Spirit Sisters: Release, Move & Share

A gathering for women who are ready to connect to themselves and others and take a deep dive into femininity, creativity, release and life force. Come together with earth-based spiritual practices, movement, meditation, reflection, sharing and sound medicine.
What to Expect:
You are invited to gather on Monday evenings in September and October for sessions filled with wellbeing practices. Hidden away in the centre of Bradford, we'll connect in a caring and nurturing environment. Led by the energy/flow/needs in the room, each week we welcome in various practices which may include:

-Warming breathwork
-Vocal expression and intuitive movement
-Gentle restorative movement and relaxation
-Rhythmic drumming and creative play to explore sensuality
-Journaling and a space for sharing
-Meditation and Sound Medicine
-Intention-setting ceremonies
-Plant-based medicines such as herbal teas and cacao
Led by Kirran Shah, this women's circle is a chance to explore personal creative and life cycles, with the encouragement to learn about our own internal rhythms by paying attention to physical and energetic changes, movement, reflection, emotional release and sharing. We are all on our own individual journeys, but it can be powerful and transformative to do this work together.
These sessions are aimed to support your wellbeing so please participate however is best for you. It’s all an invitation, to get closer to ourselves and to each other. This work is about meeting edges and is energy stirring. At the same time we hope to create a culture that is loving, accepting and compassionate.
Who is it for?
This is an inclusive weekly gathering for women who are ready to connect to themselves and take a deep dive into their own femininity, creativity and life force. This space is for all women, no matter what stage of your life you are at.
These sessions value diversity of expression, experiences and perspectives and are open to all who identify as women including our trans community and any other expression or identification of femininity. This is a gathering for people of marginalised genders, including cis-women, trans women and non-binary people.
Energy Exchange
We have a fixed capacity of spaces to honour the intimate journey we will go on together. Every session is Pay What You Feel and includes refreshments. Please arrive in plenty of time for the group to start at 6pm. The sessions will end by 8pm.
