INTRODUCING
The Altar: Reclaiming Your Feminine Fire
March 18 — April 22
The Altar: Reclaiming Your Feminine Fire invites you to gather with like-hearted women, perfectly aligning with the cosmic dance of the Libra Full Moon Lunar Eclipse and the Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse, and supported by a nourishing transition into earthy Taurus Season. This sacred container is crafted to help you reclaim your inner fire, transmute people-pleasing tendencies, embrace unapologetic independence, and explore healthier partnership dynamics (friendships, family, romantic, professional), while learning to lead with a heart wide open, both soft and strong.
Envision the season ahead as a time of transition, moving into spring. Just as nature awakens from its winter slumber, we too are awakening to the light within and around us. Feel the energy shifting, the warmth growing, and the potential blossoming.
Within this sacred space, expect a tapestry of experiences woven with intention and care. Rituals will immerse you in meaningful practices that honor your journey and connect you with your inner wisdom, grounding you in the present moment and fostering deep introspection. Explore the depths of your being, quieting the mind, connecting with your intuition, and cultivating inner peace.
Throughout the Eclipse Season, a Mercury Retrograde, and the transition into Taurus Season, you’ll journey into the depths of your soul, uncovering hidden truths, releasing what no longer serves you, and gaining clarity on your path forward. Practices and discussions will offer a deeper understanding of the cosmic energies at play during our time together, guiding you to align with these influences to support your personal growth and transformation.
Deeply rooted in practices that encourage self-expression, liberate yourself from old paradigms or societal expectations, and reconnect with your inner fire, embodying your newfound independence and healthy interdependence.
This Eclipse Season brings powerful astrological alignments: With the South Node in Libra, shed codependent tendencies, focusing on authenticity and truthfulness in relationships, even if it means relinquishing certain comforts and security. With the North Node in Aries, look inward when making decisions, trusting instincts, asserting oneself healthily, and embracing new directions, even if (especially if…) it means stepping away from the familiar.
Throughout our time together, you'll learn to embrace spontaneity, understand and trust your strengths, and honor your desires. Discover the power of being true to yourself, even if it means disappointing others. Moving from a season of fire to a season of rich earth, root into your own authenticity.
This program is about fostering strength and support, healing interpersonal dynamics forged by past wounds, and leading fiercely with love. Create a community that balances power with nurturing, fire with softness. Here, feel both empowered and deeply supported, taking ownership of your journey while being profoundly nourished.
If you're ready to rekindle your inner spark, liberate yourself from past patterns, and embrace your wild, unapologetic independence, join us. Be held and witnessed in this space of sacred sisterhood. Your future self will thank you.

The Altar was a radiant beacon of light guiding me back to shore. At a time when I felt lost, the altar called me home to an inner knowing and ritual that realigned me to the rhythm of my soul. I am forever grateful to Stephanie for providing not only the sacred container but the guidance to tap into my power of alchemy and ability to self-heal. During the six weeks I transmuted my pain to progress and my fear to fortitude. My heart has been cracked wide open and both strength and softness has emerged, along with a daily practice of movement and meditation, medicine to my soul and psyche

Musings from The Altar
This morning I sat at my altar — well, my altar for today. A little end table with a plant upon it, in the corner of a sweet room in a mountain home where I am a guest for a few days. I lit a candle, burned a little palo santo, listened to a meditation, and journaled. My morning ritual hasn’t always looked this way, but years of dedication have made it a little more perfunctory. I pulled from my tarot deck — a beautiful version of the traditional Smith Rider Waite tarot — the first card was the four of wands, a celebration among friends and loved ones, feeling held and supported after experiencing great spiritual expansion. A card of joyful gratitude. The second, The Empress — an embodiment of receiving the earth’s bounty with grace and ease, a card of abundance, feeling surrounded by life’s pleasures and luxuries. The third, the eight of pentacles— honing my craft, success through hard and diligent work, a card of devotion. And lastly, the sun, shining new life upon these endeavors. A card of hope, of vitality.
I looked up to bask in this reading, and take in my beautiful surroundings. A window to the left shows the moon setting over the mountains — she’s waning gibbous today. A window to the right shows a rocky hillside. Perhaps this is where my altar has always found me, between the moon and a hard place.

It’s an honor to be here, my friends…
Once upon a time I was a corporate queen with a successful media career and seemingly perfect marriage, then my life unraveled and I experienced an intense dark night of the soul that brought me face to face with my demons. Through that experience and the exploration of yoga + other spiritual practices, I started to discover the power of alchemizing shadow into fuel for transformation. I am passionate about creating safe, sacred spaces that provide a refuge for those seeking deeper connection. My work is an invitation to heal your connection to your own heart, and the sacred, to encourage deeper inner-standing and unlayering of yourself.
STEP INTO YOUR SACRED
Don't miss this opportunity to nurture your unique sacred feminine essence and connect with a community that celebrates all of you. Let The Altar be your space to return on this transformative journey. Space in our virtual container will be limited to 10 radiant souls, claim your spot now!

“Stephanie is a gift to this world. She is a guiding light, leading others into their own transformation by way of movement through connection - connection to body. Connection to feeling. Connection to something much larger than oneself alone. Her work shows us what is possible when we choose to remain open and awake.”
