Not just any Women’s Circle, but a place to Dance, to Deepen together…
and dare to be moved by life
This three-hour event will be drenched in embodied experiencing – a grounded space to share with others what is real and ready to be seen without the pressure to perform, be fixed, or explain yourself.
We will start with Yin Yoga to attune to our body’s wisdom, then move into the circle where transformation happens and finalising on the dance floor to surrender to the movement that emerges when the body is allowed to lead and the voice is allowed to move.
Come and remember what is possible when women gather with music, presence, intention and permission to simply be – in circle, in rhythm, in truth.
Circle
A women’s circle where we sit in truth within energetic and emotional boundaries to both; feel what’s ready to be spoken rather than what we think should be; and not take home other women’s stories.
Our agreement is that what’s revealed stays in the space, allowing the alchemy of the circle to contain.
Dance
Carefully curated music that guides us through our shared humanity. A soundscape that resonates with what’s showing up, helping us express our truth.
Without pressure but fully encouraged, you’re invited to move and meet others on the dance floor. From edgy to gentle music, mirroring the full spectrum of life.
Yin Yoga
Functional yin yoga invites us to move deeper into the layers of our physical and subtle bodies, releasing myofascial tension whilst strengthening our relationship with the discomfort that opens us up to receive more life.
This deeper dive into ourselves opens the gates to a more embodied state. No yoga experience needed.
Integration
A taster of Temple Arts to hold your experience. A nurturing space to rest and digest, and allow insights to flow through. Receive the magic of stillness and a soundbath that soothes your body and soul.
A small sharing at the end will take place to help us ground. You’re welcome to share as little or as much as you like.
THE MOVER'S PARADISE IS A DARE TO BE MOVED BY LIFE
This is not about staging a false paradise, but remembering that paradise becomes possible when we are free to be real – not shunned, shamed, or pathologized.
Spirituality here is not escape. It is a dare to embody all of life – grief, rage, joy, tenderness, ecstasy – and remain present, embodied, in the midst of it.
There is no forced intimacy, no catharsis required, no pressure to perform emotionally or physically. You are always sovereign in your participation.
We gather because we dare to be moved by life.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
• CONSENSUAL INTUITIVE GUIDANCE AND ENERGETIC SUPPORT
• A GENTLY HELD, TRAUMA-INFORMED SPACE
• YIN YOGA TO OPEN OUR BODIES FOR TRUTH
• MUSIC THAT WILL MOVE YOUR OCEANIC NATURE
• TIME TO ARRIVE, SHARE, MOVE, AND INTEGRATE
• THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS YOURSELF FULLY
• SPACE TO SHARE AND LISTEN IN CIRCLE
• PRESENCE, NOT PRESSURE
You’re in the right place if you:
- want to meet other women in a grounded way
- crave something physical, real and human
- are tired of pretending and pleasing
- feel over-processed and under-inhabited
- want to move and speak your truth without being judged or corrected
- are drawn to embodied, mythopoetic, and somatic spaces
- sense there is wisdom in your body you want to reconnect with
- want to ignite your creativity and self-expression
This is NOT for you if you want:
- self-improvement frameworks that spiritually bypass reality
- spaces that reduce everything to personal failure or “mindset issue” while ignoring trauma and systemic realities
- formal dance training (no dance experience is needed)
- fixing and striving for perfection
Put down the books. The feminine is an embodied tradition.
It happens in the here and now.
Quiet your mind and drop back into your nature.
It’s here where you will find her.
Transmissions are a felt experience.
Life. Zest. Orgasmic breath.
Always swirling. Never controlling.
Fully immersed. Fully here.
In the beauty and mess of all this.
MEET YOUR FACILITATOR:
Gabriella is a trauma-informed somatic expression artist and facilitator.
She brings inspiration and skills from a long career as a performer, artist, therapist, priestess and facilitator of transformation.
Her work initiates women back into their holy humanity — creating spaces where art, embodiment, and psychological depth meet lived experience.
Her practice sits at the crossroads of mythopoetic lineage, dark feminine wisdom, shadow work, yin yoga, and anti-pathology, trauma-informed approaches.
Often described as better than therapy by those who experience her work, Gabriella creates spaces that are grounded, relational, non-judgemental, and alive — where women can return to their truest selves, leaving behind the need to be fixed or managed.
“Gabriella’s one of the most real and raw humans that I’ve worked with. No masks, no postures.
That’s a sign of someone who has pushed her own limits, done the inner work and trespassed the cultural programming of the patriarchy.
Her work is transgressive, and that for me is very needed in these times of great disillusions and illuminations.”
– Maia Balam
