LUMINARY
A Fellowship of Wise Women
Committed to Creating
Uncompromised Lives
Unbridled Authentic Expression
& Birthing Our Soul’s Work
with Courage + Conviction
A journey for the ones willing to do the Deep Work.
You’ve worked hard to build a beautiful, successful life, but something feels different now. You’re standing at a crossroads, yearning for something new. In the quiet moments, a whisper grows louder: “There’s more.” More depth. More meaning. More aliveness. More joy. More love waiting to be expressed through your life and your work.
Maybe you’ve been feeling dull, stuck, stagnant, and unsure - wrestling with the big questions such as, ‘what’s next?” and ‘what do I really, really, really want?’ Or maybe you know what you want, but you know you must overcome yourself to actually create it.
This is your moment to release what’s holding you back and step boldly into the best version of yourself. In Chinese lunar astrology, 2025 is the year of the snake. Of transformation. Shedding skins and letting go of anything that’s been weighing you down. A year of new beginnings. This year is all about finding deeper meaning in your life.
This is your moment to grow, heal and live your true purpose with unbridled authenticity, to create the quality of life you deserve.
This will also be a chaotic and challenging year collectively. It’s of the utmost importance to become resilient- mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, relationally and financially. Community is more important than ever. And it’s not enough to be physically strong, you must cultivate your spiritual fortitude to be steady in the storms ahead.
LUMINARY is for women like you:
Accomplished leaders who sense a deeper calling emerging. This intimate, 9-month fellowship will guide you as you craft a new life vision, birth the next evolution of your soul’s work, release outdated identities that have you suffer unnecessarily, and step into your role as a Luminary—leaving your unique mark on the world. Along the way, we’ll cultivate a rich inner world where joy, vitality, and peace are your foundation, and where nourishing, meaningful relationships bring you both fulfillment and aliveness. Being a Luminary is as much about how you show up and contribute as it is about who you become—living with purpose, presence, and deep, embodied connection.
This is more than a new chapter, it’s a turning point.
In a space of deep presence, nourishment, and the wisdom of women’s council, we steadily unearth and birth our sacred work. We devote our energy toward legacy-level, deeply aligned action—creating work that feels as much a calling as it does a contribution to the more beautiful world we’re praying for.
New Big Bold Vision
& Cultivating Wise Aspiration
This is an invitation to rediscover who you are in this next chapter of life and to bring forth the work you are meant to do.
There’s no greater pain than an unlived life. When clarity is missing, or self-doubt creeps in, we stagnate. Entropy is exhausting. Sometimes we can’t take the first step because we’ve lost touch with our true desires, other times because we’re distracted by busyness, leaving us disconnected, disapointed, and unsure of how to move forward.
A compelling vision has the power to reignite your passion, inspire bold action, and guide you through uncertainty. With clarity, you’ll move forward with confidence; without it, life feels dull and disconnected.
Together, we’ll answer “what’s next?”.
You’ll craft a gorgeous vision, from the depths of your soul, that enlivens you and brings out the best in you. It will also require you to grow, and you’ll have me as your coach to help you meet the edges in your leadership and relationships that will naturally reveal themselves as you put yourself out into the world in a new way.
The Calling to be a Luminary
Your life’s journey has gifted you insights the world needs. Now is the time to share them. As a Luminary, you’ll transform your hard-won wisdom into purposeful expression—through writing, speaking, or new endeavors. You’ll clarify your message, trust your voice, and share your wisdom in ways that make a difference.
This is where your struggles become your medicine, your voice becomes your legacy, and you step boldly into the woman you’re meant to be—strengthened, yet not defined, by all the women you’ve been up until now. No more hiding. Time to transform your fear of being seen. It’s time to be heard.
Sometimes, we really need accountability, support, and inspiration to do the thing we know will make us whole. That’s why this program includes guest speakers who’ve mastered sharing their wisdom as thought leaders and my expertise in helping you discern your message, choose your medium, open your creative channel, and cultivate the discipline to bring your ideas to life. I’ll be your Creative Doula, guiding you to bring through your body of work and share it.
By the end, you’ll be sharing your wisdom authentically and powerfully, building a community that values your voice and has you feel seen and heard. This process will ignite your creative expression, deepen your self-connection, and make you wiser. Even if you don’t aspire to public thought leadership with an audience and platform, you’ll evolve how you think, clarify your beliefs, and become an embodied Luminary for your communities.
Our Guiding Pillars
-
We must change the way we see and think about ourselves, to steward the fullness of our vision to life. Transcending ideas of our smallness, and learning to lead with authority.
Being the author of your life.
-
We will sit with deep, meaningful questions and explore them through writing, somatic therapy, expressive arts therapy, in council dialogue, channeling, and contemplative practice.
This is a key to our journey, because I am not here to give you answers. I’m here as your guide, creating an environment, in which you open a dialogue with your soul and spirit, with the earth, with Creative Intelligence, to access your own truth.
If you are faithful to living a question, that question will be faithful back to you. Each of us is shaped as much by the quality of the questions we are asking, as by the answers they have to give. Precisely at a moment like this, of vast aching, our questions themselves become powerful tools for living and growing.
In Luminary, we are animated by generative questions, such as:What is the purpose of my life?
How do I want to live?
What is the emerging legacy work I am here to offer?
How can I transform the patterns in myself and my lineage that are ready to be healed now?
How can I cultivate the nourishing, meaningful relationships I desire?
How can I structure my life and work to honor the needs of my body, family, and community?
-
Cultivate the most beautiful, loving relationship with yourself. Where you listen to yourself. Honor yourself. Know what you need. Trust yourself, Ask for what you need and want. Learn to love yourself unconditionally!
This truly changes everything.
-
Joy is the ultimate goal. As women, our ultimate aim is to come fully ALIVE. There is so much more possible in and through our lives. It’s time we say yes and discover the ripeness of being a Woman.
I will facilitate and train you in feminine embodiment ritual arts.
-
Cultivate a clear mind that can receive divine inspiration and guidance. Become aware of your habitual patterns, negative thoughts/emotions, and have greater choice so that you’re free rather than a victim.
You will receive ancient rituals for practicing high magic- to bless you and your family.
As well as curated monthly spiritual practice and potent meditation practice.
-
When we approach our lives and our work as paths of devotion, the conventional ways of doing life—disconnected, extractive, exhaustive, selfish, and urgent—simply do not align with us.
We move with intention and in intimate co-creation with Life. Allowing our questions to lead us to life-affirming choices and revelation.Although we soften into feminine ways of living, discipline is still key to success. Be the disciple to your own vision. You will cultivate discipline in the ways that matter for your life.
Especially over your own thoughts and emotional state.
-
Learn to cultivate meaningful, supportive, loving, community and partnership.
The quality of our life really is dependent on the quality of our relationships. This will be a big focus of our work.
-
Get clear on your priorities, let go of outdated identities, let the old way die, and play the Ultimate Game. The calling is to awaken.
-
Reinvent yourself and your life with creativity.
-
Actively practice mastery of your creative powers. Take back your mind.
-
Explorations in purpose, meaning, fulfillment, vocation, and what you really want out of life.
-
Cultivating trust, intimacy and a rich relational field. Healing the ideas that keep us alone and disconnected.
-
Turning what you know into what you do. Exploring philosophy, mysticism and principles from wisdom traditions through an applied, practical lens.
My coaching offers a transformative approach to living.
Through this unique process, you’ll discover a deeper love and understanding of yourself, heal your past, and master your mind. You will cultivate personal integrity and bring your heart, mind, and actions into harmony with your deepest aspirations.
By gaining a renewed perspective on yourself and the world you live in, you'll experience life with greater joy, power, flow and authenticity.
"Charlene is better than a therapist, more than a coach or spiritual teacher. She was my safe place in a hard world, a true angel that blessed my life. I will forever be a better human because of her. I am the wife and mother I am today because of our work together. I have redefined success including how I lead in my new company, and I'm really proud of the wise leader I am now. I came to her after exiting my company, excited but empty, exhausted, and knowing I needed to make a big change in this chapter of life because I couldn't keep going on like I had been. This is lineage healing, legacy building work."
Janie | Founder
"I was in an unhappy marriage but afraid to leave. Not trusting myself, questioning my inner knowing. My creativity was stunted. I was honestly depressed. She helped pull me out of stagnation and it's wild how much my life has evolved now 18 months later. I left that dead marriage. I'm dating, feeling so alive and sexier than ever in my 50's. I had a great year financially in my business and am finally bringing forward a body of work thats been stirring in my soul, but brought up all my fears to share. She helped me lean in with kindness, not force myself, but forge a path forward with authenticity. I'm happier, healthier, more free and definitely more alive than I've ever been after working with Charlene."
Monet | Consultant
I was really suffering from lack of vision. I was restless. I felt stuck. Working with Charlene connected me to my intuition, my creativity, and also my courage to remake myself and my life. My life was really good, until it felt like it didn’t fit anymore. I was comfortable so change was hard on my own, but I knew deep down I was actually really uncomfortable because I wasn’t living the right life. This was the soul medicine I needed to make big changes with grace and I feel embodied in my true nature for the first time in my life.

Our journey includes a profoundly luscious, 5-day ceremonial retreat (accommodation and meals provided), where we will immerse ourselves in deep connection and awakening.
We’ll experience the time bending effect of slowing down and infusing each day with deep connection in community with wildly brilliant women, immersed in exquisite beauty. This retreat will invite deep alignment with your soul’s calling, roots-deep self-love, legacy-level contribution, bone-deep clarity, and solid next steps on the path ahead. We’ll cry, we’ll laugh, we’ll dance, we’ll nourish, and we’ll celebrate this life in an environment that mirrors the type of world we want to live in.
Retreats are the greatest expression of my art and mastery. It’s magic.

The Woman You're Becoming
We Aspire to be…
Wise Leaders: Women who lead with clarity, integrity and vision. We lead with responsibility, taking ownership of the legacy we leave behind.
Great role models with strong moral character: Women whose values, actions, and integrity inspire others. We show up with authenticity and strength, leading by example and encouraging those around us to rise to their fullest potential.
Memorable, Inspiring, and Uplifting: We are women who light up the room—whose presence is magnetic and uplifting. We attract epic people and build communities around us.
Peace-Keepers: We create peace in the world by first cultivating peace within ourselves. We foster harmony in our hearts, minds, relationships, and households, becoming anchors of calm in the chaos around us.
Visionaries: Women connected to divine inspiration, with the ability to channel spirit into form. We have the capacity to bring our dreams and ideas into reality, creating what we envision and what the world needs.
Remarkable Mothers: Whether we nurture children, communities, projects, or Life itself, we are devoted stewards of the future. We mother with intention, care, and wisdom, guiding what we touch to flourish.
In Rhythm with Life: We live in harmony with ourselves and the world around us. We honor the natural rhythms of life, syncing our energy and actions with flow, ease, and balance.
Masters of Our Creative Powers: We take full ownership of our thoughts, words, emotions, attitudes, and actions. By mastering ourselves, we unlock the creative potential within us and use it to build the life, relationships and impact we desire.
Disciplined in Ways that Bring Out Our Best: We are women of focus, dedication, devotion and self-discipline. We show up consistently for our highest self, building habits and structures that amplify our strengths and support our growth.
Joyful: Above all, we are joyful! We know that true success is not just about what we achieve, but how we feel along the way. We cultivate joy in all aspects of our lives, savoring every moment, and radiating happiness to those around us. Here’s to the good life. :)
Our world calls for the wisdom and guidance of women who are devoted to a brighter future—holding the flame for our collective healing and liberation, and offering our unique gifts to the world in a way that honors what is sacred, without compromise.
This is why we must keep growing.
There’s a Better Way.
What will be different this year?
Life is really hard without a support system.
Perspective causes suffering, less so the situation. With coaching & community, you quickly see the truth and find your power in all situations.
There’s a lot you know to do, but aren’t doing. Battling with yourself. Research shows that accountability outside of ourselves through coaching and community is shown to increase our aligned action, discipline and goal achievement by 85%!!
