I used to find groups of women stupid. I couldn't do anything at all!
There was such a resistance in me. In the meantime, however, I know that if you are so resisted, the time comes to take a closer look at it.
When I started a club with a water ballet at the age of 13, only women were there. Also a lot older than me. In training I always scored over to the swimmers. There were cool boys and girls. And when the swimming trainer asked me if I would like to take part here as a swimmer, I said yes immediately! Because with women alone I just didn't feel like it. That continued in my life. I might be with boys. It was only much later that I learned how valuable being can only be with women. Today, women's rounds are an important part in my life and in my topics and even in my business.
My previous prejudices regarding women's groups
In social media I start to see the new visibility of women. It is a different visibility than the 30 years ago. Today women reflect more on their female origin. It is no longer the women of the 1980s who demonstrate masculinity in broad -shouldered jacketts and try to find their place in a male domain.
I like women when women live more strongly their emotional intelligence, empathy and appreciation.
Self -confidence in a female leadership is developing and the new type of leader role is now less understood as a copy of a male leadership style.
In our time we need a new type of management style in companies and women can contribute a lot to it. In the end it is always about creating a common. The leadership strategy from top to bottom can say goodbye in the new age.
But it's not just about leadership. The point is that the qualities of femininity can be seen, understood and integrated holistically. A mom with 3 children does not necessarily have to look tugged and stressed. She can take care of her self -worth and beauty care and take care of yourself and your needs.
What is still a little scared of identifying me with the new women's movement
were the new show positions that began to circulate online. I wondered what kind of female being is yours?
There was:
- Belief in God now got a new face:
you are the goddess. The goddess is in you. Well, you goddess, how are you? Suddenly we women were goddesses. The retreats with God's leadership are exploding. Although I see our divinity in every being, this was too much of a good thing for me! Yes, women are beautiful, empathetic, sensual, receptive and divine. And yes, it also needs attention in this regard. - My earlier view of women's circles were also all women who walked around in Wallawalla clothes, only ate muesli and refused lipsticks. (35 years ago as a teenager, I ran around as a half -Italian in Italian chic in Germany. Fashion in Germany, with beautiful clothes and bright lipstick. My contemporary women preferred to dress in the hippielook, always slightly grubby and without make -up. I was somehow outsider). (Later I tried to adapt in this rail, because being chic in these circles was the same as not intelligent ... and I wanted to be part of it).
- Or exactly the opposite: women who a woman and luxury and always look styled, strut on high heels, with perfectly made nails and hair and present themselves in luxury outfits.
- I discovered a new female phenomenon on Instagram:
- The He Wild Woman. Women dancing in exaggerated, wild and violent movements that, I think, let every man run away. They look as if they eat everything that comes in their way.
My examination of my own authentic femininity let me stop "judging" other ideas from Frausein. Because women have now also surprised me who carry so much in female power who seemed to be not at all.
My gymnastics about women's circles started in 2010
The first time I understood the importance of a women's group was in Poona, at Osho in India.
I've been traveling there again and again since I was 28. To understand me deeper and to see through and manage problems. The meditations and "groups" there are great and staffed with wise teachers from all over the world. Just like this place, Osho in Poona, where people from all over the world meet.
I also meet other masters and teaching. India taught me a lot. It is an incredibly inspiring country! In mysticism, in spirituality and in the stories that you experience in a mystical way.
They are always stories that catapult you out of the comfort zone and make you wise a bit.
When I was there again in 2010, I booked a group that dealt with Tantra. It was about male and female energies and the gender encounter. That had less to do with sex. It was very easy for the energies in us and the energy of the men and those of women.
I think I still know every single exercise, so impressed me this week in this group!
There I understood for the first time that there is a women's world and a world of men.
And both tick differently.
In the first few days we were only with our gender comrades and the men with theirs. We learned our stories and motives to be here. We talked about our fears, traumas and the walls we had drawn around our heart. In an international camp you learn a lot about how people in other countries collectively influence people in other countries.
The other days were mixed men and women.
I would like to tell about an exercise that showed me how male and female energy ticks:
The men stood together in an inner circle, the women in the outer circle. The gong sounded and off we went. Without talking, the men stayed on their shoulders and hopped together (as in football). They made quite loud tones. Next to me on my hand I had a Chinese woman who twitched and started crying. She was afraid of this powerful energy that broke off. I also have to say that this international resort in India, people and their stories from all over the world brought together. At that time, Chinese were not welcome in China as a born girl. Her deeply rooted fear of men was very noticeable.
After that it was the other way around: the men stood on the outside and held by the hand. They protected the women inside. We women stayed in the arms and weighed back and forth without consultation. We started crying. We cried tears over tears. It was the tears from the collective past of women from millennia that were fed with the topics such as oppression, abuse and fear. How do I know that? Because it was in the field and we all felt it so much! Nobody had to explain anything. It was about all women on this planet Earth!
This is exactly where I felt what “women's circles” can do. We were collectively connected.
There were no nationalities. There was only this female energy that we perceived as such great pain.
From that moment on, I have experienced it again and again: the development of the power of women when they are among themselves.
It was a trace that I increasingly followed, experimented in it and without fanaticism from every woman wishing to combine with other women.
Today I am organizing groups of women in the desert
The desert, the desert, the desert! In a world where the silence is hardly, the reduced concentration on itself and others increasingly disappears through the smartphone, it is necessary to reflect. Current awareness and sensation of being, the return ticket is to hear its own thoughts again and strengthen intuition.
So I go into the desert with women. 30 years ago I was in the desert for the first time and it was the experiences inside that changed me.
For me, the desert is the largest transformation place. In one of my blog posts : Pure lust for life and femininity about the desert I write a lot about what moves and try to explain in women, provided that you can explain it at all.
Here I laid my work of women. I offer different trips to Morocco and the desert.
All desert trips can be found on my homepage: desert trips. Art, healing and visions
why I like to work with women and ask them to make their femininity strong is because I wish to reflect on our original energy in relationships. A strong femininity can cause men to feel more male again!
There is also a funny story here!
Once there was a group of women where almost every woman before the trip thought that she couldn't do anything with women alone. Almost 80 % of women clarified me in a personal conversation and I assured them that they had every freedom of the world to withdraw, can sleep in single tents and there was no group compulsion.
After this trip, we met together in Austria at Lisa 3 months later. She invited us all to meet a weekend.
A feedback from Doris, a participant:
"I would like to thank you especially for reminding me, this power of women
when women are together. To the quaint, that and so connects it!"
General information about women's groups
- Women's groups often create an atmosphere of understanding and solidarity in which women can express themselves freely. This promotes emotional support, strengthens self -confidence and enables personal development freely from judgments in a supportive environment.
- By gathering with people of our own gender, we can better identify with the specific challenges, experiences and energies and understand them better. Women's groups can be an effective way to strengthen female energy and to establish a deeper connection to themselves and others.
Finally, I would like to pay attention to a film that might be interested in those who want to dive into the world of the desert.
The nomads once lived in the desert. It was and is still important for them today that they are in male circles and women in women's circles.
There is a great film on YouTube about the dispute between men and women, love, suffering and passion. The film is called: Adili a nomadin from the Sahara.
My current offers for women
- Do you like traveling to the desert with me?
- Work online with me and strengthen your femininity?
- In addition to my desert trips, there is a new trip for women:
a Morocco luxury queens retreat.
- A moving journey through the land of the 1000 senses.
What the luxury king's retreat is about:
to appreciate and feel like a queen, is the queen retreat de luxe in Morocco with particularly beautiful accommodations. Then we dive holistically at all levels in our femininity. Taking your own place, being confident and clear and loving and enjoying life gives us the queen's place. We listen to be on beggars. To listen to wanting to.
Our charisma changes because our energy changes.
We travel through the fantastic, sensitive, beguiling Morocco to various places and into the desert.
In splendid, sparseness and luxury, we experience the many facets of luxury and wealth.
This is also expressed in the loving and great service of people.
Here you can feel the joy of people to serve and spoil their guests. And isn't it exactly what as a consultant, coaches, therapists, and simply want to be as humans? Serve the others and help to make the best of themselves.
My conclusion:
Even if I work with men and offer mixed trips,
women's groups will remain my heart.
But as the saying goes: Never say! Because I shouldn't forget
how I once found women's groups stupid.
Hello Nora,
Wow, what a turn, what a trip. Thank you for that. I felt very much. I felt the same way.
Dear Julia, I am pleased that you could feel how I was. It is always nice to know that others are on a similar journey. Thanks for commenting!
Dear Nora,
I know that so well! I also preferred the society and friendship of men in my youth. But that has already changed in my young adult years. Since I entered my choir at 30 years, I have had very intensive exchange with women and a real heart connection. And since I have participated in women's seminars, I have also been experiencing this deep connection that you describe in your article. Your example, in which the women's and the male circle describes, drove my tears in my eyes.
However, I experience more and more that men also open up and are there with the heart. Every time this is also a deeply fulfilling experience for you. That gives hope!
Your women's trips to the desert sound very, very interesting. I will definitely follow you.
Greetings
Heidrun
Dear Heidrun,
thanks for your feedback! Yes, men also want a heart connection. And that's so important! We all want good relationships. With the nomads it is the woman who leads the man to his heart and is therefore very important. All the best!
Dear Nora,
for me the men's women and women's women are a matter of age. In recent years, women (and I too) were more in competition with each other - men were also caught in reflexive imposing.
Now that I am adding 60, the coat of serenity has laid over so much separating and the goods are visible. It doesn't matter to me, whether male or female. If the essential trains and values suit me, everyone is welcome 🙂
Thanks for your thoughts to make it clear to me.
Many greetings
Gabi
Yes, as beautifully said! The coat of serenity! You experience life at our age. What a freedom. Thank you and best regards, Nora
