Find your people.

Work with me and you’ll get connected.

Highly curated content—and membership.

You don’t join groups lightly. I get it. Neither do I.

You ask a lot of questions because you’ve had some not-so-great experiences with groups and have no interest in repeating them.
You want to know who is in the group because you want to feel at home—like you belong and can relate but won’t be asked to lead.
You’re tired of organizing and leading everything.

But inevitably, people who know me or work with me want to meet each other. That where I come in and work my magic.

I don’t just design and facilitate groups—I form them with you in mind. My groups offer you the chance to catch your breath and get inspired by new ideas, fresh perspectives, and different people.

I do the heavy lifting—you get the benefit.

Here’s what I’ve got for you

On Being a Woman

This five-month circle experience happens during the darkest part of the winter each year and is where it all began for me at SheChanges—sitting with the deeply personal question of what it means to be a woman. Each in-person gathering centers on a different topic designed to help us explore, define, and reimagine what we want our experience of being a woman to look and feel like—on our own terms and in our own way. This experience will plug you back into your own truth, unlock deeper levels of your power, and help you to hear your own clear voice that has been there all along–just waiting for a quiet moment to be heard.

In Her Words

This is a six-week writing experience for women interested in mining for deeper levels of truth living inside them—using a pen. Resting on the belief that the answers to some of our biggest questions are already inside us, this highly-structured offering will hold you accountable to go in and get what you might have been avoiding—or pretending not to know. It’s all done over the phone, which contributes to its power because we create a safer—and more sacred—container that is only defined by our individual voices and the words we choose to share within it. To enter into this written word experience is to dip into a holy well of women’s wisdom that’s as old as time—and yet completely refreshing.

In Her Words 2

This highly curated group is designed exclusively for women who have already made their way through the original 6-week In Her Words series. It’s a bit more accelerated – just 3 weeks this time— and includes a 1:1 coaching session with me to be used after the series. Because you’ve already participated in the initial series, you’ve got the process dialed in and know the drill each week. You’ve experienced the power of the Read Aloud and have successfully made it over the hurdle of sharing your words with a group of committed and courageous strangers doing the same. You’ve tasted the sweetness of the truth that can flow out of your pen. This experience offers a group of five women the chance to go in and mine for some more.

The Men I Know

As the name implies, this five-month group experience is for the men I know who are interested in exploring what it means to be a man in this world—especially now when there is such an intense gaze on the hyper-masculine, male-dominated culture of our society. This in-person experience is perfect for men who are tired of shallow conversations around sports, drinking or work—but are turned off by drum circles, religious or therapeutic men’s groups. This circle, facilitated by Lael, offers a group of five men the space to explore five key topics with humor and heart, thoughtfulness and reflection, and discussion and story. Men show up as they are, keep it real, and go deep into where their hearts, minds, and spirits lead them.

SheWolves

This five-month circle experience is only available for women who have already participated in my On Being a Woman circle. Threads are pulled more specifically from that experience as we go inside our stories and underneath conventional thought to get at conversations of feminine power, magic, our sexuality, creativity, spirituality, service, medicine and masculine energy. The aim of this experience is to unearth the bones of what we have forgotten—our wisdom, our ways and our innate powers as women. We explore more deeply what it means to be a woman in the world today—specifically with regard to our power, how we show up, and how we lead—as a means to reimagine our world, our work in it, and our service to it.

Home Tree Groups

Harnessing the power of my match-making abilities along with the trust I have been given so generously by my clients over the years, these kindred-spirit groups allow me to intentionally and strategically connect people in my SheChanges community. Centering on shared energy and using reflection and writing as our primary tool, these intimate groups of 3 are designed to support you in mining for your truth in the midst of the swirl—to inform your choices and allow you to live a life with more integrity. I will be your common denominator to orient you to each other and the process as your home tree takes root, but the magic is what happens over time beyond my involvement.

Beach Bonfires

These virtual gatherings are available seasonally for white women in my SheChanges community (including me) to do our racial justice work together. No training or content is delivered, and this isn’t a program or a bookclub—it’s just an invitation to show up, share any insights, resources, or learnings you’ve had, and learn from other white women who are doing the work of dismantling systemic racism—it’s activism, starting with ourselves. This is the place white women do our work and pay it forward to Black women and girls. 100% of the registrations each season are donated to the Loveland Foundation’s Therapy Fund.

If being with a group doesn’t feel right for you, but you’re still hungry for some inspiration to help you catch your breath, get some perspective, and fortify yourself for the road ahead—check this out…

I’ve created a course to walk you through the ten practices I reach for in transition.

Many have called this my “Mary Poppins bag of tricks” because its filled to the brim with strategies, practices, rituals and activities to try—it’s a “spoonful of sugar” that keeps spooning.

This course is on-demand, so you’ll get a PDF of it emailed to you immediately upon purchase.

Stand tall, my friend.

Group Testimonials

Here’s what it’s like to participate in one of the groups I offer—right out of the mouths of my clients. Trust them, they know.

Read Testimonials

Lael creates heart-opening, mind-opening, body-opening, possibility-opening structures in which women can play. She gives us guides and guidance and ways to pay attention. And then she gives us total permission to ignore all of it.

It was the perfect cocktail of masterful orchestration and gentle coaxing. The group settled into itself and in the deadest part of winter and magic happened.

I am profoundly grateful Lael has created this space to learn and grow, gather and discuss, and to take action. I’m learning on multiple levels.

Something incredible happened in this intimate group of women that helped me see myself more clearly. It blew me away.

Fiery missives. Stories with heart. Fresh perspectives. Nutrient-rich field notes.
