* Rooted Circle *

An online embodiment circle for women in midlife
who are longing to reconnect with their body and its wisdom

* Resourcing * Embodiment * Circling *

The Rooted Circle is a small online embodiment circle for women in midlife.
A soft space to gather.
A steady, anchoring rhythm.
An invitation to slow down and tune in.

Rooted is a circle of practice. An intentional and dedicated space for unlearning old ways and practicing new ways together. New ways of relating to ourselves; our body and its wisdom, our felt sensations and experiences, our inner resources and guidance, our authenticity and feeling of empowerment. 

In Rooted we gather around:

• deepening awareness around mind-body connection 
• intentional, body-based resourcing that builds capacity in the body, nervous system, and inner world over time
• guided embodiment practices 
• practicing moving from survival mode and into a state of felt safety and aliveness
• cultivating curiosity, non-judgement, support, and self-support 
• embodied conversations around how to live our lives from a place of being deeply rooted in our body, our inner wisdom, our core values, and our truest self  
• sharing and witnessing in circle with other women 

Rooted is an anchor point. A gentle space of sharing, witnessing, deep listening, and support. 

The circle centers care, curiosity, respect, and non-judgement.  

Monthly calls in Rooted

There are two monthly gatherings in Rooted.
All calls are unrecorded, to ensure the sacred intimacy and confidentiality of the circle.

Each gathering includes a gentle guided grounding practice as well as space for each member to tune into what their body is holding. There is also space for members to share observations, stories, and experiences about reconnecting with yourself and practicing navigating your life in more embodied ways.

In addition to this, the two monthly calls are rooted in the following (flexible) framework:

* Rooting Deeper (90 minutes), first gathering of the month  

Guided embodiment and gentle movement practices to support us in connecting and reconnecting with our body and our inner world. Together we slow down and listen to what is present in the body. We lean into gentle guided exploration and allow ourselves to just be with ourselves, in movement.

We land softly with sharing and witnessing. 

* Embodied Conversations (90 minutes), second gathering of the month

A facilitated conversational call rooted in embodied awareness. Together, we explore what it looks like to live a conscious and embodied life; a life where we root deeper into our body, our values, our natural pace, our joy, our hope, and our inner aliveness while untangling from the old systems and ways around us that do not cultivate connection, tending, and embodied presence. 

Members are encouraged to bring questions, stories, and wonderings around embodied practices, embodied living, and untangling from the systems in embodied, conscious ways. Lise shares her embodied wisdom and guidance in response to member questions.

Circle format

Circle gatherings are online via Zoom. All calls are unrecorded.

In between gatherings, members are connected in a group chat in the Signal app. The group chat is a space to share, connect, and support each other.  

We gather to circle twice per month for 90 minutes. (Usually on the first and second Thursday in even weeks of each month, though sometimes with a few adjustments due to holidays etc.)

This circle is an ongoing closed circle. This means that when the doors close on September 10th, they stay closed for a long time (last time the doors were open was in May 2025). The closed format is an intentional way of helping to create steadiness and trust within the circle and a deeper connection between the circle members.

The members of the circle are invited to recommit to the circle every 3 months and are encouraged to join on an ongoing basis, to help cocreate steadiness and momentum in the circle. Members can step back for a season or two if needed and still be invited to the following season. Members commit to the circle for one season at a time (a season is 3 months (6 gatherings), following the quarters of the calendar year).

This circle is for women looking to be part of an ongoing women’s circle and to have an ongoing circle practice in their life. If you are just looking to join a circle for a few months as a one-off, this is not the circle for you.

Who is the Rooted Circle for? 

This circle is for women longing to cultivate a deeper connection with themselves and the wisdom living in their body and in their inner world. Those longing to lean deeper into embodiment practices, gentle movement, and conscious body connection. Those curious to explore embodied conversations around unlearning the old ways of pushing through, ignoring, and disconnecting from the body’s capacity and wisdom. Those wanting to reconnect with and remember our natural state of deep embodied self-connection and knowing.

Rooted is for women longing for a supportive circle space where they can explore embodiment awareness and practices and gather with other women who are also learning / unlearning and practicing more embodied ways of being and navigating life. 

Rooted is for the heart-led women, the seekers, the poets, the outsiders, the sensitive ones, the intuitives, the creative souls, the changemakers, the quiet rebels.

Rooted might be a good fit for you if you are:

– looking for a gentle space to deepen your self-connection and embodiment practices

– curious, open, willing to learn and practice

– ready and willing to grow your self-connection and self-awareness

– longing for a life that feels slower, more grounded, and more alive

Rooted is not for you if you are:

– looking for quick-fixes

– not curious, open, or willing to explore and practice  

– not willing to share your reflections and parts of your process with the circle

– not interested in being part of an ongoing circle

I was recently a guest on the Bridging the Shift podcast where I talked about my journey to somatic healing and circling. In the interview, I also share about the Rooted Circle. You can listen to the episode here:
