26 May Craving Connection? Me too and I’d love your suggestions for what we could do together :)

To be honest, I’ve been craving community for a long time. I just haven’t been able to find it.

​

I am not just creating it for others but seeking it for myself.

​
The kind of connection that’s honest and nourishing.
The kind that says: Come as you are.​
No performing. No producing. Just being.

​

A couple of weeks ago, I hosted the Free to Be Me retreat at my home with nine incredible women. And honestly?

It felt sacred.

​
We connected in such a genuine way. We journaled. We shared silence and laughter (and some yummy food).
We went off on our own to reflect several times during the day. Some women tucked into quiet corners, while others wandered out onto the deck into the sun. It was so good-

​
Each one found her way back to herself.

​

And I thought:
​This is what I want more of.
This is what we all need more of.

​

So that’s the longing I have to create spaces where people can genuinely connect.
​Creating spaces where women can return to themselves—and to each other.

Here’s where you’ll find those spaces:

​

The Womb​
Our monthly online meditation circle.
Each session is an invitation to rest, reflect, and reconnect.
​Next session: June 8 — Theme: Grace- register here to join or get the recording- https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/mHgvUMDwTo-IJ95s5LCb8w​

​

I hope to change up the format in the fall. I am thinking we will meet online to move through some reflections and have a chance to chat once a month. I will also send weekly meditations and reflection prompts with ways to dive a little deeper into the topic for that month. Also love to hear what you would love to see! Please hit reply :).

​

Free to Be Me (in person)​
This retreat returns in the fall and expands into a two-day gathering next spring.
Together, we’ll explore what it means to live with truth, freedom, and joy.

​

Dinners with Soul (in person)​
Launching this fall, intimate gatherings in cozy local restaurants.
Share some food and deep conversations. Nothing pretentious~
Just real conversation, real connection, and belly and soul nourishment.

In a world that moves fast and asks us to perform, these gatherings are a soft place to land.
They’re not about pleasing, performing or perfecting.
They’re about a chance to exhale and be all you.
And they’re the heart of the work I want to do.

I’m also dreaming up new ways to gather online that feel deeply connected and nourishing.
If you are craving something or have a spark of an idea, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s co-create what we’re all aching for.​

Thank you for being here.
Thank you for being part of this unfolding work.
​

You are such a gift.

​

With love,
​Leona

P.S. I wrote about having headaches lately and they still show up more often than I would prefer, but do not appear to be anything serious (given that I have a few brain tumours). Thank you for reaching out with your support.
