About us
Welcome!
This is a monthly full moon circle for all women. Each month we gather as a small group to connect, share about life, and be witness to and for one another — sometimes drawing on various modalities to help us discover more about who we are.
Practices can include interactive guided imagery, guided meditation, somatic work, movement, and more. My hope is that this becomes something we co-create together. These practices aren't frameworks I'll be teaching so much as ways I might invite us to explore to help facilitate different ways of knowing.
Each circle will vary depending on the needs and wants of the group, though the general format will stay consistent: a group centering activity, space for individual shares, and a wrap-up with individual takeaways.
To keep things small and intimate, I'm limiting the group to 10 women each month.
Who am I, How do I work:
My name is Carmen Ilisoi. I'm a first-generation Romanian-American! I am an integrative somatic and trauma-informed coach.
My intention is that this becomes a space we all co-create together.
In both group and individual spaces, I lead with the belief that each of us is already whole — not something to be fixed, even when our circumstances have left us feeling pretty broken down. My style aims to be warm, present, and non-directive, client-led with a heavy emphasis on the body.
With this group, my hope is that we as women can take the time to sit with one another — to be witnesses, to support each other, and simply to be together.
As someone still recovering from my own "women wound," I know how much of an ask this can be. The tension between deeply craving connection with other women and the painful memories that can surface in those same spaces. This group intends to honor that complexity, and to welcome women coming in exactly as they are.
You do not have to be deeply spiritual or steeped in women's work to belong here. I want to name that. Because in my experience, these spaces can sometimes feel oriented that way, and that's not what this is. Please come as all that you are.
Circle agreements:
- We are not here to fix or give advice to one another
- Safety is the highest priority
- Openness and curiosity about who you are, even when it's hard
- A willingness to be a witness for the others in the space
- Camera on and fully present for the duration of our time together
