• Thank you for creating this space for us to reconnect with the parts of ourselves we had once forgotten, showing us what it means to feel the deeply rooted wounds we carry and the connection we share through sisterhood @manoukdebijl 🤲🏼🌀🤍

Holding each other through the waves of emotions- the grief, the happiness, the gratitude, the pain, the layers we shed, the good girl and the dark feminine.. how I wish I could convey this feeling through the screen. But maybe that’s what made it even more special, the fact that it’s impossible to do so, because we shared and felt something so sacred in that moment, something we will carry within us for the rest of our lives.

There is so much we carry through a year. Experiences we have barely had time to feel. Releases still moving through us. Desires waiting for a little space to be heard. As we approach Samhain, I feel the invitation to pause. To honour the endings in our lives and the people who came before us. To listen to what this turning of the seasons stirs within our own bodies. While the veil is thin.. drawing inward. Gathering. To make time for the parts of our lives that so easily get passed over. To remember that we can meet these transitions together. I would love to welcome you into circle & ceremony this Samhain. We will make our own descent within.

Gathering in circles is one of the oldest forms of human connection. Long before classrooms, boardrooms and endless rows of chairs, we gathered in circles. Around a fire. Under the moon. Sharing food, stories, grief, celebration and the wisdom that could only be passed from one human to another. Not because it was spiritual. Not because it was something to schedule into a busy calendar. It was simply woven into everyday life.

Especially women gathered. Daughters, mothers and grandmothers came together through every season of life. To share stories. Wisdom. To honour the body. To bleed together. To grieve. To create. To celebrate. To support. To remember that no woman was ever meant to carry life alone.

Then something shifted. Society became increasingly linear, so did the way we lived. The rise of patriarchal systems and religious persecution slowly pulled us away from the circle. Many of the rituals that once connected women to their bodies, to the Earth and to one another became something to fear, suppress or forget.

We learned to keep going.
To hold it together.
To process alone.
To believe that asking for support was weakness.

Yet .. the body remembers.

It remembers what it feels like to be deeply witnessed. To cry without being interrupted. To rage without being silenced. To laugh until your belly hurts. To watch another woman slowly learn to love her body again after years of abandoning it. To finally take up the space she has been apologising for her entire life, while the women around her quietly whisper, “Yes. sister, stay there.. I am with you.”

This is why we gather. Not to escape life, but to return to it more whole. To remember that healing does not only happen within us. It also happens between us.

In two days we will open the circle once again in the Portuguese mountains.

One place is still waiting for a woman. 🤎

There are some journeys we take to discover something new. And.. there are others that bring us back to what we have always known. Back into our bodies. Our softness. Our wildness. Our capacity to feel, trust, rest, receive, express, play and be fully alive. For 6 days we gather with a small circle of incredible women into Somatic work, Ceremony, Breath, Sisterhood, Movement, Womb Healing, Rituals, permission and all the spaces in between. Caressed by the Portuguese mountains and healing waters.

Every woman arrives with her own story. Yet, remembering that we were never meant to walk this alone. 🌕

One of the greatest gifts my healing journey has given me is a different relationship with my body. Over the years, she has become less of something to control .. and more of someone to care for. I notice what I feed her. How I move her. Where I bring her. What I place upon her. What she absorbs through sound, touch, energies, materials, visuals. Our skin is our largest organ. She absorbs far more than we often realise, including ingredients that can interfere with our hormonal system. Learning that became another invitation to listen more deeply and to choose products that feel nourishing for both my body and the Earth. With love, instead of perfection 💗

So having @solmate.suncare alongside us during our Summer Solstice Weekend Immersion with @sacred__remembrance felt so beautifully aligned. They nourished the women and myself so yummy. Every woman was gifted their natural sunscreen, face oil, body oil and bug spray. Little companions as we spent our days barefoot, in ceremony, beneath the sun and among the trees. Simple. Natural. Handmade with so much care. For Mother Earth and our bodies. 🌺

As a little gift, my dear friend Carmen — founder of Sol Mate — has created a discount for our community, available until tomorrow, Sunday 26th July - midnight.

with code SACRED10.

May it be another small way of choosing yourself this summer. 🤍 If you decide to try it, I hope you’ll love it as much as we did.
