I started January 1st with a ritual dedicated entirely to my femininity. At home. For myself. With music. Candles. In front of the mirror. I invited Shiva and Shakti — the masculine and feminine archetypes (Tantra) — to hold space for this ritual.

And once again, they did not disappoint. We really kicked the door wide open to this gateway of the feminine!

Why begin the year with a ritual?

Because I am dedicating this year to deeply exploring my femininity. To discover and integrate those feminine–sensual–sexual parts of me that have never fully stepped into life.

At the moment, I don’t even know exactly what these parts are. I don’t know what emotions, desires, or fears they carry. Do I even have such parts? I’m sure of it. Who doesn’t?

These are feminine expressions, ways of being, ways of showing up that have been hidden until now. Because I haven’t allowed myself to fully express them — without even knowing if I would allow it or not.

Maybe I thought they were… too something. Too much. Too little. Or “not enough of something.” So many thoughts like this circulate in women’s minds. And in mine too.

Why now — in 2026?

Because I feel that the time has come. It’s more than intuition — it’s a certainty: that exploring and integrating the hidden layers of my femininity and sensuality is necessary for my next level of growth and self-fulfillment.

I love these kinds of rituals. They are full of insights, transcendental guidance, liberation, and empowerment. Often, the “downloads” last late into the night.

What changed after this ritual

One of the outcomes of this January 1st experience: the previously mixed (male–female) self-awareness group will now be for women only.

The topic remains the same: self-awareness, healing, breathwork, somatic practices, tantric approaches. But now, because it’s only for women, we can explore even deeper aspects of femininity and sensuality.
