🌟 Creating Sacred Spaces for Women's Stories 🌟
A sacred invitation for the beautiful souls in my community
Hi Beautiful Souls,
I hope you've all been thriving and were able to soak in the magic of this incredible summer we've had.
Though I'm sharing this a little later than planned, I felt called to connect with this wonderful community and reach out to those who might feel drawn to what I'm about to share.
For those who don't know me yet, let me introduce myself: I'm Christina, a Dutch-Brazilian woman who has called Belgium home for many years. My journey here has been one of many changes and profound transformations: navigating shifts in lifestyle, discovering my life's purpose and embracing that this too isn't fixed, breaking free from painful patterns, embracing my healing journey, moving through different locations and career changes (from corporate life to healthcare and therapy), and finding deep joy in solitude after divorce.
Currently, I work as a supervisor and caregiver at a live-in facility for adults high on the autism spectrum, a career that has taught me patience on a different level and to respect the uniqueness of each individual's life journey. But my passion and purpose in life is also being self-employed as a Breathwork Guide, weaving in the therapeutic wisdom of Compassionate Inquiry from Gabor Maté in my practice as a guide and counselor.
A Calling to Gather
Over these past months, I've felt a deep calling to create Women's Circles, sacred spaces where we can come together to share our experiences and thoughts on life's profound themes in an atmosphere of safety and genuine connection.
The topic that's speaking most powerfully to me right now is Change – those countless shifts that shape our lives as women. The changes in our ever-evolving bodies through midlife transitions, shifts, and (peri)menopause. The way seasons themselves seem different each year. The transformations that motherhood brings to our bodies and souls. The grief of loss, the reshaping after divorce, our rapidly changing environment, and the uncertainty in our world. So many changes we as women navigate together, yet often alone.
My Heart's Intention
I want to be transparent about what I'm hoping to co-create with you. This is about building authentic community – a sacred space where women (and perhaps men in the future) can share their stories and hold each other with respect and spaciousness. A place where deep, compassionate listening is at the heart of everything we do.
I believe community is sacred and shouldn't carry a price tag. I've witnessed many circles and healing spaces fall into commercialization and the pits of capitalism, and while I deeply respect that we all need to sustain ourselves, my calling here is different.
The energy exchange I'm seeking is simply your presence – showing up authentically and holding space for one another with open, judgment-free hearts.
If you feel moved to contribute toward the costs of the space I am renting or/and bring snacks to share, your generosity would be warmly received and would help sustain this vision of community for the long term. But please know that your presence is the greatest gift.
Ready to Join ?
If this speaks to your soul and you're curious about joining me, please send me a direct message and I'll share all the beautiful details.
Our upcoming gatherings (7:30 PM at Lucy's - Paleisstraat 39):
🌙 September 4th 🌙 October 9th
🌙 November 13th 🌙 December 4th
I can't wait to sit in circle with those who feel called to this journey.
With love and anticipation, Christina ✨
