Beyond Survival: The Mother Alchemy circle


🌿 The Mother ( Woman) Alchemy circle is a 6-Week Therapeutic Women's Circle for Deep Self-Reclamation and the Wild self.


A Soul-Deep Space for Women Tired of "Holding It All Together"

MOTHER in this work is reframed, reclaimed, and remembered back to its TRUE Definition. Sovereignty vs Servitude.


You carry so so much, for your family, your career, and the pain of the world. If you sense there’s more to this path than just survival, and if something within you is whispering to be reclaimed, this is your sign. we enter this spiral again and again , with deeper consciousness each time.


The 🌿 Beyond Survival: The Mother Alchemy circle is an intentionally gentle, soul-deep space for women who crave depth over doing


Over six weeks, we gather as a small sangha (sacred circle), walking an Ancient Mother Spiral a path of remembering, not fixing. This is not a course to master or a task to complete; it is a soft,( and fierce) therapeutic descent into your truth. We walk into the mystery of the moment. This circle is infused with the teachings of Marion Woodman and her feminine path of Individuation. Marion arrived on my path from the "Virgin" territory and quite synchnronistically to come and offer me a holding hand for how i evolve the Ancient Mother Spiral.


You don't need to be whole or healed to begin. You dont even need to feeel "ready", just willing to not navigate this ALONE. You only need to feel the quiet pull toward inner re-alignment. to relearn the contemplative wisdom of Inter-Being- , the ancient wisdom of WE ..


This circle is grounded in both professional trauma-informed support and deep contemplative practice. You will be lovingly guided by a therapist experienced in supporting women through transition, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion And discover our active ways to converse with the wisdom of your Soul. SOUL work is SLOW WORK, so we take all pressures off and we BREATHE..


IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A PARENT ; a WOMAN NEEDS OTHER WOMEN


Each weekly session provides contemplative practices for anchoring the spiral into daily life, with embodied poetic non-dual meditations by Maria:



  • Contemplative Presence: Guided practices to step out of constant 'doing' and anchor fully in the present moment, increasing self-awareness.

  • Be introduced into the Teachings and philosophy of the Ancient Mother Spiral Rites of Passage, to accompany you as map of holding and containing in the future, beyond the circle.


  • Myth & Archetype Exploration: We explore universal stories and embodied teachings to help you see who you are beneath the roles of mother, professional, or caretaker.


  • Rituals & Tools: Learn simple, powerful rituals and tools to bring the healing back into your home, moving from theoretical knowledge to practical, daily embodiment.


  • Deep Witnessing: Experience sharing without pressure to perform. This intimate setting (max 8 women) ensures a safe space where you are simply witnessed and held.

  • Weaving the wisdom of Marion Woodman, Joanna Macy and more of my influences to enrich your experiences..


We will use trauma informed principles and wholness informed ways of being to track the micro shifts of your internal states. By learning to lsiten to the body's signals from the bottom up you will slowly be able to open up , hold paradox, and tolerate complex emotional states without disconnecting.



This Intimate Healing Circle is For the Woman Who 


  • Is Tired of Isolation: The mother, creative, or professional who is tired of holding it all alone.

  • Seeks Depth: The woman who longs to move past surface-level interactions and find depth over doing.

  • Knows Healing is Remembering: The part of you that recognizes healing is remembering, not a mechanical fix.

  • Needs Gentle Support: The woman seeking professional guidance through overwhelm and inner transition in a held and gentle space

  • IS Ready for a dive into the Spiral to begin integrating into her life and wishes to become part of the movement in time.

TESTIMONIALS


"Maria was an incredible, wise, accepting and compassionate therapist. She helped me to see my body and mind in a non-pathologising way, and to learn to trust my body as my truest guide in life. She taught me that I can listen to deepest thoughts and feelings and they can be messages of wisdom rather that something to fight. Her approach was really beautiful and nuturing"


"I have a stronger sense of the truth being within me, and a sense of there being no wrong or right answer to things I’d have always looked towards research/backed sources."


" Thank you Maria,

You have had a profound positive effect on my life

For me, the AMS was a really cosy space to huddle together and release myself from the shackles of grief that motherhood brought. I was able to journey through a process of letting go and re-planting something beautiful in the ashes that remained. I started a new relationship as a result of this Spiral. It is a relationship with myself and she may just be the love of my life

Thank you x" Elle


"It is my honor and a great privilege to offer these words of praise and recognition for this hard-won and unique gift to mothers. We are a vast part of the population, and yet often the least supported in ways that truly assist us in becoming fuller expressions of ourselves as women—through motherhood.

The generosity, acceptance, and openness that held this circle met each woman exactly as she was. That presence pierced me, helping me see the places where I am still holding, still judging myself, and still leaning too heavily into fixing rather than allowing understanding, patience, and compassion to emerge. In that mirror, openness revealed its counterpart ~ contraction ~ and that, too, was welcomed.

It was rare medicine to hear each woman’s voice echoed back to her in such a way that she could recognize her own expanded wisdom, truth, and beauty braided into her own words. No woman was diminished or ruled over by fixing or by the offering of answers. Instead, each was met with deep listening and respect.

This experience softened places in me that once, wisely chose to guard, to not trust.  The work offered here is profoundly needed in this world, and its impact reaches far beyond the circle itself.

With deep gratitude and respect, 

Lila"

My Story

In 2019, my own fire became my medicine. A profound consciousness shift into the I AM initiated a two-year "Dark Night of the Soul." and a treacherous collapse of my Identity.

It wasn't a clinical crisis; it was an answer. It was the absolute dissolution of my own perpetual seeking. Seeking since then left me and i felt Liberated, navigating a spiral journey into the isness of my life, deepening in the dissolution of all separation.

 

Ever since the Journey has deepened, revealed my own Dharma in Life throught the Map-less map of the Ancient Mother Spiral. The journey continued with deeper dissolution experiences, fatigue and burn out unmasking of neurodivergence and motherhood frictions... but continued with ever deepening faith in the Surrender .

I have resisted to bring this active Inquiry to life because as a separate service as  I am very very sober about glorification of Teachers and gurufication.

I do not call myself a Teacher but a mirror. I m here to point you to who you ARE beyond samsara.. but NOT by denying the human pain. 

The , "Honeyed Vessel" in the Ancient Mother Spiral 

There is an intelligence that hums beneath the roles we play. It is older than our names, deeper than our wounds, and more constant than our stories. For a long time, I lived within the maps of "becoming"; the therapist, the mother, the migrant, the seeker. But Life, in its fierce and loving grace, eventually burned those maps away. And in that burning revealed my INNER MAP LESS MAP. My life's dharma and body of work also encompassed in the Ancient Mother Spiral. Self Inquiry was simply the FIRE  i practiced for over 17 years that burnt away all illusions to reveal within me, after the SHIVA consciousness ( I AM) the SHAKTI and primordial energy that lives in my bones and marrow. 

What remained was not a "better version" of myself, but a hollowed-out space. A  Honeyed vessel.

You are SO VAST like the SKY.. 

No more hiding

No more waiting

Enter the Inner vastness of your Deepest Heart and Hold the Globe in your veins

Art by Rashani Réa I have the Deepest Honour to call my Emergent Teacher- Soul Sister from the Depths of Wu Wei. I bow to the Mystery that we ARE
