Description

Truth - Embodied Wisdom - Women’s Journey

The Forbidden Path is a five-part series for women ready to reclaim power, pleasure, intuition, and embodied truth that have long been silenced.

You may join the full series or attend any workshop as a standalone experience.

This journey is elemental, ritualised, emotionally honest, and rooted in the feminine mysteries.

It calls women who are ready to walk the path fully: through the underworld, the garden, lineage, rage, pleasure, and into their wholeness.

Along the way, you will be held and guided into deeper layers of body, psyche, and soul.

Module 1: Initiation onto the Forbidden Path

June 26–28, 2026 — with Sanjula & Abhi

Threshold – Earth – Rebirth (Standalone – 2 nights · £330)

This opening weekend marks the crossing of the threshold. It invites Earth energy: grounding, boundaries, body truth, stability, and the first shedding of an old identity. Through ceremony, emotional release, ancestral clearing, shadow work, and embodied boundaries, we enter the underworld of the Forbidden Path — where women remember who they are beneath conditioning.

We meet shame, guilt, unprocessed rage, silence, and inherited stories from mothers, grandmothers, and patriarchal lineage. Here you encounter the woman you were before you were shaped: instinctive, earthy, honest, and clear. You will be supported through elemental ritual, body-based healing, earth grounding, and practices that prepare your system to hold more life force.

During this workshop we will…

  • Walk a full threshold ritual of release
  • Work with earthing practices for grounding and boundaries
  • Explore ancestral shame, guilt, and suppression
  • Activate emotional expression and somatic truth

Module 2: Wild Woman Rising

18–20 September 2026 — with Amiya & Fiona

Untamed – Sensual – Sacred (Standalone – 2 nights · £330)

This Water, Earth, and Fire weekend explores emotion, instinct, sensuality, and the underworld feminine. Here we meet Lilith, Kali, the sensual serpent woman, and the ecstatic dancer — the one who has never apologised for her hunger or freedom. Through dance, movement, naked or clay-covered body painting, emotional alchemy, grief and rage ritual, and sensual reclamation, we return to the raw feminine the world has tried to tame.

This workshop helps release shame, rage, repression, Catholic guilt, and the pleasure woman within. It is a breakthrough space where freedom, earthiness, and instinct become sacred again. We honour both the woman who wants to fly and the woman who wants to root.

During this workshop we will…

  • Reclaim sensuality, pleasure, and instinct
  • Explore Water: emotion, guilt, shame, and release
  • Engage in dance and naked/clay body painting
  • Meet Lilith and Kali archetypes through ritual
  • Work with expression, repression, and breakthrough processes
  • Heal through sound, breathwork, movement, and circle
  • Reawaken pleasure and the snake-wisdom of the body
  • Explore your forbidden sensual shadows

Module 3: Sovereign Woman

11–13 Dec 2026 — with Tarisha & Louise

Authority – Fire – Truth (Standalone – 2 nights · £330)

This Fire weekend is about boundaries, clarity, leadership, voice, and inner authority. After meeting your wildness, the work becomes more refined. Sovereign Woman stands firmly in her truth, speaks with precision, and reclaims the power she once gave away. The focus here is unprocessed rage, control, empowerment, embodied boundaries, communication, and leadership.

Leadership is explored not as performance, but as presence. You will be supported to stand on your own feet, take up space, and speak with integrity. Through fire ritual, voice work, power reclamation, and tree-rooted embodiment, we awaken the inner queen and leader.

During this workshop we will…

  • Practice embodied boundaries and clear communication
  • Reclaim unprocessed rage in healthy expression
  • Work with Fire: desire, leadership, and sovereignty
  • Strengthen self-regulation without external reliance
  • Explore voice, visibility, and the sacred “no”
  • Unwind patterns of shrinking or over-boundarying
  • Reclaim inner leadership and embodied authority
  • Use nature, trees, and earth as allies for empowerment

Module 4: Wise Woman Stillness Speaks

12–14 February 2027 — with Sanjula & Amiya

Stillness – Insight – Discernment (Standalone – 2 nights · £330)

This Air and Ether weekend is devoted to intuition, clarity, ancestral listening, and deep stillness. After the emotional, sensual, and fiery territories, the journey enters a quiet space that reveals everything. The workshop includes silence, meditation, council work, breath, intuition activation, shadow integration, night-time nature rituals, blindfolded visioning, earth-burial practices, and listening to the land.

Here the feminine elder comes online — the woman who sees truth without fear, speaks only what is essential, and trusts her inner knowing completely. This is where the journey begins to integrate and the shape of your medicine starts to emerge.

During this workshop we will…

  • Drop into deep stillness and intuitive states
  • Engage in blindfolded vision quests and listening rituals
  • Work with night nature practices and sweat lodge (if permitted)
  • Explore Air: voice, discernment, creativity
  • Integrate shadow and wisdom with care
  • Receive ancestral insight and heal conditioning
  • Recalibrate the nervous system toward spaciousness
  • Sit in stillness circles and elder council

Module 5: Gifted Woman

Spring 2027 — with Tarisha & Louise

Radiance – Offering – Purity (2 nights · £330 EB)

The final workshop completes the Forbidden Path and returns to Eden as a woman who now chooses the apple consciously. Gifted Woman is where your medicine becomes visible. This weekend is devoted to radiance, purity, elegance, sensual innocence, and sacred offering. Through creativity, ritual, expression, ancestral honouring, nature listening, and visibility practices, you will uncover the gifts you have hidden and the courage to share them.

We explore pleasure as purity, visibility without shame, embodied offering, and the subtle feminine power that blesses simply by being. This is not about becoming a healer, but about recognising how you naturally heal, inspire, and uplift when you stop hiding.

During this workshop we will…

  • Discover your unique medicine and feminine gifts
  • Explore visibility, expression, and embodied radiance
  • Engage in pleasure, purity, and sensual innocence rituals
  • Work with creativity, voice, and movement
  • Listen to nature for guidance on your offering
  • Reclaim gifts hidden by shame or conditioning
  • Participate in a completion ceremony
  • Return to the Garden as the woman you have become
