Embracing Mid-Life as a Growth Spurt (MLGS) this Fall Season
A Jen-till-Human Group Coaching Program

Group Program Runs

Autumnal Equinox to December Solstice

September 24 - December 17, 2024

Registration will close September 22, 2024

Why a MLGS Group Coaching may be right for you?

What is the wisdom of Autumn? 

 

Autumn, a season of gathering and harvesting, plays a vital role in the cycle of life. It is a time to appreciate, give thanks, and harvest our energies with discerning clarity, consciously choosing what we need to hold onto and what we must free and let go. This process of discernment and release is a key part of our personal growth, mirroring the natural world around us.

With shorter days and cooling temperatures, we honor and release what no longer serves us. Like the trees and nature surrounding us, we let go knowing what we return to the earth will become compost for the seasons ahead.  Nothing is ever lost, only recycled.

In the Five Elements Traditional Chinese Wisdom, Autumn is related to:

  • the element Metal

  • the emotion Grief

  • the climate of Dry

  • the Lungs (yin organ) and the Large Intestine (yang organ)

While metal may be perceived as hard and cold, metal can also conduct electric energy carrying signals that communicate and connect.  Metal can be shaped by fire into structures that support, protect, and warm us. Metal minerals are molded by the Earth with patience and time into our precious beautiful stones and crystals.

As we breathe in, we breathe in life.  As we breathe out, we empty and release.  As we digest, our large intestine receives nourishment, harnesses energy, and eliminates what is no longer needed.

What will you breathe in and harvest from your year and take into the season ahead?

 

Where are you out-of-balance?

 

What do you need to let go of, empty, and release?

Experience the alchemy and healing power of a small group that shares your intention and commitment to invest in this journey. If you are ready to join a safe, tight-knit community of fellow mid-life growth spurters, ready to explore deep inner work, make new friends, and cultivate new intentional habits and practices, then this is the garden for you.

Truly Human Notice

I offer a limited number of sponsorships each year for

LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and those facing Financial Hardship 

to receive my offerings free of charge or at a discounted rate.

I know that the price of coaching can be inaccessible to those who need it most.

I conscoiusly balance the need to take care of myself (what I charge) 

with offering what I believe in to those in my community (what I can give away).

For I am grateful for each client who can pay the full rate,  

as then I am better able to reserve capacity for those who cannot.

Please reach out to me to discuss options.

What other Mid-Life Growth
Spurters are Saying?

"The sessions were a catalyst for real change in my life, with results that are undeniable. Jen’s guidance and perception are instrumental in providing the focus and clarity to define what my intentions are, to set them, and move towards them. The speed at which they begin to come to me are nothing less than astonishing. Working with Jen has been one of the best things I’ve done for myself and I recommend working with her completely."  (~Steph)

  • What is the pricing for the program
    Registration will close on June 19, 2024 at 11:59P EST. Pricing is as follows: $750 - if paid via Zelle $775 - if paid via Venmo/Paypal
  • How many participants do you expect to be in your program?
    We will be limiting our program to no more than 24 riders. Our monthly ride groups will be at most 12 riders per group and organized based on rider skill and fitness ability. It is important to us to ensure all riders feel safe and encouraged while stretching their limits.
  • What skill and fitness level must I have to participate in the program?
    You have some experience riding trails with roots and rocks, and can ride continuously for 90+ minutes.
  • What if I have never raced before?
    This program is designed to prepare you for completing a big event whether that is a specific race like the Transylvania Epic MTB Stage Race or a big adventure with your friends in the mountains.
  • When and where will the monthly group rides take place?
    When: We will be targeting Saturdays with a rain date on Sunday (of the same weekend). Where: We will start with rides in Patapsco, and, based on the group's abilities, progress to the Frederick Watershed/Gambrill and Michaux.
  • How will the group rides be organized?
    Group rides will have a 12-person maximum and be split into smaller groups based on skill/fitness level. It is important to us to ensure all riders feel safe and encouraged while stretching their limits.
  • Tell me more about the Learning Seminars.
    We will host five specific learning seminars with local-area experts. These sessions will take place on Sundays at Patapsco Bikes in Elkridge and will be recorded for those who cannot attend in person. Topics we are targeting are bike maintenance, mobility/injury prevention, nutrition, mindfulness/self-care, and preparing for your event.
  • What's included in the Rothrock Training Camp weekend?
    We will be leading 3 curated rides that traverse sections of the TSE stage race course. We will have a late afternoon/early evening "happy hour" ride on Friday. Saturday and Sunday, we will cover more terrain and provide additional options for those needing to depart early. You will be responsible for food and lodging. For those interested in #camplife, we will stay at the Seven Mountains Campground as our base camp for the weekend (1 mile from the TSE camp). Seven Mountains provides many camping options, from rustic to full amenities. We will provide more information for those who are interested.
  • Tell me about the Training Plan.
    The 21-week cycling training plan will prepare you for the Transylvania Epic 3 or 5-day stage race event (or your next big challenge) and is intended to start on January 1, 2024. The plan will be periodized into five phases and will include weekly target workouts and goals that you progress toward your May event. You will select from two available plans based on your specific goals and life management parameters: Our medium-volume plan is designed to prepare you for the TSE 3-day event or medium-length endurance event. You can dedicate approximately 8-11 hours per week on the bike. Our high-volume plan is designed to prepare you for the TSE 5-day or longer endurance event. You can dedicate approximately 10-14+ hours per week to the bike. The training plans will have similar goals and workouts, creating opportunities for group members to train together outside of our regular monthly rides. If you want to customize your plan and/or want regular 1:1 feedback throughout the program, please contact us to discuss a VIP coaching option right for you.
  • Have a question that is not listed here...
    Please send your question to jentillhuman@gmail.com or attend our Webinar Overview on Monday, December 4th at 7:00P ET.
  • Resources from our December 4th Webinar Call
    Link to the recorded Webinar Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dXl92q4nXYAqU8cuQ2ONbAi50TewaCZp/view?usp=sharing Webinar Presentation: What were the themes we heard were most important from our Webinar guests: Questions we received: How quickly does the TSE sell-out? Generally if you commit before April, you will be ok. What kind of mountain bike do I need? We recommend a full suspension or hardtail in good working order. (This person will likely ride a 2.5" tire hard tail and we think she'll do well) When are the group rides? We will target Saturdays with Sunday as a backup plan due to the weather. We can make minor adjustments as needed based on changing weather conditions. Does the TSE have sweepers? Do I need to worry about stage cut-off's? TSE focuses on safety and will have sweepers on course. They also have volunteers pre-ride the course the morning of the race to ensure course markings are good-to-go. And their stage maximums are very generous!
