Sisterhood Sanctuary presents: Dance of Equinox & Rituals of Renewal through Psychomagic

Dear Sister, 

Sisterhood Sanctuary invites you to rejoice in dance, renew your energies within, set your intentions for this period of rebirth, and celebrate the coming of Spring in a safe space amongst other sisters.

Join us for a dance, ritualised and oriented to celebrate the spring equinox, the time of balance, rebirth and renewal. Let's come together and use this magical portal to realign ourselves with the true desires of our heart and plant those seeds that we want to see bloom this season. What desires burn in you that want to peak out? Where do you crave more balance in your life? Do you want to connect more with your creative life force energy or perhaps create more connection with yourself and others?

Whatever it is you desire, through dance and Psychomagic rituals, we invite you to shine light onto those parts that want to be seen and empowered, so that you can integrate them into your full being and let them grow, from a seed into a beautiful flower.

Join us in creating a magical space among sisters, where we can feel at home in our femininity and all its facets, where we can find and connect to our inner strength, where we can choose love over fear, where we can refresh our feminine energy, celebrate our, each other's and life's beauty, and honour how far we have already come since the Winter Solstice.

With peace and ease,

Marta & Kat

CREATING OUR SANCTUARY.

Space Angel. We care about holding space where you can feel safe. We ask to come as you are, respecting each other's biodiversity and welcoming what's different as a playful exploration. Apart from collectively creating a welcoming space, we will have a space angel, who we will introduce in the Welcome Circle and who will provide extra support, practical and emotional, if needed.

It's up to you. While participation is encouraged, it is entirely voluntary and up to you, how you show up. We invite you to approach the experience with openness and curiosity, while also honouring your own boundaries and limitations. There are no obligations – you are encouraged to contribute in a way that feels comfortable and authentic to you, while respecting the needs and boundaries of others.

Co-creation. We envision this space to be created by you and me, by us as a collective. Whilst we make this container possible, it is each and everyone of us, who is part of creating Sisterhood Sanctuary.

Inclusion. Everyone is included. When you show up, you are part of the Sanctuary and you have your own and right place within the circle.

Safe Space. Come as you are, be your authentic self and know that whatever happens during Sisterhood Sanctuary stays in the Sanctuary. For that to be true, we ask everyone to respect each other's confidentiality. 

ABOUT PSYCHOMAGIC .

Psychomagic is a therapeutic approach developed by Alejandro Jodorowsky, blending elements of psychoanalysis, art, shamanism, and performance. It aims to address psychological issues by using symbolic acts, rituals, and gestures to access the subconscious mind and promote healing. Psychomagic interventions are often highly personalised and can involve symbolic actions, such as creating artwork, writing letters, or performing rituals, tailored to the individual's specific aims. By engaging in these symbolic acts, individuals can release emotional blockages, resolve trauma, and achieve personal growth and transformation. Overall, Psychomagic seeks to harness the power of imagination and creativity to bring about psychological healing and serenity.

ABOUT SISTERHOOD SANCTUARY.

Sisterhood Sanctuary was born from a deep desire to create a space where the mycelium of sisterhood can grow, healing from past wounds and transforming them into the real source of energy force and compassionate love. 

We are passionate about sisterhood. We know that in a wider tribe, we thrive. And we all know, that there's a lot of magic juice inside each of us. Expressed in safety, it can lead us to be our own leader and birth a fundamental presence for a new, sustainable and strong community. 

We are passionate about connecting to our own and nature's natural cycles. Life just flows better by tuning into the bigger picture and connecting to the whole. Part of that is about reconnecting to the nature of ritual - a sacred place of transformation and where life's magic manifests through our own creative power.

And lastly, we love to dance, to appreciate our bodies, to express our full range of emotions, and to heal, together. 

Sisterhood Sanctuary is about creating gatherings where we can find refuge in sisterhood, where we can feel at home in our femininity and all its facets, where we can challenge our comfort zone and transform our weaknesses to strengths, where we can choose love over fear, where we can refresh our feminine energy, celebrate our, each other's and life's beauty, and honour how far we have already come.

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATORS.

ABOUT KAT. 

Since Kat was little, she was drawn to creative outlets like singing in a choir, playing instruments and dancing. She danced jazz dance, standard dance, hip hop and street dance for many years. Being part of a formation and competing at various competitions, she developed a great sense of connection to, and strength and resilience within her body, as well as a passion for being part of a team and creating community. Whilst studying and working as a professional event and project manager, she gained valuable experience and a great passion for planning and organising events, however, she lost touch with her creative energy, her body and femininity, and thus her confidence, power and joy in life. Only in recent years, her creative spark was lit again, when she found her way back to herself and her body through presence, dance and voice. For her, being present with herself and connecting to her inner world through creative outlets, is a way of transforming her fears into love and tenderness, re-discovering herself and falling in love with all parts of herself over and over again, refreshing her feminine power and energy, as well as celebrating herself, each other and life.

Whilst Kat is in the midst of her own journey of self-discovery and -exploration, her passion is to inspire others to light their spark, too, and help them find the power, confidence and joy within themselves to be the most authentic version of themselves, without feeling the need to look elsewhere, or strive to be something they are not.

Her way of holding space is influenced by her recent travels, where she established a strong relationship with dance, tantra, yoga, Reiki and Vipassana meditation. Kat brings a grounding energy, authenticity, presence and playfulness to the room. Additionally, she recently started training in family constellation, which adds to her approach. Acknowledging and honouring all parts of yourself and finding your place in your system, is what restores love and brings the body, mind and soul into balance and harmony.
