6 Week Circling Cohort
This 6-week Circling Cohort offered by Mahaya is an intimate and transformative journey designed for those familiar with the practice of Circling and wishing to delve deeper into their personal growth. Limited to just five participants, this unique experience offers a safe, supportive space to explore your inner world and relational patterns while being held in profound presence.
We meet once a week for 2 hours on Zoom to engage in the powerful practice of Circling, bringing awareness to what is alive in the moment and allowing authentic connections to emerge. This is not an educational course—it’s an immersive, experiential process where profound emotional healing, personal breakthroughs, and transformation unfold through presence, awareness, and connection.
Why Circling in a Closed Group?
When practicing Circling with the same group over an extended period, something powerful happens. The depth of safety and trust that develops allows for a greater capacity to show up authentically, to be seen and heard in ways that spark real transformation. It is in this continuity, this shared relational journey, that the biggest personal breakthroughs occur.
What You’ll Experience
- Deepened Sense of Safety: Circling with the same group each week, you have the opportunity to build strong relational bonds, allowing you to feel safer to open up, share vulnerably, and explore yourself more fully.
- Profound Connection: The consistent group container creates a fertile ground for cultivating deep, authentic connection—not only with others, but also with yourself.
- Powerful Breakthroughs: This immersion is designed for those who are ready for more—more awareness, more growth, more emotional freedom.
What’s Included
- 6 weekly group Zoom sessions, each lasting 2 hours.
- A small, intimate group of max 5 people.
- A field of deep presence that supports emotional healing and transformation.
- Ongoing support from Mahaya as a skilled facilitator with a decade of experience in the healing arts.

Embodying the Whole Self: 6 week Parts Work Journey
Are you ready to connect more deeply with all the parts of yourself—those you celebrate, and those you’ve hidden away? Do you seek emotional freedom and a deeper level of self-acceptance?
Embodying the Whole Self is an immersive, experiential group journey designed to help you unlock the wisdom and gifts within your inner parts. Through dynamic practices, you’ll directly experience and embody these parts, opening the door to greater self-awareness, healing, and wholeness.
Course Overview
In this 6-week cohort, we will dive deep into parts work, but with a unique, experiential twist. Rather than talking about the part, you’ll be guided to embody your parts in real-time, allowing you to feel, move, and express their full energy. By integrating the wisdom stored within each part—whether it’s a protector, a vulnerable aspect, or a hidden shadow—you can release old patterns, heal relational wounds, and step into greater emotional freedom.
Each week, you’ll engage in transformative practices such as alter ego, theater role-playing, somatic unwinding, and authentic expression witnessing. These practices are designed to create a safe space for exploration, expression, and integration. You’ll experience firsthand how embodying your parts leads to profound healing and a more harmonious relationship with yourself and others.
What You’ll Experience:
• Inner Presence: Learn to tune into the subtle sensations and emotions of your parts through guided meditations that bring you into a state of deep presence.
• Alter Ego: Discover how your parts show up in relationship, exploring their interactions in real-time to uncover deeper truths about yourself.
• Parts Theater: Use role-playing to gain insight into your inner conflicts, allowing others to embody your parts and mirroring their wisdom back to you.
• Authentic Expression: An opportunity to express your parts fully in a safe, non-judgmental space, witnessed by the group as you release the emotional weight they carry.
• Unwinding: Engage in a powerful somatic practice that helps process unresolved emotional blockages through the body’s intelligence, allowing unconscious resistance to surface and release.
• Integration: Close each session by reflecting on the insights you’ve gained and integrating these learnings into your everyday life.
Course Structure:
Each week, we’ll gather in a small, intimate group to explore our parts together. The structure of the course includes:
• Guided meditations to create presence and connect with your inner landscape
• Partner check-ins with specific prompts to explore the parts that are alive in you
• Dynamic group exercises that bring parts into embodiment and relational awareness
• Creative theater role-playing and somatic practices to unlock the gifts within each part
• Witnessing to share and process your parts in front of a supportive group
• Unwinding sessions for deep somatic processing of emotional blockages
• Group debriefs to integrate and reflect on your experiences
Who Is This For?
This cohort is ideal for anyone seeking to:
• Experience more emotional freedom in their life
• Deepen their self-acceptance and self-awareness
• Heal relational wounds and patterns that no longer serve them
• Learn how to integrate hidden, exiled, or shadow parts into their being
• Embody their parts in real-time to unlock the life force and gifts within them
• Experience somatic practices that create alignment between the conscious and unconscious self
• Whether you’re new to parts work or have prior experience, this offers a fresh, experiential approach to discovering the richness of your inner world.
Are You Ready to Embody Your Whole Self?
This journey invites you to reconnect with the deepest parts of your being and step into a more authentic, empowered version of yourself. If you’re ready to experience emotional freedom and integration like never before, Embodying the Whole Self is the path you’ve been seeking.

About your Facilitator: Mahaya
Mahaya is passionate about authentic connection, loving presence and listening to deep wisdom within. Her own experience of moving through 20 years of chronic illness led her to deep dive into the world of yoga, breathwork, plant medicine work, mindfulness, psychosomatic therapies and trauma work and to discovering her own gifts of an intuitive and a transformational space holder.
During the time of pandemic she has discovered the practices of Circling & Somatic Embodiment. These practices has been a catalyst of a profound transformation in her own life. Since then she is passionate about spreading the practices and has been facilitating Circling & Somatic Embodiment gatherings for more than 3 years in person and online.
Mahaya brings into the spaces, she holds, a unique combination of surrendered leadership skills and a solid background in somatic psychotherapy and trauma work. Her ability to hold a powerful field of presence invites participants to slow down and attune to their embodied experience, fostering an atmosphere where they feel safe, supported, and fully seen.
With her background in trauma work, she is skilled at guiding individuals through emotional layers, helping them access and process deep-seated emotions and relational patterns. Her heightened attunement, along with her trauma-informed approach, allows for breakthroughs and healing to emerge naturally, providing participants with a transformative experience of connection, self-awareness, and relational healing.
In addition to facilitating transformational group spaces, Mahaya, also, delights in professionally supporting others in 1:1 setting as a psychosomatic therapy & trauma work practitioner and a transformational coach. In her spare time she enjoys free style dancing, nature hikes and heart felt connections with others.
