WANTING MORE

An embodied exploration of desire & the fear of wanting too much

What do you really want?

Not what feels reasonable.
Not what you think you should be grateful for.
Not what feels realistic or attainable.

What do you want when you let yourself want?

More love.
More money.
More pleasure.
More support.
More intimacy.
More freedom.
More rest.
More beauty.
More space.
More aliveness.

There can be something incredibly vulnerable about wanting more.

Because desire asks us to acknowledge the space between what we have and what we long for.

And sometimes, it feels safer not to want at all.

We tell ourselves we don't need that much.
We should be happy with what we have.
We're asking for too much.
We're being unrealistic.
We don't want to get our hopes up.

Sometimes we make our desires smaller before we've even had the chance to fully feel them.

Sometimes we disconnect from wanting altogether.

And sometimes, the moment we let ourselves feel the fullness of what we want, fear rushes in:

What if I don't get it?
What if wanting this makes me selfish or ungrateful?
What if I'm too much?
What if the life I want requires me to change?
What if I outgrow something, or someone, I love?

But wanting more doesn't necessarily mean wanting bigger.

More might mean more tenderness.

More time.

More honesty.

More creativity.

More depth.

More support.

More room to breathe.

More of yourself.

This Sacred Sisters, we're going to explore our relationship with desire, not from the perspective of manifestation, achievement, or figuring out how to get what we want, but through the experience of allowing ourselves to want.

To notice what happens in our bodies when we come into contact with desire.

To meet the parts of us that learned it wasn't safe to want too much, need too much, ask for too much, or take up too much space.

To explore the difference between wanting from a place of lack and allowing desire to be an expression of our aliveness.

And perhaps, to discover what becomes possible when we stop negotiating with our desires before we've even listened to them.

You don't need to know how you're going to get what you want.

You don't even need to know whether you'll get it.

For one afternoon, we're simply going to practice telling the truth about what is here.

What would you allow yourself to want if you didn't have to know how you were going to get it?

As always, Sacred Sisters will be experiential, relational and embodied. We'll move beyond simply talking about these ideas and explore them through the body, movement, reflection, connection and shared experience.

Come exactly as you are.

And maybe, bring the desires you've been afraid to say out loud.

Come if…

  • You long for deeper, more meaningful connection, with yourself and with others.

  • You want to deepen your capacity to trust yourself, your body, and your inner knowing.

  • You want to explore the parts of yourself and your experience that you may not always have space for elsewhere.

  • You want to experience what it feels like to stay connected to yourself while in relationship with others.

  • You want to give your nervous system and attachment system new experiences of safety, connection, expression, and being seen.

  • You’re ready to meet yourself more fully: your emotions, your needs, your truth, your edges, and everything in between.

  • You want to move beyond simply understanding yourself and into experiences that can actually be felt in your body.

  • You want a space to explore, experiment, play, connect, and discover new ways of being.

  • You want to experience being witnessed and known without having to perform or be anything other than what you are.

  • You feel moved to come, or something in you feels resistance, and you’re curious about what might be there.

This workshop is for you if you want to experience what it feels like to feel SAFE to show up as you truly are, and explore the ripple effects this will have in all aspects of your life!

When: Sunday, October 18th, 2026 from 1:30pm to 5pm (arrival at 1:15pm)

Where: In the West Island (exact location details will be sent once ticket is purchased) free parking + accessible by bus.

Light snacks will be served.

Animation SÉCURITAIRE et sensible aux traumas.

Ces ateliers ne sont pas que de la théorie, ce sont des expériences incarnées.

VOULOIR PLUS

Une exploration incarnée du désir et de la peur d’en vouloir trop

Qu’est-ce que tu veux vraiment?

Pas ce qui te semble raisonnable.
Pas ce pour quoi tu penses que tu devrais être reconnaissante.
Pas ce qui te semble réaliste ou atteignable.

Qu’est-ce que tu veux lorsque tu te permets de vouloir?

Plus d’amour.
Plus d’argent.
Plus de plaisir.
Plus de soutien.
Plus d’intimité.
Plus de liberté.
Plus de repos.
Plus de beauté.
Plus d’espace.
Plus de vitalité.

Il peut y avoir quelque chose d’incroyablement vulnérable dans le fait de vouloir plus.

Parce que le désir nous demande de reconnaître l’espace entre ce que nous avons et ce à quoi nous aspirons.

Et parfois, il semble plus sécuritaire de ne rien vouloir du tout.

On se dit qu’on n’a pas besoin de tant que ça.
Qu’on devrait être heureuses avec ce qu’on a.
Qu’on en demande trop.
Qu’on n’est pas réalistes.
Qu’on ne veut pas trop espérer pour ne pas être déçues.

Parfois, on rapetisse nos désirs avant même d’avoir eu la chance de les ressentir pleinement.

Parfois, on se déconnecte complètement de ce que l’on veut.

Et parfois, dès qu’on se permet de ressentir pleinement ce que l’on désire, la peur surgit :

Et si je ne l’obtiens pas?
Et si vouloir cela faisait de moi quelqu’un d’égoïste ou d’ingrat?
Et si j’étais trop?
Et si la vie que je désire exigeait que je change?
Et si je finissais par ne plus avoir ma place auprès de quelque chose, ou de quelqu’un, que j’aime?

Mais vouloir plus ne veut pas nécessairement dire vouloir plus grand.

« Plus » peut vouloir dire plus de douceur.

Plus de temps.

Plus d’honnêteté.

Plus de créativité.

Plus de profondeur.

Plus de soutien.

Plus d’espace pour respirer.

Plus de toi.

Lors de ce Sacred Sisters, nous allons explorer notre relation au désir, non pas sous l’angle de la manifestation, de l’accomplissement ou de la recherche de moyens pour obtenir ce que nous voulons, mais à travers l’expérience de nous permettre de vouloir.

Observer ce qui se passe dans notre corps lorsque nous entrons en contact avec le désir.

Rencontrer les parties de nous qui ont appris qu’il n’était pas sécuritaire d’en vouloir trop, d’avoir trop de besoins, de trop demander ou de prendre trop de place.

Explorer la différence entre vouloir à partir d’un sentiment de manque et permettre au désir d’être une expression de notre vitalité.

Et peut-être découvrir ce qui devient possible lorsque nous cessons de négocier avec nos désirs avant même de les avoir écoutés.

Tu n’as pas besoin de savoir comment tu vas obtenir ce que tu veux.

Tu n’as même pas besoin de savoir si tu l’obtiendras.

Pendant un après-midi, nous allons simplement nous exercer à dire la vérité sur ce qui est là.

Qu’est-ce que tu te permettrais de vouloir si tu n’avais pas besoin de savoir comment tu allais l’obtenir?

Comme toujours, Sacred Sisters sera une expérience relationnelle, expérientielle et incarnée. Nous irons au-delà du simple fait de parler de ces idées pour les explorer à travers le corps, le mouvement, la réflexion, la connexion et l’expérience partagée.

Viens exactement comme tu es.

Et peut-être, apporte avec toi les désirs que tu as eu peur de dire à voix haute.

Viens si…

  • Tu aspires à des connexions plus profondes et plus significatives, avec toi-même et avec les autres.

  • Tu souhaites approfondir ta capacité à te faire confiance, à faire confiance à ton corps et à ton savoir intérieur.

  • Tu souhaites explorer les parties de toi et de ton expérience auxquelles tu n’as pas toujours l’espace nécessaire pour faire une place ailleurs.

  • Tu souhaites découvrir ce que ça fait de rester connectée à toi-même tout en étant en relation avec les autres.

  • Tu souhaites offrir à ton système nerveux et à ton système d’attachement de nouvelles expériences de sécurité, de connexion, d’expression et d’être vue.

  • Tu es prête à te rencontrer plus pleinement : tes émotions, tes besoins, ta vérité, tes limites et tout ce qui se trouve entre les deux.

  • Tu souhaites aller au-delà de la simple compréhension de toi-même pour vivre des expériences qui peuvent réellement être ressenties dans ton corps.

  • Tu souhaites avoir un espace pour explorer, expérimenter, jouer, connecter et découvrir de nouvelles façons d’être.

  • Tu souhaites faire l’expérience d’être vue et connue sans avoir à performer ni à être autre chose que qui tu es.

  • Tu te sens appelée à venir, ou quelque chose en toi ressent de la résistance et tu es curieuse de découvrir ce qui pourrait s’y trouver.

Cet atelier est pour toi si tu souhaites faire l’expérience de ce que ça fait de te sentir EN SÉCURITÉ d’être pleinement qui tu es, et explorer les effets que cela peut avoir dans toutes les sphères de ta vie!

Testimonials

  • I had no idea what i was getting myself into going into this women's circle but on my journey to discovering myself, new things are to be welcomed. I was of course nervous for the first few moments, but the energy was just so calming and envelopping that i quickly put my guard down without even realizing it. Throughout the sharing, the exercices and the journaling i just felt growth growth and more growth. Time just flew. And the instant connection formed with the other women there was just so nice. 0 judgement, 0 negativity just acceptance. I cannot wait for more workshops!

  • The entire workshop was transformative, truly. I feel like I was just re-born. I am still floating! I lack the words to describe how amazing it has been to work with Stephanie and to be part of these women's circles. After the last Circle I attended, holding hands, I left floating. I felt for the first time in a very long time held by other women in a way that felt incredibly loving, kind, and authentic. I felt safe, I felt supported and I felt a sense of community like no other. Thank you STEPHANIE for being the beautiful Creator of these connection moments. And thank you to my fellow sacred sisters for taking the plunge and being vulnerable enough to participate in these transformative workshops. You are my people, I am not alone.

    V.B.

  • I can't say enough about Stephanie's facilitation skills. She is extremely knowledgeable, unique and loving, and I appreciate how skillfully she creates the safe space. It is such a great learning experience: The theories being taught, the self reflection questions, and the interactive discussions. Every workshop is impactful and gives me a lot to reflect on. I heal more and more each time!

  • This was my first Sacred Sisters workshop. I wasn't sure what to expect, but from the moment I walked into the space I felt welcome and comfortable. Stephanie is amazing at presenting topics in a way that are accessible, and has an amazing way of helping people stay present, safe and supported. I will definitely be attending the next one.

  • Stephanie does an amazing job at making everybody feel welcome. I think for one of the very first times in my life my no is respected just as much as my yes. She created a safe place for me to connect to other women as well as my myself. I was able to connect to parts of me deep emotions that were so buried I didn't even realize I had buried them. I was able to connect to parts of myself that I don't even have words for. I love looking in the "mirror" and being asked to trust a process that at times is uncomfortable, but by the end of it, I feel a little more whole and connected to myself to others then I did before the adventure started.

    Jane B.

  • Everything was wonderful! The connection with self, others, and nature, the safety, vulnerability, deep healing and growth. All aspects of the workshop and all activities were incredibly engaging and helpful.

  • The coming togetherness of different women with different backgrounds, and understanding that at the end of the day, we’re all human beings processing human emotions, and that’s it’s okay to not always be okay, and that there’s support not too far, and sometimes the best support is from strangers who become friends through beautiful moments experienced such as in yesterday’s workshop. I really appreciated the exercise of staring in a stranger’s eyes and saying “I see you”. That spoke to me a lot. Of course the gift giving experience was super fun too! You’re amazing!! Thanks Steph! :)

    Amelie C.

  • I knew how powerful it is to heal in a circle of women, and this workshop confirmed this for me! We were 5 women that just needed to feel seen, held, and witnessed...and that happened and so much more! Forever grateful to Stephanie for creating this container and space. <3

    Natalie Goerner

  • It sure was a gift yesterday, many thanks again, wow, I didn’t realize how badly I needed to be seen, witnessed and mostly held. You have a real gift of creating the safest space for people - it is truly inspiring. Thanks again for an unforgettable experience!

“My time with Stephanie has been life changing. 

I am in awe of the amount and extent of shifts in my ways of thinking about myself and how I navigate in the world around me in the 9 months I have been fortunate to be in her classes and energetic space. 

Her energy and words reinforces her ability to create loving, non judgemental, safe spaces for a collective of strangers in a very short period of time. 

Stephanie's skills and history of training in trauma informed care make a powerful impact on the energy and movement of sharing in circles. 

I have observed in myself a new found openness to express myself without fear of rejection. Fears I did not even have clarity on or aware they existed in my mind. 

The spaces Stephanie creates include healing thru silence and breath work and grounding practices. I continue to learn about how our nervous system can be retrained like a baby's brain creating new connections and re-definitions of what is true and actually real. (Hint- it is not at all what you believe!)

She holds up guardrails for us and invites us through inquiry to help us go deeper. 

My school aged children have likely benefited as much as I have from the healing I am experiencing as I am breaking the cycles from previous generations driven by fear and lack. 

The most beautiful and life reinforcing aspect for me has been taking the circle practice to women on the outside. In text exchanges, sides of sports fields, offering of hugs... 

I have been connecting with women in ways I never knew could exist. Some of whom I have known on surface level for a while or known for a short time, share that my energy and words have changed their perspective about being vulnerable when given a non-judgemental and supportive space to share their deepest fears. 

Female bonding and connecting for the win!

I have nothing but gratitude for every single interaction I have with Stephanie. 

Her grace, her compassion, her boundaries, her honoring and celebrating my "no" 's as a full sentence; her teaching me how to listen into my heart to know what I truly want and need; holding space to practice expressing it, learning to love all the parts of myself both physically and mentally; and celebrating even the darkest parts for revealing themselves for me to show compassion towards myself.

For teaching me how to trust other women and unprogram that we are all in competition with each other. 

For teaching me how to create, call in and manifest stronger female, supportive, village bonds. 

I cannot believe or express how beautiful it has been for other women to reach out to me to connect and hang out. 

That I feel healthy and strong enough to welcome them into my deepest and darkest too. Shining a light on 'hey, me too!'. 

Through my work with Stephanie, I am learning to Trust that my body will express itself in all the ways I have been conditioned to shut it down. 

Turning the music up and dancing and singing to my own beats. 

I continue to discover how to listen to my heart and honor it. 

I have gone deeper in 9 months than I have in 4 years of cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR. 

I had often been a silent observer in group settings, scanning for threats or risk of shame or rejection. Leading vs being part of the group. I had developed my way of being distant from the collective. Isolating myself and my needs in order to be accepted by others. 

I learned that that had been my coping mechanism to handle rejection and not having my needs met growing up. 

In spaces with Stephanie, I open up willingly and with an open heart as she welcomes it and celebrates it. 

I had no idea this way of living even existed and I am and will be forever grateful for the work Stephanie does with me. 

I am honored to be held in a space with her.

I am humbled to be held in a space with her.

I am filled with gratitude to be held in a space by her. 

I invite you to give space for yourself to be held in Stephanie's circles, workshops, TRE classes or 1 on 1s. 

It is truly the most priceless gift I have given myself and wish for you the same.”
