Women circles are intentional gatherings of women purposefully focused on connection, community, active listening, speaking up and being heard. It is a judgment-free and interruption-free zone where women can share openly, relate to others and be nourished by the support other women's presence offer.

Rituals are a bridge to pass from the mundane to the sacred. Throughout history we have used them to build families & community, to mark transitions & important events in our lives. And to create and sustain identity. We will use this powerful tool to anchor our intention as a group and as individuals. The subconscious mind communicates with symbols, pictures, colors and feelings. Rituals are one of the most effective ways to connect with the deep layers of the brain to anchor shifts in our lives.

Yin Flow is a combination of movement inspired from Yin Yoga and S factor (as seen on Netflix documentary Rise Up Strip Down) to gently awaken and open the body. Targeting muscles, joints and fascia and tapping into the primal feminine energy of the women’s body. Offering a soft structure in which participants have the freedom to flow guided by their own personal movement.

Breathwork is using deep connected breathing to drop the cortical brain where the Ego defenses are released and the journey unfolds in a variety of magical ways. Old patterns of dysfunction may be brought to the surface. Addictions are sometimes transformed during this process, and stuck feelings are usually released. The journey is aided by chakra-attuned music to embark on a self-healing and discovery journey.
