Honoring My Sacred Feminine

Women’s Healing Circle on Gender, Body & Sexuality

For many years the toxic masculine with its misguided and unskilled ways of being in the world and on earth has dominated the societies with its violent (self and other-destructive) ways.

This has been causing much chaos, depletion of the earth, severe suffering of individuals and societies through extreme inequalities caused by the misguided desire for power and wealth. Now we see the whole world and our planet (GAIA -motherearth) going through a change that is bringing back the power to the sacred feminine that it deserves while leading to a redefinition of the masculine.

Supporting this wave of increasing consciousness, Ayşe created and offers the program “Honoring My Sacred Feminine” integrating her scientific and activist knowledge on women’s health and sexualities with the wisdom of mindfulness practices.

The program is offered as a women´s healing cricle to groups and institutions in Turkish and English. See below for the latest offerings of this program.
If you are interested to experience this program with your group or offer it in your institution, please get in touch with us through the link below.

RE-MEMBERING AND HONORING MY SACRED FEMININE:
A WOMEN’S CIRCLE ON GENDER, BODY, & SEXUALITY

WHAT WILL HAPPEN?:

It will be a collective exploration of our femininity to:

liberate our minds and bodies of the cultural notions of shame, guilt, imperfection, limited expression in the world
to discover and reconnect to our Sacred Femininity, to the ancient wisdom of our bodies and sexuality, and
create new ways of being that are more healing, balanced and whole.

The format of the course will be a women’s sharing circle, held for 8 weeks.

Using readings, films, writing exercises, artwork, movement, meditation and sharing of our own experiences from childhood to now in a safe environment, we will explore together topics such as gender, historical degradation of the feminine, body image, childbirth, menstruation, motherhood, and close with the session on re-membering and reuniting with the Sacred Feminine.

THEMES

We started the circle in Spring 2023 and continued in Fall 2023 with some of us continuing and with new sisters joining. In our last circle, we also had a newborn who came with his mamma. They gifted us the energy of children and motherhood.

In Fall 2024, we will first enter the Circle together, in joy and sisterhood. Then, we will take up topics such as:

Connecting to the Feminine (including wild feminine and Sacred Feminine) and connecting to & honoring our female Ancestors.
Body: Sexualization of the female body & celebration of our bodies
Cycles of Womanhood: from girlhood to old age.. while connecting to menstruation, birth control, pregnancy, and birth..
Birth: Childbirth, our own birth, and birthing the new within and in our lives
Courage
Communication
Connecting to Mother Earth / GAIA & closing the circle..
