founder and visionary
Meet
Michelle Young, MA
I'm a mom, a high priestess, a coach, a mentor, and a soul midwife. I am a woman devoted to being all of who I am.
I am also an entrepreneur, a writer, a life and leadership coach, a yogi, and a woman gatherer. For twenty years I have been leading and serving women in the deepest of ways. My most important education came from owning and running a women's yoga and healing center for ten years in California. It was there I had a front row seat to who we are as modern awakening women. I had the honor of witnessing all of our pain, and fear, and worry, along with what we are longing for and missing in our lives. I understand who we are and what we need. My soul's purpose is to bring us together in sacred community so we can heal and rise as the powerful radiant women I know we are.
I have learned that...
Women need each other.
After earning a Master's Degree, studying the Divine Feminine for decades, sitting at the feet of the most amazing spiritual teachers, feminine leaders, and entrepreneurs, after leading hundreds of circles and thousands of powerful women in sacred community, I have learned that what women want and what women need is simple. We need each other.
The world is at a turning point. We are feeling the call to step into our truth and our full expression. We are ready to break patterns, speak our voice, take up space, start over, and bring our gifts to the world. The way we find the courage to do this is with and through each other.
my why...
I am here to become my fullest self for my daughter.
I lost my own mother to breast cancer at a young age. My feminine lineage is one of over-giving and self-sacrifice. When my mom passed away, I vowed to find another way to live, one where I am at the center of my own life. One where I break ancient patterns, and light a new path for my daughter. I believe this hurting world needs us women to heal our ancient wounds and remember the Divine Feminine within us, so that our children do not carry these ancient patterns forward. We don't need anymore generations of women living from depletion and sacrifice. I am here to help end this. We heal our ancient wounds through each other.
The Practice is...
devotion to yourself
It's carving out time and space for your needs and desires.
leading from your truth
It's the deepest honoring of what is real and true in your heart.
sacred feminine sisterhood
It's healing and rising through the magical connection of sacred community.
in this community we are...
Awakened women seeking sacred feminine community, real connection, and a more authentic life.
We are mothers, grandmothers, leaders, visionaries, care-takers, married, divorced, healers, space holders, and community gatherers. We are the full range of Woman. We have experienced life, been brought to our knees, felt death, grief, and the deepest love. We are strong, resilient, and fierce. We are every color, every shape, every size, and every expression. The thing that unites us is the desire for sacred, authentic, feminine community and to live a life outside of patriarchal rules.
to gather as the powerful women that we are. To remember our truth and to pave a new path forward.
I am here
to speak our voice and use our gifts to change the world.
