Virtual Community Care + Connection Circle (Free)
“If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can’t survive.” ~ Brené Brown
Each listening circle is unique. Together, we set a container for collective care, embodied awareness, curiosity, creativity, acceptance, story-sharing, and presence.
2nd & 4th Mondays: 5:30-7:15 pm PST (California)
Connect with interesting new friends, participate in a collective of care and receive warm regard
Bare witness and be witnessed while being embraced wherever you are right now in body, mind, and heart
Relate with the present moment in a way that restores creativity, connection, and spaciousness
Build your capacity to use your body as a tool for stress-system management + self-regulation
Each week we share our own personal stories, practice a body-based self-regulation technique (or two) and set down our “doing” for an hour and forty-five minutes of “being with” our selves and each other.
In order to maintain an intimate container, attendance is limited. Register below.
ALL ARE WELCOME.
(Always free. Donations appreciated.) ♥️

artemisia shine helps people and communities get free.
She is a stand for your right to live from a care-ethic (rather than a work-ethic) so that you can attend to yourself, others and the community in ways that are inspired and joyful. As a queer, multi-racial, healer, mamma, and coyote medicine maker, artemisia has committed her life to examining and interrupting systems of oppression around gender, race, ecology, mental health, and ability. artemisia has a passion for bringing conscious movement, nonviolent communication, and body-based mindfulness to under-served marginalized groups, incarcerated populations and trauma-impacted communities.
Over 900+ hrs. of training as a certified Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist, 22 years of personal yoga practice, three 200hr Yoga Alliance teacher certifications and over 10 years in private practice as a trauma-focused healer, somatic therapist, and counselor enable her to meet you with profound presence and unconditional warm regard for whatever you bring to the table. Her work as a Community Organizer, gender justice advocate, social justice activist, yoga teacher, and violence prevention workshop facilitator within the criminal justice system gives her an intersectional lens on trauma and oppression.
In her free time, she can be found trying to snuggle her newly adult son, successfully snuggling her rattie loves, preparing delicious vegetarian decadence, wandering the local nature trails, pedaling barefoot thru the streets of San Luis Obispo, falling madly in love with random animals that cross her path, and laying naked along pristine coastlines soaking up the radiance of the sun.
