Welcome to Your Benshen Membership
We’re so glad you’re here. This membership was created as a space for women to return to their brilliance, their radiance, and their power—together. Here’s how to get started and make the most of your experience.
Step 1: Explore Your Membership Hub
Inside your hub, you’ll find:
Monthly Meditation Practice → Center yourself with practices aligned to our seasonal theme. Every month, we pick a practice to do together daily, whether you join live or catch the replay.
Workshops → Join Desirée each month to dive deeper into the seasonal themes, practices, and more
Library → Access past recordings, resources, and practices anytime.
Step 2: Join Live Sessions or Catch The Replay
Each month includes:
Morning Meditations (livestream) at 7:30am EST to start your day aligned.
At the heart of this membership is our daily meditation practice, which lasts about 30 minutes total - a few moments to set an intention, a short warm up, a short and sweet 3 minute practice, a longer 11 minute meditation, and then finishes with a daily prompt for reflection.
Make sure to review the pinned section to see what the practices are for the month.
If you can’t join LIVE, we save each morning for replay so you can practice at your own time/leisure. We have people joining us from all over the world!

BENSHEN is about initiation into your own power. The practices, teachings, and community are here to guide you into deeper clarity, beauty, and freedom. Trust that you’ll receive exactly what you need.
FAQS
How Does the Membership / Access to the Content Work Each Month/Season?
Each month, we choose one meditation practice to become our anchor. Together, we commit to it daily—Monday through Friday—through our live morning sessions (if you can’t make it live, the replay is posted after). Over the course of the month, this rhythm allows you to truly embody the practice and feel its transformation.
To keep things simple and spacious, only the meditations of that month’s replays will remain available at a time. This way, the practice feels alive and immediate—an invitation to stay present with what’s unfolding now.
Because our journey moves in seasonal arcs, each lasting 2–3 months, the library will be refreshed as we enter a new cycle. At the close of each season, the past content will be cleared to create a fresh slate—a new beginning aligned with the energy of what’s next. We will cycle back and revisit themes again and again, going deeper each time and learning new things about ourselves as we continue to unpack layers within each theme.
What Happens if I Join at the Middle of the Month?
If you join at the middle of the month, here is what we suggest:
First of all, welcome! Showing up anytime is powerful and impactful. We suggest starting with us at the beginning of the month however any practice of any kind and starting whenever you are ready is just as powerful. Why? Because showing up for yourself in whatever capacity is the most important thing.

Join us when you’re ready for our daily livestreams in the morning Monday-Friday at 7:30am EST or catch the replay on your own time!
Momentum is key, so whenever you join us is the perfect time to start something new. Remember, it’s not just about the practice but most importantly it’s the decision you have made to take a few minutes of your day to show up for yourself that creates powerful transformation and momentum in your life.
