"The women’s circle is a portal calling us to enter a deeper and more intimate, direct connection with who we are and what we are made of"
~ Chameli Ardagh

Sisters, are you ready for a soft place to land? 𝑨 π’”π’‚π’π’„π’•π’–π’‚π’“π’š 𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆, 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆 π’˜π’Šπ’”π’…π’π’Ž with other like-minded women? A temple of serenity, safety & reconnecting to our senses, and sensuality? A place to ground and root as women, a place to gain clarity and inner peace?

In woman's temple, we reconnect to the 𝑫𝒆𝒆𝒑 π‘­π’†π’Žπ’Šπ’π’Šπ’π’†-- to our Intuition, our softness and our flow- the river under the river. Break out of analysis paralysis and come into the deeper knowing of the body, breath, Earth and this growing community of Nourished Women.

I warmly invite you to Awakening Shakti: a 8 week In-person Feminine Self-Care Journey beginning on Tuesday September 16 , 𝐚𝐭 πŸ•:00 ~ 945 pm 𝐏𝐒𝐓, at beautiful Yoga by the Sea in Roberts Creek, Sunshine Coast.

This first class of 8 we are focusing on establishing foundation within ourselves with the Tantric goddess archetype of Durga , embodying our roots, and our inner tree nature.

September 16 ~ Oct 28, 2025.

We will travel together for 8 magical Tuesday nights.

In these 3hour sessions, we will be using ancient Indian tantric ( Arkaya) and yogini temple practices to breathe, soften, and come into the wisdom of the body as a group.

This includes:

~ 9 pointed pranayama breathwork ( nervous system regulation + inner re-parenting)
~ sparsha mudra ( conscious loving touch)
~ embodied mythology of the goddesses of Yoga ( Durga Ma, Kali Ma, Lakshmi etc)
+ guided tantric goddess embodiment
~ sacred rage temple + yoni steam ceremony
~ exploration of chakra system
~ embodiment of sacred feminine + masculine

Warm vegan caffeine free Ayurvedic chai and healing holistic treats from the Nourished Woman will be served every class. YUM!

The first class is a super powerful marking, as we will set intentions ( Sankalpa) as a group, and also create our Divine Feminine altars that will guide this 8 week journey.

These series are powerful and not be missed! When women come together this way, we nourish ourselves in the deepest way possible. We tap into a collective field of feminine wisdom and embodiment. In circles that gathered just like this together. long long ago.

WHAT SHE SAID:

" I am feeling nourished, strengthened and empowered! Abneet has rocked my world the last 7 weeks! I feel plugged back into my power, my strength and deeply connected to my body. This work is stunning and Abneet’s facilitation is impeccable and masterful. Something undeniably powerful happens when women gather and Abneet catalyzed this power - the result was a group of women who started off as strangers becoming dear friends.
Abneet created a safe and transformative space where we could each explore to the fullest our softness, our bodies, our sensuality, our rage, our love, our power… the result was deep healing and transformation.
At the end of this program I looked around the circle and beheld a room full of Queens. Each woman transformed, shining vibrantly, connected to herself, her worth, her power and her deeper knowings. It was undeniably beautiful.
Thank you Abneet. I’m so grateful to have found my way to you and this work. "

-- Tatiana Speed β™₯

Awakening Shakti offered exactly the rooted spiritual teachings, somatic wisdom and safe sacred container of shakti sisters that I was seeking. I started the program feeling over-identified with my masculine energyβ€”the doer, the achiever, the survivor, the hustler. I left feeling safe and empowered to exist in my feminine energy for the first time, trusting that to be soft is to be fierce, and witnessing how much eros saturates my existence when I am more spacious. When I fall out of balance, I now have so many practices that bring me back home too.A big part of what made this experience so special is the way Abneet honours the lineages of these teachings, and also the way she held space for all women in the circle to go through our individual processes of healing and becoming, but as part of a collective. It was so much more potent to do this work alongside my sisters. Literally life changing!
~~ Jacqueline Salome <3

β€œ For me, it is been such a gift to have the opportunity to talk about women’s process related to our sexuality, sensuality and how just speaking out my thoughts and experiences in a very healthy and protected environment could be a way to heal whatever is happening in our lives. Thank you Abneet for holding this space for us. It is a human right to connect with people who help us align with the cycle of life!
