WHAT PEOPLE SAY

I loved the women's wellness retreat. Anna held the space beautifully, alongside other amazing practitioners. I felt supported through healing practices, and deeply connected to myself and the other women in the circle. Thank you for creating such a safe space, I'm sure I'll feel the ripples of this day for a long time."

(Women's Wellness Retreat)

Next Wednesday (23rd July) welcomes another monthly Women’s Circle here at Shala ⭕️

These circles are a sacred and special place to share and be seen…
Or to simply sit in the presence of other women.

The spaces we hold are an invitation to pause, reflect and to check in…

Alongside the sharing circles, guided exercises and rituals, there is also time for tea and a chat.

If you’d like to join us, head to the link in our bio to book your space…

“Belonging is the innate human desire to be part of something larger than us. Because this yearning is so primal, we often try to acquire it by fitting in, by acting like everyone else.”
@brenebrown

We are here to remind you that you are here to be you…
You are special, unique, perfect and whole.
You are enough as you are.

Part of our mission is to help women come home to this truth.

There is nothing you need to do or be.
You already belong.

I am in awe of the power of Women’s Circle to draw women from diverse backgrounds together…

The closing of our Women’s Circle Training in the wild of the @kneppwilding @theyogagardenuk rewilding project was phenomenal this weekend…

One of greatest gifts that a supportively held circle container can offer is a softening of the power relations that can exist in many relationships….

When we learn how to create containers with care…

Then everyone’s voice can be equal…

And with an increased sense of safety for some women…then the deepest stories can begin to surface and be heard in community. What catharsis that can be…

The added element of being in touch with the wild…can enhance this rewilding of self…we ease up in the roles we play and feel more comfortable to take the masks off…

With indigenous wisdom around circle and authentic Cacao ceremony from Ana Marcela Wakeham’s Mexican heritage…
@embodyingthesacredcacaoritual

Stepping into natural environments where wild animals roam - large packs of horses, deer, wild boar, brooding cattle with their young up close…a reminder of nature’s power…though we try to control her in so many ways…

Living in times that can send us off balance…

Circle is a way to come back to ourselves…and feel our humanity in connection to others…

Thank you to the brilliant women who joined - the potential of your circles is immense 💫

-

If you’d like to join us for this special Women’s Circle Training in the wild - we’ll be returning next year to @theyogagardenuk from 12-15 June ‘26.

Being a teacher & holding transformative sharing circles require different qualities….

=

If we have a teaching background, we are used to holding space…
We are used to the sense of leadership that teaching requires…
Maybe we stand at the front of the room – while others listen to us.
Maybe we are used to being the ‘authority’ in the room..

However if we want to create circle spaces…

💫 Holding circle spaces have a very different feel…

Sitting in a circle offers an innately egalitarian feel… everyone is equal.

While it’s important that we as facilitators frame the space and set up a strong container for the sharing…
Ultimately a skilled circle facilitator sits back…

If you’d like to deepen your facilitation skills to become the powerful circle holder you know you can be…
As well as experiencing a journey of deep self discovery and sisterhood…
You’re welcome to join us for our accredited Women’s Circle Training 💫

It always means a lot to receive feedback like this…

We are honoured to be able to offer 1:1 breathwork sessions and circles to the women in our local community…

But did you know that we also hold breathwork sessions online…with wonderful clients in Portugal to Glasgow…

And we’re also expanding our women’s circle training to various locations across the UK..

Solstice celebrations💫

Feeling the expansive, heart warming of gathering together with our community this weekend…

Curating the Wellness Tent at the Power of Women Festival was epic..

And it encapsulated what ‘Wellness’ is for me…

A whole range of holistic experiences that support us to rebalance, heal and thrive…

And yet no woman or man is an island…

Our words…energy…presence affect others…and when we take time for ourselves…that ripples out to those around us..

Wellness is individual, yet it’s also collective…

So for me wellness is also about diversity…it’s connecting with others we may not meet otherwise…and finding that we have things in common we may not have imagined..

We are all human after all 💫

Thank you to the brilliant Power of Women Festival for your incredible work over 10 years & for the wellness collaborations we have shared - we are sorry to see you close this year 🤍 your work lives on in all of us who believe in the power of women..

Thank you to collaborators in the wellness area this weekend for your brilliant sessions..

There is something about going deep into the wild in nature…

That can connect us so deeply to ourselves…and others…

Our Women’s Circle Training this weekend was held beautifully by the spacious rewilding of the pioneering @kneppwilding project and the idyllic yurts @theyogagardenuk

Flocks of enormous cranes flying overhead like a prehistoric scene…
Animals freely roaming with their calves…
The freedom and protection of the wild that is so inspiring…

And the unified sisterhood of a diverse group of women who were called here to step into circle…to connect, share and move into a deep dive of self discovery…

A place to share space holding skills and a way to hold circle in our communities that is rooted in ethical practice, deep respect with an epic toolkit of ritual, embodiment, holistic practice and whole range of techniques designed to support in developing your unique circle offering…and drawing circle into current offerings or transformative retreats..

Yet mostly a remembering that Circle is in our DNA…before we sat in straight lines listening to a leader…we sat in circles…they are innately egalitarian…and so nourishing and needed in our communities…

What a weekend 💫

So if you’re a nature lover and interested in joining our Women’s Circle Training…this could be the one 🌳

We’ll be returning to @theyogagardenuk in 2026 for this into the wild retreat style experience…
🌺12-15 June
🦋Super early bird available when you book before 31 Aug

Great to have @astro_dejavu and @embodied_practices offering sessions around Astrology, Somatics and Cacao on this training too.

One of the ways we hold mamas here at Shala is through the Mother Blessing…

This rite of passage is a fun and joyful experience that celebrates pregnancy…
As well as being beautiful opportunity for loved ones to come together in circle to honour the mother.

During pregnancy there can be lots of emphasis on the baby (which is a wonderful thing)…
The Mother Blessing offers a chance to focus on and celebrate YOU as the amazing woman who has grown this little life.

Allow yourself to feel the love, support and encouragement from your closest female friends/family members as they join together, as your village, to support you in the final weeks of pregnancy and into the early days with your little one.
This also allows the space for you to ask for what you’d like to receive in the postpartum period and to share any concerns you have and feel supported.

You’ll come away with a sense of deep relaxation to soothe you in the days/weeks before birth, enabling a smooth and empowered transition to motherhood.

The Divine Feminine Archetypes are expressions of each of us as women…they are pathways in which we can witness ourselves, guiding us to acknowledge which types of energy or archetype we may be living in at present.

With an understanding of these Feminine Archetypes, we are able to call upon different facets of ourselves which may be needed in different seasons and situations in life.

The third of the Archetypes is The Wise Woman, also known as The Crone or Sage; she is the wise old grandmother, the root of your intuition, the part of you that knows the truth…
She follows her heart and soul because she trusts herself…
She can see patterns and connections that others cannot…
And she can be called upon when we need answers and direction in life…
Because we have all the answers we need within us.

Do you feel you need to trust yourself more?

Circle is a practice…alittle like going to yoga…

Even though we know it’s good for us…it’s not always easy..in the same way some yoga poses may challenge us (yet ultimately we know they’re good for us)….so circle may mirror back to us our struggles, our challenges or our blocks at times…

And so here is the opportunity…

to see what comes through in a stream of consciousness…

and perhaps have the opportunity to transcend some of what may hold us back…

In the spirit of community…camaraderie…where other women hear where you are and offer deep listening and support…

That’s the magic 💫

I believe in the power of deep listening…

Taking the time to step back from our own agenda…

And meet another person heart to heart…stepping back from the roles and masks we wear…

And how does it feel when we receive this…often it can feel like a medicine we have been craving…but didn’t know we were missing…

And this is circle…

Deep listening…feeling heard…with no judgement or evaluation…

Stepping back from the dynamics of the everyday….

To a pure place of humanity and connection…

That can ripple out into our everyday lives…

HELD
Monthly Women’s Circle
21st May
6pm - 7.30pm

Join us tomorrow evening for our monthly HELD circle…

A place to come monthly to check in with how you are, share in a warm circle and be guided through some nourishing practices and rituals…
To feel seen, heard and held in your wholeness…

💫This month’s circle is infused with Beltane wisdom….
Beltane is a ceremony of fire and a time to celebrate nature at its peak…
Honouring the abundance of nature blossoming all around us….
And focusing our attention on what we wish to call in at this time of fullness.

We have a warm group forming - and you’re so welcome…

Here’s your spot..

Our first Women’s Circle Training completed this weekend 💫 What an epic journey with these brilliant women..

When the seed of this idea arrived 1.5 years ago…I knew it was my mission to create…

It seemed a mountain to climb and took deep hibernation through winter..also a letting go of other things…

And here we are 💫

I feel a huge sense of purpose and passion for the circle movement that is growing…and the vision of these new circle facilitators…so diverse and unique is hugely inspiring…

Some feedback from our wonderful group…

⭕️’I feel so honoured to have shared a room with such a dynamic, gifted and loving group of women. That alone has been so transformative and healing for me. I feel fully equipped to begin my journey as a facilitator, but mostly I have a full heart’ - Lauren

⭕️’This was by far the best training I have attended’ - Marina

⭕️’It completely exceeded my expectations. It is clear how much work & resource you put into this. Thank you’ - Soraya

All of our students gave the course 10/10 in feedback.

-
Our trainings this summer are now fully booked.
New training dates for online/further locations will be announced in the coming weeks.

-

Thanks to @joannamiller_healing for her illuminating work around somatics, nervous system responses, the relational field and the ‘holy work’ we’re doing 🤍

So looking forward to bringing Women’s Circles to the @omyogashow at @yourallypally this autumn…

We’ll be holding 2 big circles & will be chatting about our Women’s Circle Training on our stall over the weekend…

Because as yoga teachers there is such a transformative element we can bring into our retreats and workshops when we draw in circle, ritual, shadow work and advanced facilitation skills…and I’m on a mission to support you to develop your unique circle offering💫

Be great to see you if you’re coming 🤍

Love is in the air 💕

Such an honour to be invited to bring the Shala vibes to 2 holistic hen parties this weekend…

A celebration of friendship…deep bonds…connection…and joy!

We brought a blend of sharing circles…feminine rituals…movement…cacao…and so great to collaborate with @katherineleehannah with her tarot as well…

Because there’s nothing quite like drawing together our closest circles of friends and family together at a deeply special time of life 🤍

💫If you’re planning a hen do in Margate - drop us a DM to cocreate your bespoke Holistic Hen Party X

We believe Breathwork is a revolutionary tool for women’s health…

The way we breathe can profoundly affect our perception of life…
Most of us develop holding patterns in our breath, often arising from emotional wounds, physical challenges or traumas…
All of which can hold you back from becoming who you are truly meant to be…
And the world deserves to witness you at your fullness…

If you are ready to move beyond limitations and truly bloom into your self…

It’s true that women continue to fill us with awe and inspiration…
And also hope for the future…
A future we are shaping and building when we gather together…

💫Here are some kinds words shared by one of the women who made this first weekend so incredible…

When we move through Liminal Space 💫

When we are transitioning between one identity to another…we may find ourselves moving through liminal space..

Like stepping back from a career to make space for something new….

Or becoming a parent for the first time…where we may feel aspects of our old self dissolving…and we’re unsure what the next phase of parenthood will look/feel like…

Or when we step into the liminal space of grief..or illness…where we sense we have been through something huge…and we feel our whole self recalibrating…

The covid years had very much a liminal quality..

Liminal space can feel lonely at times…we can feel out of our comfort zone…and desperate to reach the other side…

And yet…

The incredible stories of women I have heard at Shala and my own experience of liminal space has been that there is so much wisdom, discernment and insight that can come from these places…

We may ask ourselves…
What’s most important to me..
Who do I really want to be spending time with…
What am I ready to let go or step back from…

Huge positive shifts can come from the invitation to step back from the patterns we have been in…as we’re asked to consider different ways of approaching life….

So if you’re moving through liminal space at present..

Big Love & I hope the seeds of positive shifts come your way X

💫

Much of what we offer at Shala has its roots in ways of supporting through the transitions we may move through in our lives..

Beltane blessings 🌼
Today marks the peak of the Spring season and is such a vibrant, lush and radiant time of year…

These points on the Wheel of the Year offer us moments to pause and reflect…
And Beltane is a beautiful opportunity to notice what is blossoming within your life… and what perhaps needs a little more tending before it can fully bloom.

Traditionally the fires within the hearth of homes were extinguished at Beltane and a new one was lit from the embers of the village fire to signify the importance of community…

Shala is all about the power of community…
To bring together like-minded women in sisterhood…
To help you ignite that fire within…
To help you bloom…

I was asked this the other day by a massage therapist I saw....

Great question...

💫What is a women’s circle?
A Women’s Circle is a supportive environment where women can gather to share experience, and feel that others have listened deeply to what they have to share.
They are a place for self enquiry, growth and reflection, and foster a deep sense of community.

💫And the reason you haven’t been to one (…yet)?
In more recent times, the circle has been broken down by patriarchal and religious forces of dominant cultures. In our modern societies, many women feel isolated or lonely…

But this is shifting…
And Shala is at the forefront of this compassionate movement for change.

In the way that yoga has spiralled into so many people’s lives over the last 15 years… we believe circle is likely to do the same.

If you want to be part of this too…
You can join us at Held, our monthly women’s circle in Margate…

Or if perhaps facilitating your own circles is calling to you so deeply…
Then our Women’s Circle Training might be perfect for you.

“A circle of women may just be the most powerful force known to humanity.
If you find one, for the love of all that is good unholy, dive in.
Let yourself rise fierce and love gentle.”

In our monthly circle last night the vibe..was..strong…

Synchronicities, parallels of experience, the illuminating mirror that we hold up for each other..

And the fun and laughter too…

We delved into the balance of feminine and masculine energetics in our lives…

The Masculine of the doing…the achieving…the striving…the getting sh💫t done…the leaning in..

The Feminine of the being..the rest…the flow…the recouperation…the leaning back…

And finding our own unique balance of the two…

💫Where in your life are the masculine energetics leading?

💫Where are the feminine energetics showing up?

💫Roughly what’s your default ratio of masculine/feminine (e.g when my masculine gets the bit between its teeth with creating, I balance it out with calming yogic practices…)

💫Moving forward - what areas of your life could benefit from more masculine or more feminine?

All an exploration…with no right answers…and no advice…how refreshing that can be…

You are the oracle of your own experience after all🤍

And a close group of women who offer each other deep listening and connection through the joys..and the challenges…is a precious thing 💫

💫 We are truly riding high after the first weekend of our Women’s Circle Training…

More than ever, we are filled with such a deep sense of passion and purpose towards sharing this work…
The work of supporting inspiring women who are as dedicated and devoted to facilitating women circles as we are.

It is an honour to be gathered in space with such exceptional women and we can’t wait to welcome more of you at our next training at @theyogagardenretreats in June.

At the height of summer, we will be surrounded by Mother Nature at her fullest…
Within lush wildflowers meadows and enveloped by the warmth of the sun, as well as the warmth from each other.

Part of the philosophy we share in the training is the importance of our connection to nature…
Come and embody this in a stunning yurt in the Sussex countryside.

There is still time to join us and we would love nothing more than to welcome and guide you on your journey of facilitating your own powerful women’s circles.

As we shared last week, ‘Closing the Bones’ is a powerful ceremony and treatment to honour a rite of passage in a woman’s life.

Whether you are…
- A new mama
- A mama of older children
- A woman entering perimenopause or menopause
- A girl having first period (menarche)
- A woman moving through a transitional time
…This ceremony can support and hold you.

We carry so many emotions within our bodies… especially in our womb space where, as women, so much happens during the entirety of our lives.

This ceremony offers a unique space that allows for deep processing and profound healing…
And it is more than just physical work… it is deeply energetic work and fulfils the function of a Rite of Passage, something we often lack in our Western society.

If you have any questions about what this beautiful ceremony and treatment can offer you, get in touch or visit our website…

I am in awe of the power of women when we share our authenticity and truth from the heart…

The start of our Women’s Circle Training this weekend was moving…ecstatic…bonding…inspiring…

And I am filled with deep purpose around the importance of circle and it’s power in rippling out to our communities through the exceptional women who are stepping into becoming circle facilitators….

The containers that we create as space holders need to be infused with deep care…within circle…deep listening…ethical practice…an awareness of offering containment and non judgement…and stepping back from a desire to control outcomes are all central…and that all begins before our circles commence…

Alongside the fun and creativity of blending ritual, holistic practices and choosing themes….and blending expansive embodiment practices with deep stillness.

We were joined by Ruth from @astro_dejavu for a fascinating circle around moon cycles and astrology with each woman having her own birth chart deciphered by Ruth….so illuminating all round…

There is a joy to circle…
A camaraderie…a bonding that travels deep down…
And self enquiry….

She will sometimes mirror back to us our shadows….and that can be the greatest gift that helps us transmute them into the light….

To hear the stories of other’s lives is such a deep privilege…
And circle is a movement that is rising…

If you’re feeling the call…join us 💫

Closing the Bones…
A deeply nurturing treatment and ceremony that honours and closes a period of time in a woman’s life.

Traditionally it is offered to new mamas to help her ‘close’ after giving birth and find her own self and centre again…

However this can be so powerful at many other times of life too…

This is more than just physical work…
It it deeply energetic and fulfils the function of a ‘Rite of Passage’…
Something we often lack in our Western society.

Closing the Bones is a unique space that allows for deep processing and transformation…
All held and guided by Anna who has learned this ancient wisdom through the lineage of Rocío Alarcón from Ecuador.

Monthly Women’s Circle (Held)
Tonight @ 6-7.30pm

On the days before our monthly women’s circle…

I like to connect in with a theme that feels resonant at this time…

The energy of Spring can bring a real momentum as we transition out of the introspection of winter..

As we’ve just moved past the Spring Equinox and Ostara…this will be part of our theme for this month…

The balance of light and dark in nature…
And in ourselves…
Where are we feeling balanced and where feels unbalanced…

Perhaps the awakening of creative sparks..where are you feeling to channel your energy this month?

And like the huge array of seedlings coming through the Earth…are there any that need to be thinned in your world…where do your priorities lie…

Our monthly circle is a blend of:
- Sharing circles
- Yogic practices that help regulate our nervous systems - like meditation/yoga nidra/breath
- Cyclical wisdom
- Creativity

This is a chance to take space for yourself on a monthly basis to check in with where you are in a warm circle of women.

And all of you is welcome 💫

Your space..
shalawomen.co.uk/event-details/held-monthly-womens-circle-2

Alongside a deep sense of self sovereignty…

To feel growth and expansion…

Amongst deep presence…

This is circle…

And all of you is welcome…

Spring Awakening….

As Spring pours in with the blossom and sunshine…

What’s she stirring in you 🌱

I’ve been planting trees out in the Shala garden…

Hands in the earth - ritual in itself…

If you’ve come to a solstice circle here, you may remember a beautiful huge fig tree that stood resplendent in the corner…

Last year, a neighbour needed to cut her down…

And I found myself grieving her 🌳

Yet it wasn’t just that one tree…the grief came from the amount of natural land that is being built on at a relentless pace…

As field after field transitions to concrete we are losing our connection with nature…and something deep down knows this is the wrong way to go…

Yet I had a clear visualisation in a beautiful native plant ceremony with Nadean Foster at Shala shortly afterwards…

It was to plant many trees all round our natural space of the garden…

So here we are…figs…blossoms…trees of paradise….

A way of creating our mini havens to boost local habitats and create the roots of change we want to see 🌱

The healing you do…
The time you take for you…
The care that you show yourself…
The shadow that’s tended to…
The ancestral imprints..

It extends beyond you…

The healing you gift yourself reaches to all women past and future….

Taking time to heal and reset is a deep act of self care in a modern society that asks a lot of us…

And we are here to support you…

💫

Women’s Circles have the potential to support us in collective healing…

You’re invited to our monthly circle on 26 March
& Women’s Circle Trainings to support in creating these nourishing environments for your community..

Celebrating menarche in circle…

Our menarche….or first period…is a beautiful part of our slow transition to womanhood as a girl….

And this part of the transition has sometimes been overlooked with terms such as ‘the curse’ in previous generations….

Thankfully the paradigm is shifting here…

As girls and women discover the deeply empowering work around the seasons of the menstrual cycle…

And connect with the POWER we hold in our bodies…

The power of the potential to grow life within us…

The power of our ability to sync with the moon…and other women…

It was such a joy to hold a Menarche circle for my close friend’s girl this weekend…as she moves through this transition..

We feel so grateful that our generation has had access to this knowledge - which supports greater awareness of our emotions, mood and energy levels…

It feels amazing to be able to pass this on to our girls so young…

Our circle was full of sharing around stories of childhood and the playful inner child who can stay with us as we grow into a woman…

Flower crowns…laughter…and chats to normalise this slow blossoming like a rose towards womanhood 🌹

Let’s support our girls to love and work with this cyclical power they hold within them 💫

-

If you’d like to cocreate a Menarche Party for your special girl with us - just drop us a DM.

And big thanks to the epic bodies of work from @red.school & our Margate neighbour @_maisiehill_ for this new era for girls and women.

Happy International Women’s Day 💫

To our community…

To all women worldwide…

Celebrating you for all that you are….

The courage….the holding…the joys…the challenges…the dreams…the vulnerability…the power…and the purpose…

Celebrating all the threads that make us women…

Big Love,

Shala
