Into The Heartwood: An Embodied Woodland Women's Circle

'Into The Heartwood'

'Into the Heartwood' is an embodied woodland women's circle held in the quiet embrace of the Lesnes Abbey Woodlands. This is a space for truth and safety. Courage and softness. Words, and something deeper.

Here among the roots and leaf shadow we gather to return to what's real, the steady pulse beneath the noise, to the knowing held deep in the body. We slow down together. Tune into the body together. Breathe together. Listen, hold and express together. Co-regulate together. We reconnect to ourselves, to one another, and to the ancient living land that holds us.

This Months Theme

July = Holding It All.

This month, we explore what it means to hold it all. The beauty, and the mess. The grief and the faith. The ache and the joy. The parts we wish away and the ones we treasure.

The fullness of our inner landscape.

All that it means to be alive.

We hold multiple truths (aligned and conflicting), multiple realities in and around us, different inner and outer experiences, all at the same time.

Bring them. Breathe them. Move them. Speak them. Be with them.

Together we hold space for all of it!

What To Expect

✵ A small, intimate group of women, held in the woodlands calm and magic.

✵ Gentle and supportive embodied movement, breath, and somatic practices to awaken your senses and connect you to yourself.​

✵ Guided inquiry and reflections that invite you to explore, feel and share from the heart.

✵ A little ritual, a little journaling.

✵ A safe and sacred space with beautiful presence to be together in what’s real, tender, messy, powerful.

✵ Nourishment through connection, co-regulation, and a sense of belonging.

✵ Restful pauses for deep listening, to yourself, the land and the sister beside you.​

✵ All of you is welcome. You may laugh, cry, speak, be silent, feel a lot, feel a little. There is no right or wrong. You can engage as little or as much as you wish to.

✵ No hiking or strenuous activity - just a short walk to the chosen quiet and private spot, spacious sitting, and soulful connection.
