September at Awakened Potential
A Season of Change, Transition & Letting Go
September always seems to arrive carrying a particular kind of energy.
The light begins to change. The days slowly shorten. Children return to school, college students leave home, schedules reorganize, and families begin finding their way into a new rhythm.
This year, I find myself moving through a season of transition alongside so many of you.
There are changes happening within my own family, within my work, and within Awakened Potential. And while change can ask us to release what has been familiar, it can also create space for something new to emerge.
This September feels very much like that kind of threshold.
A New Additional Space for Awakened Potential
I am very excited to share that I am expanding into a new additional location in Farmington, Connecticut at Bridge Healing Arts Center. I will now be in two locations Sandy Hook and Farmington.
This beautiful space will allow me to offer more of my work in person, including individual sessions, sound healing, future Kundalini classes, sacred gatherings, women's circles, workshops, and other experiential offerings that have been quietly taking shape.
I have been feeling for some time that Awakened Potential is becoming more than a collection of individual offerings.
It is becoming a space where psychological healing, embodiment, spirituality, ritual, community, and the wisdom of the feminine can meet.
I am allowing this next chapter to unfold slowly and intentionally, listening for what wants to be created rather than rushing to define it.
A New Home for My Therapy Practice
Alongside these changes, I have also created a new online home specifically for my psychotherapy practice.
As my work continues to evolve, it has felt important to create clearer spaces for the different ways I support women.
Awakened Potential will continue to hold my more experiential and spiritually oriented work: sound healing, Kundalini, sacred gatherings, women's circles, ritual, energy work, and soul-centered exploration.
My new therapy website is devoted specifically to my work as a psychotherapist, with a focus on depth-oriented therapy for women navigating anxiety, overwhelm, relationships, identity, midlife, and significant life transitions.
Although these two spaces have different purposes, they are rooted in the same understanding: that meaningful healing often involves more than simply managing symptoms. It can also involve becoming more deeply connected to ourselves, our bodies, our relationships, and the lives we are creating.
If you are curious about my therapy work, or know a woman who may be looking for support, I invite you to visit:
September Offerings
A Temporary Pause in Sandy Hook Kundalini Classes
As I transition into the new space and allow my schedule to settle, I will be taking a temporary pause from my weekly Kundalini classes in Sandy Hook.
I am deeply grateful to everyone who has practiced with me and helped create this beautiful little community.
This is not an ending.
It is a pause while I make room for what is changing, and I look forward to sharing more about future Kundalini offerings as they begin to take shape.
September Gathering
The Art of Letting Go
Autumn Equinox Somatic Release & Sound Bath
September 25 | 6:30–8:30 PM
Newtown Wellness Collective | Sandy Hook, CT
Autumn teaches us something the natural world seems to understand instinctively:
There is a time to hold on, and there is a time to release.
Around the Autumn Equinox, light and darkness briefly meet in balance before the season begins its gradual descent inward.
Together, we will use somatic movement, breath, sound, stillness, and intentional reflection to explore what we may be ready to soften, release, or simply stop carrying in the same way.
This evening is not about forcing ourselves to "let go."
It is about creating enough space in the body to notice what may already be ready to fall away.
An evening to exhale.
To listen.
To release.
And to make space for what comes next.
Therapy & Individual Healing
Alongside these community offerings, I continue to provide individual psychotherapy integrating traditional clinical approaches with mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and transpersonal perspectives.
I also continue offering:
• Reiki & Sound Healing
• Past Life Regression
• Integrative healing sessions
If you've been feeling called toward deeper healing, I'd be honored to support your journey.
Something New Is Taking Shape
Over the coming months, I am also preparing a new series devoted to women's emotional and spiritual lives.
I keep returning to a question that has become increasingly important in my own life and work:
How do we bring the sacred back into ordinary life?
Not spirituality as something separate from our relationships, bodies, work, motherhood, aging, grief, desire, anxiety, or changing identities.
But spirituality as something woven through all of it.
I want to explore the places where women's mental health, embodied healing, feminine wisdom, and ritual naturally meet.
We will explore life transitions, the nervous system, identity, relationships, embodiment, seasonal living, and the ways simple ceremony can help us acknowledge passages that modern life often asks us to move through without ever stopping to honor them.
There may be circles.
There may be rituals.
There may be conversations, practices, sound, movement, and gatherings.
I don't want to define it too quickly.
For now, I am simply following the thread.
Perhaps that, too, is part of September's teaching:
We don't always need to know exactly what comes next. Sometimes we simply need to create enough space for it to arrive.
With Love
As we enter this new season, I hope you can find a few moments to notice what is shifting in your own life.
What are you carrying?
What is changing?
What might be asking to be released?
And what quiet part of you might finally have enough space to be heard?
Thank you for continuing to be part of the Awakened Potential community and for allowing this work to evolve alongside all of us.
With love,
Victoria
