You are a visionary.

Highly-sensing, intuitive.


Maybe a leader, artist, educator, therapist, parent, healer, change-maker.
Someone growing and giving in equal measure.


If you are reading these words, you feel a core part of yourself slipping away to over-saturation, distraction, task-switching, fast pace, screen glare, overwhelm, and too muchness. 

The fracture feels like dying. 


"I can't do it. What is wrong with me?" 
 

Molly Caro May Story Mammal_edited.jpg

Everything is right about you!

You are noticing.

You are sensual.

Something is amiss.

We weren't born to be robots. 

You are tracking correctly. 

​

That means...

 

YOU ARE READY.

​For what?

 

Textured Sides (1).png

To break the shared cycle.

To take back your attention. 

Inside and out. 

Like the human mammal you are.

 

THAT IS THE REMEDY FOR THESE TIMES. 

​

​

​There is NO "return" to the old ways. 

​Read that again. 

We are not going back, friends.

MollyCaroMayRetreat5

Yes, we thank and gather the earthen past.

Then we bring it with us forward. 

​

But what is on tap is an entirely fresh becoming. 

​

We are co-creating a new embodiment.

​

A more vital relationship to attention + body because of our modern era.

​

Right now. 

(Note: It doesn't mean ditching your devices or turning away from AI.)

​

Can you feel it? 

I see you standing at the opening.

​Awaken Your Modern Mammal is for you if... 

​​

  • ​You "know better" and the patterns are hard to shift. 

  • You often feel overcome, overwhelmed, over-doing.

  • Feeing alive and vital is high priority for you.

  • You noticed your attention atrophying so you vacillate between hard rules and collapse/surrender because "I guess this is just how it is now."  

  • Nature matters to you. â€‹

  • Your animal body is calling. 

  • You want to be unstuck from your stuck story.

  • You would like to co-captain with your nervous system instead of being at the whim of it.

  • You are interested in your whole mythic human self as opposed to psychological pathology. 

  • You are a mystic (even if you don't know it yet). 

  • You want to be a responsible digital and communal citizen in our global world.  

  • ​You tend to be ahead of the curve. 

  • You know that processing in your own silo is a dead end. 

  • You are ready to grow your capacity to feel the crush modernity and be a more-than-okay, vibrating human.

​​This course is about possibility. 

Ideas and theory only go so far. 
Rules and spreadsheets and habit lists backfire.
If we engage attention through physiology, tactile pleasure & creatrix energy, the world changes.
Instead of focus on eliminating the sugar/"problem"... 
...we add all the leafy greens. 

The system and soul shift.

3 orientations about Awaken Your Modern Mammal:

1) It's about way more than tech. It's about waking up from our collective slumber and the "walking dead" energy we have postured as modern humans. It’s about the speed, velocity, and volume of information we aren't yet adapted to receive and the way our relational field and nervous system set points have shifted. Tech is part of the situation along with the other isms: capitalism and colonialism. You will renegotiate your relationship with screens (your way) during this course; more importantly, you will turn toward yourself differently

​

2) It isn't anti-tech, nor is it pro-tech. It's about getting sober and grounded about its role in your life because "it" is here to stay. It's developing discernment about what you want and what you don't want. Nothing prescriptive. We celebrate each participant's discovery and alignment to their individual values. 

​

​3) It's for female bodies + any other gender body comfortable being in a space full of woman-identified people. Everyone is welcome and please know that the conversation will skew in the direction of who shows up. The female body (and nervous system) is hyper-woven with the earth body. We tend to track the collective in our bodies. That means we have historically been (it could be changing) more sensitive and sensing to what is happening around us. Embodiment is a set-point for a female body and, for that reason, it can also feel precarious, dangerous and wildly powerful. It is increasingly critical for female bodies to be rooted to the soil, to each other, to the internal center. For the greater good. All humans are mammals and females have an additional biological layer (even separate from motherhood) that makes them especially mammalian. ​*Because "embodiment" has also been commodified in social media, please also know that, in my space, embodiment doesn't look one way. It isn't performative. It doesn't require a type of body, a sexy dance move, or a certain vibe. It is self-sourced.

This course is an organic, living, breathing experience.

​

I create a map and adjust in real time based on our group. 

 

How do we "do" it? 

​

It is not enough to simply name "The Attention Crisis."

​

You will not find quick hacks, or tips here.

​

Nor is it a digital detox. 


Those don't stick.

We move the actual needle through engaging:

THE BODY

nervous system 

​+

THE STORY

mytho-poetics

​

​

within the container of

THE RELATIONAL FIELD

We grow our attention latitude together.

​

You become a steward of your own self alongside others who are doing the same.

​

A shared revolution.

​

The ripple effect is real.

It works! 

When you awaken your Modern Mammal...

 

  • You occupy the world unapologetically with your unique flair and flavor.

  • You become clear on your Yes and your No. Your discernment is sharp! 

  • You restore instinct and preference. 

  • Coherence and co-regulation become felt-sense experiences not ideas.

  • Your tech is an accomplice and tool; it no longer glues you, repels you, or drains you. 

  • You build resilience with your particular physiology: fight/flight/freeze/fawn responses. 

  • You become an "I" and a "We" and live your life accordingly. 

  • Nature is a key relation in your life and you take care of it.

  • You stabilize your dopamine and underlying anxiety.  Hooray! 

  • Your body is your #1 ally. 

  • You become "all the feelings" and move between them easily. 

  • You become magnetic. 

  • People notice that you are HERE and not distracted. ​

  • The future generations will thank you for being one of the humans who heard the attention call, answered it, and supported us all into a new embodiment.

​​I want to get REAL with you.

​

If you choose to ignore the call to attention...

you will miss this once-in-an-era opportunity. 

 

We are living in a potent transition moment. 

You are alive for it, whether you like it or not.  

Hop on the front of the wave. 

​

In five years, people will be shocked that we didn't attend to our attention sooner. Bring others with you. 

Let's usher in our modern mammal selves together. 

Doing so will light up your life. 

It will light up all of LIFE. ​​

Your course was a gift, an invitation, an opening, a breaking, a rebuilding.  It felt intimate with real connections in a virtual world.  Second, your structure accounts for most everyone on the extrovert to introvert scale. It felt like there is space and time for everyone to share/speak/voice. Thank you!

K. Maunz

I have been 7 years stuck, unable to move or change these stories. What a gift you have, and that you are transferring to all of us. You have cracked something open in me and simultaneously taught me how to begin healing it. Thank you! I feel inspired and stronger than I have felt in years. You are Magic as a teacher. 

S. Cincinnati

Your workshops are among the most effective group therapy sessions I've been a part of. Each time, I've emerged that much closer to my Truth. We're talking the elusive truth (Who am I? What moves me? What does this actually *feel* like in my body?) and that is BIG. You are the real deal, Molly. THANK YOU.

J. Coyne

I have been actively healing throughout this course. What I have learned about the nervous system and my own healing + Molly’s wisdom and sensitivity and ability to guide and teach + the courageously beautiful stories and observations that people have shared + the astounding presence and energy within this container - - it has all come together in this pieces-locking-together-Matrix-moment for me.

When

​​​Fall 2026 Stay tuned!

*Recordings sent to those who cannot attend live 

​

 

Format

​

  • 6 live Zoom workshops with Molly on each Wed @ 12pm MT (1.5 hours) 

  • ​6 live Q&As with Molly (1 hour)​ on each Monday, rotating every other week, 10am MT or 6pm 

  • Real Time sharing and feedback

  • Private Online Community Forum (NOT Facebook)

Transparency Always: You will have 14 weeks (until July 22) to complete this 6 week course. Why? I believe in pressure as a tool for internal and external change. It's a boundary. It isn't loosey-goosey. It ignites. People are more likely to dive into the course and benefit from it if they know there's an end to it. I've seen that time and time again, and also in my own experience as a participant in courses. We are also fostering collective focus to create collective traction.
