What we Carry
Shaima Don
North London, Archway, N6
For women carrying more than they've ever said out loud — grief, anger, mothering, ageing parents, and what stops here…
As women, much of what we bring is grief, though we don't always call it that — not only the losses with names, but the quieter ones nobody gave us permission to mourn.
We also sit with anger, mothering, family relationships and estrangement, caring for ageing parents, finding safety in yourself, and what we inherited and what stops here.
Every circle opens with a short meditation, then makes space for truth, for listening, and for movement. Each month has its own theme, published a year in advance.
I'm Shaima, a body-mind maturation coach, somatic and meditation teacher, and Family Constellations practitioner trained in the Hellinger tradition in Germany. My practice is trauma-informed, with further training through The Embody Lab, and I came to this after years in Fortune 500 corporate life.
Places are limited so everyone has time to speak. In person £20, online £15, with concession places at every gathering. Anyone who identifies as a woman is welcome. No experience needed — you don't have to speak, and you don't have to arrive with anything sorted.
This is a peer circle, not therapy or crisis support.
