Cycles & Circles with Julie

Certified life coach, women’s circle facilitator and trauma-informed menstrual & somatic therapist

I combine my extensive experience in coaching & therapy, yoga, dance, women’s work and strategy consulting to help men, and mostly women, to hear the whispers of their soul. I specialise in soul purpose and feminine empowerment work and am certified as a Co-active coach, Unesco trauma-informed movement therapist, Awakening Women’s Temple leader and Madretierra menstrual therapist. I love my dance,

tarot, art and meditation practice, and am passionate about conscious femininity and spreading cyclical awareness. Living close to nature on Crete and in India has attuned me to living cyclically - following the rhythm of the seasons, the moon, and my menstrual cycle. Cyclical living is now at the core of my work and mission through new and full moon circles, as well as sharing menstrual cycle knowledge as widely as possible as a tool for self knowledge and embodiment.

I love this time of year on Crete, a short window of blessed warmth between the wet cold of winter and the scorching heat of summer, a time when all of nature is fully alive and so am I 🧚‍♀️

This is where post-patriarchy starts, right now, right here, with the generation we’re mothering!

So I’m excited about my 25% off spring offer, highlighting my Mother Daughter sessions and ceremonies in honour of this most fundamental of relationships, both with our daughters (or sons!) and our Inner Girl.

The offer includes somatic therapy sessions supporting you to in turn support your daughter (or son) or Inner Girl to fully blossom, processing for example a difficult relationship with your own mother, any traumatic experiences in your girlhood and/or lingering subconscious patriarchal patterns, often related to women’s sexuality, bodies, power and vulnerability.

It also includes private or group ceremonies for example baptising your daughter, introducing her to women’s circle practices, preparing her for her first bleed, or celebrating her becoming a woman.

And while of course my work focuses on women, I want to truly honour the mothers raising sons and allowing the next generation of women to be met with a different version of masculinity, one that is more in touch with emotions and able to articulate them, and one that will not be blind to women shouldering the burden of housework.

So this 25% off spring offer is definitely also for you!

It applies to the first 5 women who sign up by the end of March for a session or ceremony taking place before the summer solstice of 21st June.

You’re very welcome to send me a DM with any questions or ideas you have!

You can read more here https://maitreecoaching.com/11-sessions about my rates and 12+ years of experience as a certified trauma-informed embodiment & menstrual therapist and coach working with over a thousand men and mostly women.

Do reach out to me if even with the discount, my rates are not affordable for you yet you feel a strong call. We will find a way to make it work because it’s important that we support each other in these challenging times.

And if you’re on Crete, come join us on Saturday 12th April for the Blossom Day Circle, a beauty medicine workshop celebrating rebirth and exploring the needs of your Inner Girl.

Or on 31st May, Ania and I will create an enchanting circle for mothers & daughters of 5-7 years old to honour your connection.

In case you’re wondering - I’m of course excited to see more fathers step into raising their children in a post-patriarchal way but I feel they’re better supported by an experienced male therapist who can relate to the experiences and challenges they face.

💃🏽Happy to invite all women to a special free online circle dedicated to Cyclical Living that I’ll host on International Women's Day, Saturday 8th March!

🩸Every woman deserves to know how she embodies the eternal rhythm of nature - blossom, bloom, harvest, hibernate - through her menstrual cycle.

🔻And how this knowledge and experiencing the cycles of nature somatically in an embodied way changes how we approach life, love, work, play and much more - everything really!

⭕️It will be an experiential beauty medicine circle with something for everyone and space for QA.

👣Beginners will learn more about the four phases of Cyclical Living - in our menstrual cycle as well as in the lunar & solar cycles, our breath cycle and the cycle of our lifetime.

🌀Those who have started walking the Cyclical Living path, will experience how the archetypes of the Maiden, Mother, Wild Woman & Wise Woman map to the four phases.

🌹And those who already practice Cyclical Living for a while will learn more about how the Wheel of the Year aligns with the other cycles of nature.

💌Send me a message with your email address or email me directly at [email protected] to sign up to join us live or receive the recording. All details in link in comments.

❤️I’d love to have you with us and share the joy and benefits of Cyclical Living with you!

🔻We find ourselves in uncertain times when women’s position in society is once again being challenged by toxic masculinity.

⭕️So it dearly and devotedly matters that we keep gathering in circle to practice post-patriarchal ways of being.

🔻To move away from pyramids and hierarchies and endless growth and depletion. From humans being separate from and wanting to dominate nature.

⭕️To experience instead the cyclical way of belonging to nature’s eternal rhythm of blossom, bloom, harvest, rest and rebirth.

🔻To reclaim the wisdom of our bodies by embracing what it means to live life in a woman’s body - from our first to our last bleed and everything in between and beyond.

⭕️To speak out loud about what is still censored from most conversations - women's physical and emotional reality from menarche to pregnancy, childbirth and loss, (peri-)menopause and much more.

🔻These existential experiences shape how we relate to the world and the cosmos.

⭕️By living them as part of the cycles of nature, we find belonging, resilience, resourcefulness and purpose.

🔻Through earth-based rituals we make sense of our experiences and connect with the ways of our ancestors.

⭕️And we find clarity about our individual place in this world and our gifts.

Registrations for our online Moon Soul Circle Community close by 15th March!

🌹Our online Moon Soul Circle Community is a home for like-hearted women dedicated to:

🔻 Cyclical Living
🔻Soul Purpose
🔻 Post-Patriarchal Spirituality

*"I love the rituals! Thank you for creating a safe container for us to enjoy the spiderweb of sisterhood that keeps weaving every time we gather.”*

🌹This February & March registrations are open for new women to join our circle.

🔻We gather every 4-5 weeks in an intimate circle of maximum 10 women from across the world.

🔻Our circle time is sacred time to tune in with ourselves and our path.

🔻We find alignment, connection, purpose, empowerment through practices such as beauty medicine, ritual, embodiment, soul sharing and more.

*"I love the different ways of embodiment - from silence, to movement, singing and ritual, as well as our sharings about patriarchy within and without, and what a world beyond patriarchy could feel like. I love how you hold the fullness of our sharing, thank you.”*

🌹We speak openly about navigating a spiritual life in a woman's body, reframing experiences such as menarche, motherhood and (peri-)menopause as moments of initiation.

🔻I feel full of joy to welcome new women into our sacred circle space💗

🔻To register until 15th March, see link in comments!

So happy to welcome women from across Europe, Asia & the US to experience the abundance (and chaos!) of mama Crete for the first in-person retreat of our online circle community! 😍👣🌿🌊🏔️⚡️

A week of processing, dreaming & visioning together 🌺🪶🦦🪽

Wild women in the woods, calling on their ancestry 🌲🦉🐚🌀

Together dancing & weaving post-patriarchal spaces into being 🕸️💃🏽🐍🧶

Offering sweet gifts to the Goddess, the Earth mother holding us all in all her guises - fierce, loving, sweet, wise and more! 🕊️🍯🌬️🌱

Each woman stepping into our own gifts & medicine to co-create circle magic while I held space for it all to unfold organically ✨🪷✨

A great joy & honour to stride, and sometimes stumble, into the re-learning of matriarchal ways 💥

Almost always with lots of nourishing rest to support us in the unlearning of the old patriarchal patterns - thank you sisters for hearing the call! 🐌🤍🤍🤍
