Group Mentoring Journey with Kaira Jewel
February-Dec, 2025
Join me in going deeper
In February, I'm starting an 11-month group mentoring journey.
We begin with an Opening Retreat on Sunday, Feb 9, from 1-3pm ET on Zoom.
We will then meet nearly every month for group mentoring (meeting twice in October) in a group of 15-20 people.
We meet on Mondays from 12pm to 1:15pm ET on these 12 dates:
Feb 24, March 31, April 28, May 19, June 23, No meeting in July, Aug 25, No meeting in Sept, Oct 6 AND Oct 27, Nov 24, Dec 8 AND 22, AND Jan 12. (Dates in bold are newly added).
Opening Retreat:
The purpose of the opening retreat is to deepen our practice through meditation, somatic, embodied practice, and inquiries with other participants, and also to have a space to ask questions and engage in discussion. This will support building the community that will carry us through our 11-month mentoring journey.
Priority will be given to those who can attend the opening retreat on Feb 9.
Details
The structure of the 75-minute monthly mentoring calls:
We will begin with a short meditation, followed by brief check ins. Then 2 people will each have a 15-minute sessions, a ‘focus session,’ in which they present a question or issue that they would like support on. Everyone else practices mindful listening during this time. During the course of the ten mentoring calls, each participant will have the chance to sign up for one 15 min focus session dedicated to you individually, where you can ask questions or request a specific guided practice, and share your discoveries or challenges, if you would like. After the 2 focus session, whatever time left is for questions, reflections, and discussion in the larger group that any one is welcome to bring or initiate.
Sliding Scale Cost: $400-$700 USD
Your contribution covers the opening retreat and all 10 sessions. The sliding scale allows those with less means to participate.
Space is limited so apply early.

Some reflections from past participants in the program:
"In times of personal crisis, I could really tap into the teachings and this community has been in my heart, this whole year."
"I gained lots of strength and solidity from this group in the midst of lots of difficulty."
"I have loved the pace of the group, it has helped me experience spiritual community for the first time. Thank you for bringing us together. It has been a joy. Each time, I was looking forward to it.""Above all I feel interconnectedness and a real sense of common humanity."
"I feel warmed in my heart, I feel like Thay (Thich Nhat Hanh) has been with us in this practice. You have brought his teachings to us in a way that resonates for me and feels supportive. Holding this community the way you have, each of us can be at a heartbreaking place for us to grow."
"This has been so incredible, it would be hard for me to imagine that each of the other participants' questions could resonate so much with me. You have extended Thay’s legacy in a way that I couldn’t have imagined. It resonates so deeply with me. I appreciate how you have been able to hold this space, how you have held my questions and others as well.""I’m so grateful for this space and how safe it is, how everyone has been able to share from their hearts. It allowed me to show up in a way, to be authentic and vulnerable. That I could show up on my messy days, however I was. There aren’t many spaces in my world where I can just be and feel the love and the care. And be held. The collective wisdom of our group has been extraordinary."
