Hidden GEMS

Hidden Gems is a research-informed, highly experiential intervention that blends the classic Johari Window model with contemporary women’s-wellness practices. By illuminating the “known” and “unknown” facets of self through story circle and mindful inquiry, and embodied exercises, participants reclaim parts of their identity that have been put down and step into an integrated, joy-filled wholeness.

Why the is the design of this process unique?

Hidden Gems prompts — that allow participants to open one of the four panes Open, Blind, Hidden, Unknown—offer a clear, compassionate map for self-discovery. Hidden Gems™ adapts this map to address the unique social expectations, inherited beliefs, and instinctual wisdom of women today. Each pane becomes a gateway:

  • Open (Shared Brilliance) – Celebrate strengths already visible, anchor confidence.

  • Blind (Reflected Radiance) – Unearth feedback from the wisdom of a supportive circle; dissolve the anxiety surrounding self-discovery.

  • Hidden (Private Treasure) – Safely reveal stories, desires, and gifts long held back, experience liberation.

  • Unknown (Untapped Magic) – Engage somatic, deep listening and creative practices to surface latent potential.
