OUR MISSION
Our mission is to breathe life into the feminine energy of our world, to educate people to value, foster, enliven, and embolden their feminine traits and enliven their creative spirits and hearts, which will help usher in a world that is just, equitable, sustainable, and kind to all.
We aspire to honor and uplift the Feminine Spirit and feminine archetypes so that one day we create a world where femininity is valued, embraced, and respected. A world where all who identify as girls or women are treated equitably and justly, and where all people are treated with love, kindness, and value. We will spread the message of love for all living beings and our earth in a grounded and practical way.

The freedom of moving to the music and responding to Karen's cues allows you to forget the everyday tensions of life.

"Karen’s passion and gifts shined bright! The prompts and music drew me into self-awareness – hurts, joys, memories, and in-the-moment body awareness. The music was perfect, playful, sensuous, and called me inward. The movement was freeing and after, I felt looser and more integrated. I will definitely share the invitation for the next class with friends!"
