THE ALTAR

The purpose of an altar is to act as a window to the Divine — to open the channels of communication to the world of Spirit by virtue of the purity of its intention and the use to which it is put.

INTRODUCING
The Altar:
Embodying Surrender in Service
Trusting the Vision
March 16 - April 20
Eclipse season is nearly here, ushering in a time of deep reflection, release, and realignment. As the lunar nodes shift into Virgo (South Node) and Pisces (North Node), we are called to find balance between practical service and inspired vision—between devotion to the path and trust in the unknown.
At the same time, Pluto has now fully entered Aquarius, where it will remain for the next 19 years, reshaping the world as we know it. Add in the upcoming Venus and Mercury retrogrades, and we have a season that asks us to slow down, listen deeply, and move with intention.
The Altar is a 6-week gathering space designed to help you navigate this portal with clarity, grounded presence, and sacred connection. It’s about more than just personal reflection—it’s about integrating what’s shifting within us so we can show up fully for our communities and the collective transformation underway.
What to Expect
Starting on the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo (March 13) and culminating after the Libra Full Moon (April 17), we will meet weekly for 90 minutes of practice, reflection, and shared wisdom. Each session will include:
✨ Embodiment Practices – Breathwork, movement, and grounding techniques to anchor into the body
✨ Meditation & Ritual – Attuning to the shifting energies with intention
✨ Astrological Insights – Understanding the current transits and how they impact us personally and collectively
✨ Journaling & Self-Inquiry – Tracking inner and outer evolution through guided prompts
✨ Sacred Witnessing & Discussion – A space for honest reflection, perspective, and connection
✨ Integration Tools – Practical ways to apply what we explore to daily life
Why This Matters
We are moving through a time of deep transition—not just personally, but collectively. This space is about more than self-care; it’s about building the resilience needed to stand in both service and trust. By tending to ourselves, we strengthen our ability to show up for our relationships, our communities, and the vision we are each here to bring forward.
Virgo calls us to devotion. Pisces calls us to surrender. The Altar is where we honor both.
If you’re ready to move through eclipse season with intention, navigate retrogrades with clarity, and root into the long-term shifts ahead with the support of a like-hearted circle, this space is for you.
We begin March 16. Step into the portal.

The Altar was a radiant beacon of light guiding me back to shore. At a time when I felt lost, the altar called me home to an inner knowing and ritual that realigned me to the rhythm of my soul. I am forever grateful to Stephanie for providing not only the sacred container but the guidance to tap into my power of alchemy and ability to self-heal. During the six weeks I transmuted my pain to progress and my fear to fortitude. My heart has been cracked wide open and both strength and softness has emerged, along with a daily practice of movement and meditation, medicine to my soul and psyche

Musings from The Altar
This morning I sat at my altar — well, my altar for today. A little end table with a plant upon it, in the corner of a sweet room in a mountain home where I am a guest for a few days. I lit a candle, burned a little palo santo, listened to a meditation, and journaled. My morning ritual hasn’t always looked this way, but years of dedication have made it a little more perfunctory. I pulled from my tarot deck — a beautiful version of the traditional Smith Rider Waite tarot — the first card was the four of wands, a celebration among friends and loved ones, feeling held and supported after experiencing great spiritual expansion. A card of joyful gratitude. The second, The Empress — an embodiment of receiving the earth’s bounty with grace and ease, a card of abundance, feeling surrounded by life’s pleasures and luxuries. The third, the eight of pentacles— honing my craft, success through hard and diligent work, a card of devotion. And lastly, the sun, shining new life upon these endeavors. A card of hope, of vitality.
I looked up to bask in this reading, and take in my beautiful surroundings. A window to the left shows the moon setting over the mountains — she’s waning gibbous today. A window to the right shows a rocky hillside. Perhaps this is where my altar has always found me, between the moon and a hard place.

It’s an honor to be here, my friends…
Once upon a time I was a corporate queen with a successful media career and seemingly perfect marriage, then my life unraveled and I experienced an intense dark night of the soul that brought me face to face with my demons. Through that experience and the exploration of yoga + other spiritual practices, I started to discover the power of alchemizing shadow into fuel for transformation. I am passionate about creating safe, sacred spaces that provide a refuge for those seeking deeper connection. My work is an invitation to heal your connection to your own heart, and the sacred, to encourage deeper inner-standing and unlayering of yourself.
STEP INTO YOUR SACRED
Don't miss this opportunity to nurture your unique sacred feminine essence and connect with a community that celebrates all of you. Let The Altar be your space to return on this transformative journey. Space in our virtual container will be limited to 10 radiant souls, claim your spot now!

“Stephanie is a gift to this world. She is a guiding light, leading others into their own transformation by way of movement through connection - connection to body. Connection to feeling. Connection to something much larger than oneself alone. Her work shows us what is possible when we choose to remain open and awake.”
