Creative Soul Seasonal Women’s Circles
Our job in this lifetime is not to shape ourselves into some ideal we imagine we ought to be, but to find out who we already are and become it. – Steven Pressfield
Have you been looking for a community where you can connect with conscious, creative women, journal for self-exploration, have conversations that matter and amp up to truly thrive in the second half of life?
If so, join our seasonal women’s circles (Note: Due to Covid-19, we are currently meeting via Zoom).
Creative Soul Circles might be for you if you want to:
- Live the second half of life with greater authenticity, creativity and aliveness
- Journal to uncover your inner wisdom
- Join a soulful women’s community
- Have deep, enriching conversations about what matters
- Find grounding and creative renewal
- Intentionally craft what’s next for you
- Have fun, laugh and recharge in a lighthearted ambiance
- Become part of the Creative Soul Community, a larger group of conscious, creative women in Austin who stay connected through women’s circles, a private Facebook community, special gatherings and friendships.
We have busy lives. That’s why these gatherings, similar to mini-retreats, are so essential.Women often walk in frazzled from the day… and walk out more peaceful, clear and energized.
Who comes to these Circles?
There are a wide variety of women here, including entrepreneurs, therapists, yogis, coaches, retirees, singers, photographers, organizers, writers, teachers, various professionals and more. What they all have in common is a desire for inner exploration and open-hearted communication. One of the most common comments I get is about how quickly people feel welcomed and at home in this community.
To get on the waiting list for the next round of circles, or to more immediately get one-on-one coaching around life, writing or creativity issues, go here.
Carolyn has a talent for taking a topic to explore it all in a deeper way
It may sound strange to say, but although there’s a short reading for each Circle, it’s not really about the book. Carolyn has a talent for taking a topic, widening it with poetry and other resources, and developing questions for us to explore it all in a deeper way. On my own I might superficially read a passage; but in these Circles, I gain insights that often lead to transformation.
Really appreciate the safe, calm and relaxed space that you create
I’m so very happy to have met you and joined the Women’s Circle. You do such a lovely job of facilitating, guiding and teaching us – I really appreciate the safe, calm and relaxed space that you create and hold for us. Thank you for a fun, fascinating and expansive year. I’m looking forward to seeing you again at the next Circle, and the one after that, and after that!
Tremendous impact on my life choices and future
When I started the Creative Soul Circle, I had no idea it would have such a tremendous impact on my life choices and my future. I had just left a very stressful corporate job and was exhausted, lacking inspiration and just plain blah. Yet I found something powerful about the way Carolyn creates meaning through community, writing and soul searching. This led me to re-examine my priorities and desires in a way I had not done before.
As a result of the Circle, not only did I find like-minded women, I found myself. I am currently in graduate school full time, pursuing a Masters in Marital and Family Therapy. I also have begun painting after a very long hiatus. This experience has been a window opener for me and a refreshing new way to be in this “age” of life. Highly recommended!
It feels good to remember who I am
During the Creative Soul Women’s Circles, I have reflected on what is important to me and have shifted my default thinking and actions back to what makes my heart sing and tickles my joy chord. For those few hours on a Wednesday night, I give myself permission to deviate from the “expected” mode of being and operating by igniting what is true and key to my core. I am not always able to sustain these moments – life draws me back to what I think is expected of me. But finding a reprieve to nurture and feed my soul is a God send. It serves to remind me of my true self and allows me to feel empowered. It feels good to remember who I am at my center and to selflessly applaud, acknowledge and honor the beautiful, powerful and loving being that I am.
I love your soft, tender, wise, open heart
Carolyn, I love your soft, tender, wise, open heart. You have a quiet power – steeped in wisdom and openness – and a bounty of kindness. I feel safe and warm in your presence, like I can be real, authentic and vulnerable because you are that way with yourself. I feel grateful for this gift!
