You were never meant to do this alone.

Someone asked me after Monday’s Soul Tilling class:

“I have a hard time doing this work on my own. What do you suggest?”

Here’s the practical answer first: there are more ways to do this work than you might think — and most of them don’t actually require you to go it alone.

If you’re looking for a starting point, I have over 150 free somatic mindfulness practices on my podcast, most of them ten minutes or under. They’re there whenever you need them. I wouldn’t underestimate what a recorded voice offers. When you press play on these practices, you’re connecting to my energy, my intention, the care I poured into those words.

You can also do this work with a friend. A trusted person who is willing to go to the difficult places alongside you is one of the most powerful containers there is.

And of course — you can do this work with me.

But before we get there, I want to say something about the difficulty itself.

The idea that we should be able to do inner work entirely on our own — that needing support is weakness or indulgence — I believe is worth examining. Because it isn’t true. And more than that, it’s a deeply masculine model of healing that many of us have absorbed without realizing it.

We are relational beings. The nervous system regulates in connection, in the presence of other human beings who are willing to go to the difficult places alongside us. As Eugene Gendlin, the founder of Focusing, wrote: what matters is not being smart, or good, or mature, or wise — what matters is to be a human being, with another human being. That’s what we’re creating in Soul Tilling. Not a class of experts. A room of human beings, showing up together.

This is especially true for women. The feminine path is not a solo path. Leaning on others is the nature of how we’re wired, how we heal, how we grow.

Think about where we already turn to others naturally and without shame. We pay for gym memberships because a class keeps us accountable. We hire help to clean our homes. We use what’s known as “body doubling” — simply having another person present while we work — because our nervous systems function better in company. We do this everywhere in our lives without apology.

And yet when it comes to our inner world — to the tender, archaeological work of actually feeling what’s in there — suddenly we expect ourselves to go it alone.

Why?

This is exactly why Soul Tilling exists.

But it’s not only about having others in the room. It’s also about having someone take the guesswork out of it for you.

Because I know — from my own practice — that sometimes the hardest part isn’t the work itself. It’s the choosing. Which imagery do I listen to today? Which prompt do I write from? Which practice do I do first? That decision fatigue is often exactly what the protection uses to keep us from starting at all.

In Soul Tilling, I do that choosing for you. Each week brings a specific theme, a specific imagery, specific journaling prompts, specific somatic and movement practices — each one carefully chosen to work together as a complete arc. You show up. The container holds the rest.

And it happens on a specific day, at a specific time, every week. Which means it’s not just structure — it’s accountability. A commitment you’ve made, a room that’s expecting you, a group of other shaky human beings who are showing up alongside you.

Because embodiment isn’t a drawer you clean out once and tick off your list. It’s a daily practice. A constant returning. And the goal — my goal, for myself and for the women I work with — is to build that practice not as another obligation, but as the very thing that clears the way. That creates the vessel. That allows what Hashem wants to pour into your life — in the areas you know you need, and the areas you don’t even know yet are waiting — to actually find its way in.

Embodiment is the feminine path to Menuchas Hanefesh. You don’t have to walk it alone.
