Through emotionally rich and immersive activities, such as letter writing, discovering personal connections in meaningful objects, guided meditations, and discussions on abstract ideas like love, loss, and grief explored through literary greats such as bell hooks, Maya Angelou, and Toni Morrison, you will learn to release what’s been weighing you down and create space for curiosity, surprise, and joy.

This reflective exploration is your invitation to discover what it truly means to let go—with love, intention, and honesty. Rooted in the seasons and drawn from Chelene’s book Let It Go: Free Yourself From Old Beliefs and Find a New Path To Joy, these sessions blend gentle personal storytelling, creative reflection, soft movement, art-making, and deep emotional inquiry. The result is a powerful, often surprising cleanse for your body, heart, and whole self.

Chelene’s deepest desire is to help creative people carve out aligned space to live fully without compromise. She delights in guiding creative souls to value their voices in multiple ways. Letting go can be joyful, playful, and a practice that becomes part of your everyday life.

During our time together, you will explore the art of reading and rereading, noticing emotional shifts in storytelling, and uncovering the insights these shifts reveal about you. Letting go is a practice. Love plays a role. Language is an open window.

Chelene brings extensive experience as an author, certified coach, and mindfulness facilitator, cultivating a reflective approach that guides creative minds toward surprising and powerful moments of insight and delight. If you are open to being surprised and are a curious soul, these are the only prerequisites.

Leave with clarity on what you want more of, how to call it in, and why it matters, building the foundation for a home you never knew you needed.
