‘‘If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant or weak, return to yourself, to who you are, here and now. And when you get there, you will discover yourself like a lotus flower in full bloom even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong.’’

Masuro Emoro, Secret Life of Water

As women, it can be very challenging to realise that it is possible to say yes to ourselves, and to set aside time to acknowledge, honour and tend to our needs. And make them more important than caretaking everyone else’s. As very young children we learn to conform, to suppress and to modify, in order to protect ourselves and fit into our families, school and wider community.

How the course runs

During our five weeks together I will gently guide you back to a relationship with yourself, using simple tools and techniques. Sharing in circle, visualisations, journaling exercises, creative rituals and art practices. We will explore elements of our past selves, which inform how we are today, examine ourselves in the present day, and also feel into what we would like to manifest in our futures.   We also spend time discussing how our connection to our menstrual cycles have and do affect us, and how we can use that connection to empower and deepen our understanding of ourselves and our purpose.

What I observe, time after time, is the deep wisdom that is tapped, and a beautiful weaving of experiences and truths that create magic. When women come together consciously for transformation, there is a tangible alchemy at play, which magnifies the work of the individual and places it in the collective web of deep change.

The positive transformation that occurs when we, as women reconnect to ourselves and each other, is not just on the personal level. The collective also benefits as the ripples move outwards. So families, loved ones, friends and the wider community benefit from this personal journey.

These are closed groups with limited spaces, to create a safe, held environment and a container of trust and support.
