our story

Hi, we're Anna and Dario.
We've been holding space for communities doing deep inner work - through ceremonies, workshops, and transformational practices.
We kept noticing the same truth: one powerful experience isn't enough. A retreat or ceremony can open you - but it's how you live the next Tuesday morning that actually changes your life.
Sacred Circle is our answer.
It's a steady place to come back to yourself, map your inner world with parts work, and practice simple tools that fit real days - together, in community.

Current cohort
is open!
If this cohort doesn't work for you - stay in touch - we will be launching new circles soon
what this is
A small-group coaching space for people who are doing powerful inner work - ceremonies, retreats, breathwork, therapy - and want the changes to actually stick.
We blend parts work (IFS), transformational coaching, gentle breathwork, journaling, ritual experience, and community witnessing.
So those big insights don't just fade - they become how you actually talk to yourself, set boundaries, and show up.
WHO THIS IS FOR
If you keep thinking, “I felt so clear… what happened?”, this is for you.
If your inner critic pulls you back into old loops, this is for you.
You seek structure to grow in a safe, respectful space.
You’re ready for practical tools you’ll actually use in busy weeks.
You know change is easier (and way more fun) when you're not doing it alone.
If you’re ready to turn insight into real, everyday change, this is for you!
(Our circles offer coaching, practice, and community support - it isn’t psychotherapy or medical care. If you’re navigating something acute, write us and we’ll discuss your situation and share thoughtful referrals.)
why this works
-
From “aha” to everyday.
That retreat clarity? It fades when you're back in your kitchen Tuesday morning. We help you turn that opening into small weekly steps - simple practices, tiny promises, gentle follow-through - until it's just how you are now.
-
A kinder way to hear yourself.
Inside you live many voices - the pusher, the doubter, the critic, the brave one. We help you notice who's talking, soften the harsh ones, and choose your next step with more kindness and less "should."
-
Tools you can use anywhere.
Nothing elaborate. Light breathwork and inner check-ins you can do at your desk, before a difficult conversation, or in the bathroom at a family gathering :).
-
Held together - in community.
Change sticks when someone sees you doing it. Being witnessed by a caring group makes progress feel real and keeps you steady when old loops call you back.

what you will get
-
A kinder inner dialogue. You'll recognize which part is talking (the critic? the pusher? the procrastinator?) and respond with care instead of getting hijacked. More calm leadership when things get messy.
-
A steady circle. You won’t be doing this alone; being witnessed makes change real.
-
Breathwork you’ll actually use. Short resets and pauses you can do anywhere.
-
A clear integration path. Systematic next steps for your inner work and relationships - so insight becomes action.
-
Regenerative habits. Small practices that protect your energy and keep momentum.
hear from past participants
Last circle, someone came in struggling with the same loop - big openings in ceremony, then back to the grind, the clarity gone by Thursday. Her inner critic was relentless. Over seven weeks, she started recognizing when the critic was driving. Not fighting it, just noticing. "Oh, there you are again." She learned what that part was protecting, why it showed up so loud.
She could catch it earlier. The harshness softened. She started making small choices from a calmer place - how she responded to her partner, what she said yes to at work.
Nothing dramatic. Just steady. She told us: "I finally feel like I'm living more from that open place, not just visiting it."
That's what we mean by everyday change.
how we work
(tools you'll use)
-
Deep Transformational Coaching - guided conversations that surface patterns and turn insight into doable steps (no fixing, no pressure).
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS-informed) - a simple and deep way to meet your “parts” with more kindness and less judgment.
-
Journaling (short + doable) - weekly prompts to check in, explore qualities of Self-leadership, and notice what’s working.
-
Breathwork (light + accessible) - connecting practices to settle the body and clear the noise in a fun format.
why we use ifs for this work (in our own words)
Internal Family Systems Model or IFS - is a therapeutic model created over 40 years ago.
IFS gives us a kind way to listen inside.
We all have different “parts” - the one that pushes, the one that worries, the one that judges, the one that knows. When you can tell who’s speaking, the inner tug-of-war settles.
Your self-talk softens, the critic eases, and the next small step becomes clear. Big insights stop fading and start showing up in everyday choices - how you speak to yourself, how you set a boundary, how you move through a tough day.
Conversations get simpler and warmer because you’re less reactive inside. Most of all, nothing about you needs fixing; every part has a role, and with care it can relax.
IFS plays beautifully with what you already do - ceremony work, breathwork, yoga, or other practices - so your growth feels steady and focused.

Safety and scope
This is group coaching and education, not psychotherapy or medical care. Some practices (like certain breathwork) aren’t suitable for everyone (e.g., cardiovascular conditions, pregnancy, glaucoma). Please consult your doctor. You can always modify or sit out. We uphold clear boundaries, consent, and confidentiality norms. We reserve the right to select participants to ensure a cohesive and safe container for everyone.
