For women who don’t have enough time to themselves because they are too busy looking after everyone else.

And this often results in many things we don’t like to admit to – tired, no, exhausted. Harried, depleted, overwhelmed, stuck. Feeling inadequate at not being able to juggle it all and feeling guilty for feeling resentful. Sometimes lonely, sometimes anxious, sometimes feeling a bit lost, a bit forgotten, but keeping on..! And doing our best.

Many people think self-care for women is a bubble bath, some chocolate and getting our nails done. But real self care (some may say radical! But I say necessary) is learning to give only from our overflowing cup – from our saucer!

Resting before we get tired and optimising our sleep
learning kind inner self talk
taking time in nature
giving ourselves quiet time so we can hear what our body and soul are telling us
meeting our own needs and asking for what we need and want, including for support,
creating healthy boundaries and saying no when we need to
finding movement or exercise we actually love
nutritious food, (and kindness when we are not doing as well as would prefer) honouring our feelings and getting help healing our inner hurts
finding purpose and meaning and living a life we love…

…but how do we do this?

We will gently explore some of the things that get in the way of us giving ourselves what we need and look at how we can make small changes in our lives, because learning self care is a journey, a process, which of course we won’t do all at once.

Sacred Sisterhood is a community of Sisters, healing, holding in Sacred Space.

Usually offered in 3 day seasonal Spirals, this summer, we have one standalone Selfcare Day (because I’m taking my own Medicine and not overscheduling – taking time to rest and replenish, have fun and enjoy the summer <3)

Small group. Organic vegan lunch and snacks provided.

Offering the opportunity to take time out for self care, nurture and celebration, connecting more deeply to yourself and a special community of women.
Set in a beautiful yurt near Canterbury with a cosy woodburning stove in a large peaceful tranquil and beautiful garden.

Each day includes plenty of time for reflecting and sharing. Witnessed and held in safe and sacred circle.

Small group to hold safe space and be heard, honoured and witnessed.

Lunch snacks and all materials provided.

The financial exchange is offered as sliding scale
£74 per day for those on low incomes
£83 for those on mid incomes
£92 for those on secure incomes

Delicious organic vegan friendly lunch, snacks and all materials included

One part energetic exchange available place per spiral

Some lovely feedback from previous Sacred Sisterhood Sessions 🙏<3

“I love the way you hold circle, I love attending your event and what you do.” Clare D

“The day long session was restoration for the soul. Kind welcoming women for the Sisterhood sessions. Warm yurt during this winter event, abundant warming food and drinks supplied. The guided sessions meshed well with collective intentions. A pocket of peace and mutual love… and that was before our second session, so warm in its gathering of hearts and souls” Anne Perry

“Naomy creates a wonderful welcoming space, I felt instantly relaxed when I arrived @ her sisterhood circle. She has a way of holding the space which Is fun and playful and at the same time healing and powerful. A perfect way to spend a day with other women and to nurture the heart and soul”

“I absolutely loved it. It was so nice to be in such a sacred and safe space. I felt safe and that is the most important thing for me. So thankyou for creating that. I really could feel your intention and your heart behind it. It was beautiful. It was really really beautiful. And I loved the place, I loved the circle, I loved the spiral, I loved all the different energies. I loved all the different exercises, modalities, intentions, all of those things that we used in that space and it was amazing, it was really heartfelt. Thankyou so much for sharing that with us and creating the space for us. I really loved it. It will be something I will be taking with me so thankyou again. I will look to see if I can join you on some the others because it’s just amazing. I think you’re amazing, I love being in your energy and thankyou again”

“Attending the Sacred Sisterhood Spirals has been such an enriching, nurturing experience. Something really special happens, time slows down and we gather to explore, evolve, dance, sing , drum and play ,sharing our joys and challenges in a sacred place. This is a really special space to create, grow, be seen and heard. The magic ingredient that brings us all together is Naomy, her wonderful loving heart, powerful presence and ability to share her gifts inspires and initiates deep lasting change. Such a gift I feel so grateful to have been part of these gatherings.” JanB
