- You feel inspired to deepen your ability to show up with love and truth in your relationships
- You sense more passion inside you, wanting to be unleashed
- You yearn to connect more fully to your being and your body
- Your heartfelt desire for new levels of spiritual partnership is pulsing, and asking you to honor it
Join us at the base of Mt. Shasta for clarity and renewal. Walk barefoot in the pines, sing around the fire, wade in alpine lakes, eat nourishing meals, sit by the creek, lay in the grass, and connect with Mother Earth.
We all need time to unplug, be honest with ourselves, play, and be inspired! And to be witnessed in all of it by a genuinely nourishing sacred community makes it even more powerful!
Take a break from shoulds, to-do lists, and responsibilities. This is a time for exploration, connection, and Self-nurturing—and you truly deserve it.

I am a soul-inspired life and leadership mentor and the author of INSPIRED. My passion is empowering people to contribute to a better world through spiritual embodiment and inspired action.
I love facilitating A Women’s Way of Awakening programs and Creators Circles for Visionary Women, where I weave decades of experience as a licensed massage therapist, certified Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner, ordained priestess, student of tantra, and certified yoga instructor.
Mt. Shasta has been my home since 1998, and I continue to revel in the region's beauty. I enjoy playing guitar, cooking, outdoor adventures, and doing anything with my beloved partner, Gavin. My dream is for all women to experience deep, honest, and uplifting love with themselves and a partner 'beyond their wildest dreams.'

I discovered parts of me that are now awakened, are guiding me to a life of greater purpose
“From the moment I stepped through the doorway of Joy’s home, I felt changed, welcomed, encouraged, and loved - as if I could discover and celebrate parts of me that had been waiting to be found. I can honestly say my time with Joy changed my life. Without any sense of expectation or pressure, I felt a deep and real desire to live my best self - to eat well, move deliberately and explore the gorgeous surroundings. Mostly, I discovered parts of me that now awakened, are guiding me to a life of greater purpose, ease, and fulfillment.”
