Please join me for Ritual + Reward
a half day virtual workshop on July 19, 2026 From 12 pm - 4 pm EST
Ritual + Reward is a sacred productivity workshop for rebel mystics who want to turn avoidance into momentum.
This half day virtual workshop is for you if:
You are brilliant in bursts, but struggle with maintenance.
You can lead, create, build, make magic, launch offers, care for everyone, and move mountains when it matters,
But somehow the repeatable daily things (and/or the creative delightful things) still elude you
You desperately want to write the emails, launch the thing, clean up the backend, tend your body, create the art, send the letter, build the rhythm, and actually return to what matters. But you can’t seem to get there.
Your resistance is wise.
You are not moving in some areas for very good reasons.
You are not lazy.
You are not broken.
You do not need to be more “consistent.”
Perhaps you have not yet met readiness. Maybe your nervous system has had enough of being forced. Or it could be that your life is overflowing, beautiful yet demanding, and very much unpredictable.
Your capacity may vary.
And no doubt you’ve felt the grief of realizing that the ideal conditions for you to write the book/learn to sew/finally process those overdue financials may never exist.
Consider that your dreams and desires and to-dos don’t need to be managed, maybe you need to be invited into a different relationship with them.
Hi! I’m Lauren!
And I have 37 years of journals with handwritten schedules and plans that mostly did not help me get closer to my dreams. (Yes, I began my earliest efforts at scheduling when I was 8 years old.)
I have always been creative; I have always been ambitious and an entrepreneur. And I have always been super resistant to structure. You could call it demand avoidance, neurodivergence, resistance, fear of success. But it took me until 2020 to find a soothing and suitable way to relate to my own rebel mystic brain and actually take action on the dreams I have always had inside me.
I didn’t need another planner (unless it was super pretty).
I didn’t need to shame myself into consistency or time-block my way into a nervous system revolt.
I didn’t need to turn my life into a spreadsheet.
I created Ritual + Reward because I needed it first.
I am an artist, a mystic, a mother, a teacher, a creator, and a woman with a very traumatized nervous system living a very real and challenging life.
I know what it is to be both powerful and sensitive.
I know what it is to have big vision and low tolerance for arbitrary structure.
I know what it is to be able to facilitate transformation for other people while still getting tangled in my own daily rhythms, admin, visibility, body care, launches, house care, and follow-through.
And I know this:
Force has never created my best work.
Shame has never made me more alive.
Rigid productivity systems have never honored the way my body, brain, creativity, or spirit actually move.
So I started asking a different question:
What would make this action feel meaningful enough to begin and rewarding enough to return to?
That question changed everything.
Ritual + Reward is the system I built from that question.
It is sacred, practical, beautiful, flexible, and deeply usable.
It helps you stop waiting for the perfect mood, the perfect plan, or the perfect nervous system state before you begin.
It gives you a way back into motion.
Again and again.
Your resistance is not the problem.
The system is.
Most productivity advice was not built for women like us.
It was built for linear brains, clean calendars, quiet houses, endless capacity, and people who can simply decide to do a thing and then do it.
Some people can obey a checklist.
Some of us need beauty, meaning, agency, rhythm, and reward.
A rigid plan can feel like a demand.
But a ritual can feel like an inviting doorway.
A reward teaches the body:
this is safe to return to.
That is the heart of Ritual + Reward.
What we’ll do together
Inside Ritual + Reward, we’ll turn the things you keep avoiding into rituals your body can actually say yes to.
Not by adding more pressure.
Not by pretending your life is simpler than it is.
Not by making you perform discipline.
We’ll build a living rhythm using two simple pieces:
Ritual
In the first half of the workshop you’ll learn my approach to ritual and how to craft a simple, meaningful ritual for yourself that feels like a delightful invitation, not a harrowing “must do.”
Ritual gives your intentions momentum and your actions meaning.
It turns a task into a threshold.
And it helps your body understand: this matters, and I am entering it with intention.
Reward
Reward gives your body a reason to return.
Not as a bribe.
Not as childish self-management.
But as nervous-system repair.
As pleasure.
As proof that follow-through can feel good and that it’s enticing to get started.
What you’ll create
By the end of the workshop, you will have:
A personalized Ritual + Reward Map for one action, project, habit, or rhythm you keep avoiding
A clearer understanding of why your current productivity systems fail
A way to turn an important task into something your body can actually begin
A reward loop that makes follow-through feel safer, more satisfying, and more desirable
A simple return plan for the days you fall off, get interrupted, or lose momentum
Practical next steps for your project, rhythm, offer, body care, creative practice, or daily life
More self-trust around how you actually work
Less shame around your resistance
Your Ritual + Reward Map is not another planner.
It is a living return point.
It helps you name the action, soften the demand, give it meaning, attach a real reward, and create a way back in when life inevitably disrupts the plan.
When your brain turns the task into a mountain, the map brings it back down to the next sacred step.

This is especially for you if...
You are a creative woman, founder, artist, coach, healer, facilitator, mother, rebel mystic, or sensitive leader.
You may have ADHD, autistic traits, PDA-ish demand resistance, trauma history, burnout, high sensitivity, or simply a nervous system that does not respond well to force.
You do not need a diagnosis to belong here.
This is for women whose lives require gentleness — but who are not here to play small.
This is for women who want their days to feel less like survival and more like devotion.
This is for women who know they are here to create more beauty, money, meaning, and impact — but need a kinder way to return to the work.
Why July 19?
Because July 20 is an astrologically potent day that marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new world.
So on July 19, we prepare.
We do not create from fantasy.
We do not revolutionize the systems of the world without revolutionizing the systems of our day-to-day as well.
On July 19 we will create the ritual structure that helps our desires (micro and macro) become movement.
We prepare the body, the calendar, the project, the rhythm, and the next step.
This is a workshop for the woman who knows that manifestation is not separate from action.
It is about making aligned action feel sacred enough to begin — and rewarding enough to repeat.
You may be wondering...
“What if I’ve tried everything and nothing sticks?”
Good. That means we are not going to build another rigid system for you to abandon. We are going to look at why those systems failed and design something more alive, responsive, and body-honoring.
“What if I’m inconsistent?”
Then you are exactly who this is for. Ritual + Reward is not built on perfect consistency. It is built on return.
“What if I’m already overwhelmed?”
This is not about adding more to your life. It is about choosing the actions that matter and making them easier to enter.
“What if I don’t know what ritual I need?”
You don’t have to know before you come. We will build it together.
“Is this practical or spiritual?”
Both. Ritual without action becomes fantasy. Action without meaning becomes depletion. Ritual + Reward brings them together.
“Will there be a replay?”
Always. My intention is that you set aside time to participate live. But life happens. So the replay is available to you.
“Will this work for me?”
Ritual + Reward invites you to keep the promises you make to yourself. This is self-love in action and we will actively practice it on July 19 as you craft and implement your first ritual. Also over 200 other participants have used R+R to transform their relationship to productivity.
“How much is it?”
This Ritual + Reward workshop (the first I have taught since 2020!) is $33
Your real life is not an obstacle to beauty.
It is the material.
You do not need to wait until life gets easier before you let it become beautiful.
You do not need to wait until you are more disciplined before you move.
You do not need to earn pleasure after the work is done.
Beauty is part of how the work gets done.
Ritual is how we make the ordinary sacred.
Reward is how we teach the body to return.
And return is how we build a life.
And, if you need a little more about me:

I’m a double Aries and a Taurus rising. I love the cult of Mary Magdalene (the only kind of cult I like), enjoy watching TV while eating, have a green thumb, and doom scroll far too much.
