You know there's more.
You just can't quite get to it.

"I'm always overthinking everything."

"My body feels so tense."

"I don't feel like I ever have any time for myself."

"I don't trust my own intuition."

"I know there's something else I'm here for — but I don't know what it is, or I can't seem to get to it."

"I'm afraid to change my life."
"I'm smart, why can't I figure this out?"

If any of that sounds familiar — you're not crazy, and you're not behind. You're a sensitive soul trying to figure out how to be in a highly stimulating world. You process more information with your nervous system, feel more intensely - it's uncomfortable. You are living mostly in your head and your body is trying to talk to you. Your mind has been working overtime to keep you safe. There's a quieter place underneath all that churn. And on Summer Solstice, we're going to find it together.

Most people are doing it backwards.

The Hard Way

Pushing the cart uphill

  • Trying to "figure out" and "overthink" to get answers
  • Chasing more techniques, more classes, more certifications
  • Seeking answers outside of self, getting lost in techniques and phenomena, not realizing they "point" the way, they are not "the way".
  • Forcing it to happen by sheer will
  • Believing your mind is the problem — and fighting it
  • Getting tired, burdened, and still feeling stuck
The Quiet Way

Letting your spirit do the work

  • Getting still enough to actually hear your true self
  • Befriending your mind instead of judging it
  • Releasing the fear underneath the churning
  • Letting answers rise from your heart and body
  • Clearing the ancestral and emotional weight you've been carrying
  • Trusting that your gifts will show up as the blocks fall away. You can always tune them with classes but allowing them to surface as you heal means you are more prepared for them when they arrive.

You don't learn your gifts by seeking them. You uncover them by releasing what's in the way.

Why this day

The longest day of light is no accident.

The ancients knew Solstice as a turning point. The sun at its peak. The longest light. A day to honor what's been hidden and welcome what's ready to come forward.

We'll meet on June 21 to honor that turning point together, to shine light on long-held dark fears and step into your own light.

This is the first doorway. A real beginning. A felt, experiential taste of the peace that's been waiting for you all along.

Inside the 120 minutes

What we'll actually do together

Not a class. Not a lecture. A live medicine circle.

  1. Recognize with compassion how your mind is set up to run on fear, working overtime to keep you safe.
  2. Why some fears are felt through uncomfortable body sensations like panic attacks — and not "figured out" by your mind.
  3. How some of these fears are lodged in your deep subconscious or come from your ancestors.
  4. Three core fears: not safe, rejection/abandonment, survival — and how they may all boil down to survival.
  5. An invitation to befriend your mind instead of judging it.
  6. A live, body centered, healing to release core fear running underneath your agitated mind.
  7. Stop overthinking and experience the peace where your real answers live. Watch your creativity respond to freedom!
Marilyn Edwards
About Marilyn

A modern day medicine woman.

Marilyn Edwards has spent over thirty years sharing what she has learned on her journey and assisting lightworkers to come home to themselves. She went from artist to eleven years captaining shrimp boats through Gulf storms, and then began a long, deep inner journey through ancestral grief, emotional release, trauma healing and the dark night that cracked her open to the work she does now.

She combines a natural healing gift with body-centered therapies, neuroscience, and the wisdom of the natural world. Her clients are often people who have tried everything and have chronic, treatment-resistant pain — physical, mental, emotional, spiritual — and what she's found is this is often their wake up call. Their soul calling them to be more compassionate with themselves and others, trust  themselves, find deep gifts and bring them forth authentically into the world. 

"You don't learn your gifts by seeking them. You uncover them by clearing what's in the way."

She found on her journey that even healing techniques, and spiritual teachings, which at first help, can later become a trap. You can become stuck in "search" mode, another product of the over active mind. The real medicine is an inner journey — a deepening into the heart, the body, and the love that has no opposite.

Words from those she's walked with

Real stories. Real shifts.

Marilyn has been a profound source of support for me, helping me navigate layered aspects of my life, from the physical to the metaphysical. She offers an incredible range of experience, knowledge and wisdom which is a rare find. Her intuitive healing sessions have been instrumental in processing grief, navigating shifts in my work and purpose, and connecting with my true self — particularly during midlife, when so much begins to change. Her work has truly been a lifeline in these transformative times.

I am a holistic health care physician but when I don't feel well — Marilyn is my GO TO person! She is so caring, knowledgeable, highly intuitive and I couldn't recommend her more! Cute, loving, my little nerdy brainiac!

Dr. Gordana Smith, DOM
Holistic Physician · Florida

Marilyn is a gifted healer, highly intuitive and very much tapped into a higher power. We have worked together on a variety of issues, everything from blocked creativity and processing grief to body work for an injured shoulder and arm. I come away from any session feeling lighter, more in tune with my higher self, in less pain — always better, much, much better. Work with Marilyn and prepare to be amazed and transformed.

Working with Marilyn over the past year and a half has helped me progress exponentially vs. the 25+ years of psychotherapy I have been in. She has such intuitive insight and ability to target root issues and help heal those issues in such a way that it blows my mind. I highly recommend working with Marilyn if you are truly wanting to move into a space of real healing.
