Join us in a virtual space to explore connection, healing, beauty, vitality, and ease within the feminine spirit.

Our bodies are more powerful than we can comprehend. They can guide us when we listen, through our inner rhythms, our seasons, our creativity, and our health. And at the same time, they hold so much… life experiences, emotional layers, trauma, conditioning, inherited patterns.

None of us were given a guidebook. The way we relate to our bodies (connected or disconnected and back and forth many times over) has been shaped by everything we’ve lived.

I believe one of the greatest gifts we can offer ourselves, and each other, is a space that feels safe, authentic, and supportive. A place to have real conversations. A place to reconnect, again and again, to who we are.

Wild Feminine has been a meaningful part of my own journey. It shifted how I relate to my body and has deeply influenced the way I work with clients over the past decade. Many of you know the story of how I discovered her, and how that page changed my whole journey!

Tami Kent wrote this book after working with thousands of women. It weaves together stories, practices, meditations, and reflections that bring us back to the wisdom and power of our bodies.

I’ve held a few of these book groups over the past couple of years, and each one has been its own unique, powerful experience.. Life changing!

In this upcoming Spring Virtual Book Group, we’ll meet virtually and move through one chapter together through opening conversation, sharing, and exploring. You’ll also receive optional practices and journal prompts to continue the work in your own time in-between our time together.

All gatherings will be recorded, so you can revisit or catch up if you miss a session.

There’s something really special about coming together with other women—even in a virtual space. It reminds us we’re not alone. While our lives may look different, there are threads of shared experience that connect us. That kind of space can be liberating, empowering, and deeply healing.

This group is open to women across all stages of life from bleeding years through crone years.
To women who have birthed and those who haven’t.
To women who feel the call to come back into a relationship with their bodies.

It’s truly a gift to gather in this way.

Join us at one of our favorite locations for a local retreat. This will be a day devoted to celebrating and honoring all the beauty of Spring within and around us in Nature.

This retreat is part of Our Sacred Seasons Community. Rooted in ancient wisdom and gently woven with modern practices, these gatherings honor the turning of the wheel of the year alongside the sacred seasons of being a woman—times of blooming and resting, expansion and release, tending and transformation. Just as the Earth moves through cycles of birth, growth, harvest, and renewal, so too do we.

Together, we will explore seasonal rituals and earth-honoring practices inspired by nature, the divine feminine, and ancestral traditions. Each gathering may include ceremony, meditation, plant wisdom, journaling, oracle guidance, and soulful sharing—offering space to reconnect with intuition, self-care, and embodied wisdom.

Our Sacred Seasons is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and remember that every phase of life carries its own beauty and purpose. Here, women are held in community as they honor where they are—in nature, in the cycle of the year, and within their own seasons.

As the seasons turn, we gather to mark the moment, tend what is growing, and lovingly release what is ready to rest.

Meet Melissa:

I have been called to be a beacon and advocate for women, while fostering connection and community. As I became a Registered Nurse 11 years ago, my purpose emerged clearer. I would use my knowledge and compassion to create spaces of healing. While working in Integrative Wellness I began the practice of Craniosacral Therapy, Yoga Nidra, and herbal medicine. These practices had a profound effect on my body and spirit and I felt inspired to share them with other women. After bringing care to many people and becoming a mother, I felt even more compelled to help women and mothers. Soon after becoming a mother, I felt a deep calling to practice Mayan Abdominal therapy, which is integral in women’s health and for prenatal/postpartum mothers. Soon after, I knew beyond one on one care, the deeper calling was to gather groups of women. The best medicine for me is sitting with women in a space to rest and recall our essence. I believe that sitting with support, in ceremony, and using our plants and practices is what we are needing as a collective. I am so honored to gather and co-create these experiences and make our way through the mud together.

Meet Kate:

I’m a devoted seeker and explorer of life and experiences.

My journey has been full, winding, expansive, beautiful, messy and heart-opening beautiful, embracing all of it. And through all of it, I have come to believe that we are resilient beings, who have the capacity to heal, expand and transform many times over in life. I work as a nourishment & intimacy guide who believes in the inner and outer connection of wellness and radiance. I believe there is a bridge that weaves all the layers: physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically together. It is our birthright to explore, connect, activate, heal and expand on these layers in our lives.

For years, I’ve devoted myself to studying sacred sexuality, somatic therapy, empowerment coaching, nutrition, herbal medicine, fields that have helped me honor the emotional and energetic layers of the human experience.

I’m the founder and owner of Sunshine Kate’s Wellness Center in New Jersey, an evolving sanctuary born from a deeply personal journey of healing, curiosity, and connection. What began as a simple personal cooking service soon expanded into something far more holistic. I found myself called to movement, which naturally flowed into supporting women through hormonal shifts, and then deeper still into the study of trauma, the nervous system, human sexuality, and somatic-based therapies. This organic unfolding ultimately gave rise to The Intimacy Doula—a portal for deep embodiment, relational healing, and intimacy education.

Join Dee and Kate for our monthly VIRTUAL community gathering to commune with the moon and each other.

This is the first New Moon of Spring and of the astrological new year.

We are dedicating our time together to feed the fire of our journeys.

~What are we tending in our lives?

~Where do we need more courage and strength to move forward?

~How can we ignite more vitality within?

We’ll move through a meditation, ritual and conversation.

Our Sacred Seasons is a monthly gathering for women who feel called to live in a deeper relationship with the rhythms of Mother Earth and the ever-changing seasons within themselves.

Rooted in ancient wisdom and gently woven with modern practices, these gatherings honor the turning of the wheel of the year alongside the sacred seasons of being a woman—times of blooming and resting, expansion and release, tending and transformation. Just as the Earth moves through cycles of birth, growth, harvest, and renewal, so too do we.

✨ Lymph Love: A Spring Renewal Workshop ✨

As winter softens into spring, our bodies begin their own process of renewal. This in-between time—often called Mud Season—is a natural moment to support circulation, lymphatic flow, and hormonal balance.

🌿 Gentle self-massage techniques to support lymphatic flow
🌿 Castor oil rituals for circulation + drainage
🌿 Seasonal self-care practices that support the body’s natural renewal
🌿 A warm cup of herbal tea to sip and settle in

You’ll leave with simple tools and rituals you can easily weave into your everyday care.

Come soften out of winter and step into spring feeling supported, refreshed, and connected to your body.

Join us as we celebrate the Spring Equinox, the time of renewal, rebirth of nature, and the awakening of our own creativity, energy and passion.

Our gathering will be devoted to celebrating and planting seeds for what we want to bloom in the upcoming season of vitality. Twice a year the Sun sits vertically above the equator, giving us nearly equal day and night everywhere on the planet.

Join us in a celebration and ceremony as we greet the onset of spring. We’ll begin with a guided meditation to tune into ourselves. Then we’ll settle in to create a beautiful creation that you will weave in your intentions for the season ahead.

Please call/text 732-239-2333 or email info@theyogaloftnj.com

Join BCP and Sunshine Kate’s for one of our annual community pottery gatherings on March 18th, with the energy of the Spring Equinox for an evening dedicated to ritual.

As we travel through the Wheel of the Year and now open up to the energy of the Spring Equinox, it's a time for regeneration, renewal, growth and expansion in our lives.

And what better way to gather than in community and use our hands to create.

Rachel will lead us through the art of hand building a planter out of clay slabs.

Kate will lead us through a Spring Equinox ritual to honor this cyclical journey. We will explore a practice to release and exhale the energy of winter and then open up to embrace the creative and vibrant energy that Spring brings with her. We will plant our wildflower seeds with intentions as we embark into the blooms and vitality of Spring.

Join Dee and Kate in our next Wheel of the Year offering through Our Sacred Seasons community.

As we gather through this time, we stand at the threshold of the Spring season upon us.

The Spring Equinox is the midpoint between the Winter and Summer Solstices. All winter long, Mother Earth has been murmuring with growth and vitality beneath the surface to prepare to birth a new season of regeneration to life on the surface.

This sacred season of Spring nourishes us with the essence of renewal, rebirth, tending to our intentions and visions for the months ahead.

As we gather together in mid-March with the New Moon energy, we work with the moon cycle as a way of re-awakening from the darkness, tending to our ‘seeds’ and embracing the light of the moon as she waxes to fullness. This time of the year is a sacred and gentle reminder of leaning in and trusting the greater seasons and cycles that surround us.

During our ceremony, we will each create our own ‘Flower Petal Blessing Bowls’ to dedicate our attention and intention towards through the Spring Equinox and through this next lunar cycle.

Upon reserving your space, you will receive an email on how to prepare and zoom link to join the virtual ceremony.

$25 / person for our ceremony. You can pay through Venmo (please include your email and phone number) or credit card (which will include a processing fee).

Season after season, this is an invitation to keep showing up for your body, to stay in conversation with what is shifting, and to move with life as it unfolds.

Over the last year many of you have brought the Flow Vibe wand into your homes, and I’ve been thinking about how supportive it can be to gather together and learn simple ways to use it as part of a gentle self-care ritual.

Join me for a gentle, restorative virtual session focused on lymphatic flow, reducing inflammation, and supporting vitality, using your Flow Wand at home.

If you’ve purchased a wand from me before, you’re welcome to join! Whether you have the original Flow Wand or the new Flow Vibe 2.0 Wand, this session will guide you in simple practices that support both physical health and the release of stored emotions.

We’ll explore techniques for the breasts, lungs, and heart space, helping to ease fluid stagnation, tension, and scar tissue, while enhancing circulation and moving held emotions like grief, sadness, or tension. Many participants notice their body feels lighter, more open, and energized after just a few minutes of mindful vibration.

During our 30 minutes together, you’ll learn:

• How to use your wand to stimulate lymph flow at home

• Practices to soften chest tissue and improve circulation

• Ways to support emotional release and restore energy

✨ Special Note: The Flow Vibe 2.0 Wand is specifically designed for chest support : breasts, lungs, and heart, making it ideal for this practice.

For those who don’t yet own one, I’m offering a little special : $129 (regular $149) now through Tuesday 3/10, so it can be shipped and arrive in time for our workshop.

RESERVE YOUR SPOT TO JOIN CLASS ON 3/14

Join Kate on Monday evenings throughout the winter for a restorative, grounding, and nourishing movement journey—one that is as playful as it is profound to the body and spirit.

The Winter Edition offers a slower, more intentional rhythm—attuned to the season of restoration, supporting our nervous systems, and inviting deep presence and deep rest. What can be better than a slow invitation to breath, move, rest and then go home for a Winter's Night of Sleep?!

We Rest in Mo(ve)ment.

**Please bring a yoga mat and an eye pillow with a strap (one that secures around the head). If you don’t have an eye pillow, a soft scarf also works great.**

Join Dee and Kate in our next gathering of The Sacred Seasons Community with our Fire Horse and New Moon Gathering.

The Chinese New Year on February 17 shifts from the Wood Snake to the Fire Horse. In Chinese astrology, the Fire Horse is a powerful blend of the Horse’s freedom-loving, courageous spirit and the Fire element’s passion, visibility, and momentum. This is an energy of bold movement, authenticity, and forward motion. The Fire Horse invites us to act from the heart, to trust our instincts, and to step into our personal power with confidence. It favors independence, creativity, and decisive action—asking us to live truthfully and courageously, even if that means breaking from old patterns or expectations.

The Fire Horse year follows the introspective, strategic energy of the Snake, marking a shift from inner processing to outward expression and embodied action.

Gather with us in our virtual ceremony where we will honor the old skin which we are shedding, invoke a ritual to bless and release it. Then, we will move into an invocation towards illuminating our inner spark to traverse forward on our journeys aligning with the tendings of our dreams and desires for 2026.

JOIN US ON THIS EVER-TRANSFORMING JOURNEY OF THE SEASONS WITHIN AND AROUND Us.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17TH 7-8PM

Meet us in this sacred virtual cocoon and feel free to bring along with you:

~Journal + One Loose Sheet of Paper (and pen)

~Red, Orange or Gold Candle

Imagine sipping a cup of hot, creamy ceremonial cacao (aka chocolate) in your own sacred space, as you step into a powerful online ceremonial circle — one that awakens self-love, play, freedom, and grounded courage as we prepare to ride boldly into 2026 with Helen and Kate.

Though we gather virtually, the ceremonial field is strong, alive, and deeply connected — a circle of kind, open-hearted souls mounting their Fire Horses together.

Guided Meditation

Off we go into a guided meditation to get grounded and centered. Ceremonial songs, drumming, toning (vibrational, sound healing) and deep trance follows suit.

Shamanic Journey – Where the Magic Happens

The ceremonial cacao goes with you, heart-to-heart, hand-in-hand, on your shamanic journey. It is like an interactive dream, where all your senses are in play. You’ll learn unexpected things, experience spiritual growth, receive guidance and healing for the fulfillment of your intention.

Beauty of Ceremony

There is a huge PLUS in coming together as a group, in community, as friends, in sacred ceremony. A powerful, magical, vortex is created by our energies that coalesce. Through Helen’s spirit guides, angels, and power animals, a powerful frequency comes through for your healing and our healing as a collective. Spirit channels through, exponentially amplifying the healing and manifesting energies for everyone.

Welcome to All Spiritual Levels

Beginners to advanced all benefit. Doing a cacao ceremony with a friend and/or partner is lots of fun. Bring them along!

MEET YOUR GUIDES

Helen Knight

Helen brings over two decades of deep spiritual work, intuitive mastery, and a devoted healing practice. Her path began in Chile where she got really sick with a mystery illness. With all doctors coming up empty handed, she discovered Reiki . It was her saving grace and took her to the Australian Outback, to the sacred Aboriginal lands where her intuition, psychic gifts, and “Dreamtime” awakened.

Helen ended up being guided to Boulder, CO where she launched her healing practice and taught Spirit Reiki. Her spiritual training spans global traditions—vision quests in Colombia, cacao priestess work in Guatemala, and years of leading plant medicine ceremonies.

Today, Helen’s work centers on guiding women back into the seat of their power: the womb. As a Womb Awakener and Mentor, she helps women reconnect to their intuitive knowing, embodied sovereignty and reclaim their divine feminine power. Her presence is deeply nourishing, transformational, and spiritually grounded.

Kate Strakosch

Kate is a gentle, grounding presence and a guide of seasonal wisdom, embodiment, and cyclical living. Known for her heart-led approach, Kate weaves together somatic nourishment, ritual, and feminine energetics to help women soften into themselves and reconnect with the natural rhythms of the Earth. Her work invites you to slow down, return to your body, and remember the wisdom you carry within.
