Virtual Gatherings are designed to bridge the distance - between retreats, across cities, and for women at different points in their journey with Compassion Collective.
Each 90-minute gathering blends guided mindfulness, reflective practice, and meaningful dialogue. For those who've already experienced the depth of our retreats, these gatherings offer consistent connection and support no matter where you are in the world.
And for those just discovering us, these sessions are a chance to get to know Esther, explore our core frameworks, and see if this community feels like home.
2026 Virtual Gathering Schedule
January 22, 2026 | Aligned Ambition: Setting Intentions That Honor Your Whole Self
Learn to set goals and intentions that honor both your drive and your humanity. Explore what it means to commit to a vision without attachment to outcome or process—ambition rooted in alignment, not exhaustion.
February 12, 2026 | Self-Devotion: Learning to Romance Your Life Devotion isn't just about commitment—it's about courting yourself with the same care you'd offer someone you're falling in love with. This session explores how to romance your own life by creating a "romance menu" (think dopamine menu, but make it tender). We'll identify practices, moments, and rituals that help you fall back in love with your daily existence.
March 12, 2026 | Redefining Mothering: Nurturing Ourselves & Healing Mother Wounds Mothering isn't just about raising children. It's about how we nurture ourselves, heal generational patterns, and practice the tender care we may not have received. This conversation explores what it means to mother ourselves well.
May 14, 2026 | Weaving the Web That Holds All Our Parts: Exploring the 7 Divine Feminine Archetypes You contain multitudes—the nurturer, the warrior, the visionary, the lover. This session introduces the 7 feminine archetypes as a framework for understanding which parts of yourself you lead with, which you've rejected, and how to integrate them all.
July 9, 2026 | Self-Compassion as Salve: Creating & Revisiting Your Practices Self-compassion isn't a one-time lesson. It's a daily recommitment. We'll explore how to build sustainable practices that meet you where you are—and how to hold yourself gently when consistency feels impossible.
August 13, 2026 | Beyond Burnout: When 'Laziness' Is Actually Self-Preservation What we call laziness is often empathic distress or compassion fatigue. This session explores how productivity culture harms us, why rest is resistance, and how self-compassion (not more discipline) is the real antidote to burnout.
September 10, 2026 | Pace, Pause, Pivot: Taking Control of the Flow of Your Life Life moves fast, but you get to set the rhythm. This conversation explores how to slow down without falling behind, when to pivot with intention, and how to honor your need for rest while still pursuing your goals.
November 12, 2026 | Love After Heartbreak: Finding the Courage to Desire Again Grief and loss change us. This session explores how to hold heartbreak with compassion while staying open to love—whether romantic, platonic, or self-directed. How do we grieve what's gone and still believe something beautiful is possible?
