when: Sunday 29th March - Saturday 20th June 2026
how: 6 in-person circles // 1 online integration
where: neter ma’at centre in brixton, london
We are in a continual state of becoming, as is everything around us. Life itself is a web of intricate connections. an organic wisdom that lives within us ~ Ancestral intelligence encoded into our breath, blood, bones, and brains ~ felt and expressed in ways beyond words that can feel elusive.
join this space for African Diaspora and Global Majority Women, Femme and Non-binary folk to center shared experiences. enter a practice of decolonising as a body-mind-spirit process that empowers you to reclaim your personal agency, ancestral wisdom and spiritual authenticity. together we will explore each element; earth, water, fire, air, ether to recognise their qualities, learn how to listen and be guided by these universal natural forces.in cultivating the space and practices to access our indigeneity ~ who you were before social norms and expectations shaped you ~ you enter the sacred act of re:membering your true nature.
during the past two decades of spiritual healing and empowerment practice, I’ve learned that the most challenging and expansive life moments require us to lean deeper into our practices and community. You are not alone in whatever you are experiencing. this journey is designed for those seeking deeper connection and authenticity in your relationship with yourself and others.
Come as you are
The invitation is to bring your self and whatever you might be holding, to be held within community. You do not need previous experience in spiritual practice, Yoga or somatics to join. come if you are curious about beginning a practice or have an existing practice that you want to become more consistent or deepen in to. come if you are seeking community. come if you want to reconnect with yourself. come if you are looking for new compassionate, playful and embodied ways of being.

reflections from 2025 journeyer’s
“The experience was transformative, the effects so long lasting. My personal
spiritual practice has been changed and has evolved in a way I hadn't expected.”"Being in circle with black women who were being so open and vulnerable
and having such a sure, safe and nourishing space was beautiful. Each and every
session there were meaningful moments that I could never do justice to with words."
