What is PORTAL?
PORTAL is a seasonal women's group and flower essence journey circle. PORTAL is led by Michele Wellington who is a Flower Essence Practitioner and mentor for women. PORTAL weaves together community, flower essence journey, self-discovery, and integration.
Community
Opportunity to connect, share and immerse yourself in the company of like-minded women.
Self-Discovery
A quiet space to explore yourself, the featured plant and the monthly emotional growth themes.
Journey
An intentional slowing down + tuning in
to self and the featured flower essence of the evening.
Integration
Time to process your journey and clarify the wisdom arising in the group and from the plants.
PEONY
We’re standing at the threshold of summer.
The sun at its peak.
The light at its fullest.
And with it, the invitation to open.
After a winter of rest and contraction and a spring of sorting, shifting, and clearing, we’ve arrived in a season that asks more of us.
Summer asks for more visibility, more aliveness, more embodiment, and more presence.
But for many of us, this peaking light also stirs and illuminates what feels stuck inside.
Lack of resources. Scarcity around time, money, love, and energy. The fear that there won’t be enough or that we won’t be enough.
This is the deeper work of summer: softening the scarcity codes that live in our systems, in our lineage, and in our cells.
And this summer, we do it with the help of Peony.
In a time of global unraveling when systems are unstable, when pressure is high, when the world moves fast and asks us to do more with less Peony offers a different rhythm.
She reminds us:
Your life can be lush, steady, and alive with beauty.
Even now.
This is an essence of energetic magnetism.
With Peony, we learn to receive without exhaustion.
We learn to expand without burning out.
Peony brings the nervous system back into harmony with having while opening to the fullness of life.
Gently at your own pace.
This is a return to enjoyment. Enjoyment that lives in your body, not just your plans. Enjoyment that reminds you how good it feels to be here.

Meet Your Facilitator
In my ten years facilitating in-person and virtual women's groups, I've seen time and time again a change happen in individuals who are given the space for intimacy with others and intimacy with self.
PORTAL is an opportunity to have the above and include intimacy with plants. Over the last year, I’ve been working deeply with plants in the form of Flower Essences. With a painful break up of a long-term partnership and simultaneous health crisis, I turned to these plant allies when I felt like I had nothing else to turn to due to sheer emotional exhaustion. I intentionally journeyed with these plants and gratefully received the lessons and subtle medicine they uniquely hold.
PORTAL is an invitation for you to enter the realm of the subtle to explore some deeper aspects of your healing + integration work and meet yourself on the other side.
Hi! I'm Michele the creator of PORTAL.

PORTAL FAQs
-
Do I have to finish the course in a certain time period?Yes and no. While this program is designed to be completed over six week (one session per week) it is not a requirement. Once you register for the program you’ll have lifetime access to the Emotional Mastery material so you are free to design your own schedule and go at your own pace if you so choose. All of the videos, digital workbooks and bonuses are yours to keep forever so please take as long as you like to work through the material if you want to.
-
So, is this course like therapy?No. This is an educational course. While I do have a Psychology Degree and Masters of Education, I am not a licensed mental health professional and I do not provide psychotherapy, counseling, or any other mental health services that would require a license. What I provide in this course is education, training and access to coaching and Q&A videos about dating, relationships, healing and personal growth that all have the potential for substantial learning and life transformation.
-
I am working with a therapist already. Is it ok to take a course like this?ABSOLUTELY! And… I would mention it to your therapist. Here are my thoughts. Working with both a therapist and taking a transformational course like this can be a wonderful and complementary experience. In therapy, you get to look at every part of yourself that has shaped you into the person you are. With an online course like Date With Depth, created by a certified coach, you’ll get to look at who you are right now AND who you want to be. Having both a therapist and course like this can support each other as knowing how you came to be where you are will often help you become the person you want to be.
-
Is this course LGBTQ friendly and inclusive of diverse relationship models?Sure is! As the guide for this program, I’m in a heterosexual coupleship and use personal stories to teach the content inside Date With Depth. The course is not gender specific or oriented toward any specific sexual orientation. I welcome any feedback that will help make this program more inclusive as you go through the program.
-
What if I need more support? Is this program available with coaching?Yes! Inside the course portal I share more information about how to get private coaching support while taking this course.
Participants Share Their Experience of PORTAL
"At PORTAL...
Michele created a unique experience that combined teaching, wisdom, community, individual self reflection and community sharing. I felt relaxed and safe in the container of the circle and loved that everyone had an opportunity to share. It was a beautiful process and I felt I got some guidance from my own inner knowing and also from Michele and the other women. I will definitely be coming back every month!
