From Lori and Andreea

Center Circle offers women an opportunity to experience a variety of ways to interact with others and ourselves; to get to know ourselves better and continually transform to the newest version of ourselves. Every new day brings an opportunity to change. This circle is a place for you to feel safe to be and discover who you are.

Bring whatever is going on for you or leave it at the doorstep, either way. Practice whatever you want to learn in a safe environment until it feels like a part of you and emerges into every part of your life. Bring the questions you have about anything. Talk about what's important for you right now and what you've always dreamed of doing. Open to new experiences, and in the meantime perhaps discover a new aspect of your self. Relate to your life in fresh and unpredictable ways. Make new friends, create bonds, find common ground. Practice co-creating community. Have a place to go to continue to become the best YOU, you can be.

Get time away from all those other things in life. Think of it as your sacred space. "Your" time. Learn that whatever feels right IS right. Simply feel yourself loving and being loved in your authenticity.

Your Artist Self


To be an artist is just as natural to a human being as breath. We all have a "creative" side to our life and express it in unique and varied ways. What is yours? How does your inner creator show up? How often do you and your artist self meet? - Every day, a couple times during the week, or...has it been a while? Regardless of the answer, begin the fun practice of watching for and identifying all the ways you are creative.

You may surprise yourself. To be artist does not necessarily mean that you are a painter, a singer, a photographer, or a designer, etc..it just means you use your creative sense in your life. For example, do you cook without a recipe? Do you garden and arrange the flowers in a certain pattern as you plant them? Do you think up new, innovative ways to market a product or your work? Do you have fun decorating your home? Do you make up stories as you tuck your child in at night? Do you daydream your life into being? Whatever way you connect to your artist self, it is the place where you feel a sense of joy, purpose and timelessness. Below are some fun guidelines for renewing your relationship to that part of your self. Read them and see if at least one captures your attention. Enjoy!
