Owning the Conversations We Avoid: Reclaiming Wholeness
A 3-Day Deep Dive | 2 Days In-Person + 1 Reconvening Call
When you know yourself, you own your mind.
When you own your mind, you direct your nervous system.
When you direct your nervous system, you create your reality.
Some of the most important conversations we avoid are the ones we refuse to have with ourselves.
Let’s dive in to the tough conversations that liberate us, together.
Knowing your Self liberates you to reclaim your wholeness
What gets in the way of us knowing ourselves is stories. About who we were, who we should be, and what society thinks is important. We tell stories about what life and relationships should look like when the truth of our experience is different.
But because we never learned to feel safe in revealing the truth, we hold on to it. We massage it. We hope that something will change without us doing anything.
Yet somewhere deep within, we know: I must take ownership of my internal conversations so that I free myself to create a different reality.
This conversation over three days is about giving voice to all the things we sense but don't give ourselves permission to own out loud. It's about noticing the 'small stuff' as well as the ‘big’. It’s about asking ourselves the tough questions with no answers. It’s about the deep dive into the forbidden land so that we intentionally bring light to the darkness.
Because your body knows when “it” is inauthentic.
The conversations we avoid
We all have conversations we avoid. Things we live with every day, lodged in our nervous systems, but don't dare speak out loud.
The death in the family that disappeared into silence. The burden of responsibility for raising younger siblings when we were still children ourselves. The rage at our mothers for abandoning us to their neediness. The intergenerational incest we experienced but no one talked about.
But the conversations we avoid don't have to be dramatic.
It can be the resentment toward the child you love deeply. The relief you felt when someone died. The marriage you don't actually want. The disgust toward someone you're supposed to love. The desire for a life that might disappoint everyone around you.
The thing you know to be true but have learned you are not allowed to say.
These are the conversations we're going to have.
How big are you willing to go?
How good are you willing to have it?
Whose permission do you need to live it?
I created this experience for us all to discover what becomes possible when we embrace the wholeness that owns the taboo.
I AM far more capable and resourceful than the stories I tell myself.
When I embrace the larger context of I AM, , nothing that arises within me is greater than my capacity to engage it. My life enlivens me. My choices support me. My strategies flow effortlessly. In that, I become the safety within which what was once unspeakable can finally be owned.
What you consider taboo is not something to fear, hide from, or hold inside.
It is an invitation to evolve.
Our willingness to confront what we have considered unconfrontable is how we reclaim more of our wholeness.
How our time together will unfold
This is a facilitated group conversation oriented within the WEL-Systems® paradigm. It will involve individual CODE Model™ Coaching within the group and invite you to engage Quantum TLC™ to process your triggers. Once you do, you free yourself from having to hold on.
Since there is no prescribed agenda to follow, what presents in the room becomes the material for our exploration. We will follow the conversation where it wants to go as we unpack what it means to live a life of wholeness.
Our conversations will happen indoors, with tea and snacks, around the fire. I will provide art materials to keep your hands engaged while you process, as well as a journal for whatever you might wish to capture from the conversations.
There will also be plenty of space to step away, go for a walk, take in the falling leaves, and simply be with yourself and whatever is moving within you.
Because we are able to begin at this depth from the moment we gather, a shared foundation matters. The Decloaking & Living Authentically audio is an essential prerequisite for our time together. If you don't already have access, the audio will be provided with your registration, with the expectation that you listen to it in full before we gather in October.
The crucible of our gathering
Cocooned together in the woods, we will engage in deep and intimate conversations about what it means to liberate ourselves from the unspeakable. The shedding of the leaves mirrors our own letting go of what no longer serves us, their changing colours reflecting how spectacular the process can be. The fire invites letting go; the water invites depth. All of it, part of the process of reclaiming our wholeness.
The month of integration
We gather in person because there is power in immersing ourselves in the process together for two full days, with space in between to wonder, explore, and allow what presents to unfold.
Then you go home and live your life, noticing what shows up, what moves differently, and what becomes available.
The month between our gathering and reconvening is an intentional part of the experience, with full group email support so you are never alone in what emerges. On November 17, we reconvene on Zoom to complete our experience together.

Is this for you?
This experience is for the woman who knows there are conversations within herself she has been unwilling, or perhaps unable, to have.
You don't need to know what will emerge, nor do you need to arrive ready to say everything out loud. You do need to be willing to meet yourself honestly, engage what presents, and discover what becomes possible when you stop looking away.
You don't need to be fearless. You need to be willing.
Who am I to hold this conversation?
As the Guardian of the Vision of the WEL-Systems® Institute and a Certified CODE Model™ Coach, I have devoted my life to having the tough conversations with women who want to free themselves from their stories.
Despite my Master’s in Criminology and policy analyst background, I entered the WEL-Systems paradigm “an addict.” I don’t facilitate conversations I’ve studied — I live this.
I’m not here as an expert who knows what’s true for you — I’m here to ask higher order questions that create and facilitate the conditions in which you can discover what's true for you.

What Shifts
Who This Is For
You're the kind of woman who:
Knows that becoming more yourself is the answer
Is willing to take the bull by the horns and own it
Wants to understand what's underneath the shoulds
Understands that your choices are your power
The Work
Owning the Taboo, Reclaiming Wholeness is a deep dive into everything that gets in the way of you owning the truth of your experience.
We'll explore everything from the obvious to the insidious. This conversation is about taking ownership of all the things you sense but don't give yourself permission to own out loud.
The work is:
Reclaiming what gets in the way of your authentic expression of Self
Understanding how shame, rage, despair, and fear manifest in your life
Learning what it takes to choose authenticity in the face of external pressure
Building the capacity to hear your own truth—and trust it
No external noise. No AI. Just the truth of your experience, engaged in the moment you are in.
The Promise
My intention for this group is for all of us to get clear on one thing:
I AM the wholeness that owns the taboo. When I know this, because the context is big enough, nothing can hurt me. My life enlivens me. My choices support me. My strategies flow effortlessly.

Removed all the threat-building and teaching. Now it assumes she's already awake and invites her into the work.
