CLAIM • December
✨ What do you want — before you explain it, justify it, or make it useful to anyone else?
December moves us from noticing into claiming.
Once you begin hearing yourself more clearly, another challenge often appears: letting yourself actually want what you want.
Desire can be surprisingly vulnerable.
We edit it.
We make it practical.
We ask whether it is realistic.
We wonder what other people will think.
We decide we need a better reason.
In this gathering, we’ll practice meeting desire before all of that.
Through movement, reflection, Honest Mirror work and conversation, we’ll explore what becomes visible when you stop arguing with yourself long enough to hear what you actually want.
Not what you should want.
Not what looks impressive.
Not what would make the most sense on paper.
What feels alive.
🌿 December’s MAVE movement: CLAIM
This is not a demand to make a giant decision.
It is permission to tell yourself the truth.
To name the desire.
To let it exist before you ask it to prove itself.
✨ Bring:
📓 Your journal
🕯️ A candle
💧 Water
🧣 Comfortable clothes you can move in
🔮 Join live:https://secretgardensociety.com/mave-live
You do not need a better reason for wanting it.
First, let yourself want it.

CLAIM • December
✨ What becomes possible when you stop negotiating with what you know?
By now, you may have begun to notice what you want.
The next step is subtler.
Can you let it be true?
Not because you have a plan.
Not because anyone else understands it.
Not because it is convenient.
Not because you know exactly what will happen next.
Simply because something in you knows.
In this MAVE Gathering, we’ll work with the Honest Mirror — noticing the difference between what is actually true now and the old interpretations, expectations, fears or stories that rush in around it.
We’ll explore where you may be minimizing, explaining away, postponing or reshaping a desire in order to make it easier to live with.
Through movement, reflection and witnessing, we’ll practice meeting what is true with less argument and more self-trust.
🌿 December’s MAVE movement: CLAIM
Claiming does not mean forcing a decision.
It means allowing yourself to say:
This matters to me.
I want this.
This is changing.
I may not know what to do with it yet — but I am willing to stop pretending I cannot hear it.
✨ Bring:

MAVE Winter Solstice Immersion: The Longest Night
Sunday, December 20, 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM (UTC)
CLAIM • December
✨ What wants to be tended in the dark before it is asked to become visible?
On the eve of the Winter Solstice, we gather at one of the great turning points of the year.
The longest night is not an absence of light.
It is a threshold.
A place to pause.
To listen.
To honour what has been lived.
To notice what is quietly taking root beneath the surface.
This is not a day for rushing toward resolutions or forcing a vision for the year ahead.
It is a day for tending what is true.
In this half-day MAVE immersion, we’ll step out of ordinary time and spend a few spacious hours together in movement, ritual, reflection, rest and creative practice.
We’ll look back at what this season has revealed, listen for what wants to be protected and nourished, and make room for the desires that may still be too tender, strange or unfinished to explain.
🌿 December’s MAVE movement: CLAIM
You do not need to drag anything into the light before it is ready.
Some things need darkness in order to grow roots.
✨ Bring:
📓 Your journal
🕯️ A candle
🧣 Comfortable clothes and something warm
💧 Water or tea
🎨 A few simple creative materials you already have nearby
🔮 Join live:https://secretgardensociety.com/mave-live
We meet the dark not as an ending, but as a place where something new can begin.

MAVE Year-End Ritual: The Threshold Between Years
Wednesday, December 30, 6:11 PM – 7:30 PM (UTC)
CLAIM • December
✨ What deserves to cross the threshold with you?
There is a particular kind of quiet at the end of a year.
Not quite an ending.
Not yet a beginning.
A threshold.
This is not a ritual for resolutions, reinvention, or deciding who you need to become next.
It is a moment to notice what is complete, what is still alive, and what you are no longer willing to leave behind in yourself.
Together, we’ll move, reflect, release, and listen.
We’ll honour what 2026 has held, make space for what is finished, and turn toward the desires, truths, and ways of being that are asking to travel with you into the year ahead.
🌿 December’s MAVE movement: CLAIM
We’ll explore:
What am I ready to release?
What still feels alive?
What do I want to protect?
What am I ready to claim more fully?
What is one small brave step I am willing to carry into 2027?
✨ Bring:
📓 Your journal
🕯️ A candle
💧 Water or tea
🧣 Comfortable clothes to move in
🔥 Optional: a small piece of paper for a release ritual
🔮 Join live:https://secretgardensociety.com/mave-live
You do not need to become a new woman by midnight.
You only need to become more willing to carry forward what is already true.

13 JAN
FOLLOW • January
✨ What if the thing that makes the least sense is the thing worth following?
January moves us from desire into movement.
By now, you may have begun to hear yourself more clearly and name what you want.
Now comes the question:
Will you trust yourself enough to move before you have complete certainty?
In this MAVE Gathering, we’ll explore what it means to follow the strange idea, the unexpected nudge, the curiosity that does not yet have a business case, or the possibility that keeps returning even though you cannot explain where it leads.
Through movement, reflection, experimentation, and conversation, we’ll work with the MAVE practice of Tiny Brave Steps — small actions that create information.
Not a giant leap.Not a dramatic reinvention.Just enough movement to learn something real.
🌿 January’s MAVE movement: FOLLOW
This month is about discovering that clarity does not always come before action.
Sometimes clarity arrives because you moved.

MAVE Gathering: Whose Rules Are You Living By?
Wednesday, February 10, 6:11 PM – 7:30 PM (UTC)
✨ What if some of the rules shaping your life were never actually yours?
By February, we begin moving into the ROOTS terrain of MAVE.
Not to excavate everything that is wrong with you. But to get curious about the invisible maps you may still be following.
The rules about being good. Being responsible. Being independent. Being successful. Being useful. Being easy to love. Being the one who can handle everything.
Some of these rules may have protected you. Some may have helped you build a beautiful life. And some may no longer belong in the life you are creating now.
In this MAVE Gathering, we’ll begin working with Deep Roots — noticing the inherited expectations, family roles, loyalties, identities, and old definitions of success that may still be influencing what feels possible.
Through movement, reflection, witnessing, and inquiry, we’ll practice separating: What is actually true for me now? from What have I simply learned to believe is true?
🌿 February’s MAVE movement: QUESTION
This is not about rejecting where you come from. It is about becoming conscious enough to choose what you want to carry forward.
Bring:
You are allowed to question a rule without betraying the people who taught it to you. Some maps are inherited. You still get to decide where you go.

24 FEB
✨ What can you honour from where you come from without continuing to live by every rule you inherited?
Questioning old patterns can bring up a complicated feeling: If I choose differently, am I betraying someone?
A family. A culture. A role you were praised for. A version of yourself that helped you survive, belong, succeed, or be loved.
In this MAVE Gathering, we’ll go deeper into Deep Roots by exploring the difference between honouring where you come from and unconsciously repeating what no longer fits.
We’ll notice where loyalty may be shaping your choices — and where love, gratitude, or belonging have become tangled with obligation.
Through movement, reflection, witnessing, and inquiry, we’ll ask: What do I genuinely want to keep? What have I outgrown? What am I carrying because it is mine? What am I carrying because I learned I was supposed to?
🌿 February’s MAVE movement: QUESTION
The goal is not to uproot yourself. It is to become conscious enough to choose which roots nourish the life you are growing now.
Bring:
You can honour where you come from without asking your past to determine your future. Keep the root. Change the rule.

10 MAR
✨ What are you ready to stop leaving yourself for?
March brings us into CHOOSE.
By now, you may be seeing more clearly what is yours, what is inherited, what is complete, and where you have been bending away from yourself in order to preserve belonging, approval, stability, or an old identity.
This gathering is not about blowing up your life.
It is about noticing the places where self-abandonment has quietly become a habit.
Where do you override yourself? Where do you stay too long? Where do you say yes when your body says no? Where do you keep choosing what is familiar over what is true?
Through movement, reflection, witnessing, and the MAVE practice of HONOR / CLEAR / CLAIM, we’ll explore what it means to let an old role, pattern, or identity become complete without rejecting the woman you were when you needed it.
🌿 March’s MAVE movement: CHOOSE
Choosing yourself does not require contempt for the past. It asks for enough self-trust to stop abandoning what is true now.
Bring:
You are allowed to let something be complete. You can honour who you were without asking her to choose for you forever.

24 MAR
✨ What are you still carrying simply because you have not given yourself permission to call it complete?
Some things do not need to be fixed. They need to be finished.
A role. A responsibility. A version of yourself. A way of belonging. A promise you made in another season. A story about who you are supposed to be.
In this MAVE Gathering, we’ll explore completion as a creative act.
Not rejection. Not failure. Not erasure. Completion.
Through movement, reflection, witnessing, and ritual, we’ll notice what has already ended inwardly — even if your outer life has not fully caught up yet.
We’ll make room for grief where grief is present, gratitude where gratitude is true, and choice where choice is now possible.
🌿 March’s MAVE movement: CHOOSE
We’ll ask: What has run its course? What am I still carrying out of loyalty, fear, or habit? What deserves to be honoured before I release it? What becomes possible when I stop dragging the finished chapter forward?
Bring:
You do not have to hate what came before in order to stop carrying it. Some chapters deserve a blessing, not another rewrite.
