For mothers & birth partners

A welcoming, nurturing space for expectant mothers and their birth partners to come together, slow down, and prepare for birth — mind, body and spirit.

Led by a full-spectrum doula alongside a Prenatal Yoga Teacher, this workshop offers practical, hands-on and holistic tools to support pregnancy, labour and birth.

Together, we explore ways to stay calm, centred and empowered, while deepening trust, connection and presence between partners. This is a space for partners to truly understand their role — how to hold space, offer physical and emotional support, and move through birth as a grounded, steady presence. The workshop is inclusive of home birth, hospital birth and planned or possible caesarean birth.

What we’ll explore:

✨ The role of the birth partner before and during labour & birth

✨ Supporting the body’s natural rhythms and physiology of birth

✨ Practical tools: peanut ball, rebozo, hanging rope, massage & pressure points

✨ Birth positions to create space and support baby through different stages

✨ Understanding labour sensations and working with intensity

✨ Breathing practices for pregnancy, labour and birth

✨ Creating safety, softness and surrender in birth

✨ Finding empowerment within the birth system

✨ Bodily autonomy, consent and informed choices

✨ Making decisions from a place of clarity and trust

✨ …and much more

An immersive afternoon of yang-to-yin yoga held in live soundscape, closing with a nourishing vegan food at Oca London.

Sunday 1 st March 2-5 pm

What to expect:

The journey begins with a thoughtfully guided yang-to-yin yoga practice led by Monica

The dynamic yang phase gently awakens strength, mobility and energy.

Before melting into grounding yin postures that invite stillness, deep release and

inner listening.

This movement practice is held within a continuous live soundscape journey by Pete, Ian and Kat.

Together, they create a deeply relaxing soundscape, weaving a rich tapestry of tones through handpan, didgeridoo, gongs, singing bowls and more.

Expect a dynamic landscape of frequencies that soothe the body, calm the nervous system, and nourish the mind. Throughout the practice, sound serves as a steady companion, enhancing relaxation, presence and integration.

The experience closes with a shared meal of home-cooked vegan food by Gabi, offering time to eat together and savour a sense of community.

A beautiful event lovingly curated by Monica and Gabi for a deep and powerful lasting effect. An immersive three-hour experience designed to restore balance, vitality, and inner calm. 

Leave feeling  nourished inside and out.

Take a seat at Persephone’s table and feast on the nourishment of food, poetry, story, and shared creativity as we honour the turning of the seasons.

As part of celebrating International Women’s Day, The Women’s Fire invites you into a joyful evening of communal feasting and mythic remembrance. Inspired by the story of Persephone, through our creativity we honour the myths, stories and archetypes that have carried the power of descent and return.

Why Persephone?

Persephone is the playful maiden above ground and dark sensual queen below. Throughout winter we have been in Persephone’s underworld domain, crawling through the dark, curling up in caves, resting in the quiet of winter. Like Persephone herself, we have been shaped by what we’ve encountered there: grief and growth, endings and insight, hidden strength waiting to be claimed.

Yet the first signs of spring begin to stir, the light innocence of the maiden. So we gather to harvest the gold and glimmers from our time below and to prepare the ground for what is ready to rise. This is a space to witness each other's creative expression, to learn from our experiences of descent, darkness or time in the underworld whilst celebrating the emergence of spring. 

What to expect

Feast: Persephone’s Feast is a co-created potluck supper. Each person brings a dish to share. Something nourishing, seasonal, comforting, or symbolic. Together we will create a shared table, rich with food and meaning.

Storytelling: To welcome us more deeply into embodying our own experiences of descent and return, there will be a re-telling of Persephone's myth to permeate our bodies, hearts and souls with the gifts of the underworld.

Co-Create Cabaret: You bring the entertainment! Alongside the meal, the evening will unfold as an immersive cabaret-style sharing with poetry, music, movement, ritual  and a few surprises. These offerings don’t need to be polished or perfect. They are about witnessing one another, listening deeply, and offering our creativity on the altar of our mythic muses.

Dress Invitation: You are warmly invited to come dressed in a mythic expression, honouring Persephone, the underworld, feminine archetypes or myths that represent the threshold between darkness and light, or perhaps your own descent and return. 

The Practicals:

• Arrive at 4pm sharp!

• Bring something to contribute to the potluck.

• Dress as your own mythic expression

• Get in touch (info below) about sharing something in the co-created cabaret

• This event is open to women's fire members and their friends

If you have something you’d definitely like to include in the cabaret, email alana@truenature.org.uk with a little description and any tech details/needs. There will be a spaces reserved on the night for impromptu offerings, but messaging ahead in advance with your expression of interest for sharing something will helps us plan accordingly and curate a journey of creative expression.

This is a feast for the senses, the soul, and the season, a remembering that spring does not arrive without winter, and that our descent has meaning. Come as you are. Bring a dish. Bring a story. Bring what winter has shaped in you. Spring is waiting.

Dissolving is an experiential anatomic journey session that Julia has been developing since her Master's at Trinity Laban. It is where, through touch, visualisation, pelvic floor and pelvis research based on movements, brings interconnectivity. Through improvisation, the participant gets in touch with their sensations and self-awareness. 

Dissolving is based on diverse dance somatic movement techniques such as Body-Mind Centring, Physical Theatre and Passing Through - the invitation is to Google the terms if you’re not familiar with them, or get in touch.

Dissolving can be incorporated alongside a Creative Process, Performance Making, Therapeutic approach, Body and anatomy sensation enthusiasts.

Just before COVID, many group sessions, as well as 121 sessions, happened in London. During COVID, it had an update to work through Zoom. Ever since, Dissolving travelled to dance studios in the UK, Brazil, Denmark and now in Italy.  

This is a group session for all ages, all levels.

Recommended to bring a towel because we get sweaty, as well as layers. 

Julia has been using Dissolving to create photography, installations, sculptures, performances, poetry, and drawings for the last 9 years.  

Journey of the Soul 2pm-5pm. 

“The soul faithfully comes to our aid through dreams, deep emotion, love, the quiet voice of guidance, synchronicities, revelations, hunches, and visions, and at times through illness, nightmares, and terrors.” 
― Bill Plotkin, Nature and the Human Soul: Cultivating Wholeness and Community in a Fragmented World
