THIS SUNDAY!!! Come join us!

Women’s Circle this Sunday !
• Honouring the Seasonal Shift 🍂

As much as we try to hold onto summer hues and long warm evenings, the season is shifting — and I can honestly say… I think I’m ready for it.

There’s something sacred about this in-between time — when the air starts to carry a little chill, the leaves begin their slow turning, and our bodies naturally crave grounding, reflection, and change.

This Sunday, we gather in circle.

To connect.
To share what the summer has grown in us.
To prepare our minds, bodies and spirits for the transition into fall.
To gently let go of what we no longer want to carry forward.

✨ You don’t have to have it all figured out.
✨ You don’t even have to feel ready.
✨ You just need to show up as you are.

Come sit with sister, talk, laugh, shed, be held, and soften into what’s next.

If you’ve been craving connection — this is your sign.

📍 Women’s Circle, Outdoors if weather permits at my place, indoor in Owen Sound if not!
🗓 This Sunday
🕯 Theme: Preparing for the Seasonal Shift

Let me know if you’re coming — Mel & I can’t wait to gather with you.

✨ Four Years Sober Today ✨

Four years ago my life shifted in a way I couldn’t have imagined. What felt like rock bottom was really the doorway to something new. That choice to put down the drink was also the choice to start coming back to myself.

Sobriety has been so much more than not drinking. It has been about learning to sit with my feelings instead of running from them, finding my voice, setting boundaries, and choosing healing over patterns that no longer served me. It has been about facing the hard things and discovering that I am stronger and softer than I ever knew.

Part of this journey has also been a double-edged sword. Alongside the freedom and strength has been grief… especially in facing the realities of family, loss, and the truths I can no longer deny. I’ve had to learn not to run from that pain but to sit with it, and in doing so I’ve found that both grief and freedom can exist side by side.

These four years have given me clarity, strength, and a deeper connection to who I really am. They’ve shown me that healing is possible, even when it feels out of reach.

Today I’m simply grateful. Grateful for the courage to begin, grateful for the lessons along the way, and grateful to be here, living in a way that feels more true to me every single day. 💕💕💕

🌙 Women’s Circle 🌙
✨ A beautiful afternoon of connection, reflection, and shared energy in a heart-centered space. ✨

We invite you to gather with us in a space where women come together to pause, breathe, and simply be. There is something timeless, powerful, and deeply nourishing about sitting in circle… free of judgment, rooted in intention, and surrounded by women who truly see and honour one another ❤️

This is a place to exhale, to connect more deeply to yourself and others, and to remember you are not walking this path alone. Our time together is about slowing down, tuning in, and letting the magic of community hold you.

📅 Date: Aug 24th
🕯️ Time: 12-2
📍 Location: Brandy’s beautiful property just north of Jackson (rain back up in Owen Sound)
💖 Exchange: $25 (etransfer or cash)

🌸 Please bring:
• Something comfortable to sit on
• Water or your favourite drink
• Your journal if you’d like
• An open heart ❤️

Comment or message to reserve your spot. We can’t wait to share this space with you.

With love,
Mel & Brandy 💕
