The core principle
Many things can be true at once.
We are complex. I AM, I MUST, I CAN’T, and I HURT can all be present at the same time. The Ring is used to notice what is most prominent in awareness in this moment—not to decide who you are or where you should remain.
Every state contains information. The practice is to recognize what is present, understand what the body may be communicating or protecting, and discover what support or choice is available.
The seven-week rhythm
Six guided sessions with room to integrate.
Week four is an integration week with no new lesson. The pause is part of the program—not something to catch up from.
I MUST — urgency and over-adaptation
Explore vigilance, bracing, pleasing, fixing, control, over-functioning, and the pressure to act through a body-first attachment lens.
I CAN’T — shutdown and disconnection
Notice depletion, numbness, withdrawal, reduced access to words or action, and the body’s need for less input without forcing activation.
I HURT — attachment and belonging
Make room for relational pain, grief, shame, identity, and not feeling seen without being required to retell or relive your history.
I AM — contact with self
Explore needs, values, boundaries, connection, play, and stillness. I AM can coexist with hurt, urgency, fatigue, fear, or uncertainty.
From protection to supported choice
Create a personal Ring map of body cues, transitions, protective intentions, workable supports, and 95%-doable choices.

This may fit if
You understand many of your patterns but your body still reacts through urgency, shutdown, bracing, pleasing, numbness, or withdrawal.
You want to explore attachment and nervous-system patterns without being required to retell your entire history.
You want practical language for boundaries, connection, protection, support, and choice.
You can participate in an educational group and have appropriate support for needs outside the program’s scope.
This program is not a fit for crisis support, diagnosis, intensive trauma processing, or individualized mental-health treatment. Maria’s work is educational and experiential and does not replace licensed care.
Founding cohort
Apply without committing to enroll.
Maria will review each application for fit and reply personally. If the group is aligned, you will receive the cohort dates, complete agreement, and payment options before deciding.
Founding cohort: $497. A payment plan will be available after acceptance.
Common questions
A clear place to decide.
Is this therapy?
No. It is educational and experiential somatic coaching. Maria does not diagnose or treat mental-health conditions, and the group is not crisis support.
Do I have to share my story?
No. Personal disclosure is optional. The work can stay with present sensation, posture, breath, energy, contact, movement, and impulse.
Are sessions recorded?
Maria’s teaching and guided practices may be recorded. Participant sharing, coaching demonstrations, and breakout rooms are not recorded.
Is I AM the goal?
No. I AM is contact with self, not a final or superior state. It can be present alongside hurt, urgency, fatigue, fear, or uncertainty.
What happens after I apply?
Maria reviews your application and replies personally. If invited, you receive the dates, group agreement, and payment options before making a commitment.
Can I work privately instead?
Yes. You can book a clarity call to discuss a private somatic attachment package or another appropriate next step.
