Let’s be honest, Revolutionary…
You know you’re powerful.

You know that your power leads to liberation for yourself, your loved ones, and all your communities of power.

And you aren’t afraid to access and utilize this inherent, Revolutionary power on the daily.

But if you’re being honest… you want more.

You want to feel even more connected to your inherent power.

You want to expand the amount of power you can access and hold- so that you can have even more impact in our communities.

You want even more access to the ancestors, who you know fuel your power every single day.

You want access to more of your power…

…not because you need it, but because it’s your birthright.

This is why we created this retreat for you…

Because you and our communities deserve more… and you deserve to be deeply held and supported while you get it.

This six week experience was designed to be a portal for experienced leaders, healers, coaches, and space holders who have already done plenty of inner work, somatic work, and/or spiritual work.

You’re ready to spend six glorious weeks basking in the glory of your power, and where you can go deep and do some serious expansion alongside other revolutionaries of color.

The moment you sign up, you’ll step into a deep, carefully crafted journey that will allow you to step out of the experience reconnected to the immensity of your power, and with a wildly expanded capacity to move mountains and increase the impact of your legacy.

“Gieselle is not a regular coach, she’s a real, authentic, loving, ancestral, bad bitch human who knows how to hold the space your soul needs in order to grow – and to create growth that truly lasts. She cares, period.

“Through The Power Portal, I realized my power is there regardless of what I’m doing or how I feel. I let go of the belief that more power means more responsibility. My power is mine no matter what I’m doing whether it’s all the things or not a damn thing. I can access it whenever and wherever.”

– Kat M.

Here’s the journey you’ll go on

Week 1: Welcome Kiki

In order to do the deep healing work we want to do together – we have to feel comfortable with one another. So, we’re starting off the day with a kiki to get to know one another, put our shields down, and begin building our community over the next few weeks.

Learn More

This will support your journey by:

Making you feel safer in the space, which will make it easier for you to share, be supported, and fully receptive to the work later
Introducing you to kinfolk leaders of color who can be your community for years to come
Allowing you to ease in and get fully present in the experience so that you’re truly here and ready for breakthroughs

Week 2: The Intersection of Safety & Power

It’s impossible to have full access to your power when your nervous system is on high alert – yet white supremacy and capitalism intentionally make BIPOC folx, queer folx, neurodivergent folx, and disabled folx feel unsafe to erode our power.

Learn More

In this session, we’ll play with cultivating internal, relational, and community safety – and how our power expands or contracts depending on how safe we feel.

I want you to feel as safe as humanly possible during this retreat so that you can fully experience the expansiveness of your power, so we will also be cultivating our community’s rules for safety so that you can know that you are held and taken care of.

Note: This session is not for beginners to somatic and energetic work. To get the full extent of this workshop, you should have experience being present in your body and your energetic realm.

In this session, we’ll explore:

how our experiences as BIPOC folx, queer folx, neurodivergent folx, and disabled folx impact our safety (and as a result our power) daily
how our power naturally expands or contracts as we experience safety (and lack thereof)
how we can cultivate and expand bubbles of safety in an externally unsafe world
what we need to increase relational safety in our collaborative, client, and team relationships

You’ll walk away with:

More awareness of where you do and don’t feel safe, and where you need to feel safer as a leader so that you can access more of your power
An expanded ability to cultivate internal and external safety, and as a result, cultivate your power
A fierce dedication to demanding your needs be honored and met in all relationships and scenarios.

Week 3: Releasing Crusty & Dusty Power Stories

In order to claim more power – we have to make space for it. We’re human beings, and we only have so much capacity – so it’s important that we create regular rituals to ensure that our capacity is being filled with life giving truths more than power-sucking stories.

Learn More

The truth is, no matter how much work we’ve done to release toxic stories, experiences, and trauma that impact our desire to hold power…there’s always another sneaky story hiding in a corner of our mind, a trauma that just now feels like its ready to be resolved, etc.

Note: This session is not for beginners to somatic and energetic work. To get the full extent of this workshop, you should have experience being present in your body and your energetic realm.

In this session, we’ll:

uncover what unhelpful stories, messages, and experiences re: trauma we’re still holding onto (how, sway?!)
release that shit somatically, mentally, and spiritually via community ritual

You’ll walk away with:

more space in your nervous system, mind, and spirit for things you want (like power!)
the ability and readiness to truly expand into the next level of your power
a better relationship with the emotions, stories, and protection mechanisms that your body isn’t quite ready to release – so that you stop making them “wrong” and start giving them the love they need to resolve someday.

Week 4: Claiming More Power

What does healthy power look like for you? What does more power feel like in your body? What are the parts of your identities, experiences, relationships that help you resource and expand your power? These are the questions we’ll answer in this session as we move through a body-based, spiritual practice to bring us deeper and deeper into our power.

Learn More

In this session, we’ll play with cultivating internal, relational, and community safety – and how our power expands or contracts depending on how safe we feel.

I want you to feel as safe as humanly possible during this retreat so that you can fully experience the expansiveness of your power, so we will also be cultivating our community’s rules for safety so that you can know that you are held and taken care of.

Note: This session is not for beginners to somatic and energetic work. To get the full extent of this workshop, you should have experience being present in your body and your energetic realm.

In this session, we’ll explore:

how our experiences as BIPOC folx, queer folx, neurodivergent folx, and disabled folx impact our safety (and as a result our power) daily
how our power naturally expands or contracts as we experience safety (and lack thereof)
how we can cultivate and expand bubbles of safety in an externally unsafe world
what we need to increase relational safety in our collaborative, client, and team relationships

You’ll walk away with:

More awareness of where you do and don’t feel safe, and where you need to feel safer as a leader so that you can access more of your power
An expanded ability to cultivate internal and external safety, and as a result, cultivate your power
A fierce dedication to demanding your needs be honored and met in all relationships and scenarios.

Week 5: Turning Individual Power into Collective Liberation

You’ve released the bullshit. You’ve claimed the power that’s your birthright. Now, it’s time for us to explore – what is craving to be created from this new influx of power? How can this power transform from individual glory to collective liberation?

Learn More

This is what you’ve been waiting for, if you’re honest – because you’re a leader and you cultivate your power for yourself… and your community.

We’ll explore:

what new futures, opportunities, and actions are possible with this expansion of power
what fears, stories, and traumas try to sneak in and block your legacy now that you’ve expanded to this new level of power
how to hold onto this new, expanded level of power

You’ll walk away with:

your plan for more legacy and impact
an awareness of the blocks that will come up – so that you can tackle them head-on instead of being surprised when they take you down
actionable tools and resources to help you resource and maintain your connection to this deep, infinite power in the day-to-day world

Week 6: Closing Ceremony

You’ve gone through six weeks of deep, expansive work. Now, it’s time to honor the journey and close the portal. We’ll check on those manifestations from the bonus sessions: how much has changed since you said “hell fucking yes!” to this experience?

Learn More

We’ll reflect on what you’ve learned, what you’ve expanded into, and celebrate the legacy you’re about to create. We will say our goodbyes and gratitudes to the community.

We’ll also talk about what support and resourcing you need to continue accessing and expanding this power, and what it could look like to receive that support from me via 1:1 coaching.

This will support your journey by:

Sealing in the lessons of the retreat
Connecting with community members to continue relationships and support in the real world
Building awareness of what support you need to maintain the work we did in this retreat

I'm Ready to join

After the Power Portal,
you’ll be able to…

Expand into your next level as a revolutionary leader
Boldly take the actions you need to take to have a larger legacy in our communities
Connect to your inherent power in a deeper, more expansive way – and hold that connection for longer periods of time

Without hitting tons of mental and nervous system roadblocks in the process.

“After working with Gieselle, I have personal power and I love the work that I do. And, having Gieselle as a coach, you will never feel alone or crazy”

I am putting myself in situations that are uncomfortable and challenging knowing that I will grow from them and learn more about myself. Working with Gieselle is worth the investment in money and time. As BIPOC, it is a complex weave of roadblocks, issues, systems, etc that we have to deal with on a day-to-day basis. Sometimes all at once. She is strong, direct, loving, kind, empathetic — all the qualities that you need in someone who can help you maneuver in this journey of life as a person of color.”

Client Testimonials

“The Power Portal was hands-down the most powerful and transformative experience I have ever had – in person or virtual – over such a short period of time. ”

“In the almost two weeks since the experience, I have felt like a different person. I am taking more decisive and courageous steps to show up in ways that I’ve felt called to, but held back by worry, fear, or anxiety.

In the retreat, I said I wanted to call in a steady and potent stream of internal power and I have absolutely been doing that. I feel as though I have expanded into the next stage of my personal growth and evolution.“

– Natalie Domond

“DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!! The Power Portal was A++++++++++!!!”

“During the session on The Intersection of Safety and Power, I unlocked a deep sense of safety within myself that has since allowed me to ask others for support from a place of knowing that I am as worthy of receiving it as anyone else. The next morning I woke up and I just knew that I would never have to settle for less again, either in love or work.

After the rituals on the second day, I woke up the next morning and channeled intuitive messages to connect to my own power like never before. I made heartfelt connections with wonderful humans who I hope to do a lot of revolution with in the future.”

– Linmayu Appavu

“This experience was so powerful. Connecting with myself in this way, using mindset, somatic/energy work unlocked a new level, the level I’ve been needing to take the next leaps forward.”

“My biggest win from this experience was really feeling into my power & knowing when I’ve stepped into it. Before I didn’t even entertain what it would feel like & I was intimidated by it. Practicing connecting with it, and my ancestors consistently over the experience helped me embrace it.”

– Elle Graham

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m new to somatic/ intuitive/ mindset practices - is this for me?

If you are experienced and comfortable in at least one of these areas, then yes, this experience is for you. This experience is best for folks who are no stranger to spirituality and personal development work.

If you are a newbie to the personal development world or have not been coached or worked with a spiritual mentor before, this experience may, transparently, be challenging for you.

What do you mean by revolutionary leader?

I consider a revolutionary leader to be someone who has been about this revolutionary life – you don’t need me to explain what white supremacy culture is, or why capitalism is problematic. You’re deeply committed to liberating marginalized communities, and are interested in doing it in human centered ways. Revolutionary leadership isn’t about how many employees/contractors you have, or how big your community is (because that shit is steeped in capitalism and is not revolutionary). Revolutionary leadership can be the way you lead yourself, or your family.

Do I need to have a business to attend this experience?

No, but this experience is meant for folks who are looking to create a legacy in communities of color – typically outside of the corporate world. My examples will mostly be grounded in entrepreneurship because that’s who I tend to serve. That being said, I have years of experience serving non-entrepreneurs. If you join as a non-entrepreneur, I will be sure to accommodate you.

I’ll have to miss a session - will this be recorded?

Yes, this will be recorded and replays will be shared with everyone who signed up for the experience! That being said – I really challenge you to create the space you need to attend all six sessions live. Each session is essential (even the welcome and closing ceremonies!) and designed to build upon the others. If you don’t attend the experience live, I can’t support you through whatever comes up as you’re moving through the practices.

If you need support in showing up live once you sign up, let me know. I’m happy to chat with you via email, DM, carrier pigeon – whatever it takes to get you there all six sessions, I’m in.

Will I get individual time and coaching in this experience?

Yes. There will be opportunities for individuals to be coached and supported in every single session – so if you have a question or a need, I will do my best to meet it.

I’m white or white presenting - can I come to this retreat?

If you identify as white, or aren’t sure if you identify as a person of color, this experience isn’t for you.

If you identify as a person of color but are white presenting, feel free to sign up. I will be sending out an intake form for all attendees and I will be having conversations with all white-presenting individuals before the experience starts to ensure that you attending this experience will be safe for everyone, myself included.

How will you ensure safety during this experience?

I have a set of community guidelines that I will be enforcing (with love!) I also have a clear feedback loop for you to report if you have felt harmed by me, or someone in the community. I will do my best to restore safety for all individuals in the space, and if I can’t restore safety, I will find a resolution that we all agree is best.

Do I need to be a woman to join this?

This retreat is specifically for women, femmes, and nonbinary folks of color who are comfortable in spaces that center the experiences of women. If you identify as a man, this is not the retreat for you.

For those who are femmes or non-binary, we will make sure pronouns are included in everyone’s zoom name, and I am vigilant about maintaining a gender-neutral space as much as possible. You don’t have to worry about being misgendered or being unprotected when harm occurs.

I hold other marginalized identities outside of my race - will I be represented and held in those identities in this space?

Yes. I have experience working with Immigrants, Children of Immigrants, Third Culture Kids, Queer Folx, Individuals who are , Neurodivergent Folx, Disabled folx, Chronically ill folx, Folx who struggle with mental illness, Parents, the list goes on.

I will center and hold all of your identities, and will do my best to shape every experience to be accessible for folks of all abilities. Before the experience, we’ll send out an intake form – please let me know if there of any special needs or requests you have, and I will do everything in our power to accommodate them.
