This community space is designed for courageous people to anchor into emotional and spiritual support alongside fellow travelers on the fertility path. If you are trying to conceive, engaging Assisted Reproductive Technology, including IVF, IUI, Donor Egg + Sperm, Adoption, and more, this is for you.
I invite you to anchor into mindfulness meditation and daily practices to navigate this winding, mysterious path with
greater empowerment, grace, trust and resilience.
Creating a family isn’t for the faint of heart.
As you take the steps to become a parent, it’s vital to not only tap into the right nutrition, science and health interventions that work… but to also nurture your mind, body and spirit. To stay mindful, aligned, on purpose, and emotionally regulated every step of the way. And to remember that the most potent manifestations arise from a grounded, clear, purposeful, relaxed channel.
That’s where Fertile Ground
comes in.

_______
Walk the fertility path in alignment with your nervous system.
Mindfulness meditation and daily life practices can help you stabilize, ground and remain rooted in your vitality and true self. This group is designed to help you embrace the joys and challenges of this process with courage and skill. You’ll get to transmute the fears, doubts, and disappointments in a supportive space. And not only that, we’re here to help you open to receive your highest vision with readiness, gratitude and trust in the process.
Manifesting Your Family Vision
Thursday, May 29th
7pm-8:30pm ET
In this session, we’ll explore manifestation using meditation to imagine the dream outcome, feeling connected to this purpose and vision across our entire being, and opening the body and subconscious to receive this vision fully. This is a powerful way to stay tuned into your values and to feel empowered as you navigate a path of uncertainty.
Trusting the Body
Thursday, June 12th
7pm-8:30pm ET
How do we trust in our own body? How do we take refuge in this being that is here right now? There’s plenty of noise in this space (science, statistics, monitoring, receiving results and news, and the opinions of others). Coming home to that inner strength, intuition and knowing of our own truth - this can become a homecoming to return to along this path. This is about remembering our empowerment, vitality and strength.
Can you relate?
⚫️ Do you feel like you’ve got this, and then all of a sudden you have a medication mixup and are scrambling to get it resolved in time?
⚫️ Does it sometimes feel unbearable to receive results from your fertility clinic (you fear that you’ll be bottomed out for a few days after reading that email)?
⚫️ Are you doing all the things (medical, nutrition, holistic)? You feel empowered, but still face waves of fear and worry.
⚫️ Are you craving connection on this path? Hanging out in the fertility Facebook groups just isn’t cutting it. In this group, the intention is to come together to bear witness to each other’s truth while holding a light of hope, faith and encouragement, guided by the principles of mindfulness.
⚫️ Are you curious what it could look like to explore manifestation and mindfulness meditation techniques, as part of your holistic fertility path?
Fertile Ground is here to support your mind, body, spirit and family vision. With empowered, intentional practices, we attract the vision we most desire.
Here’s what to expect in Fertile Ground
You’ll walk away with:
✔️ANCHOR INTO AN INTENTION
In each session, we’ll anchor into one theme
✔️ GUIDED REAL-TIME MEDITATION
We’ll practice meditation together, held by the supportive container of women on this shared path.
✔️ INTEGRATION | SHARING | REFLECTION
You’ll have space to reflect on the practice and theme, and how it’s showing up in your own fertility journey. This is your space to share authentically about how it’s going, what you’re feeling and to also declare your vision and intentions for your fertility path. We respectfully hold a light for wherever you are on your journey.
✔️ QUESTION & ANSWER
Share your meditation practice reports and ask questions about the practices. This is a great opportunity for fine-tuning and deepening your practice, as well as building the practices into your daily life beyond session.
✔️ TAP INTO A NOURISHING COMMUNITY
Creating a family can be a lonely journey. In this space, we come together to witness each other with reverence and attunement, and to be witnessed in our sacred truth. Connecting and practicing together in this intentional container is truly medicinal, healing, and encouraging. Let’s keep the light shining bright, together.

Hi, I’m Jess Lipman, your Mindfulness Guide.
Like you, I too am on the fertility path, exploring ART with the hopes of starting a family with my partner, Julio.
With endometriosis, a septate uterus and a low ovarian reserve, it’s been a journey for me.
What I’ve found on this path is that keeping my spiritual practices at the center of my fertility journey is KEY to maintaining resilience, staying emotionally regulated and keeping the light of my vision alive. Hope is BLOOMING, thanks to mindfulness and spiritual support.
I’m a Mindfulness Meditation Trainer and Coach, certified in the Unified Mindfulness system (originally conceptualized by Shinzen Young), with over 15 years of meditation experience.
I’m passionate about helping people embrace their authenticity with full clarity and courage, and bringing their vision to life. I offer a holistic approach, bringing together mindfulness for resilience, parts work, attachment theory and EFT tapping.
This is an opportunity to alchemize.
I believe we are all creators, and that we each have the power to manifest our highest vision when we train our attention and heart strategically.
In support of this mission, I teach meditation to support authentic expression and manifestation, informed by psychology, epigenetics, and mindfulness meditation.
Not only that, I’ve been on my own attachment repair, addiction recovery, and healing journey for over 10 years. I know first-hand what it looks like to recreate your entire life, internally and in the material world.
Family planning is a creation / recreation process, one that is so very rooted in navigating the growth edge. This edge is where we step into a new chapter of life, claim a new vision and let go of what’s no longer serving us. Sometimes, old patterns, limiting beliefs and protective parts can step in to protect us from change, and so we meet them compassionately at this edge.
Today, I’m passionate about helping women navigate this time of creation - this initiation into parenthood - fully resourced, mindful, and inspired. May mindfulness meditation support you on your path. I see your courage, and I’m here shining a light for your vision.
The themes we explore in Fertile Ground include:
Cultivating Resilience
How do we have the capacity to be equanimous and bounce back when challenging things happen in life,
all while staying focused on our goals?
Manifest Your Family Vision
How to manifest using meditation to imagine the dream outcome, feeling connected to this purpose and vision across our entire being, and opening the body and subconscious to receive this vision fully.
Receivership
How do we remain open, hopeful and welcoming of the vision we want, without allowing the fears or blocks take over?
Holding Desire in Balance
How to let go of needing things to go a certain way. Rather, we shift our energy into trusting source, higher power, and feel held in this season. This is the path to hold desire
Navigating Uncertainty with Grace
Navigating the unknown with a quality of ease, trust, presence and heart. Meditation can help us trust, surrender to the mystery and no longer be driven by fear, craving and aversion. On a path filled with uncertainty, it’s skillful to learn how to be in right relationship with it.
Trusting Your Body
How do we trust in our own body? How do we take refuge in this being that is here right now? There’s plenty of noise in this space (science, statistics, monitoring, receiving results and news, and the opinions of others). Coming home to that inner strength, intuition and knowing of our own strength, truth - this can become a homecoming to return to along this path. This is about remembering our empowerment, vitality and strength.
What Makes Us Different
What We Are
Meditation-Centered
In this group, we practice mindfulness meditation for 15-30 minutes.
Secular Spirituality
This is not a religious space. Rather, we call upon the principles of mindfulness (derived from Buddhism) in an effort to gain relief from suffering, increase fulfillment, know yourself fully and cultivate connection.
A space for emotional regulation
I cannot give medical advice in this space. Rather, the focus of this space is to bring clarity to emotions and insights on the fertility journey, and to intentionally cultivate supportive inner resources.
Inclusive
All gender identities, race, ethnicity and walks of life are welcome in this space. If you are engaging ART, this space is designed for you.
For those who are trying to conceive
If you are actively trying to conceive, or are working on family creation, this group is for you.
What We Are Not
Mental Health Services
This is not a therapeutic program, or a substitute for therapy, but rather is a meditation space. While this is not therapy, mindfulness meditation is a great complement for mental health services.
Outcomes Not Guaranteed
Manifestation work does not guarantee specific outcomes, but is rather here to support your mind state, sense of empowerment, and emotional self-regulation.
Pregnancy Support Group
While this is a supportive space for those who are trying to conceive, this is not a pregnancy support group. This space is for those who are navigating infertility, and aims to provide a safe container for navigating loss, grief and challenges on this path. Thank you for understanding.
