  • A Conversation with Isabel Barreto, Amy Keller and Jeana Donovan

    Isabel’s commitment to her practice will inspire you. How she’s kept it up will confront you. In her conversation with me and Jeana you’ll hear her dispel the myths of conscious and gentle parenting, why she believes in Meditation for Mamas, how a 40-day personal experiment changed her and her children’s lives, as well as the value in setting strong boundaries, owning your energy and being the leader… whether you want to or not.

    Like a great leader, she shares the tools to begin your own daily practice while holding you accountable.

    On a personal note... we loved the way she described our children as the living breathing patterns of our own subconscious.

    About Isabel Barreto

    Isabel Barreto is a movement, breathwork and meditation teacher, a folk herbalist, and intuitive earth medicine woman. Isabel has been applying the technology of Kundalini yoga and meditation through practice in her life for over 20 years. When she gave birth to her first child in 2013, she began to utilize the powerful techniques of breathwork, movement, mantra and meditation as tools for energy management, to curb anxiety, to stay connected to herself and develop a strong inner anchor - she found her practice instrumental to motherhood. Isabel teaches workshops, works one-on-one with clients, and leads a seasonal 40-day movement, breathwork, meditation experience container that aligns with the rhythm of the lunar and earth cycles.

  • Wildflowers” lyrics

    You belong among the wildflowers
    You belong in a boat out at sea
    Sail away, kill off the hours
    You belong somewhere you feel free

    Run away, find you a lover
    Go away somewhere all bright and new
    I have seen no other
    Who compares with you

    You belong among the wildflowers
    You belong in a boat out at sea
    You belong with your love on your arm
    You belong somewhere you feel free

    Run away, go find a lover
    Run away, let your heart be your guide
    You deserve deepest of cover
    You belong in that home by and by

    You belong among the wildflowers
    You belong somewhere close to me
    Far away from your trouble and worry
    You belong somewhere you feel free
    You belong somewhere you feel free
