Heroine’s Journey Q & A 2025

ReClaim Program: The Heroine’s Journey

“Listen, are you breathing a little, and calling it a life?” – Mary Oliver

I have always resisted winter. The lack of light and cold temperatures throw me into a a funk.

This changed after embarking on the Heroine’s Journey.

For the last 2 winters, I worked with about 100 students as we did shadow work, meditations, mindful movement, dream analysis, yoga nidra, journaling, and new moon cacao ceremonies together. We faced aspects of ourself that we had ignored for too long, and RECLAIMED these exiled parts of ourself.

The result was a newfound appreciation for the dark days of winter that provided the perfect energetic container to go inward to face ourselves. Doing this is in community with others made the inner work less arduous and seemed to fortify me in a way I never expected. It also made me look forward to winter this year – which was also a surprise!

During the next 14 weeks (essentially the entire season of winter) we are capitalizing on the dark to go inward and down. I know this work is deep and powerful, and will bring transformation. Are you ready? If you feel slightly scared and resistant you are not alone!

All the most frequently asked questions are below.

RECLAIM details + Registration For Program
Who is this course for?

This experience is for anyone who feels ready for or is already in the midst of transformational change. This may look like a job change, relationship ending, empty nest, death of loved one, retirement, diagnosis, or identity shift. It is also for the person who fears change but knows they are stuck and is curious about getting unstuck.

Although this course will explore the “heroine’s journey” it is not just a journey for women. However you identify, you are welcome. No matter whether you identify as male, female, or trans, all humans who live in a patriarchal culture are carrying an inherent imbalance and could benefit from learning how to nurture the positive qualities vs the toxic qualities of the masculine and feminine energies.

When does the RECLAIM weekly lesson happen?

RELAIM takes place December 19, 2024-March 20, 2025. The live online class occurs each Thursday from 5:30-7PM. Each class will contain content, a meditation or inner practice, and time for questions/conversation.

I don’t have time to do the course right now but am interested in receiving the content.

Because all the classes are recorded and you will also receive links to the practices, you can essentially do the course at anytime. You have lifetime access to this material.

What is the cacao ceremony?

A big part of this course is discernment and intention setting for your life. New moons energetically are the ideal time to create intention so for every new moon during this 14 week course, we will meet for an hour online for a cacao ceremony and intention setting. Cacao is a plant medicine that opens the heart and provides a beautiful seeding ground for asking and receiving. We will provide the cacao for you and will send you the 3-month supply to your home, or if you are local arrange a pick-up at the studio. The dates of the new moons are: December 30, January 29, & February 27.

How do I work personally with Betsy?

Included in the price of this course is an individual zoom session with Betsy (30minutes). Sign-up times for this will be made available in the last month of the class for integration work. Betsy no longer takes new clients into her private practice, so this is a chance to do some individual work that is typically not otherwise available.

Is yoga included?

Yes, all of Betsy’s weekly online yoga classes (Tuesday & Saturday at 9AM CST) are included in the price. You will receive the links for these classes. If there is space to attend live with Betsy in the studio, you can attend on a first-come first-serve basis.
