What is the Focus Circle?
Focus Circle is where we show up — not perfectly, but consistently — to do the things we've been avoiding.
You already know what they are. The project you keep circling. The email you haven't sent. The work that matters most and somehow never makes it to the top of the list. We call these Death Cookies — a term from Phil Stutz’s book True and False Magic — the small, hard, often unglamorous actions we resist precisely because they ask something of us. Eat the Death Cookie and you get something back: life force. The energy that comes from doing what you'd rather not, and the strength it builds in your relationship to your body, to others, and to yourself.
Co-led by Corinne Bowen and Tammi Salas, Focus Circle gathers multiple times a week on Zoom for focused, accountable work. Each session begins with the Life Force Log — a short daily practice of naming what you're avoiding and choosing one action to take. Then we work, together, in quiet.
What makes this different from working alone is the presence of other women doing the same thing: choosing to prioritize what matters, taking action however small, and holding space for each other along the way.
Monthly membership is $33/month

"I got through some to-do list items that had been on my list for months. It was incredibly helpful to have "accountabili-buddies" (accountability buddies) to show up to and for on a regular basis. I'm looking forward to future Focus Circles!"
"It was so great to be in community with others who want to bring their creations to life."
"Focus Circle helped me square away time and focus on a creative task that can easily get neglected. It felt reassuring to be held accountable to others and share space, but also work on my own."
"While I can set time aside for myself, I rarely do. I found that a dedicated block of time spent with intention on my personal project was both encouraging and productive. I'm easily distracted by technology or the requests, needs of others, and find it difficult to focus. I am quite pleased with the tangible output as a result of this month spent in the focus circle."
"Making a commitment to focus circle allows me to set aside dedicated, distraction-free time to tackle tasks and projects important to me. I found myself in a flow state several times over the weeks. I enjoy the accountability that being in community provides."
