There are moments where life invites us to pause…
to feel…
to notice what’s really going on inside.

This Full Moon in Libra is one of those moments.

It shines a light on our relationships:
with others and with ourselves.

It can reveal where we’ve been:
– over-giving
– holding things in
– avoiding saying what we really feel
– or losing connection with our own needs

And underneath all of that… there is something important.

Your truth.
Your boundaries.
Your emotions - including anger, as a natural and healthy part of being human.
Your ability to choose what feels right for you.

Next Thursday, we gather for a special Soma Groove Full Moon Ceremony - a guided space to reconnect with yourself through the body.

You don’t need any experience.
You don’t need to know how to dance.
You don’t need to be “spiritual.”

Just bring yourself.

Through simple, guided practices, we’ll explore:
– movement
– breath
– emotional expression
– music
– stillness and integration

Everything is optional, and you’ll always be guided at your own pace.

📍 Cristaland, Lagos
🗓 Thursday, April 2nd
🕖 19:00–21:00

If you’ve been feeling something shifting, or simply want to take a moment for yourself… this is a beautiful space to do that.

You’re welcome exactly as you are.

You understand your patterns.

You’ve reflected on them.
You’ve talked about them.
You’ve probably journaled about them.

And yet… sometimes they still repeat.

The same emotional reactions.
The same relationship dynamics.
The same inner conflicts.

At some point the question appears:

“I what am I not getting?”

This is something I’ve witnessed again and again working with people over the years.

Because many of the patterns that keep us stuck don’t actually live in the mind.

They live in the body and nervous system.

Which means insight alone isn’t always enough to create change.

The body has its own language.
Its own intelligence.

And when we begin to listen to it, something shifts.

The loop loosens.
More space appears.
New choices become possible.

So I’m opening a free 75-minute online masterclass to explore this together.

Break the Inner Loop
Why you can’t think your way out of stuck patterns and how the body unlocks freedom.

📅 Saturday, April 4
🕥 10:30am Lisbon time
🌍 Live online (replay available)

If something in you resonates reading this, you can register through the link in my bio.

And if someone comes to mind while reading this, feel free to share it with them.

Sometimes the first step in breaking the loop…
is simply recognizing it.

05/03/2026

You can understand your patterns and still live them.
You can know your attachment style, your childhood dynamics, your triggers — and still find yourself reacting in the moments that matter most.
Because insight is not the same as integration.
Patterns don’t live in your thoughts.
They live in your body.
You can’t think your way out of something your nervous system is still holding.
It shows up in the way your chest tightens before you speak.
In the way you overextend without noticing.
In the way you shut down when intimacy feels too close.
Real change isn’t about trying harder.
It’s not about controlling yourself better.
It’s about expanding your capacity to be with what is.
To stay present with discomfort.
To stay open in intensity.
To feel without collapsing or armouring.
To stop fighting yourself —
and start living from alignment.
That is the work inside Coming Home.
A 3-month therapeutic and somatic space for people who feel the charge of “it’s time.”
Not because they are broken.
But because they are ready.
If something in you is activated reading this — notice it.
And if it’s your time, you know what to do.
DM “HOME.”

There comes a moment when understanding yourself is no longer enough.

You know your patterns.
You’ve read the books.
Maybe you’ve done therapy.
You’ve been on the path for a while.

And yet… something in the body is still bracing.

You can see the patterns,
but they still live somewhere in the nervous system.

This is the place where many people arrive before real integration.

Where the next step isn’t more insight.

It’s embodiment.

Coming Home was created for this moment.

Last year I guided the first edition, and what happened inside that space was deeply moving.
Many participants described it as life-changing, not because something was fixed, but because something softened.

They began to feel themselves again.
More spacious. More aware. More loving. More present.
More able to see what needed care…and how to meet it.

This second edition is an evolved version of that journey.

Over 3 months we move through a slow and powerful arc of embodiment, emotional healing and nervous system capacity.

Working with the body.
With emotions.
With the inner child and the parts that still carry old stories.

Not to become someone else.

But to return to yourself.

My work lives at the intersection of curiosity and embodiment.

An embodiment catalyst & curious explorer of body, life force and truth … and sharing what I’m learning about being human.

If something in you recognizes this…

If you are curious … embrace it! Comment “HOME” and let’s feel if it’s a right fit for you ❤️

We begin April 12

Are you ready to come home to yourself?

27/02/2026

I’m not in a gentle expansion.

I’m in an beast and honest one.

There is so much aliveness inside me right now.
Erotic energy.
Grief, sadness.
But also clarity, and power.

I’m grieving parts of myself I didn’t honor for years.
Needs I silenced.
Boundaries I softened.
Truths I delayed.

I just ended a relationship.
Not from drama — but from love and growth.

And at the same time, my body is shifting.
Perimenopause is not subtle.

It’s like something ancient inside me is saying:
No more postponing.
No more negotiating with your truth.
No more abandoning yourself to stay comfortable.

Expansion at this stage of life is different.

It’s not about becoming louder.
It’s about becoming truer.

And that doesn’t feel glamorous.

It feels both like a rush and numbness in the body.
Like tension and space in the nervous system.
Like grief and sadness moving through the chest.
Like desire waking up where stagnation used to live.
It’s about becoming an embodied paradox - can i hold it all at once?

Erotic aliveness isn’t performance.
It’s pure power and life force weaved in ultimate presence.

It’s feeling everything you avoided feeling —
and staying.

This is me, and this is what and from where I share.
This is the work inside Coming Home.

Not surface empowerment.
Not bypassing discomfort.

But building the inner safety to hold your truth.
To stabilize your next identity.
To embody the life you say you want — without collapsing when it stretches you.

If you’re in the upgrade… you’ll feel it.

Not as excitement.
But as inevitability.

As the quiet knowing that you can’t go back to who you were.

And if you feel that — you’re ready for this level of work.

Coming Home is open. We start our journey in April 12.
Comment “HOME” and I’ll tell you more.

SOMA GROOVE — MONTHLY SESSION
Cristaland, Lagos
Thursday 26th February

This is not a dance class.
It’s a decision.

A decision to stop numbing.
To stop over-thinking.
To stop shrinking.

Soma Groove is a guided somatic movement journey where you meet yourself in motion as well as in stillness.

We move through power.
Through vulnerability.
Through anger.
Through sensuality.
Through softness.
Through true authenticity.
Through the parts you usually keep contained.

No choreography.
No performance.
No pretending.

Just your body telling the truth.

If you’ve been carrying too much…
If you’re tired of looping the same patterns…
If you’re ready to take your power back into your own hands…

Be in the room.

📍 Cristaland — Lagos
🗓 Thursday 26th February
⏰ 7-9pm
Limited spots.
More info & sign up through the link in bio ❤️

This space is intimate.
Raw.
Held.

You don’t need to be a dancer.
You need to be willing.

No caption can be enough.
Thank you dear cycle breakers for walking this path with me.
May this poem touch you as deeply as it did me.

🌑 New Moon Ceremony by Soma Groove
This Sunday at Mandala · Sagres • 7-9pm

Sagres is wild nature, movement, surf, yoga, skate, fitness.
But what if there’s more?

What if we slow down…
listen…
and meet ourselves beneath the surface?

This Sunday, Soma Groove meets a New Moon Ceremony — held at Mandala, my home, my community.

An embodied gathering to pause, come home to the body and be met in connection.

Under the New Moon, we let go of noise and expectations.
We move from truth, not performance.
We arrive as we are — and that is enough.

This is a container where all parts of you are welcome.
Where you don’t have to hold it all alone.
Where you are supported and supporting, simply by being present.

Through breath, somatics, free movement, dance, voice, emotional exploration, shadow work, and shared reflection, we explore what’s ready to be felt, expressed, released, or invited in — through the body.

This isn’t about dancing “well” or having the longest breath hold…
It’s about listening.
Feeling.
Remembering that the body holds what the mind forgets.

For who?
For the curious.
For those wanting deeper self-connection.
For anyone craving real community, safety and authenticity.
No experience needed — just an open heart.

Guided by me, Vanda — part of this land, this community — inviting you into a space that feels like home.

🌑 Feel. Be. Connect.
Are you ready to step in?

When life feels… A LOT

The festive season can be magical — and it can also feel overwhelming, triggering, lonely, chaotic or just A LOT.

And with that in mind I decided to create and share When It Gets A Lot: gentle somatic practices, meditations and explorations to help you come back to yourself when your body and nervous system feel full.

💛 Originally part of the Coming Home program, now opened to the wider community.
💛 3 months access — move at your own pace
💛 €33

This is not a program. There’s no “should” here. Only a safe space to soften, regulate, and return to your own ground.
Give yourself or a loved one a true gift, one of self-love, presence and nourishment. One of coming back to your true home: your heart and your body.

Comment ALOT to get all the info directly ❤️

Embrace Your Inner Creator

Every one of us carries a creative pulse.
A quiet, ancient rhythm that lives in the body long before it becomes a thought.
Creativity isn’t something you “do.”
It’s something you remember.
It’s something you return to.

It reveals itself in the small, sacred moments of living:
• The way you stop to admire the geometry of a leaf
• The words that spill out of you when you’re honest
• The way your body moves when you stop performing and start listening
• The immersion of a book that feels like a doorway
• The tenderness of tending to a garden
• The instinct to make your home feel like a sanctuary
• The presence that turns cooking into a ritual
• The way you dress when you’re not trying to impress, only to express

But we often lose this natural flow.
We chase perfection, rush toward the final result, or try to get everything “right.”
And in that rush, the nervous system tightens.
The body closes.
Creativity retreats.

Somatics and Polyvagal wisdom remind us of something simple and profound:
Creativity is a state of being — not a performance.

It blooms in safety, in connection, in presence.
In the ventral vagal state where the body feels open, grounded, receptive.
From there, creativity becomes a living thing again — effortless, intuitive, true.

This is the essence of Soma Groove.

Movement that softens the armor.
Breath that opens the inner gates.
Embodiment that brings you home to the creative intelligence already living inside you.

Share with me in the comments:
What creative expression is calling you back this year?

If you want to begin the new year differently — with more depth, more expression, more aliveness — there are many paths we can walk together:
retreats, group sessions, 1:1s, and online programs, may this be your landing.
— the link in my bio has everything.
Your next chapter begins in your body.
And it begins now.

🌕 FULL MOON GROOVE — Supermoon in Gemini
Thursday • 7–9 PM • Cristaland Dome, Lagos

This Thursday we gather under a Moon we’ll only see again in 2042 — the final Supermoon of the decade.
A Cold Supermoon rising higher, brighter, closer than we’ve felt in nearly 20 years: a powerful celestial moment.

And this time, the Moon sits in Gemini — making its energy sharp, clear, undeniable.
Expect:
• sudden realizations
• mental breakthroughs
• truth surfacing
• clarity around decisions
• important conversations that matter

This Moon isn’t gentle.
It’s a mirror.
It shows what your soul can no longer carry:
habits draining your energy, patterns blocking your growth, emotions you’ve hidden away, cycles you’re meant to release.

Under this Moon, something ends.
Something clears.
Something reveals — so you can finally set yourself free.

FULL MOON GROOVE is a somatic ritual: movement, breath, embodiment, release — under the lunar light.
But not under a cold sky. We gather inside the magical dome of Cristaland.
A warm fire burning inside. Soft shelter around us.
Sacred container. Safety. Depth. Heart. Body. Soul.

Thursday | 7–9 PM | Cristaland Dome, Lagos
Come as you are.
Leave lighter, clearer, more aligned.

Sign up now- link in bio.
Limited spots — the Moon (and the fire) wait for no one.
