When Tender things arise...
Hi my love,
I created this page for you for a couple of reasons...
The first is to give you some tools to navigate tender things in your life, in your own relationships, in a way that honors and supports Sacred Relationship — helping to prevent more discord and conflict, and helping to create more Connection, more understanding, and more Heart-based repair.
The second — is so that, if anything should ever arise here, while you’re immersed in these deep Waters with me and other women, we have a process to navigate that together, too.
The Tender Places Altar
The goal of the Tender Places Altar is to help you take a few moments, before expressing from places of Trigger or Reactivity — so that the conversation can be a Healing one (as much as possible) instead of one that creates more pain, misunderstanding, conflict, or additional Wound.
The process is based in the philosophy of Sacred Relationship:
Thoughtful expression, thoughtful listening, and heartfelt Co-Creation between two Sacred Hearts — especially when there are tender feelings, touched Wounds, or Triggers involved.
When we have a supportive tool to help us have those tender conversations, to help us find repair if possible, it gives us a softly-lit path to follow to help us find what we actually are most deeply wanting in our relationships:
To feel heard,
to feel understood,
to feel met,
to feel cared for,
and to — as best as we can — support both of our needs.
(In the same way, if there is something tender that has come up in this space — with me or with other women here — this Sacred Relationship process will also help me meet your Heart, your tender places, and your deepest needs more fully as a mentor, teacher and guide, as well.)
Loving you infinitely...
How the Tender Places Altar works
There are 3 resources for you here...
A downloadable PDF to take with you and practice with in your journal, in your own processing, and in your own relationships;
A brief audio walking you through the Sacred Relationship process;
A Typeform version of the same process — if the tender things you’re experiencing have arisen in the programs I guide (with other women, or with me).
This will help you share your feelings, experiences, and needs — and will help me to meet you in them. We can find some time to connect in voice after you’ve expressed your Heart in these questions.
Please let these questions act as a handful of Soulful journal prompts — that allow you to tap into your Heart, your Soul, your soft Animal Body, and allow us to meet one another there.
