or afraid of the judgment that might come from others if we fully step into it.
• We shy away from our power because power has been wielded for centuries in such threatening and destructive ways.

We think staying small keeps us safe. 

…which is why I created The Collective.

The Collective is unlike any other community of women you’ve ever experienced.

But The Collective isn’t about fitting in.
The Collective is a place where you BELONG.

The Collective is a place where you can talk about anything.
A place to whine, vent, celebrate, cry, feel joy, be needy.
A place to celebrate successes, wins, and courageous risks.
A place to lean into aspects of yourself you didn’t know existed.
A place to birth new ideas, ways of being, to live into your full potential.

The Collective is a place that holds all of who you are.

My story

When I was a little girl, I had a strong connection to pleasure through the sense of awe I felt for all of Life. I was blessed to grow up surrounded by nature: the sound of birds, the smells of the seasons changing, the beauty of abundant wildflowers in spring, the feel of the wind on my skin — these were my constant companions as a child.  Unfortunately, the people where we lived weren’t safe. I saw how other young girl’s innocent displays of sensuality were commodified in inappropriate ways, so I developed a fear of pleasure and sexual expression. My mother also had a classically second wave feminist view of women and power, in that she very much embraced the idea of women being independent.  While I value the strength she imparted on me, and see the value in being capable, she also imparted a defiant guardedness that left me defended and alone, not knowing how to ask for or receive support.

In my early 20’s I entered the world of exploratory sexuality and polarity teachings.  Much of what I encountered expanded my world, but I also found limitations in the realm of The Feminine being taught by men.  In this world I discovered I could let go and be adored, but I was also criticized for my strong opinions and clear sense of self as ‘unfeminine’.

I craved attention, and was afraid of attention; I knew I had big things to offer the world, and felt scared that others might judge me for my grand ambitions; I loved the quiet, simple life AND the wild all-night underground dance scene in San Francisco.  I wanted all of it, but I thought I had to choose.

For years I felt caught in a tug-of-war, trying to determine:  Was I ‘masculine’ or ‘feminine’?  Was I too purpose-driven, or not enough?  Where did my true power lie?

What I discovered through seeking and learning, through trial and error, through falling in love and having my heart broken, and ultimately through becoming a mother, the dissolution of my marriage, and losing everything I always thought I wanted — was that Pleasure, Purpose, and Power are within me, can never be taken from me, and are parts of me that are dependent on no external permission.

This is what I want to offer you: True Freedom.

Here’s the thing — I’ve been working with groups for 20 years, and I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt that our deepest transformation occurs in community.  I also know that I could talk ‘til the cows come home about the power of community & it might all still go in one ear & out the other, so here is what the actual members of The Collective had to say:
