Ladies, it's time for Namasme to come to the West Coast for our very first Meuf Night in Los Angeles! Join us for a night of deep conversation, bonding, and a special exercise. We will be discussing how to defeat that pesky little voice that says:

‘I’m not effective enough.’

‘I don’t have enough experience.’

’I’m not attractive enough.’

‘Who am I kidding here?’ 

We all have it and you know it!  You know, the one that creeps up on us and makes us feel insecure. The one that keeps us from pursuing opportunities that we want or simply makes us feel like crap every time we look in the mirror or go on Facebook. You know, the one that won’t ever go away because she comes from you. The phrasing may be different every time we hear it but the message is the same…

‘You are not enough.’

But why is that voice there? Where did it come from and how can we get rid of it? After all, we have better things to do with our time and energy than waste them on self-judgment, don’t we? 

Join us and put yourself back on the map and practice some delicious self-care! We very much look forward to seeing you there.

****If you're interested in coming, please shoot us a note to hey@namasme.com for further details.****

It's that time of year... the time when we all go home to our families for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The time for food, enjoyment, and for most of us, a good reminder of the importance of and enforcement of healthy boundaries.

Truth is, in my practice as a coach, boundaries is probably the number one topic that I work on with women when it comes to their relationships with their loved ones. It just seems harder for us women to do... So, let's talk about it around a beautiful fire pit!

We will discuss all things boundaries related: How to create them, enforce them, recognize them, and respect them without taking things personally...All with some lovely refreshments and some healthy delicious food.

So please join us for a beautiful night around the fire where we will bond and be merry with our fellow Meufs. The district hasn't had a Meuf night in a while so it's time to reconvene and talk about one of the biggest challenges to our satisfaction! Let's keep the holidays cheerful shall we?

**BIG THANK YOU TO OUR GRACIOUS HOST, JENNIFER VINSON OF PR FIRM VINSON COMMUNICATIONS**

For the address, please send us a note to hey@namasme.com.

See you soon!

‘I don’t have enough experience.’

’I’m not attractive enough.’

Ladies, it’s time to meet and defeat your inner critic! 

Please join us for: 6 Steps to Defeating Your Inner Critic, a wellness workshop hosted by Jenniffer Green, founder and CEO of Namasme at the State Department. (For address and other details, please send us a note at hey@namasme.com.

Being a woman in the workforce can be one of the most challenging personal development projects that you can take on as an individual and it’s easy to put yourself on the back burner when you have a million things to do and others to worry about. Doing so, however, can cost you your health, your relationships, and even your business so don’t fall into the burnout trap!

Join us and put yourself back on the map and practice some delicious self-care!

Ladies, it's time to meet and defeat your inner critic!

Please join us for: 6 Steps to Silencing Your Inner Critic, a workshop designed and facilitated by a certified life coach, to help you start changing the way you relate to yourself. To register, click here.

During the workshop you will learn:

1. How to identify your inner critic

2. Where it comes from and how to get some distance from it

3. A tried and tested 6 step process to defeat it.

Most importantly though, you will learn how to be a bit kinder to yourself. After all, we live in a society that makes it very difficult to not judge ourselves or each other. It's time to change the conversation!

As part of the workshop you will also receive exclusive materials to take with you for reference at home. You will also receive an invitation to join an exclusive and free online community of open minded, supportive, smart, and powerful international ladies who are in their own way changing the world as they support each other.

Remember, as modern women we are also constantly bombarded by things that require our attention so it’s easy to put ourselves on the back burner when we have busy lives to lead. Doing so, however, can cost us our health, our relationships, and even our businesses.

Don’t fall into the burnout trap or into an unhealthy cycle of self-judgment! Join us and put yourself back on the map and practice some delicious self-care will you?

If you have any questions about the workshop, please feel free to send me a note! I'll be happy to answer them.

**Time is in Eastern Standard Time so please adjust accordingly**

Self-judgment is probably the hardest thing to overcome from a personal development perspective and the thing I tackle the most with my clients. Join us to learn the ins and outs of why we judge ourselves, how to decipher what's really behind all the judgment, and how to change the discourse in our minds to prevent it from happening in the future!

This webinar is free of charge but available exclusively to the ladies from Meuf on Top, our online platform for women looking to get a little more from their lives. In order to join the event, you must first join the group on Facebook here.

Due to the success of our first vision board workshop, we've decided to host another! So ladies, if you're in Hong Kong and ready to get a little clarity on your dreams and goals for 2017 now that the holidays are over and you're back to real life, join us! For details send me a note to: hey@namasme.com.

See you soon!

The euphoria of the holidays has passed. Some of us by this time have already fallen off of the resolution wagon and old habits are making their way back to our lives. Even though it's less than ideal, it could be worse so we slowly drift back into our old routines and slowly but surely compromise our goals for the year because we lack a sense of clarity and urgency around them. The good news? There are ways of preventing this!

Studies have shown that visualization, in many fields, ranging from sports to business, serves a great purpose when it comes to goal setting. With this in mind, we've created a special vision boarding workshop for our Hong Kong ladies who are looking for a little support around their goals for 2017. Don't know what a dream board is? Read this.

Due to the cost of materials, the event will cost $13 USD per person and are expected to RSVP 12 hours before the event on our meetup.com page. To RSVP please click here.

We look forward to seeing you there and wish you all a happy holiday season!

It's that time of year! You know, the time when we take a chance to think about what's next, dream a little, and hopefully get to work! So...

What do you want to create in 2017?

How can you set yourself up for success in achieving your goals this year? Join us to get clarity on what you want to achieve, what you need to make it happen, and who you need to engage along the way to help you. Who knows? You may find a workout buddy, a fellow entrepreneur, or an accountability partner for a new project you're taking on.

We will be using some exercises straight out of the Namasme playbook in order to structure the evening and ensure that it will be beneficial to all of you on a deeper level so come with an open mind, an open heart, and a willingness to soak up the enormous amount of collective wisdom that some of the finest ladies in DC have to offer! We look forward to seeing you there.

As always, please bring either a snack or drink to share with your fellow goal oriented meufs!

Happy holidays and see you soon.

The time has come for our second Meuf Night in Hong Kong and on the menu is FEAR, my least favorite four letter word. ;)

Fear in our lives is not the most obvious of guests but she definitely has a meaningful impact... Let's talk about it and discuss ways to get over her!

Please come prepared to learn, to share, and to meet some incredible ladies. If this meeting is anything like the last, we should be in for a lovely evening full of inspiration, surprises, and great stories.

Space is being reserved for just 15 women so we can keep the conversation intimate so please RSVP as soon as possible. In order to do so, please click here to sign up for the Meet Up.

If you do and can't join us, let us know so we can open up your spot to someone else.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Ladies of Hong Kong the Meufia has arrived!

Are you a strong and independent woman in Hong Kong? Interested in meeting some powerful women and learning something new? Join us for our first ever Woman on Top Meetup: The Show and Tell Edition!

As this is our first gathering in Hong Kong, we will be participating in our very own version of show and tell much like some of us did in school growing up and how some of our favorite Meufs did in Paris not too long ago. This means all participants will bring something or someone that they would like to share something about... A piece of jewelry that has a cool story behind it, a friend and the story about how they met, an African mask from a trip, their favorite lighter, whatever! The idea is to get all of us to share something fun, break the ice and learn about each other in a somewhat unconventional way.

Women are very powerful creatures. When they get together with an open mind, an open heart, and in support of one another, magic happens. Join us and be part of that magic!

Snacks and drinks will be provided but feel free to bring whatever you'd like. To register, please sign up for the local group here and find the event page so you can RSVP.

We look forward to seeing you there!

The Beatles worded it best..HELP! I need somebody!

Women. We’re great at giving help…. Not so great at asking for it or receiving it. This usually makes us awesome mothers, daughters, sisters, partners, friends because we make time for everyone and oftentimes leave our needs for last. Let’s decode the reasons why asking for assistance and learning to receive are so damn difficult for the average woman and let’s share a little bit about our every day lives and where we could use a hand. Who knows, maybe what you need can be yours simply by putting it out there to the group!  It’s time to put this collective brain power and magic to use!

To prepare, give some thought as to what area of your life you need a little help on. Are you organizing an event? Do you need to go to the gym more? Need contacts in a particular industry? Are going through a rough time emotionally? Whatever it is, be prepared to share and receive some assistance from your fellow Meufs! :)

See you then and remember to bring a snack or drink to share with the group.

See you soon!

We are always our worst critics.

We all have our own version of I'm not good enough and it shows up often in our every day lives and prevents us from pushing boundaries and going after the life we really want to lead. Truth is, more dreams die because of fear than anything else. We all at some point fear we aren't capable, smart, beautiful, young, (insert attractive characteristic) enough and that negative self-talk keeps us in a box we have no business being in. We play small and we are afraid to create in that space.

But what if we could learn to silence our inner critic? What if we could make peace with who/where we are so we could spend our energy building our new self/life rather than feeling like crap about our current situation?

Well, it's hard but it's doable and very much worth it. Join us in Washington, DC to find out how! 

For more info on the event send us a note at hey@namasme.com or click here.

We would all like to be 'perfect'. But what does 'perfect' actually mean? What does our pursuit of perfect cost us? Where do our definitions of perfection even come from? How do they influence our lives and more importantly the way that we relate to ourselves?

Let's take a deep dive into these questions and discover a bit more about ourselves, each other and have some delicious cold pressed juice and brunch! Please join me and a group of smart and self-aware ladies from very very different backgrounds at Cpress as we discuss a topic that affects all of us profoundly... sometimes without our knowing it! 

Interested? Send us a note to hey@namasme.com, and we'll include you in the guest list!

Please join us for our fourth installment of the Meeting of the Meufs Paris! We are changing the location of our meeting to the evermore central and evermore charming Ile St. Louis to better accommodate some of our Meufs and to make this an event truly owned by our community. 

As usual, we will eat, drink, discuss, share, and grow so if you're a woman who is craving deeper conversations and connections and find yourself in Paris, come! We'd love to have you. For additional information about the event, please send us a note here. 

If you don't find yourself in Paris but would still like to become a member of our growing community of empowered women, find us on Facebook by searching for Meuf on Top and ask to become a member.

See you soon!

Dreams are a funny thing so let's talk about them!

Whether you want to share your dreams for the future, the actual dreams you've had while sleeping, or childhood stories about wanting to become an astronaut or Frida Kahlo, come join us as we explore ourselves and each other!

Dreams can actually be very telling if you are able to decipher what your subconscious is trying to tell you through them. Accompanied by a trusty dream dictionary, let's take a deep dive as we get to know each other better and share some of the best stories, food, and wine that Paris has to offer!

As always, please send us a note through the Book Now button if you're interested in joining us for the conversation as seating is limited.

See you in La La Land!

Please join us for the second installment of the Meeting of the Meufs, Paris! Our first meeting was such a success and we had so much fun we wanted a repeat sooner rather than later. Since many of our local Meuf on Top members (Meufs) were unable to join and there's always stuff to share, we'll keep the theme the same (Show and Tell) and have added a little bonus courtesy of our friend Marcel Proust (a surprise).

What to expect: "It's like Vegas, but in Paris!"

What do we mean? Whatever happens at a Meeting of the Meufs stays there.

Why? It gets personal, it gets emotional, it gets raw, and it gets real... And it's beautiful. And to remain that way, it must be confidential too.

So come ready to share, come ready to laugh and maybe cry as we get to know each other in a more meaningful and thoughtful way.

Magic happens when powerful women get together. Let's make the best of it!

For logistical details on the meeting and to become a part of the Facebook group, please send us a note at: hey@namasme.com or through our Book Now button.

Enough complaining. Enough passive acceptance of what we know can be better.

It's time to create the reality that we want to see in the world and have fun while we do it. It's time to prove that doing right by your community doesn't have to be boring. It's time to inspire others to get off their asses and do the same... at Brunch!

Brain Brunch: The Good Samaritan Edition will be broken down in three parts:

The Deed - We’ll gather in a specific location somewhere in NW at 11am SHARP. We’ll powwow. Each Bruncher will receive a task and specific instructions for what will go down between 11:15am - 12:15pm. We will walk from the meeting place to the secret location and will devote the next hour to making DC a better and more livable place for the community. How? I won’t tell you. Just know that it’s going to be super fun and trust that it will be worth it.

The Meal - Fresh organic local Ingredients coupled with sustainably grown and environmentally friendly fare from all over the world. If Benetton made food, our spread would look like an ad for them. Because it’s Brunch, there will also be booze. In this case, we will support local winemakers and craft breweries as we enjoy refreshments in the summer sun.

The Discussion- It wouldn’t be Brain Brunch without some thought provoking discussion. After we finish being good samaritans and as we re-group and have a delicious picnic, we will discuss what it felt like to do The Deed (get your mind out of the gutter please!) and the changes that we would like to see in the world. At the end of the day, each of us has something positive to contribute. Let’s brainstorm ways to make it happen and figure out a way to hold each other accountable for the change we want to see. To see the change we have to be the change.

Being the change starts with a choice followed by a commitment. Commitments imply action and follow through. It’s time to put your time, energy, and money where your mouth is! You’ll finish your weekend on a high note and you’ll take home with you a badass gift to remember the experience by. 

On another note, if you take yourself too seriously, aren’t willing to shake it in public, hate the District, and only enjoy processed food this might not be the event for you.

If that's not you, join us and help us make DC more beautiful and your life richer by buying your ticket below! (We only have room for 15 peeps so act quickly!)

*All proceeds of Brain Brunch go towards paying for the event itself.
