ASHBY WOMEN'S CIRCLE Friday 5th June, 5.30 - 7.30 pm

Mez and Carolyn warmly invite you to our monthly Ashby Women’s Circle on Friday 5th June from 5.30 - 7.30pm.

Our theme this month is 'Belonging' ; to ourselves, to one another and within all the spaces we move every day. At different moments in our lives many of us are looking for meaningful ways to belong. Each woman has her own unique story and experience of what belonging means to them.

Our intention, as always, is for the evening to be a chance to reflect, share and listen to one another.

The approach of winter is a perfect time to slow down and allow ourselves to rest and restore. For many, it is a season of inner reflection and enquiry and one question we might ask ourselves is "What does belonging mean to me?"

Our circle is open to all women and entry is by donation. Please send us a message if you have any questions or if you plan to come along.💛

Its time to gather again for our monthly women’s circle that is happening this Sunday 26th April .

We gather in the energy of autumn — a season of release and quiet preparation for the inward spiral of winter.

This is the threshold between seasons, where we can begin preparing for the deeper stillness of winter — both in the natural world and in the seasons of a woman’s life as she inevitably enters into her elder years .

In this circle we invite you to experience a journey to meet your elder woman self.
This practice is beautiful and powerful way to manifest insightfulness into your elder woman , your crone energy, explore aging with grace, embrace wisdom, and cultivate self-compassion..... to see aging as a positive chapter not something to be feared .

Through reflection and shared space, we’ll listen for her voice, gather what truly matters, and begin shaping the path that leads you there.

All women are welcome 💚

When :SUNDAY 26th April
Where : Shalom studio Ashby
Time: 4-6 pm

HELLO WOMEN OF THE CLARENCE VALLEY COMMUNITY

It's time to invite you to our next Ashby Women's Circle on Friday 13th March from 5.30 - 7.30 pm.

The Wheel of the Year is turning towards the Autumn Equinox on 21st March, The Equinox is a time of perfect balance between light and dark, ideal for setting intentions focused on gratitude and embracing grounding inward-focused energy for the coming winter months.

Our theme this month is "Creating Stillness in a Chaotic World." In a time of alarming headlines and in the often hurried rhythm of our lives, we come together to pause, slow down, and reconnect. We will share our joys, our anxieties and our resources supporting one another to find or reclaim a sense of calm and centredness.

It's helpful for us to have an idea of numbers so please let us know if you plan to come along. All women are welcome whether or not you have attended one of our circles before.

For those of you for whom Friday evenings are difficult, the following Circle will be held on Sunday 12th April from 3 - 6 pm.

Please feel free to share this invitation with any other women who may like to join us.

With love from us both,

Mez and Carolyn

Hello beautiful women ,
For many moons now I have held a deep passion for the pelvis. Women’s pelvis.

This space is more than anatomy. It is our foundation — supporting our organs, stabilising our spine, quietly influencing how safe and at home we feel in our bodies and how we manifest and
create our inner and outer worlds .
In yogic philosophy, this space relates to Muladhara ......our base energy centre of safety and belonging.....and Svadhisthana, the centre of creativity, our sensuality ,our eros and emotional flow.

But beyond philosophy and energetics , this is lived experience.

The pelvis works in relationship with the diaphragm, the throat ...... the deep abdominals the nervous system and so much more , . It is intelligent tissue. It deserves attention....
When we disconnect from the pelvis we often feel discomfort in our hips, lower back......we feel the sense of dysregulation........a disconnection from our essence .
When we reconnect, breath deepens, awareness and strength becomes integrated, we regain a sense of feeling centered and grounded.

In my classes and one on one sessions we explore this through embodied movement, breath, respectful strengthening and connecting with the subtle energy's contained within the space of the female container .

If you’re curious about reconnecting with this powerful centre, I would love to welcome you.

Women of the Clarence Valley
Carolyn and I warmly welcome you back to our monthly Ashby Women’s Circle.
This will be our second year holding space for these gatherings, and feel more than ever in these rapidly changing times, these circles provide a precious support system for feminine connection, friendship & sisterhood.

To be truly seen and heard is a rare gift and when it is held by other women, it becomes deeply nourishing and healing.
Shared challenges can bring comfort, and witnessing the courage, dreams, and wisdom of another woman brings inspiration.

We would love to welcome you into our open circle as we come together and build supportive and loving relationships with our community of women. We welcome all women, whether you have joined us before or this is your first circle.
Please let us know if you intend to join us so we can prepare to welcome you

Shalom Studio has just received a deep cleanse, ready for another year of welcoming in new energy and more offerings of embodied, supportive practices for women.

At present 2 weekly practices are being offered.

HATHA YOGA
Tuesdays 9.30–11am

A steady, supportive practice where we focus on posture, mobility, breath and body awareness. Classes move at a gentle pace, with options to modify postures to suit changing bodies and individual needs.

NOURISHING THE CORE & PELVIC GROUND
Thursdays 9.30–11am

The focal point of these classes being the pelvic ground, the deep core and associated muscles of the pelvis that support and stabilise.This practice is an invitation for all women who would like to deepen their awareness and improve the health, vitality and function of their pelvic space.

Both classes are suitable for women of all ages, with particular care for those recovering from injury, navigating stiffness or reduced mobility, and for women in pre & post pregnancy, menopause, or experiencing mild prolapse.

Shalom studio is a pleasant 20 so minute drive from Maclean and Yamba. Situated in Ashby hills set amongst natural bushland it offers a beautiful space to come home to your body, leaving you feeling grounded, centred and connected .🍂🌱🌿🤎

As this year opens..... like every year ....I’ve been reflecting on a” word” that I wish to give more energy and embodiment to.

The word that keeps returning for me is kindness and how it has the ability to soften judgement, and bring more ease into how I meet myself and others.
It reminds me to breath, listen more deeply and to honour the rhythms of my body and nervous system.

I also wish for this intention of kindness to ripple through my offerings this year — my classes, bodywork treatments, workshops and circles and the evolving final stages of Shalom Retreat which I hope to share soon.

So I'm making this year about fire horses, planetary shifts, number 1"s ....and ......kindness !

Wishing you all kindness and ease as we move into 2026 and the new beginnings that are unfolding for us all .

A welcoming invitation to women of the Clarence Valley ,
Carolyn and Mez would like to invite you to join our monthly CIRCLE OF SISTERHOOD gathering .

Our open circle offers women of all ages a sanctuary in which we can withdraw from the world for just a couple of hours to honour and celebrate ourselves and one another as women.

This is a space where we can discuss women’s issues, share stories, support each other’s journeys and create a circle of support, love, fun & friendship. Our intention is to co create an intimate space where everything shared and heard is confidential, where we can voice what is arising for us without fear of judgment.
This is a space where we share our wisdom and insights, our joys and pain, and be held, seen and heard within the loving presence of other women.

We would love to welcome you as we come together to rest , renew and build supportive and loving relationships with our community of women.

A few weeks ago Carolyn Dew and I had the honour of holding ceremonial space for 5 young women celebrating their rite of passage into womanhood.
Such a significant symbolic afternoon.

Deep bow to the mothers and friends who came to honour , celebrate and bless their daughters transition into the cyclic journey of womanhood .
May it create a continuity across generations to come .🙏❤️
