The Five Pillars of Purpose
June 29, 2025 Full Day Workshop and Retreat
Full Day Ticket Price: $157
What are the 5 Pillars of Purpose?
I've created The Five Pillars of Purpose to help you identify and follow the calling of your heart and stand rooted in your purpose. Each pillar is critical to understanding yourself, your essence, your worth, your life calling, and how to go forward. This is a blueprint - a foundation - that you can refer to and use time and time again as your life evolves and circumstances change. We will be drinking from a fire hose of information! But you will walk out of the workshop knowing yourself better, and with tools and skills to create the purpose in your life you were born to bring forth.
I have re-defined an old Mormon saying - “To fill the measure of your creation.” It was born over six years ago when I experienced a life wrecking Kundalini awakening. I realize I was lost in a jungle of other people’s expectations. My heart began to cry out - what am I here to bring to the world? Not my roles, not my titles. Who am I REALLY? What is my essence? What is my SOUL wanting to bring forth in this lifetime? What are my talents - not what I do, but WHO I AM? How can I REALLY fill the measure of my creation?
In the LDS church (I am a former Mormon incase you don’t know my story), “to fill the measure of your creation” was defined as: “to fulfill one’s Divine purpose as intended by God;” an external idea of meaning and purpose, dictated by the Church. Basically, it was used to indoctrinate women that their main Purpose and Joy in life was to be defined by their roles - as mothers, wives, and servants of God. They were to look OUT to inform them of what should bring them happiness and meaning… But what happens when you strip all that away?
Because that is exactly what happened to me. For TWO AND A HALF YEARS…
I was taken away from life as I knew it. My 16 year marriage ended, my belief in organized religion and the Christian God had to be dismantled, I lost many of my friends and community, my identity as an expat evaporated, I lost my mother to a sudden heart attack, and my kids were kept in another country on the other side of the world (they had been my everything)- oh and Covid.
Isolated in a town I had never lived in after the death of my mother during a world pandemic, I learned to Sit. Be Still. Listen for my Heart to speak. Feel Joy. Feel grief. Feel anger. Understand awe and wonder. Connect with my body and it’s powerful energy. I re-defined what faith and God meant (after not being able to utter the words God or Prayer for two years without being overcome with feelings of rage and betrayal -it was THAT painful for me). I rebuilt my idea of Spirituality from the INSIDE-OUT. I turned back to MYSELF, to find me again.
For two and a half years, the Universe had one path for me: work on healing yourself, and discover who you really are…
During the last six years, I have re-written this concept of “filling the measure of your creation” to mean: to fully embody your unique essence and potential, to live in alignment with who you truly are, and to express your gifts in a way that feels fulfilling and meaningful, seperate from roles or external expectations.
Most of us lose site of this in life. It’s no one’s fault. We learn to conform, to censor our voice, listen to our brain over our heart, and trust others more than ourselves to tell us the “right” or “safe” way to be in the world. And even once we’re aware, we still have to check ourselves! To learn to turn inward is a lifelong practice.
In this workshop, I will give you five critical pillars to identify and create purpose, as they have been revealed to me through my own work, working with others, leading groups, and in mediation with Source. Each one could (and will be in the future) their own workshop! Everything I create is intended for you to take into yourself, apply to your personal situation.
(everything in this program has been written and created by me - the human - not AI )
Everything I teach and share is meant to be a guide & framework- never a rule or absolute truth.
This work is YOURS. You are a sovereign Being, here to strengthen your connection with Source, Purpose, Your Higher Self, and your Personal Growth & Healing. It has been my experience that when you come seeking with an open heart, Source will answer you in a way that resonates perfectly.
I hope you allow me to share my wisdom, knowledge, and skills with you in this wonderful full day workshop. I would love to be a part of your beautiful and unique journey.

Why Starrette Farm & Retreat Center
I have had the opportunity to frequent this sacred location this year while attending one of their year-long offerings. Although I no longer identify as a Christian, I have been met with the utmost respect and have been deeply edified and enriched by their programs and events.
They very kindly have allowed Sacred Circles NC to rent their enchanting retreat center for the day. I can’t wait to show you!
At the Center you will find:
The retreat house - large, spacious and beautiful building with cozy rooms, and a home-like feel. With windows on every side, several decks with seating, the building itself is a adventure to explore.
The Hiking Trails - there are several short hiking trails with benches, swings, and motivational quotes along the way.
The Labyrinth - Journey over to the labyrinth to walk in meditation and contemplation
The “pond” - a quiet place to journal, reflect, have a quiet conversation, and connect with source.
For those that it interests: Stations of the Cross - walk the stations of the cross if it calls to your heart.
And so much more!
