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.
A live exploration of Love, Sex, Birth & Death
A small, intimate circle to explore the deeper currents of connection—through the body, through relationship, and through real experience.
4 sessions over 8 weeks, we move through four thresholds
Love, Sex, Birth & Death
Starting Wednesday 15th April 8-10pm BST (London)
A Women’s Circle
JourneY
The Four Portals are living energies that shape how you open, attach, desire, protect and transform
This circle may be for you if….
You’re tired of understanding your patterns… but still living them
You notice similar dynamics repeating in love, family, or work
You hold a lot for others, but rarely feel truly met yourself
You find it hard to receive support, rest, or care without guilt
You’re navigating change—an ending, a beginning, or a quiet inner turning
You sense something in your life is ready to shift, even if you can’t fully name how
You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.
There are many ways we try to understand these experiences.
More rarely, do we have spaces to meet them, together
the four portals
Where stories become medicine
Through shared stories, deep listening, and the quiet power of being witnessed in a loving space.
Four gatherings across eight weeks, exploring the great thresholds of life:
Love • Sex • Birth • Death
Meeting each portal over two weeks
—one to enter, one to integrate.
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.
The Four Portals: Standing at the Threshold
At our intro gathering, women gathered from across the world.
Joining us from the UK, Canada, Alaska, Egypt and Hungary.
Each arriving at her own threshold.
Meeting what is shifting, ending and beginning.
Something real moved in that space.
Join us on 15 April as we start, together.
Experience conversation, reflection, and witnessing in small groups.
The sessions will offer space to:
Arrive and settle into the circle together
Explore one of the portals each week through guided reflection
Experience the tone and rhythm of the work
Sense what is calling you at this time
No preparation is required.
You are welcome to simply come, listen, and take part as much or as little feels good for you.
You’re welcome to simply come and listen — there’s no expectation to share unless you feel ready.
what you may begin to notice:
Pausing before saying yes when you mean no
Speaking more simply and honestly
Feeling less responsible for others’ emotions
Recognising familiar patterns a little earlier
Allowing yourself to receive support, rather than deflect it
Subtle. Lived. Ongoing.

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.
If you feel a quiet resonance reading this—
you’re warmly invited to join the opening circle.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
Just a sense that something in you is ready.
