12 Month Group Program [2018/2019]

Expanding & Deepening into Your Essential Self!

I want to really celebrate each of you for all the amazing ways you are claiming your essential self, intuition, expression, enough-ness, and so much more over our past 12 month cycle.

We live in a world where now more than ever it is vital to live as our essential selves, and say THIS IS ME without apologizing for all of who we are (even the parts we deem as unlovable). Women who are owning and leading their life in their essence (being it not just doing it) is SO needed on this planet at this time as we can see with what has been happening politically, with the metoo movement, etc., and each of you are so beautifully stepping into more and more of who you are.

So many people are not willing to take these steps into claiming who they are at the core and then taking action and bringing their desires into fruition and manifestation. They are too much in grips of fear of what others might think, or what could happen if they were to really claim themselves. Or some don’t even know this is a possibility, AND so I really want to acknowledge each of you for the big steps you are taking to create this reality for yourself.

I am sure you are already beginning to feel the real visceral effects and deepening of experiencing yourself living from your essence over the past 12 months. The powerful effects of what living from your essential self creates and feels like.

You’ve done so much work in the last 12 months and really a lot of the work has been:

  • claiming your essential expression and even knowing what the heck that is!
  • deepening a relationship to your intuition and intuitive voice
  • learning how to meet and presence trauma and big life events that are unexpected
  • deepening your relationship to your feelings and opening more deeply into meeting them as your ally
  • learning how to create and embody space in your life; knowing and feeling the importance of claiming your space on all levels
  • continuing to understanding your patterns and habits and fears and desires

I see so much for each of you from this ongoing work and foundation you have laid moving forward, and as we know growth comes in many layers and there’s more to explore from a space of already being enough. So much of the work that has already been done in the past year and half or more has been about moving from this place of feeling closed off, disconnected from all parts of yourself and who you are, and not accepting yourself and your habits and your patterning into being more open and deeply connected with your truest most authentic self.

Now on this path of self acceptance if you continue with this work what is possible is to go even deeper and deeper and deeper into self acceptance and self love and really taking the outer action steps towards the goals that you want. Having the support to meet the habits and patterns that are still covering up what you knows you’re meant to live into and go direct with throughout this next year, and living into your extraordinary life.

AND SO THESE NEXT STEPS IS A NEW 12 MONTH CONTAINER,

…. because the work that we’re going to be doing is so deep, sacred, so transformative, that it’s essential to give it space and time to integrate because truly this program is not intended to add “one more thing to your plate” but rather to help you streamline your life so you feel liberated in your energy and free to be (as you’ve experienced in this last 12 months).

You’ll see as we cycle through the next 12 months that your relationship to yourself will become stronger and stronger and stronger…

You’ll see as we walk through these next 12 months your level of self-love and your ability to honor yourself and accept and celebrate yourself will continue to increase exponentially,

As we walk together next year you’ll notice that you’ll continue to settle in in a way that you never thought possible. That you move through your life with even more flow and ease, that’s it’s easier to make decisions and you feel more clarity about your own life path and the choices you want to make, because you’re that much more connected to your heart and your inner wisdom. That it’s easier to move your projects forward because your more expanded into your confidence, and your ability to move through your resistance is that much stronger.

These next 12 months you’ll continue to expand into feeling even more clear on what you want. To walk in the world facing and feeling and going direct with your expression. Feeling in the flow, rather than at the effect of your life and the experiences you have.

You’ll also see that this program continues to become a touchstone, a place to land, to deepen, to keep remembering what is true for you so you don’t get swept up into the incessant noise of society, or push your self-care and nourishment to the bottom of the list.

But perhaps most powerful of all, if you choose to continue this work, and walk these next 12 months in this sacred container, you’ll experience the most important thing of all, and that is your freedom and your liberation from the fears and the patterns and the beliefs that exhaust you, that keep you small, that keep you feeling like you always need more.

There are 3 Different Pathways Home

Pathway #1 – (Group Centered)

1 [6-hour] Group kickoff session on a Saturday 6/23/18 {9:30 AM – 3:30 PM, with an hour lunch break}

11 [2 1/2-hour] In-person group sessions [DATES BELOW]

8 [75-minute] Mastermind Zoom sessions [DATES BELOW]

2 [4-hour] Virtual Self-Care Mini-Retreat Days with the Yoga’licious client community [DATES BELOW]

Special admission to once/year Overnight Summer Retreat in Ojai- 4 days/3 nights (all inclusive: food & lodging included). This first retreat of the 3 retreats this cycle, is a larger 4-day retreat where the woman both from our 12-month program as well as women not in the program will come together in Ojai for a nourishment of self expression and deepened self acceptance; really claiming This is ME. It’s deeply meaningful as well as so much fun to sit in circle with this larger group of 22 women as we do our very important work. This retreat includes all food and lodging and activities. 

2 [3-Day] Group Retreats (overnight with timing of 9:30-5:30ish on Friday and Saturday, and Sunday from 9-3:00 pm.  Lunches for the 3 days are included (a $175 lodging fee per retreat, is a separate fee and not included in cost of the program).

The next two retreats will be EVEN more sacred and deep than the first….it’s hard to imagine that’s even possible! The second two retreats we get to be just our intimate group in the 12-month program, where the sisterhood feels even stronger, the vulnerability, growth and opportunity for transformation go even deeper…not only because of our tight-knit sister circle, but because we have that first retreat at Ojai to set us up. 
 
These second two retreats are 3-days each. Different from years past, the retreat will be an overnight one where you have the opportunity to remain in the container for the entire time instead of going home. I am so excited about this because it means that so much more can happen. You will have the evenings and early mornings to yourself, but you will see what a difference it makes to stay in the feeling of the sacred space. These two retreats themselves are included in your program fee + lunches for all 3 days, and there is a just a $175/retreat overnight fee as well that you’ll pay about a month before each of the retreats.

“Since I began the Yoga’licious program, I have a different relationship with my body, one of appreciation. I look at my body and appreciate how strong I am. When I take care of my body, nourish my body, my body does such amazing, incredible things for me. This is such a revelation for me as I was used to seeing all my imperfections and focusing on those. Now I see that when I appreciate, am gentle with and care for my body, I am that way with the rest of the world. The 6-month program and the ones before it were fun, informative, and replenishing. The 9-month program has been an in depth, transformational experience. Investing in myself in this way has shifted the way I live my life. In this program I’ve learned how to prioritize my needs and meet them FIRST without guilt or remorse. I’ve learned that when I gift myself in this way, EVERYONE in my world benefits. Melanie’s approach is nothing I’ve ever experienced before. She’s a mystical blend of coach, sage, Goddess, and your best girlfriend. She sees you and I mean really sees you AND THEN she gets you. That’s a powerful combo for feeling seen, got, heard, and validated. She’s incredibly loving, nurturing and makes you feel safe no matter what you’re exploring.” -Sonia Diaz-Ebad


 

“Through Melanie’s programs like Yoga’licious as well as the retreats, I have been empowered to trust my intuition, prioritize self-care and embrace what I really want in my life. As a result I have found more freedom of expression, more authentic connection with myself and others and an ability to truly feel grounded in the choices I make. I have loved having a group of sisters to truly connect and grow with as we explore the power of our not-so-inner fierce and feminine selves! Now that I am a mother, self-care has become trickier and also more precious yet with Melanie’s support I have been able to redefine my all or nothing approach to so many things, including self-care. This collaborative relationship with Melanie has been powerful yet she never claims to have all the answers. Her coaching and support mean that she is there shining a flashlight into the darkest parts of my life and my ego, illuminating what I often already know, but is just buried or hidden somewhere deep. Together the exploration has led to lasting shifts in how I do life and a continued willingness to playfully practice further.” –Courtney D.


 

When I first started working with Melanie I was searching for friendship and guidance. My husband and I had recently moved to Santa Barbara, and I was fighting depression and anxiety. The move really turned my world upside down. I was invited to a yoga class by a new friend, and from there I met Melanie. I knew she was special from the start and I was drawn to her energy. She announced at the end of class she was starting a juicy women’s group. Something inside of me was called to take a leap of faith and join this thing called Yoga’licious. I’m so glad I did! Fast forward 4 years later, and I still love working with Melanie and the amazing group of women who choose to be a part of Yoga’licious. I have learned how to move through my anxiety, choose my playmates, make conscious commitments, love my partner wholeheartedly and so much more. Putting my self care first has changed my life. I feel renewed, supported, confident and ever growing. Every woman deserves to have a supportive group of women in their corner. I encourage anyone thinking about working with Melanie to take the leap and invest in yourself. It will enrich your life, mind, body, and soul.
