The Call of the Fire:

A 6 Month Transformational Leadership Program





 


Do you know how powerful you are? 


Here’s the truth: Every woman is born with inherent power.

It’s your birthright, gifted to you from the moment you took your first breath. But unfortunately, far too many of us have lost sight of our own authentic power and self-worth.

Maybe you’ve sacrificed yourself, little by little, to a relationship that’s expected you to compromise your sense of self.

Maybe you got lost after years of changing diapers, arranging playdates, or mindlessly shepherding children to and fro.

Or maybe you've been in pursuit of a career that you believed would bring fulfillment, but has ultimately left you working long hours in service to a goal you're no longer sure you believe in.

 What if it's not you?

Do you blame yourself? Do you think if you just worked harder, or smarter, that you would show up in the world more powerfully? 

Well, here’s a dirty little secret that no one talks about: the world you’re living in was never designed for you.

Think about it for a moment.

The government. Academic institutions. The business world. The healthcare system. Religious institutions. The entertainment industry.

Not even one was designed with the equal participation or even the input of women. So if you ever find yourself struggling to feel as if you belong, it’s not surprising.

Claim your power


But here’s the thing: once we really know this, everything changes.

We get to reject the narratives that are holding us back.

We get to rewrite the script.
 
And we get to finally claim our strength and power on our own terms.

This isn’t a power you need to go out and seek – quite the opposite. The fire within is already burning.

The Call of the Fire is an intimate, 6-month group coaching program designed to help you experience your true power at a deeper level than you’ve ever known before.


While patriarchal systems of domination have taught us that power is about control, hierarchy and the hoarding of resources, through The Call of the Fire you’ll learn that there’s a different, older, more time-tested way to understand and employ power. Once we know this, there’s no turning back.


Rooted in the rich, yet largely hidden herstorical and mythological record of the ancient feminine, The Call of the Fire will introduce you to the secret roots of female power we all have encoded deep within us.

And via group coaching, experiential exercises and more, help you access these roots to live your fullest, most unfettered life.

Step through the doorway 

The Call of the Fire is designed to help you step through the doorway to the most authentic, complete version of yourself. In this 6-month journey, you’ll:
  • Explore 6 distinct facets of female power, each backed by historical research evidence
  • Embrace the “power play” by utilizing this newfound knowledge to turn the tables on traditional notions of patriarchal power and begin showing up in the world more authentically
  • Have a direct experience of your own power, via movement practices, visualizations, meditations, group activities, and much more
  • Participate in a loving and supportive community collectively dedicated to our shared growth and transformation

Above all, we will leverage the power of the group field to dive deep and be witnessed fully for who we are, allowing the property of emergence to support our becoming.


Because our power is already within us, we simply need the dedicated space and the tools to invite it fully forward.

On our journey, we’ll draw upon numerous strategies to claim it, including:
  
  • Sovereignty Guides - powerful sacred female figures, drawn from history and mythology, who will help us envision what it means to truly live into our power and sovereignty
  • Transformational practices rooted in creativity, play, energy work, ritual, ceremony and even a little bit of magic
  • Embodiment practices, including dance, yoga, and other intuitive movement exercises to tap into the wisdom of the body
  • Yogic philosophy, creative writing and journaling exercises, and much more

The Experience  

Kick-off Retreat:
Big Island, Hawaii
October 15-19, 2025

We begin our journey on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. During our four nights together, we’ll set the container for transformation with an opening fire ceremony, then continue by getting to know each other in community as we set our intentions for our evolution and the experience ahead.


We’ll also move our bodies via dance and yoga, meditate, spend time together in nature, and enjoy fireside conversations that weave in mythologic perspectives of women’s power - plus eat delicious vegetarian meals, rest, and dream big dreams for our futures.


The  Power Play
October 29, 2025  
- April 29, 2026

Following our retreat, we’ll hold twice-monthly community gatherings via Zoom beginning Thursday, September 19.

Each month we’ll explore a different facet of female power, with each theme supported by storytelling, group lessons and conversations, movement practices, reflection and journaling prompts, and other home exploration assignments.

An Intimate Container for Growth and Transformation 

We’ll stay connected to each other throughout the journey, sharing dialogue, writings and more via our private course portal.

You'll also create powerful 1:1 connections with other program participants, and experience two individual coaching sessions, scheduled at your convenience during the program.
