Yoga

Mondays - 7:8:30pm.

Yoga has the power to enrich our lives, by reconnecting us with the source of who we are. It connects us with our bodies, mind and soul.

Wednesday session is more active, strengthening and grounding.

You can read more about my approach to yoga here.

Sound Bath

Wednesday 2nd of July 7-9pm.
at THE HEARTH studio, Selkirk.

This event offers a soothing escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing you to let go of stress and tension while connecting with your inner self.

During this session Pollyana will be using crystal and Himalayan singing bowls, gong, chimes, frame drum and various others instruments that will take into a inner journey of healing, awakening and transformation.

Women's Moon Circle

Wednesday 9th of July  7-9pm.
at THE HEARTH studio, Selkirk.

As the moon enters its Waning Crescent phase in Aquarius, we invite you to gather with us in a nurturing space to take part on sacred sharing, reflect, release, and recharge. The waining crescent is a great time to nurture ourselves and to release what is preventing us to move forwards in our lives. Time to prepare the "terrain" for sowing new seeds at the new moon.

On this day I would love for us to drink a gentle cup of Ceremonial Cacao and to pause to acknowledge parts of ourselves that are struggling, grieving, angry... the parts that we tend to hide away from others.

Together we will:

•Participate in a cleansing ritual to clear negative energy.
•Engage in reflective journaling and share our experiences.
•Create a collective release ceremony, symbolically letting go of our burdens supported by the healing medicine of Ceremonial Cacao.

Our Women's Moon Circle is for anyone looking for a safe space to be, or simply looking to connect with a community of like minded souls.

Yoga, Sauna & Sound Bath with Cedar Hus.

Then we will settle outside for a deeply relaxing sound bath using crystal bowls, voice and chimes.

Wild Woman Gathering

22nd-24th of August

Dear Wild Woman,
This gathering is for you.

For every woman who feels the call of the wild — that quiet whisper from deep within that says, “Awaken. Come home to yourself. Live the life that is truly yours.”

This weekend is for you if you are longing to remember who you were before the world told you who to be.
It is for you if you crave a safe, sacred space to explore your truth, your wildness, your authenticity.
It is for you if your heart yearns for connection — to the land, to nature, to sisterhood.

We will spend the weekend together in the embrace of Phenzhopehaugh, in the Ettrick Valley — gathering in circle, dancing, sharing, and learning about the powerful Wild Woman archetype.
We will root ourselves in ceremony, in story, and in soul — immersed in the beauty of the natural world and in the wisdom we carry within.

You are warmly invited. 
Come as you are.

Empowered - 
online program.

...
(New dates will be released soon)

Empowered is an inspiring and motivational online program that will guide you back home to Self. Together, in community we will do deep and meaningful work to support you in becoming a more grounded, self-assured and empowered woman.

I created Eco Self-Empowerment™ (ESE) with the intention of fostering higher levels of self awareness, self compassion and self certainty in women. The vision is to empower women, through an eco based inside-out approach, to become grounded, centred, powerful agents for change in this crazy changing world.

We need a new approach, one that upholds the feminine, one that rises from the very earth upon which we make our stand.

"The need for connection and community is primal, as fundamental as the need for air, water, and food."   ~Dean Ornish

"I went to the wild woman gathering, and I have to say it has changed my life. 
For the first time in my life I felt safe and comfortable in a group of women, and I felt connected to them and to nature like I never have before.
I would honestly highly recommend any of Pollyana's sessions for anyone looking for self love, connection with nature and for a community of other like minded souls."
