Refuge Space—One hour of calm

November 20, 7-8p CT

A live session with guided meditation, reflection, and writing

Life is busy and full—you don’t have time to pause and breathe, let alone nourish your heart. Let me hold space and provide guidance (you don’t need to DIY your whole life!).

Refuge Space includes guided meditation and journal writing, as well as movement and stretching—things you don’t make time for in daily life. Within an hour, you can restore and ground; you can come home to yourself.

Watch this 2-minute video to learn more.

“Refuge Space is my monthly oasis. It’s a designated space to reconnect with my breath, reflect, and simply be (even when life gets busy). Joy is a wonderfully caring leader. I feel welcome to show up just as I am, whatever that looks like, and I leave each session with a sense of connection and ease.”
— Sarah G.

  • You rarely have time for yourself.

  • When space arrives, you’re too exhausted to know what to do with it.

  • You crave calm yet aren’t sure how to get there.

  • You need accountability to look and tend inward.

  • You seek quiet in a noisy world.

Let me help you…

  • You show up just as you are! (No meditation experience required.)

“A month without Joy and Refuge Space is like a month without sunshine! Sharing space with Joy and others is healing for me. I come away refreshed and with one small step I can take in my life; a step I wouldn’t recognize or do otherwise. Listening to Joy’s kind, soothing voice is like a comforting blanket. Refuge Space is an investment in me!”
— Denise O.

Theme for November Refuge Space

Marketing and advertising want us to believe in scarcity—not enough time or money or beauty. Yet when we pause to look at our lives, we’re surrounded by abundance. It may not be glittery or exotic, but everyday abundance surrounds you. In this session, you’ll reconnect with the vibrancy, fullness, and flow of your life. Your heart will soften and rest in a place of abundance.

Upcoming refuge space sessions…

  • December 18: Quiet reflection before the holidays

  • January 15: Winter check-in

“Refuge space is a gift to your soul. Each time I feel supported and encouraged to explore the inner workings of my mind-body-spirit, and I come away feeling nourished and refreshed. This has become my new monthly ritual!”
— Shannon S.

FAQ

  • No meditation experience needed! I guide the mindfulness practices. It’s easier to meditate with a guiding teacher and supportive group.

  • Your camera can be on or off—you choose! Refuge Space lets you show up just as you are. At the end of each session, I invite community sharing via the chat, but it’s not required. Participate or observe—both are welcome.

  • I know life interrupts in unexpected ways. When that happens, reach out to me—I’ll move your registration to the next month’s Refuge Space.
