INTERVIEW WITH CARI...

My clients are successful, strong women in long-term relationships facing persistent problems they're unsure how to solve. Despite their achievements, they're at a pivotal moment where they sense that their well-being, identity, and happiness are all on the line. I focus on the idea that their journey is broader than their relationships, and I help them realize that nobody is inherently skilled at relationships. By addressing these challenges head-on, they ignite a transformative process that positively impacts all areas of their lives.

A gathering is an opportunity for the women that want guidance and a safe space to connect with their authentic self. The women that attend the gathering may or may not have participated in a women’s/Sister circle before but are curious. Each gathering has a theme for the women to explore and process together. I incorporate spiritual practices that are non-religious and free from divination into the experience with rituals and ceremony as part of the experience. All the themes are opportunities to deepen your understanding of yourself, connect with the divine feminine and create more harmony in your relationship within and with others. There is no commitment to the circles and you can attend as many as you like and bring a friend(s). Each circle will be different and you may or may not see familiar faces among the women.

The distinction lies in the level of commitment and investment required. Circle programs are designed for individuals seeking a more profound engagement. These are tailored for those who wish to delve further into themes previously explored during gatherings, who seek consistent interactions with the same group to foster stronger bonds of support, and who are intrigued by cyclical living concepts. The Circle program entails a commitment of either 6 months or 1 year, featuring monthly meetings and calls. It's designed for those who are prepared for a more immersive experience within a small, dedicated group, embarking on a shared journey of depth and growth.

Participating in all of my services – from gatherings to circle programs and retreats – promises a bundle of positive outcomes that shape both your individual growth and your intimate relationships. Imagine gaining a deeper insight into your body's natural rhythms and emotions, leading to improved self-care, better productivity, and a balanced sense of well-being that extends to every facet of your life. This heightened awareness guides your decision-making, making you more adaptable and resilient in navigating life's twists and turns. But it's not just about you; it's about how these practices enhance your relationships. Envision better communication with your partner, where you understand each other's energy levels and emotional states, leading to more meaningful conversations at just the right times. The shared journey through gatherings, circle programs, and retreats amplifies your connection, creating quality time and mutual support that deepens your bond. Conflict resolution takes on an empathetic tone, and your holistic well-being benefits from this comprehensive approach. When you engage in this rhythmic experience across all my services, you're investing in a richer personal journey and elevating the harmony, connection, and fulfillment in your relationships.

I provide the flexibility of both virtual and in-person events to cater to your preferences and convenience. To stay updated on upcoming events and opportunities, I recommend subscribing to my weekly newsletter. This way, you'll be the first to know about the latest offerings and stay connected with our community. Crafting a secure and nurturing atmosphere is a fundamental pillar of my approach in both gatherings and circles. Drawing from my extensive experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am dedicated to fostering an environment where participants can openly share their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I establish clear guidelines that prioritize confidentiality, ensuring that each person's words are held with utmost respect and privacy.

My role is to help them see that it's not too late, they are in control of their destinies, and they are entirely deserving of their dreams. I draw a parallel between their journey and the process of crystallization that forms a diamond. Just as pressure and heat lead to the emergence of the diamond's beauty, their relationship challenges can serve as the catalyst for their own personal growth and self-discovery. Through my expertise and experience, I guide these women to recognize that relationships are mirrors reflecting our inner selves. I provide a safe space for them to explore their vulnerabilities, tap into their authenticity, and reconnect with their true essence. I help them understand that it's not about blaming their partners, but about embracing their own role in the relationship dynamic.

In this context, the answer is No. I primarily serve as a guide, offering guidance and coaching to individuals who attend my events (gatherings, circles, or retreats). Although I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New York State with a background in mental health, my role during these events is to provide guidance and coaching rather than therapy. It's important to note that therapy is a distinct practice, and I offer it separately only to those who have been referred to me. If, during our time together, it becomes clear that therapy would be beneficial, I will gladly provide a referral to a qualified therapist or mental health professional. However, within this context, I do not offer therapy services.

Cyclical living refers to synchronizing your lifestyle with the innate rhythms of life. It involves adapting routines, self-care practices, and decision-making strategies to align with natural cycles. This could include tailoring activities to your menstrual phases, adjusting habits with changing seasons, recognizing daily energy fluctuations for optimal productivity, and even aligning intentions with moon phases. By embracing cyclical living, you harmonize your life with the flow of nature, enhancing well-being and balance in various aspects of your daily experience.

Central to this safe space is a commitment to inclusivity and acceptance. Regardless of background or beliefs, every participant is welcomed and valued. I promote active listening and open dialogue, allowing for diverse perspectives to flourish harmoniously. Integrating spiritual practices that are non religious and void of divination, I provide tools for personal growth that resonate with each individual's unique journey. Ultimately, my goal is to create an arena for authentic self-exploration, intuition cultivation, and the forging of meaningful connections among participants who share a similar path of growth and self-discovery.

You can begin your transformative journey by attending one of my gatherings, where you'll have the chance to experience the supportive and growth-focused environment I offer. These gatherings are designed to provide insight, connection, and tools for self-discovery. From there, you can explore my circle programs, which offer a deeper and more immersive experience with consistent interactions and cyclical living exploration. And for those seeking a profound seasonal transformation, consider joining one of my seasonal retreats, where you'll embark on a soul-enriching journey to connect with your true essence amidst the beauty of nature.
