Hi, I’m Naomi. I live in Shoreham by sea, just down the road from Brighton. So what brought me here? Hmm…possibly Pisces and a lunar eclipse but also a longing to reconnect with my spiritual side. I’d felt that I was starting to feel the magic at the end of last year and I was full of fire, optimism, and an ‘I’ve got this’ mentality. But an interaction with my close friends in January left me feeling numb, ridiculous and tbh a bit of anger towards them (I’m generally not an angry person so this has made me feel very off kilter). However, I still have the memory of how I felt before January and I’ve been trying to get back there ever since, so Carla’s voice and group just spoke to me. So, while I’ve continued to do all the practical/physical life things, I have noticed I’m feeling drenched in feelings of guilt, failure and overwhelm. Perhaps it’s peaked as we come to the end of the school holidays but I’ve realised it’s the balance of spirituality and the simplicity of lighting a candle and breathing that I need back in my life, which sounds like something I should be able to do alone but being honest, I won’t. I need the social connection and validation that you only find in a group of women who are on the same page. So not sure if I’ve fulfilled the brief or blown the word count for my intro but that’s where I’m starting from. Looking forward to meeting everyone and finding some calm in the chaos ✨❤️✨

Hello everyone, I’m Katie from London. The Magnetic Woman really spoke to me, Carla and this space offer so many things that I believe I need right now. I have been going through a number of simultaneous transitions and I feel the need for calm, a space to lean into energy and breath work and feel the beautiful benefits of it. Lately I have felt mentally really overloaded, physically low in energy, stuck and lost, and detached from my intuition. I’m here to clear all that and reconnect! I look forward to meeting you all ✨🤎

September's circle begins on the 7th. We've done the inner game of money.. the blueprints, the beliefs, the rewiring. This month I want us to go deeper. All four of these come with real work inside.. journaling and practices woven through. Four books. One vote. GO! Do Less - Kate Northrup The invitation to stop pushing. Northrup wrote this after burnout and new motherhood forced her to find another way.. and what she found was that doing less created more. Moon phases, energy cycles, receiving over striving. Each chapter closes with an experiment to run in your own life, so the book becomes something you live rather than something you finish. For the woman who is tired of earning her rest. Belonging - Toko-pa Turner A book about the ache to belong.. to yourself, to others, to something older than both. Turner weaves dreamwork, myth and practice into something closer to an apprenticeship than a read. It was self-published and became beloved anyway, passed hand to hand through women's circles across the world. Expect reflection prompts that reach further than you thought they would. The deepest water here. Burning Woman - Lucy H. Pearce The fire. Pearce writes about feminine power.. the kind we were taught to dampen.. and what it costs to keep it hidden. Raw, unapologetic, and threaded with questions that will not let you stay neutral. This is the underground choice, the one most likely to make you put the book down and stare at the wall. Bring a journal you don't mind setting alight. Playing Big - Tara Mohr The inner critic, named and disarmed. Mohr maps the voice that keeps brilliant women small.. and gives you practices to unhook from praise, hear your own callings and act before you feel ready. The most structured of the four, with journaling woven through every chapter. If there is something you have been circling for months, this book will walk you towards it. Vote below. We begin together on the 7th.

I was coming home with the shopping, drove into the car lift that takes us down to our underground car park like I do every day... and it seized between floors. A blood-curdling screech, then the smell of burning. No phone signal through the concrete. The emergency alarm returned a robotic voice saying NOT IN SERVICE. And then I realised the engine was still running, and the fumes had nowhere to go. I screamed for help into a soundproofed metal box and no one heard me. Some of you know my history... a decade ago, panic attacks ran my life. And the old panic arrived right on cue, flooding my system, telling me exactly how this would end. Fire. Carbon monoxide. Suffocation. My mind offered me every version. Ten years ago that panic would have owned me completely. Here's what was different. Underneath the terror, something in me knew what to do. Breath, long slow exhales, over and over. Feet on the floor. Naming what was actually true rather than what my mind was screaming. The panic still came in waves. But I wasn't alone inside it. The woman I've built through years of this work was in there with me, and she held. But this is what's stayed with me since. When my body genuinely believed it might be the end, what rose up was love. Nothing else survived the moment. Just my family's faces, and the fierce, animal clarity of how much I love them. And when I finally heard my partner and son on the other side of those doors, refusing to wait for the engineer, running for tools, prising the doors open themselves... I sobbed like a child. My two heroes. The practices you're learning here aren't for the calm days. They're for the lift. They're so that when life seizes between floors, and at some point it will, there's a woman inside you who knows how to breathe, and who remembers instantly what actually matters. Have you had a moment like this... where life stopped you in your tracks and showed you what matters? Tell me below. I keep the fire lit. ❤️‍🔥 Carla x

Hey everyone! 👋 Happy to be here.👏 I'm Erin, originally from beautiful Vancouver and now based in lovely Edinburgh. 🍃 What brought me here is a yearning for a community of women stepping into a power that was already in them/us through embodiment, pleasure and other juicy things and using that power to make big moves in the world. I'm leaving behind being small and hiding. I burned out three years ago and that became an awakening that's still unfolding. My vow landed with a knowing that the world we are building is already waiting for us. 🌈
