What’s Coming Up

Everything on the calendar, in order.

The course, the circles at the ranch, the training, and the retreat in Thailand. Some have beds open today. Some are a name on a list until they do. Either way, this is the whole calendar in one place.

Mother Hunger®, the 8-Week Live Course

Wednesdays, 5:00–6:30 PM Pacific · live on Zoom · no session Nov 25

Eight weeks through nurturance, protection, and guidance, and what forms in a daughter when one of them was missing. A workbook for every lesson, a private group with only your cohort, and the alumni circle that keeps meeting after week eight. The framework is Kelly McDaniel’s; Angela teaches it as a trained Mother Hunger® Facilitator.

Healing with Horses · the Fall Circle

Malibu, California · arrive Thursday by 4:00 PM, home by noon Sunday

Four days above the ocean with eight bedrooms and no more. Hours with the herd at Shakti Ranch, grief education that treats you as a whole person, a floating sound bath, a private chef, and the kind of company where you do not have to explain yourself. Co-led with Claire Bidwell Smith.

Claire’s retreat · registration open

The Conscious Grieving Retreat

Ralston White Retreat · Mill Valley, Northern California · three nights

Not mine, and worth your knowing about. Claire Bidwell Smith leads this one with her own colleagues, four days in a historic house above Mill Valley with private hiking trails and the whole property to the group. If you have read Conscious Grieving and wanted to sit in a room with the person who wrote it, this is how.

Planning · early interest

Healing with Elephants

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Six days at a sanctuary where the elephants are not ridden or performing, only living. Grief work in a place far enough from your ordinary life that your body finally believes it is allowed to put something down.

If none of these are your season

There is always a next one forming.

The circles gather twice a year, spring and fall, and the course runs again after this cohort closes. Join the waitlist and you will hear the dates before they are public.
