PHENOMENALLY WOMAN

Wholeness. Freedom. Love.

”I am a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.”

– Maya Angelou

This is an invitation for you to feel free to be yourself and to know that you are loved and valued exactly as you are. This is a safe space where you can explore what you need in order to gather courage to step into the world as YOU, authentically, beautifully and wholly YOU. Here you will find support on your journey, wherever that journey wants to take you.

Sometimes when we speak about empowerment it can almost feel like a burden or something that we need to achieve or strive for. That you must be or become this strong, empowered and successful woman. There is nothing wrong with that, but in order to feel truly free we need to give space for all that we are, the vulnerable, shameful and scared parts too. The little you, the one inside who only wants to be seen, heard and held with love and tenderness.

This is an invitation to let go of the struggle and to settle back into yourself. To find home within YOU.

Of course we are inspired by the passionate and strong poem by Maya Angelou, Phenomenal Woman, celebrating the inner beauty in every woman beyond stereotypes and conventions.

We believe that empowerment comes from feeling comfortable in your own skin. Allowing yourself to be your own unique self unapologetically. Owning both your wildness, your softness and your everything.

So what is it that your heart whispers to you? What is it that you long for, deep within? What is it that you love more than anything?

To live this life in a woman’s body has both its gifts and its challenges. How can we tap into our innate strength and grow the courage to be ourselves fully which is what this world longs for deep down. That we birth ourselves to ourselves and share that with others. Finding our unique flavour and path.

When we do that something inside of us awakens, a joy, a sense of freedom, a feeling of being at the right place at the right time and a sense of meaning and purposefulness.

Perhaps you feel a longing, something stirring inside of you. Perhaps you feel restless or stuck. Perhaps you have tried a lot of things and still feel that something is yet to be discovered, some piece of the puzzle is still missing. Perhaps you have this dream or project that you are longing to bring forth, but you are hesitating and don’t quite know where to start.

That’s what I am here for. I am here for YOU, all of YOU. To support and challenge you to grow and flourish in any and every aspect of life.

Womb + Heart

Healing Circle

The intention for this circle is to release old stagnant energy and unprocessed emotions and to invite healing and flow and to strengthen the connection between these two incredibly important places in a woman’s body, the WOMB and the HEART, physically as well as emotionally and on an energetical level. Everything is connected and you cannot separate the one from the other. The first step towards healing is to make contact and to start listening. That in itself is healing. When we then start listening to the messages from the heart as well as the womb we can initiate change and open up for transformation. This will make for fertile soil to invite what we long for deep within.

The WOMB is our feminine center and the origin of life where souls grow into little humans but also any creation we want to bring forth. Compared to most other organs in the body the womb can be both full and empty, space and movement, opening and closing, and Yin and Yang (TCM) which makes it completely extraordinary. The womb is also a place in the body where we store feelings and experiences. Most of us have probably experienced that stress and unprocessed emotional experiences affects our menstrual cycle. It may come late, not at all or cause more cramping and pain that usual. This is, among other, things due to the strong connection between womb and heart, physically as well as energetically.

On an energetical level the womb is a portal for transformation, the place in the body where souls take physical shape and a fertile breeding ground for the heart’s longing, dreams and visions. This is the case even if the physical womb is no longer in the body or if you have stopped bleeding. In yogic philosophy the womb is part of the second chakra, Svadisthana, and is characterized by flow, movement, energy and dynamics. The element is water. It represents our sexuality and also our relationship to other people and to life as well as our emotions. We are all, in one way or the other, creative beings and a balanced second chakra enhances that creativity and allows us to experience flow and joy. We feel free to be ourselves. The second chakra is also related to spontaneity, imagination, pleasure and a joy for life. Life can be both sweet and pleasurable.

The HEART is the center for love, compassion, forgiveness and expansion. It’s the forth chakra, Anahata, in yogic philosophy and related to our ability to give and receive love. The element is air. In our world it’s easy to get stuck in the head and loose connection with the heart. We push our shoulders forward to protect our hearts because it feels vulnerable to show our hearts and show ourselves because in our hearts we find our deepest truth. The voice that sometimes whispers, sometimes is totally quiet and at other times screams for us to listen. Our breasts, arms and hands are physical extensions of our hearts. Through them we give and receive love. In TCM the heart is the place where spirit resides, but also our consciousness and it symbolizes our vitality. The heart is considered particularly important as the ”ruler” of all the other organs and it has a Yin quality. In TCM our emotions and our physical health are closely related.

Physically the HEART and the WOMB are linked together by the blood, the heart pumps the blood to the body and the womb needs blood to function. In TCM you’ll find a meridian called Bao Mai which is a direct link between the heart and the womb. This can explain how heartbreak may directly affect the womb and how feelings and unprocessed emotions can get stuck there. That this connection works and flows is important for all functions in our bodies that have to do with our reproductive system like the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, our sexuality and more, but also for our general wellbeing and vitality as women. With the womb as our living creative center in a flowing connection with the love, tenderness and wisdom in our hearts there are no limits for who we can be in the world and what we can create and contribute with.

We will meet this moment together in a circle with love, compassion and tenderness through movement, breath, stillness, ceremony and a longer deeply nourishing relaxation at the end of the session.

Let’s invite pleasure, joy, playfulness, love and tenderness. You are allowed to enjoy your life, yourself and your body!

WELCOME exactly as YOU are!

When:

Live online Saturday 27 of March at 10-13.

Sister Circles

More info coming up.

What is a Sister?

Someone you like very much. Someone who feels like family. Someone you feel close to. Someone you can trust and be yourself with. Or maybe another person you haven’t gotten to know yet.

Why Sister Circle?

Something happens when women come together. A sort of recognition and a sense of being allowed to relax and feel safe. A possibility to share experiences and nurture one another.

What do we do?

We will meet, move and relax. Share experiences with each other. Perhaps find a new friend. Sometimes there is a theme for the gathering. We may drink tea and talk, or sit together in silence. Usually we end the circle with a lovely relaxation to the sound of singing bowls and other healing instruments.

We need to meet to heal. We need to meet to understand that we are not alone. We need to meet so that we together can create change in the world.

Come as you are and we will take it from there.

Rewilding Sessions & A Day of Rewilding

More info coming up.

Getting in touch with the inner wild animal, the predator. As a woman that is revolutionary. To completely change perspective. To go from being the hunted to being the huntress. To take the power back and finally allow yourself to take your place in this world as YOU.

This is an art project and a continuous exploration of what it means to be a woman in this world beyond stereotypes, conventions and social norms. A journey of rediscovering and reconnecting with the wild and free creature within. The one who follows her own heart, honors her cyclical nature and expresses herself freely. There are Rewilding Sessions coming up in the near future , both in group and 1:1.

I will share with you an experience I had recently on this theme:

It was on a full moon eve and I was out walking. Nearby where I live there is a beautiful forest. Suddenly I felt this urge to step right into the forest, into the darkness and I did. I went in and stopped beside a big pine tree, silently watching and listening to all the sounds around me. I used to be afraid of the darkness but now I felt completely safe and something inside of me shifted.

I moved further in and felt something stirring, something inside of me awaken. The blackbirds were singing and I felt like a wild animal too. I wasn’t human anymore. I was part of the forest. I had merged with nature.

I kept walking and from a distance I could see a man come wandering on the footpath outside of the forest. The path was illuminated and I could see the man clearly, but he couldn’t see me from where I was standing, in the darkness, watching him.

I knew that if he would catch a glimpse of me, see my eyes, he would be afraid. He wouldn’t see a person, but a wild creature. A woman in a wolf’s clothing.

That shift of perspective was like nothing I have ever experienced before. Living in this world in a woman’s body is a constant reminder of that you are supposed to be afraid, to not move around in dark places, to beware, to take care, to watch yourself and more and more and more. So, standing there watching that man on the path knowing that he would be afraid if he saw me was empowering. Because, what kind of woman walks around in the dark forest all on her own?

This and more is what we will explore in our group sessions together. Taking the power back and allowing ourselves to be ourselves with all the nuances and the colours and the fragrances. Letting go of old limiting beliefs and ideas on what is possible for us. This is my passion and I will do my best to serve your particular needs.
