Anxiety is a sign that the world around you is changing faster than any of us can keep up with. We're going to learn what to do with anxiety this August. I'll share practices for connecting to nature, to your ancestors, and to the divine. That connection is your protection and your resource.

Free Event: How Women Heal

May 24, 2026

How Women Heal is a transformational class for women who are ready to understand all the parts inside themselves more deeply. In this class, we will explore Jungian feminine archetypes as the path to our divinity, including the sage, the geisha, and the amazon. Together, female archetypes offer a map for understanding where you may feel blocked, where you may be giving too much, where you may be hiding your power, and where your next stage of healing is calling you. What You’ll Learn You will learn how to recognize the different parts of yourself that are asking for attention, healing, and integration. Through the five archetypes, you will explore how women carry pain, wisdom, longing, strength, intuition, and love in the body and heart.

Finding Your Divinity: Daylong Retreat with Elizabeth Pyjov in NYC

May 17, 2026

May 17, 2026

Inspired by the book launch the day before, let’s gather in New York City in the same neighborhood on Sunday to explore how to find the divinity within ourselves. This gathering will be an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper parts of who we are. During our time together, we will talk about practical ways to recognize and connect with your own divinity through concrete steps you can apply in everyday life. We will also explore what it means to feel your eternity and how that awareness can shape the way you move through the world. Another important part of the discussion will focus on staying connected to your divinity as you grow older. We will look at how to practice self-compassion as you change, grow, and age, and how honoring those changes can deepen your spiritual connection rather than weaken it. Along the way, we will also explore the three phases of being present to your divinity. My goal for you is simple. When it feels like the whole world is going crazy, you can remain calm because you know you are eternal and you know how to connect to the divine within you. I want to give you tools that help you access that connection so that every day can feel like a moment of joy.
