Finding Stillness & Grounding in Uncertain Times
Join Caroline (“Carrie”) Culverhouse, founder of Integrative Awakening and co-founder of hOMe PYM, for a deeply nourishing online women’s circle devoted to cultivating stillness, grounding, and inner solidity amidst the chaos of modern life.
In a world that feels increasingly fast, loud, and destabilizing, this Sacred Sisterhood Circle is an intentional pause — a confidential, supportive container where women can reconnect to themselves, their bodies, and their inner wisdom. The overarching theme of this circle is learning how to remain centered, resourced, and rooted within yourself, even as the external world feels uncertain or overwhelming.
Each session weaves together intentional and confidential sharing, guided meditation and breathwork, and spiritually themed discussion designed to support embodiment, self-trust, emotional regulation, and inner resilience. This circle is especially suited for women who feel called to become steadier, clearer, and more grounded within themselves during these complex and rapidly changing times.
Caroline has been facilitating women’s groups and holding sacred space since 2007. She is a highly skilled and seasoned facilitator known for her grounded presence, compassionate attunement, and refreshingly irreverent, down-to-earth style. Her approach blends depth with humor, structure with intuition, and spirituality with real-life integration.
This circle is an invitation to slow down, come home to yourself, and be held — in sisterhood.

JUNE 20th + 21st 2026
Art of Facilitation is a weekend immersion for people who work with groups — therapists, yoga teachers, business owners, retreat leaders, coaches, healers, creatives, and community leaders — who want to move beyond simply hosting experiences and into the deeper, more skillful art of true facilitation.
Many people can organize an event. Far fewer know how to read a room, regulate group energy, establish emotional safety, work with challenging dynamics as they arise, and guide people through real transformation without causing harm. This immersion is for those who sense that facilitation is not about charisma or performance or even a beautiful face, but about presence, discernment, personal discipline, and embodied leadership.
Caroline “Carrie” Culverhouse draws from over a decade of intensive clinical training, trauma-informed group psychotherapy, spiritual teaching, and more than 200 retreats led around the country. Her approach bridges psychology and spirituality in a way that is practical, grounded, and immediately usable — without bypassing, guru posturing, or performative “holding space.”
This is not a certification mill, formulaic framework, or performative leadership training.
It is an experiential, relational immersion designed to sharpen your facilitation instincts, deepen your nervous system literacy, and help you lead groups with clarity and integrity.
Over the course of the weekend, participants will learn:
The difference between hosting, teaching, leading, and facilitating — and when each role is actually needed
How to establish psychological and nervous system safety in groups without over-controlling or over-sharing
Reading group dynamics in real time: power, projection, resistance, collapse, and dependency
How trauma, attachment styles, and unspoken group roles shape what unfolds in a room
The facilitator’s inner landscape: countertransference, ego, savior patterns, and “spiritual performance”
When to intervene, when to pause, and when to let something unfold organically
How to hold intensity, emotion, and conflict without re-traumatizing participants or yourself
Ethical facilitation: boundaries, responsibility, and knowing what is not yours to carry
This weekend blends teaching, experiential practice, live demonstration, group reflection, and supervised inquiry, allowing participants to feel the material in their bodies — not just understand it intellectually.
Participants leave with:
Greater confidence and clarity in their facilitation style and capacity
A deeper understanding of group dynamics and how to create psychological safety
A toolbox of practices to increase group participation and group satisfaction
A more grounded, embodied relationship to leadership itself by connection with one’s personal spiritual path
This is Phase 2 work — for those who know that true, grounded facilitation changes lives.
This immersion is ideal for people who:
Already lead groups or retreats and want to refine their craft
Feel called to lead, but want to do so responsibly and skillfully
Have outgrown surface-level facilitation or “one-size-fits-all” methods
Want to create spaces that are both spiritually meaningful and psychologically sound
When: June 20 & 21 | 10am-5pm both days
Where: hOMe PYM Retreat Center, Berks County PA
Pay in full: $499 by 06/10/26; $575 thereafter
Payment plan options available
