A ceremonial circle for those ready to move beyond connection, into communion.
This circle is not an entry point. It is for those who have being doing the work: you have a practice of speaking the truth of your experience and listening and holding presence, and still something in you is reaching for more. If you are hungry to go deeper, this is for you.
You have sat in circles, done your own deep work, learned to speak with honesty and to listen with your whole self. And still, so often, the container closes just as things begin to open, right at the edge where the deeper thing was about to reveal itself.
Presence and Emergence is for that edge. This is not an introduction to connection. It is the rarer practice that lives on the far side of it: communion. We come as people who already share a language of presence and honesty, and we use it to drop past the familiar depths into something more unguarded, more ceremonial, more alive. And in that dropping, we emerge a little more whole, both as individuals and as a circle.
How the Gatherings Unfold
We begin with nurturing nibbles as we settle in and move gently through our shared agreements, the soft container that lets a circle of people feel safe enough to be unguarded. From there I guide us into a somatic practice, a way to attune to the truth of our embodied experience in the present moment. Then we open the circle as ceremony and step into the heart of the evening: connection practice woven from an integration of Internal Family Systems, authentic relating and circling, embodiment and ceremony. We speak what is alive, we listen in a way most spaces never allow, we share impact, and we meet, and let ourselves be truly met. We close the circle with the same intention we opened it, so you leave whole and carry something of the evening home.
Who Holds the Space
If you don’t know me yet, I’m Sabrina. My deepest and most pernicious wound has been around loneliness and belonging, and learning how to be in honest connection has been the practice of a lifetime. So this work is not theory for me. It is the medicine I needed, and still need.
So many paths have helped me find my way toward connection: Buddhist psychology, somatic and embodiment practice, ritual and ceremony, neoshamanism, Internal Family Systems, and Authentic Relating and Circling. I am a Certified Authentic Relating Facilitator, a spiritual doula and somatic guide, and I hold degrees and certifications in somatic psychology, psychedelics, and a variety of meditation and embodiment modalities. I weave all of these practices and ways of being together to create spaces where we can set down our armor, live fully into our wholeness, and remember that we belong to one another.
The Details
Gatherings are once a month, usually on the first Friday, though sometimes those dates shift because of my own travel and the personal retreats I offer. The dates will always be listed online. Gatherings run from about 6:30 to 8:30 in the evening, with a little wiggle room on either side, and we meet at Soul Medicine Sanctuary in Longmont. The address is provided after registration is complete. A $60 equitable contribution is asked for each gathering. Upcoming dates in 2026 are Monday 10/12, and Fridays 11/6 and 12/4. 2027 dates are set for 1/1, 2/12, 3/5, 4/2, 5/7, 6/4, 7/2, 8/6, 9/3, 10/1, 11/5 and 12/3.
How We Hold the Circle
We hold this space with a set of shared practices. Please read them before we talk, and come ready to tell me which one speaks to you and which one will ask the most of you. If these feel like agreements you can hold, you are welcome to join us.

If these feel like home, or like the edge you want to grow into, I would love to have you. I keep these circles intentionally small, so registering early is wise. Or if you have questions before you register, just reach out
When people sit this near to each other and speak this honestly, everyone in the room is carrying something tender, and everyone is helping hold it. Which is why I feel a responsibility to talk with you first — to know that you have some ground beneath you, and that you can be a (mostly) steady presence for whoever is sitting across from you, and for yourself as well. This screening protects you as much as it protects the people already in the room. After we talk, I will send you a password to register.
If you have read the practice agreements and something in you says yes, use the contact button below to explore joining us. If you have already sat with us, you can just text me a request at 303.955.8945.
Where Your Contribution Goes
Everything I had went into this house: into buying it, into all the supplies, and into renovating it as a place where people could gather. Your contribution helps carry that, in mortgage payments and heat and in the hours of cleaning and designing and preparing that happen long before you arrive. It is not a price and it is not a ticket. It is a share in the keeping of a place that belongs to everyone who gathers in it.
There are other ways to hold this place too. Come to a gardening day. Tell someone about the sanctuary when they are looking for a room to gather in, or about a circle that might be theirs. And the one that matters most to me: become part of this community, and keep coming back. A sanctuary is not a building. It is the people who keep showing up in it.
