Soul Alchemy for Women: A Monthly Women’s Circle
Soul Alchemy: A Monthly Women’s Circle in Denver, CO
An intimate gathering for women in midlife ready to soften, reconnect, and reCEIVE.
You’ve spent years doing, achieving, holding it all together—and now you’re longing for something more sacred. These in-person gatherings with DesiRae are an invitation to step out of the hustle and into a softer, more sacred way of living.
Soul Alchemy, a monthly women’s circle led by DesiRae, offers space to slow down, breathe deeply, and return to yourself—through ritual, reflection, and connection with other like-minded women walking this unfurling path together.
Where strength meets softness, where soul and self can unfold.
You are a Sacred Woman.
Midlife is a Powerful Invitation
It’s a time to pause, soften, and return to yourself. These in-person circles are for the woman who’s done the striving, the holding-it-all-together, the constant self-improvement. Now, she’s ready for something different. Something deeper. Something slower.
These gatherings offer a sacred space to step out of hustle culture and into a more soul-aligned way of living—one rooted in softness, sacred ritual, self-trust, and feminine wisdom.
Each monthly circle invites you to explore what it means to choose ease over burnout, presence over pressure, and wholeness over perfection — gently attuning to your own sacred spiral of growth, much like the seasons and cycles reflected in nature’s design.
Through guided reflection, and spiritual practices you'll find space to:
Deepen your connection to your spiritual essence & sacred feminine
Align with your higher self to discover & live your authentic self
Reclaim your intuition & inner wisdom to guide your choices
Break free from societal expectations & inherited beliefs that no longer serve you
Integrating mindfulness for grounding, presence, & emotional regulation
Heal intergenerational wounds to foster spiritual & emotional wholeness
Embracing feminine energy & softness while honoring your ambition
Cultivating self-compassion, gratitude, & nourishing rituals that bring ease to daily life
Using sacred tools like journaling, visualization, & intentional space to anchor your growth
Navigating the existential questions that arise during midlife with curiosity and grace
This Space Is For You If…
-
Honoring where they are — whether navigating transitions, shifting identities, or simply unfurling into a new season of life
High-achieving, multidimensional, often the “strong one” — yet yearning to soften, exhale, and leave the hustle behind
Intuitive, sensitive, empathic — maybe even a little “witchy” — and craving soulful depth, presence, and emotional safety
Longing to slow down, live more intentionally, and reconnect with their inner wisdom and natural rhythm
Seeking sacred, meaningful connection and healing that goes beyond surface-level fixes or performance
Told they’re “too much,” “too sensitive,” or the “black sheep” — now ready to reclaim their voice and make space for all of who they are
Drawn to ritual, reflection, gentle embodiment, and the sacred cycles of the seasons
Yearning for a space to breathe, feel, and be fully themselves — without pressure, perfection, or needing to hold it all together
Open to soulful community and feminine ways of being that honor both strength and softness
Walking the slow, sacred unfolding of midlife — a time to deepen, soften, and return home to self
This circle welcomes women from diverse racial, cultural, and spiritual backgrounds. Many are spiritual-but-not-religious or drawn to nature and intuition; others are rooted in faith traditions and come with openness to different beliefs. We honor the sacredness of difference and are committed to an inclusive, respectful space. Discrimination of any kind — including racism or antisemitism — will not be tolerated.
Important Note for current, or past therapy or coaching clients: See below*
-
You’re seeking a clinical, religious, or formal therapy space
You want fast answers or a rigid, structured curriculum
You’re looking for a casual drop-in without deeper reflection
You’re not ready to take accountability for your part in growth or healing
You’re uncomfortable with vulnerability, self-awareness, or emotional risk
You only want to vent, without openness to shift or soften
You want to “fix” yourself rather than reconnect with your authentic self
You hold strict religious views that limit openness to others
You feel resistant to ritual, reflection, or embodied practices
You’re in active crisis or need immediate mental health support
-
While this circle may feel therapeutic in nature, it is not a therapy group. If you are currently working with DesiRae as a therapy client, please note:
Confidentiality within the group space cannot be guaranteed, though all attendees are asked to honor each other's privacy.
DesiRae will maintain your client confidentiality and will not disclose any details of your therapy work within the group setting.
If you choose to share about your own therapeutic work during the circle, DesiRae will take your lead and hold that with care — but will not engage in therapeutic processing or discuss your case in this space.
By attending, you acknowledge that you are participating in a non-therapy group setting and release DesiRae from any liability related to confidentiality or overlap between therapy and this circle. You are choosing to participate willingly and understand that this offering is separate from your individual therapy.
Rooted in Natures Sacred Spiral
Each circle gently honors the natural rhythms of the seasons, drawing soft inspiration from the ancient Wheel of the Year — while honoring your own unfolding. This is not about religion — but about remembering the sacred feminine rhythms already within you, reflected in nature, your body, and the spirals of life itself.
Like the sacred spirals of the nautilus and the Fibonacci sequence, your healing is not linear — it expands, deepens, and returns you home to yourself, again and again.
As nature moves through growth, rest, harvest, and renewal, so do we. Each month offers a new invitation to explore these energies through soulful reflection, therapeutic tools, spiritual practices, and sacred feminine embodiment — allowing you to reconnect with your deeper self while living in harmony with nature’s wisdom.
Theme |Season | Wheel of Nature
-
The Sacred Pause: Rest, inner light, and quiet renewal.
This is your invitation to slow all the way down. Together, we honor the stillness of winter as sacred — a time to step back from the noise, reconnect with your inner light, and gently set intentions from a place of truth. You don’t need to fix or force anything — just be with yourself as you are. That is more than enough.
-
Awakening: Planting seeds and new beginnings.
The first signs of spring stir something in you — a quiet readiness. This gathering helps you reconnect with what wants to grow next in your life. It’s a soft, soul-level awakening: not about hustle, but about honoring the spark that’s just beginning to rise. You'll leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and reconnected to what matters.
-
Blossoming: Balance, growth, and rebirth.
With day and night in equal measure, this is a time to explore what balance really means — not perfection, but presence. You’ll reflect on what’s been growing within you, what’s ready to bloom, and how to support that growth in a way that feels easeful and embodied. Rebirth might stir softly or arrive like a storm. However it comes, that’s sacred too. It can be gentle, grounded, and true.
-
Vitality: Sensuality, creativity, and life force.
This is a circle for joy, pleasure, and full-body yes energy. Together, we’ll tap into your inner fire — not to burn out, but to spark passion, connection, and creative freedom. Expect movement, laughter, and maybe a little magic. It’s a day to feel alive in your body, free in your spirit, and deeply in touch with what lights you up.
-
Radiance: Embodiment, fullness, and joy.
At the height of summer, we honor your radiance. You’ve come far. This circle is about celebrating what’s working, naming what’s blossomed, and giving yourself permission to shine — without shrinking, apologizing, or toning it down. We'll anchor into presence, joy, and the kind of embodied fullness that doesn’t need proving. Just being.
-
Receiving: Harvesting abundance and gratitude.
You’ve done the work — now it’s time to receive. In this circle, we practice noticing what’s already here. Abundance isn’t just about having more; it’s about honoring what you’ve grown, felt, and become. We’ll slow down, connect with gratitude, and allow the nervous system to settle into a felt sense of enoughness and receiving.
-
Releasing: Letting go and preparing for rest.
As the leaves begin to fall, we too begin to let go — of what’s heavy, of what’s no longer aligned. This circle invites gentle release, with no pressure to figure it all out. Through breath, ritual, and reflection, we clear space in the mind, body, and heart — preparing to root into the slower season ahead with softness and trust.
-
It’s time to Get Witchy! Deepening: Ancestral wisdom and inner reflection.
The veil is thin. This circle is for turning inward — not in isolation, but with reverence. We’ll honor the ones who came before, listen to the wisdom they passed down, and choose what you want to carry forward. This is a time for soul-tending, reflection, and softening into the parts of you that are ready to be seen, heard, and held.

Upcoming Monthly Circles
This circle has been quietly growing in my heart for years—gently tended through my work with women and my own slow, sacred becoming. It’s something I’ve rooted with care. A tender unfurling that’s ready to be shared.
It’s a return, a remembering, a soft opening into something true.
I’m deeply honored to invite you to our sacred gatherings:
Spring Equinox / Ostara
Sat, March 28th | 7:15 pm - 8:45 pm
Theme: Blossoming — Harmony, Growth, and Rebirth
As winter thaws and the light slowly returns, something in you may be stirring. Not loudly. Not urgently, but something wiser. Ostara isn’t about forcing yourself to bloom - It’s about giving yourself permission to. In midlife, blossoming looks different than it once did. It’s less about proving and more about honoring. Less about performing and more about listening to the parts of you whispering, “This is what I want.”
Whether that desire lives quietly within you - a boundary, a truth, a softer way of being - or longs to take shape in the world, it matters. It’s sacred. Harmony isn’t about holding everything perfectly together. It’s about living in alignment with what feels true now.
“The day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” — Anaïs Nin
Let’s blossom together — gently, honestly, and in sisterhood. You don’t have to do it alone.

This season invites you to weave your soul back into your body — to feel alive, awake, and present in your own skin. Together, we’ll explore what truly energizes you now. What lights you up? What feels like a full-bodied yes? Through ritual, reflection, and embodied connection, we’ll honor love in all its forms — self-love, sisterhood, creative spark, and sacred presence.
This is a circle to come home to your body. To rekindle your inner flame. To celebrate being alive — wholly, wisely, and on your own terms.

At the heart of each women’s circle is a shared altar. It is a tender, intentional space we gather around, breathe into, and return to throughout our time together.
An altar is simply a sacred place to hold what matters. It’s a quiet anchor for the energy of our gathering, a visual reminder that what we feel, carry, release, and call in… all belongs. You might see elements of the season, soft light from candles, natural treasures, or symbols of the feminine. It’s not about perfection or performance - it’s about presence.
You're welcome to bring a small personal item if you'd like. Something that reflects your current season/transition, a picture, a prayer, or simply something you want held in this space. You can place it on the outer edge of the altar or keep it close to you.
Whether you are well-versed in spiritual practice or new to sacred ritual, this space is yours to meet with openness, humanness, and curiosity. The altar is not about belief. It is about being. It invites intention, beauty, and connection, both within yourself and with those around you.All of you is welcome here.
-
You may notice serpent imagery in our altar or ceremonial items. In many feminine traditions, the serpent symbolizes healing, intuition, and transformation.
She invites us to shed what no longer fits, soften into change, and move through life’s cycles with inner clarity. Like the spiral, she reminds us that growth isn’t always loud—it can be slow, sacred, and deeply aligned with who we truly are becoming.
-
You can sign up individually for each event, or, pre-buy a 3-Ceremony package at a discount.
-
Yes. This space is for women who identify as cisgender and female identifying to honor the sacred feminine space and experience of those who identify as a women. DesiRae offers other events that all genders, and identities are welcome. Please see her Workshops & Event’s page for Art Therapy Workshops, Retreats, Couples events, and more.
-
This circle is created with women in midlife (typically 35 & beyond) in mind — a sacred chapter often marked by shifts in identity, purpose, relationships, hormones, and the deep call to come home to yourself.
That said, age is just one part of the story. Some women — myself included — were born old souls. If you deeply resonate with the intention of this space, and the qualities described under Who This Is For and Women Who Thrive in This Space, you are welcome here.
Midlife isn’t always a number — it’s a portal. A time of soul-searching, softening, and reimagining what it means to be whole. It can bring grief, awakening, burnout, transition, and a longing to live more aligned, intentional, connected, and alive. That’s what this space holds. And you don’t have to walk it alone — we walk it together, in circle.
-
During the cooler/darker months we’ll begin at 7:00 to give you time to transition from the busyness of the day into a more grounded, embodied space. Consider this your permission to show up soft, comfy, and just as you are. Come nourished, come in your flowy clothes, come tired if you need to, just come.
Think of this as a sacred evening closeout.
I'll check in with attendees along the way. If this time begins to feel too late, I’ll reassess or explore other options as my space evolves.
