A Transformative Experience of Feminine & Masculine Power
** Are you more luscious, deep down, than one might observe in your everyday life? This one’s for you! **
I’m going to spend seven weeks this fall with a group of just 10 women in the Seattle area, turning up their power – both masculine and feminine – and the lusciousness on every level of their lives.
Are you one of them? If you are, you’ll just know it, because you:
Really dig who you are… AND want to love, respect, and trust yourself a whole lot more than you already do
Kick butt at everything you do… but unfortunately wind up depleted, exhausted, depressed, or even sick, all too often
Would love to end this year feeling more sustainable, relaxed, sexy, intuitive, vibrant, and inspiring to yourself and those around you
Kind of wonder “is this all there is?” You want to feel really turned on by your life…And that feels both very close and very far away
Want to turn up the fun, respect, adoration, and ease in your relationship – or create a new relationship where all those qualities are running strong
Know that you have both a masculine and a feminine side… But kind of lurch between them or don’t know how to use them consciously and powerfully
If that sounds like you, join us.
I just got a beautiful (and wonderfully common!) e-mail from one of our Elements of Feminine Power retreat graduates from this April. She said,
“I could write a book, so many delicious things, so many changes :~) I know that woman that walked into that room in April is rendering an incredible life force of energy and love and she is anew.”
That’s what’s in store for you with this program this fall. One luscious bite at a time, you’re going to lap up the luscious feminine wisdom I’ve got to teach you. It’ll transform every itchy, too-tight, or just plain boring corner of your life… without your really trying!
“You changed my life….”
I was a stressed out banker that was working my tail off trying to “keep up.” After working with you I appreciate how much influence I have over the pace and feel of my day. I also understand the more stressed I am, the less effective I am. I now have tools to break the cycle, reconnect with myself and my work and believe it or not, my productivity has gone up, but it just feels easier. Plus, I had the courage to take a six-month sabbatical in New Zealand with my husband and our animals.— Lisa McCloud, Business Banker
I’ve never been so excited about any program I’ve led – in 14 years as a coach and facilitator. This work grew out of the Elements of Feminine Power retreat I’ve led seven times with Sara Harvey Yao and out of my own in-depth studies with Dara McKinley and Alison Armstrong, delving into what feminine power can really do for us – and what we can do for the world when we live from our feminine side, without foresaking our masculine.

Thank you for helping me work through blocks that had me stuck for 10 years. Really. I wish I could tell everyone: ‘If you’re smart, successful, and think nobody can help you, hire Michele.’”

About Your Facilitator:
Michele Lisenbury Christensen I’m a seasoned business and personal coach who learned, long after my masters’ degree and many years’ experience, to bring my feminine power to work. Everything’s a whole lot easier now, because I can be smart without trying to prove it. I’m direct without being harsh. And I attend to details without being uptight. All of which is contagious to my clients and group participants. Clients say I tell them the truth no one else will and that business and life both get easier, more fun, and more luscious when I’m around. My signature qualities are infectious joy, incisive intelligence, broadband spiritual connection, and a luscious, sensual presence. I’m soulful but irreverent, a gregarious introvert, and a discipline-free yogini. I weigh half again what I weighed when I gradated from high school, and I feel sexier and more beautiful now than I did then. I combine a nourishing and impactful career with a fierce devotion to motherhood and marriage, and a bedrock commitment to keeping myself nourished and juicy. As a result, my business and life contain a ton of motion and generous swaths of stillness. There’s client time, time to “steer the ship,” family time, yoga & meditation time, girlfriend time, community time, date night with Kurt, and time with my amazing toddler son Cooper. This consciously designed, ever-evolving life is my greatest accomplishment and my most meaningful credential. |
PS: You’re making a decision on whether or not to invest in your feminine power. If you consult your linear, logical, masculine side, it will analyze and dissect and probably find a good reason you should invest in something more “productive” instead. Do you see how that’s more of the same? Since you got this far, I know the feminine in you is intrigued. Perhaps even hungry. Even if you haven’t trusted that part of you in years, go ahead and listen to her urging right now. She’s trying to tell you that you need something different. Join us.
