For generations, women have gathered to share wisdom, support, and strength. When I look back at the ancient cultures and communities that I draw inspiration from and revere (Celtic, South African, Peruvian and more), they recognized how much power resided in women coming together. Gatherings are historically spiritual spaces of empowerment and healing, particularly those led by women. In our modern society, intentional shared spaces allow us to pause and reconnect with practices of self-reflection, mindfulness, and mutual support. Women’s gatherings allow us to honor the wisdom of our past, connect to our intuition and each other in the present, and create ripples of healing for the future.

Sharing my mental health journey

I only started learning about the Goddess Durga about 6 months ago. I can’t remember what started my curiosity, but what resonated with me was that she is presented as “Shakti”, or the female principle of divine energy.

Kolkata is what I imagined, but oh so much more too. Originally, I didn’t even consider the city as one of my stops, but I am so glad I did, as it has resulted in a love for yet another fascinating city.

I have questioned my life purpose for as long as I can remember. I have jumped around between so many different hobbie, interests and careers.
