I'm Making the Leap - and an Invitation

If I knew life was fully supporting me—and leaning toward my deepest longings would only expand my positive impact in the world—what would I say?

I asked myself this question, and here’s what came:

Dear Friends,

There’s a dream I’ve been carrying that feels both deeply right and totally unrealistic at the same time.

A voice I’ve learned to trust says this is the next step, while the fearful part of me keeps saying, “But there’s no way I can afford it.”

Sharing this with you felt impossibly vulnerable just last week. And yet the call is strong enough that it’s already reshaping me — inviting me to take my practice, my service, and my trust in life to the next level.

Two years ago, I had the immense privilege of traveling to South India for a profoundly healing retreat at the foot of Arunachala, the sacred mountain where Ramana Maharshi lived. That experience went so deep, it shifted the course of my life in ways I could never have predicted.

Within six months of returning, I found myself joyfully completing my 16-year chapter in New Orleans and moving to Philadelphia — guided entirely by an inner knowing. I found a home that felt like a dream and was welcomed into a community of people whose values and vision resonate deeply with my own.

Now my work is blossoming. I support clients I adore, co-teach two 16-week courses and host a monthly mystical practice circle. More than anything, I feel more joy, coherence, and spaciousness in my life — and can see how that joy ripples outward.

All of this has brought me closer to the work I know I’m here to do.

And now, my intuition is telling me it’s time to return to Arunachala this January.

I feel called back into that profound stillness, love, and clarity — to shed another layer, to listen more deeply, and to come home to myself in a way that will allow me to serve from an even more grounded, inspired place.

This call toward pilgrimage has already stretched me into offering more. And it has also led me to this moment of asking for support.  

Given everything happening on this planet, I’ve realized that what I really can’t afford is to not go all-in on my on my most joyful, soul-aligned life.  So I’m taking a deep breath and putting my self out there.

If you're feeling like 2026 is a year in which you, too, want to be guided more strongly by your inner knowing — and less by the voice that shuts you down — I hope this message feels like permission to lean in.

The workshop and coaching sessions I'm offering below will not only help me fund my own "unrealistic" dream — they'll be an investment in nurturing support for yours too. 

If you feel moved to support this pilgrimage, I am gifting a workshop and one-on-one coaching sessions in exchange. 

Please click here to donate and receive a gift card(s).  These can also be given to anyone whose life journey you want to support. 

My hope is that this journey ripples far beyond me — into my work, my clients, and the communities I serve.  If you feel inspired to support this journey — and receive coaching or the workshop in return — your contribution will directly help make it possible.

With love and gratitude,

Hannah
