Upcoming Events
The WomanCircle
We as women are relational by nature. We thrive in connection. The WomanCircle is an opportunity for us to come together to explore what matters and what counts to us both individually and collectively in a safe and beautiful environment. Together we seek new ways of being as well as discover next best steps for moving forward in our lives with grace and power.
The poet Mary Oliver asks, “Tell me what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Are you willing to take time out of your already always busy life to revisit, recharge, and recommit to your Best Self. Join Coach Minx at the WomanCircle– a 4 week journey of easy camaraderie, joyful exploration, deep reflection, and Self discovery. At each gathering we will look at a different aspect of what it means to VOICE who we are using a variety of immediately useful tools and techniques.

The Richness of Ritual
Ritual is the act of sanctifying action - even ordinary actions - so that it has meaning: I can light a candle because I need the light or because the candle represents the light I need.
» Christina Baldwin, Life's Companion
It is not that our lives lack ritual but rather that most rituals have lost their meaning and shifted into the realm of the ordinary. Without the thoughtfulness of purpose, a ritual becomes mere habit. We trivialize so many opportunities for depth and connection by performing our actions out of habit rather than conviction and reverence – everything from birthday cards and gifts to religious rituals and personal celebrations performed by rote lose their meaning and their magic.
Ritual is a way of making potent and powerful what would otherwise be nothing more than everyday activity. It delineates a shift in consciousness and imbues our actions with a special kind of energy.
In our technically brilliant modern society, there are too few places where we are encouraged, or even allowed, to plumb our deepest selves and honor our multi-dimensionality with intention and grace. Yet women have used rituals to mark the cycles of the moon, the passage of the seasons, and the rhythms of our bodies. The enactment of empowering and inspiring rituals, performed alone or in groups, can provided a different perspective from which to view and celebrate the fullness of our lives.

Journal Keeping: Discovering Your Self on the Page
To journal is to make use of pen and paper to record events, thoughts, emotions, possibilities, priorities, and just about anything else on our minds. Journal keeping as a tool for self-reflection allows us to shape vague and amorphous thoughts and feelings into concrete and coherent language. It is a way to organize, prioritize, and find an outlet for the incessant chattering of the mind. Journaling can be a powerful tool for releasing pent-up emotions as well as for self-discovery. As such, it is a way of making the inner voices of one’s heart, mind, and soul more audible.
Journalkeeping is an act of risk, disclosure,
vulnerability and courage.
It is also an act of self-affirmation.
» Kay Leigh Hagan
Experience the power and magic of journaling for yourself. Discover why there has been such a resurgence of interest in this age-old writing form. Explore why reflective journal writing is far more valuable and interesting than the old image of “Dear Diary” would suggest. Learn a variety of basic tips and techniques that allow even the most inexperienced writer to reap the benefits of this process. Take advantage of this opportunity to try different approaches in order to develop your own form of creative expression.

The Brain: A User's Manual
We expect every key piece of equipment in our lives to come with an owner’s manual. Yet most of us have little idea of how our brain works. The human brain is the most sophisticated information gathering and transfer system on Earth and yet it often acts in surprising ways. Our tyrant of a rational mind tends to think it is in control of our lives. But our rationality is often surprised by our own behavior because many other aspects of our brain are faster and more ingrained than our logical processing. Learning to harness the full power of our brains, including our extra-rational faculties, is a powerful tool in becoming more effective while relieving stress.
Facilitated by Coach Minx in conjunction with philosopher and scholar Lable Braun
This workshop is currently available as a 2, 4, or 8 hour program. / e-mail minx@coachminx.com for information
Pivot Pods™
Our universe is a constantly changing dynamic whole. Surviving and thriving depend on being able to recognize and respond to Pivot Points, those moments in time when we sense that something either in our immediate environment or in the larger world has shifted somehow and that, in order to remain effective, it is necessary to adapt to the way things are NOW.
Pivot Pods are based on the understanding that we as humans are relational by nature. It is how our brains are wired. And there is an undeniable wisdom and power inherent in a group of thoughtful people willing to continually explore and pursue what really matters. Yet in our fast paced techno-efficient world we spend less and less time in deep and meaningful dialogue. What gives the Pivot Pod its power is the lens of the Quest-ion. Questions focus our attention and give us access to new ways of seeing the way things are while envisioning what might be possible at any given moment in time.
Facilitated by Coach Minx in conjunction with philosopher and scholar Lable Braun

The title of the interview is "Seeing Your Beauty" and you can find it on the website, along with my name. Click and a radio screen will come up and play the interview. There is a pause button which makes it easy to stop and start as needed. Enjoy!
I do hope you will take the time to listen . . . and let me know your thoughts.
