The Sacred Path of The Body
A Women's Embodiment Journey
Inaugural Cycle begins March 2, 2026
The Sacred Path of the Body is a journey of remembering the feminine wisdom of living and knowing through the medium of the body. Through guided meditations, gentle somatic practices, inquiry, and shared presence, this circle supports women in restoring a sense of safety in the nervous system and reconnecting with the body as a trustworthy home. Ultimately, it's not just the body we get with this work but the being within. Our innate wisdom and connection to the web of life that originates from right here inside each of us.
Many of us have learned to move through life by pushing, managing, or leaving our bodies in order to cope, care for others, or meet the demands of the world. In a time that asks for constant output and certainty, the body often becomes something to override rather than listen to. Together, we explore what it feels like to inhabit ourselves more fully—tracking where we may have learned to leave, brace, or disconnect, and inviting back qualities of
aliveness, intuition, and inner listening.
This work honors the feminine capacity to know through sensation, imagery, and felt experience, allowing intuition and the imaginal to arise through the body rather than bypassing it. The pace is settled, relational, and respectful of each woman’s timing, emphasizing presence over performance and integration over intensity.
Why Now?
In a world saturated with noise, guidance, and competing voices, it becomes easy to lose contact with the quiet intelligence of our own bodies. Even much of modern spirituality and healing speaks about the body without truly helping us inhabit it, and over time we can begin relating to ourselves as concepts rather than lived experience. For women especially—whose bodies have so often been shaped, interpreted, or spoken over—this is a space to reclaim inner listening and embodied authority.
Timing & Logistics
The Sacred Path of the Body is a 10 week journey from March 2nd - May 4th 2026.
Weekly Rhythm - once a week, participants will receive a recorded guided meditation and inquiry practice delivered online so you can engage at a time that works best for you.
Live Gatherings (optional) - twice during our time together we'll have a chance to come together live, one as we begin and one to close our journey. These gatherings are an opportunity to practice inhabiting presence in community—through shared stillness, gentle movement, guided sensing, and simple ritual. There is no pressure to share and participation is always by choice. The emphasis is on creating a field of safety, listening, and mutual respect, reminding us that this path is not meant to be walked alone.
All recordings and materials will remain accessible throughout the duration of the cycle and for a period of time after.

Weekly Rhythm - Dates and Intentions
Week 1 - 3/2: Entering the Sacred Path - establishing ground and presence This week we begin by arriving to ourselves - where and how we are. Experiencing our own existence from within our body and gently remembering what it feels like to live within our body as a place of support and refuge. Week 2 - 3/9: Finding Center and Receiving Balance We deepen into the core of ourselves, building our capacity to be with what arises. In-Person/Zoom Gathering 1 (optional) - Sunday 3/15, 10-11:30am Week 3 - 3/16: Softening the Mind - understanding and the head This week invites a loosening of the logical thinking mind, allowing awareness and knowing to emerge from the whole body. Week 4, 3/23: Letting Voice Find You - expression and the neck We listen and feel our potential to speak from within our neck, sensing where voice has been held back and how it wants to emerge. Week 5, 3/30: Heart as an Organ of Perception - love and the heart center This week we explore the heart as a center of perception, allowing tenderness, connection to arise from the ground of emotion within the center of our own chest. Week 6, 4/6: Personal Power - agency and the solar plexus We experience power as natural and innate, feeling how we may have suppressed our power and what we feel like when we can access the power that begins from within our own body. Week 7, 4/13: Remembering the Pelvic Ground - gender, sexuality and the pelvis This week invites contact with the pelvis as a source of aliveness and creativity, restoring safety in instinct, pleasure, and embodied identity. Week 8, 4/20: Resting in the Unknown - surrender and letting go We practice orienting to the internal and external space as reference points, discovering the unbroken ground of being even in uncertainty and emptiness. Week 9, 4/27: Re-Membering from Within - reorganization through contact This week supports the body’s natural reorganization, sensing how clarity, orientation, and self-experience affect our internal and external life Week 10, 5/4: Walking The Sacred Path - integration and return We reflect on what has shifted, exploring the experience of living as embodied presence In-Person/Zoom Gathering 2 (optional) - Monday, 5/11 - 6-7:30pm
Who This is For:
This journey may be a good fit for women who: - Feel drawn to slowing down and inhabiting their body more fully - Sense that they live much of life from the head and are curious about embodied knowing - Long to reconnect with intuition, inner guidance, or imaginal life in a grounded way - Are interested in nervous system safety, presence, and gentle somatic exploration - Have done personal growth, therapy, meditation, or body-based work and want something less effortful and more integrative - Appreciate a non-performative, non-fixing, non-hierarchical space - Are willing to listen inwardly and trust their own pacing - Value community, but do not require constant sharing or processing No prior experience with meditation or somatic practices is required - only a willingness to listen to your own body's experience with curiosity and care.
Who This is Not For:
This offering may not be for you if you're: - Are seeking intensive trauma processing, catharsis, or crisis support - Want quick results, peak experiences, or a highly structured “curriculum” - Prefer directive teaching, diagnosis, or being told what their experience means - Are currently in acute emotional instability and need more individualized support - Are uncomfortable with ambiguity, slowness, or not-knowing - Are looking for a purely intellectual, philosophical, or conceptual exploration - Expect this space to replace therapy, medical care, or mental health treatment This circle is designed to complement, not replace, therapy or other forms of support.
Consent, Choice & Scope:
All practices offered in The Sacred Path of the Body are invitational and rooted in choice. Participants are encouraged to listen closely to their own bodies and to modify, pause, or step back from any practice at any time. There is no requirement to share personal experiences, and silence is always welcome. This circle is a supportive, educational, and contemplative space rather than a substitute for therapy or medical care; while the work may touch tender places, it is not designed for crisis support or intensive trauma processing. Participants are invited to engage with curiosity, self-responsibility, and care for their own nervous systems, and to seek additional support outside the circle if needed.
Marika’s Realization Process Practices came at the perfect time for me. During the “stay-at-home” time I looked forward to Sunday evening to settle down my nervous system. Both the practice of the Realization Process and Marika’s voice took me on an inner journey. Marika’s approach is gentle, warm and accessible. She has done the work herself and is gifted at guiding others through the process. I highly recommend working with her.

Marika's offering of subtle energy work has been so beneficial to me especially during the Covid-19. Tuning in to my inner core being helps me to maintain my rhythm and true potential, letting go of blockages and old belief systems. I'm very grateful for all her work, generosity of spirit and soothing voice. Thank you Marika!
