Powerful discussion around the importance of intimacy and holding, not just about segs, but about a deeper intimacy society is needing more of.

Our free Virtual Geography of Grief Gathering is happening this Monday, October 13, from 12:30–1:30 PM EST. This is an invitation to gather, not to figure things out, but to practice being in relationship with what is emerging. To notice sensations, thoughts, and emotions as they emerge. To be with grief inside community and be with it, allowing it to be witnessed. To notice what is taken for granted, to question what has been taught to trust, and to feel into what sits okay, and what doesn’t. Our shared presence itself is a regulatory, relational practice.

I continue to think much lately about the geography of grief. Of hope. Of wanting. Of being. Of aching. And loving. There's so much unraveling. So much grief and injustice. So much to witness and metabolize. And the overwhelm of not knowing how to be with any of it, and still needing to keep going.....

On September 26, a group of us gathered for the first session of The Relationally Rooted Series: Turning Toward. It was a powerful, emergent space of collective learning. While I can’t capture the depth of what we experienced, I can share the arc that guided our exploration of how we relate to discomfort in body, mind, and nervous system.

We began by noticing how discomfort shows up, what it feels like in our bodies, what we do or say in response, how it sounds when we listen, and what it wants us to know once it feels heard. As we got to know discomfort more intimately, compassion grew. From there, we practiced noticing, turning toward, inquiring what discomfort wants us to know, and meeting it well. Then we turned back again to sense how discomfort feels toward us. This kind of layered embodied work is best integrated experientially.

On Friday, October 24 (4:30 to 8:00 PM), we gather again for Boundaries and Edges in The Living Room at Full Circle in Gardiner, NY. We will explore how to expand our capacity to be with what is and how to relate to the wisdom of our boundaries. We will continue practicing being in relationship with discomfort as a scaffold for transformation, letting discomfort become our teacher.

We will gather once more on Friday, November 21, for Rupture and Repair. You are invited to join one or both of the remaining sessions.

And on Monday, October 13 (12:30 to 1:30 PM EST), our free **Virtual Geography of Grief Gathering** offers space to be with what is emerging, to feel, notice, and witness grief in community. Our shared presence itself becomes a regulatory relational practice.

Jane, may your compassion continue to inspire us all.

I love etymology. Deshogar is today’s word!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month — it's a topic rarely discussed within the Latinx community.

Hello Sweet Humans,

It’s me again. I’ve been writing more often than usual. Partly because I’m inspired to share this offering, and partly because the world feels heavy to witness alone. Naming the weight we each carry in some way feels coherent. Uncertainty, fear, disconnection, discomfort, grief…they ripple through us all. It’s part of the human condition. If things feel hard, remember, there’s nothing wrong with you.

Humaning is hard. Being inside the overwhelm and the stuck is hard. And in turning toward what feels hard together, we begin to rehumanize what feels worn down: our ability to choose, connection, joy, vitality. There are ways of relating to what feels hard that can offer support, clarity, and orientation inside the hard. We can practice reclaiming that space in-between, between stimulus and response.

This Friday, September 26th, from 4:30-8p at The Living Room at Full Circle in Gardiner NY, we will gather for the first session of our Relationally Rooted workshop series. There is space for you to join us . Whether you drop in for one session or move through the full series.

Our first session is all about Turning Towards what is hard without abandoning yourself. We’ll play with presence and craft practices to carry you long beyond our time together.

If you want to plan ahead, here’s the rest of the series:
Boundaries and Edges on Friday October 24
Rupture and Repair on Friday November 21

PS: I am still collecting names of those interested in a future virtual series. Email me if you’d like me to keep you in the loop.

A practice-based workshop series to support your nervous system, boundaries, and relational healing through experiential, somatic, and embodied learning.

THE RELATIONALLY ROOTED SERIES
Session 1: Turning Toward

Practices for presence, inner connection, and staying with what matters without abandoning yourself inside hard moments.
We begin with presence.

This session invites you to reconnect with your Self in a way that feels steady and true. When things become murky, overwhelming, or unclear, it’s easy to lose contact with yourself. Here, we practice returning.

Through experiential, brain-informed somatic practices, you’ll build micro practices that support staying with your internal experience, holding complexity, and remaining open without abandoning yourself.

These practices help you stay connected in the moments that matter most.

Session 1: Turning Toward
DATE: Friday 9.26.25
TIME: 4:30-8p
WHERE: The Living Room at Full Circle, Gardiner, NY

COLLEAGUES!

Don't miss this Demo Day with Jules Taylor Shore
Friday November 7th, 2025
10:00am-12:30pm Central Time, Online

Therapeutic work is typically confined to the privacy of the office. Thanks to the generosity and bravery of its volunteers, Demo Days are a way for Jules to open the door to her office in order to offer a lived learning experience to therapists and coaches wanting to learn from live session work.

As an observer, you will have the chance to experience the STAIR Method framework in action, and watch as Jules creates a therapeutic space which guides a volunteer toward more easily accessing their innate capacities for healing and growth- shifting their perception of “ok-ness” from less okay to more okay. Within the STAIR Method framework, this means watching a clinician move into a power-with presence and utilizing neurobiologically informed interventions & timing throughout the therapeutic work.

Each Demo Day consists of an overview of Jules' STAIR Method followed by live, real work with a volunteer, and Q&A/Reflection sessions following each section of work.

What if grief isn’t just something to move through, but a powerful doorway into healing?

In this episode of Going Inside, I talk with host John Clarke about the radical act of turning toward discomfort, the unexpected wisdom of our nervous systems, and how real healing often begins when we stop trying to fix.

The Relationally Rooted Series begins in about two weeks. This in-person, 3-part, trauma-informed series explores how early relational patterns live in our bodies and shape our relationships. Together we'll practice turning toward what's hard. Slowing down, noticing what arises in our nervous systems, and meeting it with curiosity rather than bypassing of fixing.

Each session offers micro-practices to reconnect with self and other, cultivating presence, clarity, and relational integrity. We'll work with how grief, rupture and aloneness show up in our systems. And how witnessing, repair, and belonging can restore integration. As part of our time, we’ll also share a meal together, an intentional tending practice that nourishes both body and community.

Format: In-person, 3-session workshop series (participants are welcome to join for a single session or for the entire full series)
When: Fridays 4:30-8:00pm
Where: The Living Room at Full Circle, Gardiner, New York

Session 1 | Turning Toward | 9.26.25
We begin with presence. This session invites participants to return to themselves when things feel murky or overwhelming, and to practice staying connected in the moments that matter most.

Session 2 | Boundaries and Edges | 10.24.25
This session reframes boundaries as internal acts of self care that help us stay grounded and congruent, even in challenging relational moments. Through guided somatic work, participants explore edges, limits, and clarity from the inside out.

Session 3 | Rupture and Repair | 11.21.25
Ruptures are inevitable, and necessary , in close relationships. This session explores how to meet disconnection, shame, or defensiveness with compassion and responsiveness, cultivating practices of repair that deepen trust in self and others.

My approach is somatic, relational, and experiential. Rooted in neurobiology and designed with diverse nervous system needs in mind, honoring systemic impacts on our capacity for connection.

Equitable fee scale & $25 off full-series available during registration.
