Are You Highly Sensitive

02/04/2026

The intimate, deep, loving circle I call Wise Women & Wonder does hold wonder for me. I made up this idea a number of years ago and many of you have joined the journey.
​
We are at it again this weekend, the FIRST SATURDAY (February 7th) at 10AM Pacific and 1 PM Eastern. You can learn more and register here. Or email me to save your place and send over a VenMo (to avoid the Eventbrite fees). You must reserve your spot one of these ways because sometimes we are sold out.
​
Some of the women who come have been showing up for many months or even years, and each month we have a brand new member join us. The thing is, there are only so many seats in our circle so we can remain in conversation and spacious for all who come.

What do you talk about? Great question... We talk about what the women bring up, and then the discussion deepens and shifts and we flow with that.
​
​Is it a therapy group? Complicated question... No, but as a therapist with over 3 decades of mental health service, I have to admit it isn't all that different. I facilitate the group and carefully protect each person's safety which might mean going deeper or staying out of triggering territory. It is unique every time and for every woman.
​
​How long is each meeting? That is always the question for me... We aim for 75 minutes and often go 90, especially if we have a larger group. I also suggest you create some transition time for integration after (either right after, or later that day.)
​
Am I particularly wise? Not at all. Most of you are far wiser. I am a couple of important things, though. I am very compassionate and caring. AND, I am skilled at holding space and facilitating inquiry.

Are you longing for community that REALLY GETS YOU? The Wise Women circle is definitely that.
​

This Saturday is our monthly online circle or group for highly sensitive women over 55. We share our stories and our wisdom, led by Alane Freund.

It’s time for an afternoon treat and then sunset mocktails.

You might miss the sunset because you are too busy enjoying the community.

But take off your shoes (or put on your swimsuit) and enjoy the soothing infinity pool as the sun goes down.

You know you are home. You are finally sinking into the retreat of your dreams.

You leave the world behind for six days where you are treated as the sacred sage you were born to be.

I’ll be there supporting you, loving you, joining you…
And together we will rise.

Come join me in the jungle for a retreat created for HSPs who are ready to cleanse, clarify, and create.

Don't worry... if you missed Day one of Noise, Heart & Vision, you are welcome! Yesterday toward the end, I was speaking about dominant cultural imperatives that don't work for highly sensitive people. Register here: https://alane-freund.mykajabi.com/ask-alane-anything-noise-heart-and-vision

The true home of highly sensitive people is the heart. When we live in our hearts, we live our best lives. Join live today at 11am PST, 2pm EST.

Today! Noise, Heart & Vision

I will be teaching and holding open conversation about a newly developed language I have been working with, language that speaks to how we as highly sensitive people can balance our lives in a world that increasingly feels overwhelmingly loud. (No one turned away for lack of funds.) Learn more and register:

From January 13 to 15, live at 11:00 AM Pacific, you will hear from other highly sensitive people, share what is true for you, and receive on the spot coaching and real time conversation. Bring your questions. Bring your lived experience.

Together, we will explore balance. Together, we will practice acceptance. Together, we will take meaningful action.

Will you be there?

Is a more balanced life part of your vision? Do you sense that some gentle adjustments might support the life you are creating?

You are doing beautifully out there. Even the most successful among us can become overwhelmed by the noise. It is the world we live in. But when we balance noise with heart and vision, something powerful becomes possible.

It is from this balance that we practice emotional leadership, the kind of leadership this noisy and tender world needs now.

The expectations we have about travelling dance between optimism and worry.

We’ll talk about living in the NOISE... travel, family, work, illness, unmet expectations, THE WORLD...

We’ll also talk about living in our HEARTS... deeply feeling, deeply processing, deeply noticing truth, gratitude, spirituality, connection, love, compassion.

Finally, we will look at living with VISION. knowing what we would love. Planning and designing a life that honors our sensitive hearts and minds.

Am I disappointed about this trip? Yes and No. I wanted to come and show my young son a great time, give him a break from the challenge of living and working a new country.

And yet, as a spiritual person, I uphold my contract ( with myself, with the universe, with a divine? ) to embrace and accept where my feet are today... to make choices that allow me to thrive.

How are you doing in this regard? Could you use a little boost? A community of support? Friends who honor your path?

A resolution by any other name is still a resolution. HSPs make them all year long because we always think about what could be better.

Moving into the darkness can feel so depressing, but remember that we have to move through the dark in order to return to the light.

Winter Darkness. What does that mean to you? And how do we take care of ourselves the best way that we possibly can? How do we find comfort? Join our conversation to deepen your commitment that you will take care of yourself in this way: Dark Party for Winter Solstice

All are welcome 🙏
(Online 4pm US Eastern)
