Stories From The Nest
RUTH KRUG, LCSW, RYT
“Through this program, I have integrated my roles as a therapist, social worker, and yoga teacher. Carrie’s offerings gave me the confidence and skills to lead groups and circles. I now incorporate circle work into my practice, balancing holistic healing and clinical approaches. Her mentorship empowered me to facilitate circles for women, allowing me to honor the practice while expressing my authentic voice.”
MAGGIE ROBBINS, LPC
“I’ve facilitated groups for 20 years and immediately felt the healing power of connection. Despite my experience, I lacked formal training and sensed there was more potential. Training with Carrie transformed my approach, boosting my confidence and effectiveness.
A profound spiritual experience further changed my work. Encountering the Circle deepened both my personal and professional life, bridging my clinical and spiritual practices. Integrating Circle energy into my group work, with Carrie’s support, has allowed me to fully embrace my true path, enriching both my life and my clients’ experiences.”
SHANNON WALISER, MSW, MPA, LICSW
“In the fall of 2022 I attended my first Circle Facilitators’ Retreat. It was magical. I immediately knew that this is what I had been looking for and have been mentoring with Carrie.
Leading Circles is like coming home to myself. Circles allow me to embrace my feminine energy, trust myself and the women in the room, improvise based on the moment’s needs, and transform how I work and what I offer to my community. I am excited to host Circles and guide other women in embracing our embodied nature and feminine qualities, forming Circles of love and kindness that will ripple out into our community, slowly changing it for the better.”
