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."

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…

Two weeks after the first weekend of our Women’s Circle Training… we’re still on a high.

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…

There is still (limited) space to join us on our next round of training at @theyogagardenretreats in June.

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.

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 💫

-

Our next monthly circle is on Weds 21st May @ 6pm

Whether this is your first or fourth child…
Whether you’re feeling apprehensive or already confident…

💫 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 💫

⭕️Monthly Women’s Circle - 12 April

⭕️Next Women’s Circle Training = @theyogagardenuk 7/8 June & 5/6 July

“The opposite of patriarchy is not matriarchy…
It’s circle”
- Dr Bolen

Circle is at the heart of Shala…
We believe in the power of gathering women together…

At Shala house, we hold inspiring and sacred circles that offer deep connection and healing to our community…
And we also help and guide others to do the same.

Circle is a rebellion and a rising…
Do you want to be part of it? 💫

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 second of the Archetypes is The Mother; the caretaker and nurturer, she offers unconditional love, sacrifice, and devotion.
She shows up no matter what – for her family or her project, community, friends or work.
She is a divine representation of the fullness of Summer ☀️

Do you perhaps need some more ‘Mother’ energy in you right now?

-

If you’d like to deepen your understanding of the archetypes and how we can embody them - we delve deeper into this during our Women’s Circle Training ⭕️

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

Do you desire to be fully heard…

To find deep connection with others…

To find camaraderie and sisterhood…

To see others as a mirror and a guide…

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..

HELD
Monthly Women’s Circle

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
