Flourish & Bloom Collective is a supportive group that meets weekly via Zoom. Through connection, inspiration, practice, and reflection, we invite ourselves and each other to know ourselves more deeply, to love ourselves more completely, and, little-by-little, to grow and transform.
In this group, we open space for Transformation through…
Connection: We spend time to connect with Self, Others, and the Natural World
Inspiration & Wisdom: We receive inspiration from each other, from the Natural World, and from wise teachers through articles and other content
Stillness & Reflection: We practice together through guided meditation, journaling, and other modalities.
Participation & Gentle Accountability: We show up authentically, share with each other, learn from each other, and contribute to the ongoing creation of this community.
While your journey is yours alone, you don’t have to do it on your own. Being present together can smooth the path and light the way.
In the words of FBC Members:
"This gathering is the highlight of my week. Here we listen to each other, explore ideas, and support each others' personal journey stories. Katie provides wise guidance during this hour so that everyone is heard and has a voice."
"Flourish and Bloom Collective has inspired me, helped me grow, helped me heal, let me cry, comforted me and made me laugh. In other words, FBC has greatly enriched my life. I am so grateful."
“I felt I needed a more consistent and prolonged way of getting to know myself better, not always just scratching the surface in fits and starts. FBC gives me the time and space for sustained self-examination, to really think and meditate over the what, where, why, how, and who I am. Even though the work can be emotionally difficult, it’s been so enlightening and nourishing for me.”
"Since joining Flourish & Bloom Collective, I have made meaningful connections with others seeking to look inward, to bravely bring forward part of themselves that they have kept hidden. I feel my true authentic self beginning to blossom."
