Inclusive Circle for women
Embodied Woman: An 8-Week Journey
This group is an inclusive somatic and psychospiritual healing circle for women of all ages and gender identities who want to reconnect with themselves on a deeper level—beyond survival patterns and expectations of others—in mind, body, and spirit.
Many women, like you, come to me carrying patterns that began long before adulthood — patterns shaped in early relationships where your feelings were minimized, your autonomy was limited, your role was to stay small, agreeable, or emotionally responsible for others, while you were forced to stay hypervigilant to feel safe around unpredictable caregivers.
Many women I work with live with chronically activated nervous systems that feel normal — simply because it’s all they’ve ever known. The stress lives quietly within the body and is often unconscious and woven into daily life. Over time, this shows up as anxiety, feeling on edge, chronic worry, or stress that seems to come “out of nowhere.” The body remembers what the mind learned to adapt to because our bodies carry the imprint of early stress and trauma from growing up around conflict, unpredictability, emotional caretaking, or learning to be hyperaware, walk on eggshells, stay small, alert, or please people in order to feel safe in childhood.
This circle offers space to connect with others and to gently unwind those patterns and reconnect with your own inner authority, embodied wisdom, and sense of self.
This circle is for you if you:
-
Experience chronic self-doubt or second-guessing
-
Feel responsible for others’ emotions
-
Feel hypervigilant or the need to please others over yourself
-
Struggle with difficulty trusting yourself or your needs
-
Feel shame around anger, boundaries, or “selfishness”
-
Feel invisible, misunderstood, or emotionally alone
-
Feel a sense of being “too much” or “never enough”
- Feel disconnected from your body, emotions, intuition, or sense of self
This circle is for you if you were raised by:
-
Controlling or emotionally unpredictable caregivers
-
High-conflict or emotionally unsafe caregivers/dynamics
-
Parents who struggled with boundaries
-
Caregivers who made you feel love was conditional
-
Emotionally immature caregivers you had to “parent”
-
Caregivers who were not emotionally attuned to you and your needs
- Dysregulated parents or caregivers
This circle may benefit you in the following ways:
-
Increase your capacity to slow down and feel present
-
Feel calmer and more emotionally regulated
-
Reconnect with your body as a source of safety, wisdom, and truth
-
Deepen your connection to your inner wisdom and intuition
-
Release expectations others have placed on you
- Strengthen self-trust and boundaries to maintain your peace
-
Learning what YOU want in your life and how to put yourself first without guilt
-
Develop a greater sense of self and alignment
-
Release constant self-monitoring or second-guessing
-
Listen with ease to your needs and responding accordingly
-
Be witnessed without being analyzed or fixed (you are not broken)
Through gentle embodiment practices, guided reflection, nervous system support, metaphyical practices, and sacred group connection, you’re invited to slow down, tune in, and explore healing in a way that feels safe, attuned, and honoring of your lived experience.
This is not a skills-based group. It is a space for remembering, softening, and reclaiming — where healing happens through presence, relationship, and embodied awareness.
My intention is for you to leave Embodied Woman healing circle feeling more connected to your body, clearer in your sense of self, and less burdened by patterns that once felt automatic or were developed as coping mechanisms. Women who have been part of my past psychospiritual groups said they experienced increased self-trust, emotional regulation, inner peace, and a clearer sense of who they are.
I know you have a busy life and taking time out of your evening to focus on yourself may feel selfish or impossible. I also know the positive impact your own healing will have on your life and relationships. I promise it’s worth it!
You are invited to come as you are with an open heart and open mind. All parts of you are welcome in this sacred circle.
It’s time to develop a deeper connection with your feminine, intuitive, and spiritual self while stepping into the truth of who you are.
What Makes Embodied woman: A journey back to self Different from other groups?
I, Dawn K. Gibson, LCSW, am a somatic and trauma trained psychotherapist who brings clinical expertise together with complementary and unconventional practices. When I guide healing circles I incorporate psychotherapy (including somatic psychotherapy) with mindfulness practices, oracle cards, guided visualizations, energy work, intuitive and angel guidance, crystals, and other divination tools and practices. Each group session is unique and based on the group’s needs. Practices in this group are invitational, consent-based, and adapted to meet you where you are.
I am also a middle-aged cis-gender white woman and I have many years lived experience in this systemically oppressive world. I’ve been through a spectrum of trauma and challenging personal experiences, including very low lows and wonderfully high highs. I’ve worked through trauma, anxiety, body-image issues, and low self-esteem and I know it’s possible for you to do the same.
When we release the box of expectations our loved ones put us in and tune into our inner knowing, we learn to trust ourselves, heal within, and become more connected to the essense of who we are. Our healing has a ripple effect on everyone around us!
