CIRCLES
JOYAA offers small, heart-centred circles held with care, slowness, and relational integrity.
These spaces are designed to support embodied presence, emotional honesty, and shared humanity — inviting participants to listen more deeply to themselves and one another.
Some circles are open to people of all genders.
Others are intentionally held for women only, where depth, safety, and nervous system restoration are best supported in a protected container.
Each circle clearly names its focus, boundaries, and agreements in advance.
Begin with a free opening circle on Wednesday 25 March, then continue as a four-session series.
Love • Sex • Birth • Death
A Women’s Circle
JourneY
the four portals
Where stories become medicine
Four gatherings across eight weeks, exploring the great thresholds of life:
Love • Sex • Birth • Death
Through shared stories, deep listening, and heart-wisdom.
An Invitation
There are moments in life that do not ask to be solved —
they ask to be met.
Love opens us.
Sex awakens us.
Birth changes us.
Death humbles us.
These are not topics to master.
They are thresholds we cross with our whole bodies.
The Four Portals is a women-only circle journey offering a gently held space to explore these great initiations of being human — slowly, honestly, and in the company of other women.
If this journey calls to you, you are joyfully invited to join the free opening circle.
Free Opening Circle
The Four Portals: Standing at the Threshold
A ceremonial salon-style circle for women
Date: Wednesday 25 March 2026
Time: 8-10pm (London)
Format: Live Online (Zoom)

This opening circle is a gentle arrival into the field of the Four Portals.
Together we will explore a miniature version of the Four Portals experience — including conversation, reflection, and witnessing in small groups.
The evening will offer space to:
Arrive and settle into the circle together
Explore one of the portals (Love) through guided reflection
Experience the tone and rhythm of the work
Sense whether the deeper journey calls to you
No preparation is required.
You are welcome to simply come, listen, and take part as much or as little feels good for you.
There is no obligation to continue.

The Four Portals Journey — Paid Series
Following the opening circle, a small group of women will be invited into the full Four Portals journey.
This is a closed circle of four sessions, meeting fortnightly.
Dates: Wednesdays,
8-10pm London, GMT / 3-5pm New York EST
* 8 April * 22 April * 6 May * 20 May 2026
Each circle explores one portal:
Love — attachment, longing, heartbreak, devotion
Sex — desire, boundaries, pleasure, shame, life force
Birth — creation, emergence, becoming
Death — endings, grief, surrender, remembrance
Together we will move slowly through these thresholds with reflection, conversation and witnessing.
Founding Circle Pricing: 4 live salons, 2 hours each
Standard: £67
Earlybird Invitation: £47 (until 1 April 2026)
To support depth and continuity within the circle, the series will be held with a small group of women.
Details about how to join will be shared after the free opening gathering.
Why Women-Only
This circle is held exclusively for women.
The themes explored in the Four Portals — intimacy, sexuality, creation, loss, identity, and becoming — are deeply shaped by women’s embodied, cultural, and relational lives.
This container is intentionally women-only to support:
Nervous system safety
Emotional honesty
Depth of listening
Freedom from self-monitoring
This is not a space for fixing, performing, or bypassing — but for presence.
Future mixed-gender offerings will be shared separately.
