WAY OF YIN
a cancerian sanctuary
Welcome to our online community portal, deeply dedicated to exploring and tending to our two most innate needs as women:
connection & rest.
A space where it is safe to lay down your body on the Earth and rest.

I am birthing this space from a desire to co-create an ecosystem that allows us to move at a slower pace & listen to our body. Our current systems & surroundings have historically suppressed the profound wisdom found in Yin: in the deep, the dark, the slow, the soft, the body, the feminine. We as a community can re-awaken this way of being to restore our health, purpose and sense of belonging.
A continual source of co- and self-regulation.
It was in those moments when I seemed to have it all: the relationship, the master degrees, expensive xxx - when I felt more empty, lost & depressed than ever before. This was the start of my descent, down into my body, initiated into the feminine underworld, the world of feeling, death, rebirth, transformation. the way of yin. When I look listen to the women during my yin c fety & a slower pace. I have never met a woman, myself included, who was encouraged to follow her bodies' wisdom, to express her emotions or to choose her own desires over those imposed on her by expectations from family, work or society. But I know it is possible.
'We women who have succeeded in the world are usually 'daughters of the father' - that is, well adapted to a masculine-oriented society - and have repudiated our own full feminine instincts and energy patterns, just as the culture has maimed or derogated most of them.' - Silvia Brinton Perera, Descent to the Goddess
This community will serve as support on our individual journeys back to ourselves, our bodies, our feminine ways of being and doing. Wherever we are on our path, we need to feel held and be witnessed by others. It takes a village to heal & findd

On the descent down into my body, I have shed layers and layers of fears, projections & restrictions. I know what it is like to live life dissociated from your body, your relationships and the larger ecosystem. I know what it is like to be deeply afraid of listening to your body, not ready to act on what it might ask of you. I know what it is like having a vision, but being too overwhelmed to actually birth it into the world.
