Sacred Circles for Women with studio owner Katie
Dear Sisters
You are warmly and with so much love invited in sacred circle on Friday 20th June from 5.45pm – 9pm at Salt Water Studios.
There is a huge amount of energy at play and when I sat with this yesterday what came through was “a bridge between worlds”. This circle will be an opportunity to connect to the energy that is being offered, and through this connection you yourself will become that bridge. I feel like we need as much help as we can get right now. Earth is a place of polarity and there is so much trauma and so much suffering, and so as much as you connecting to the energy you need in the moment will support you, by default it was also support the rest of the humans. I can feel the divide and the separation, for me I can always feel it and so this “bridge between worlds’ feels to me like an invitation for you to call in and connect to support. Your team within the unseen. The ones who speak to you in your dreams and the ones who wish for you to glean…support, love and solidarity to help you evolve and grow. Appreciation, heart-to-heart connection, to help you transmit the frequency of LIBERATION wherever you go. This is a time for you to lean into the light, recharge your cells and bathe yourself in possibility. To gather with your community and remind yourself of your inner luminosity. To release wounds from the past and be guided by the light. To heal through the mother and father axis, so that you have the courage to keep walking through the night. To embody sacred rebel, love activist, soul warrior, or whichever archetype feels most true to you, So that when you are called into action you feel ready and able to to do what is asked of you. A sacred circle of support, love and connection; a homecoming is calling you forth. And as we gather in sisterhood we will cast our gaze and attune our hearts to the star in the North.
I really hope you will join me – seats are £40pp and I currently have 10 places left. Our evening together will include:
- Welcome time to settle in and make your nest
- Herbal teas and cake and snacks
- Meditation
- Breath care practices
- Gentle movement
- Rest
- Sharing circle
- Journalling
- Ritual
- Energy altar and accompanying story
- Time in community, among a growing movement of change-makers
Absolutely everything is optional and every woman is welcome. Please email me info@saltwaterstudios.co or text me 07852999716 to book or find out more, Love Katie xxx

You are warmly invited into sacred circle. On Friday 28th March 5.45pm – 9pm, at Salt Water Studios.
Consider this invitation your call to be yourself in this world: your full and true self (and that includes your shadow)
Leaning into the energy of the Spring Equinox (our ignition point), and eclipse season. Not all seeds reach germination. Not all will Become. But there are some seeds that are really needed. This is our time to begin emerging – begin expanding from hibernation through the zero point of the zodiac, into becoming. Moving out of the realm of potentiality into the realm of materiality. Moving towards reviewing old understandings (the energy brought with the eclipse the day after this circle- so potent!!) so that we are not trapped in the past. Embodying our sacred warrior and Phoenix energy along with playfulness and curiosity, represented by the seal.
The Sabian symbol of the 0 point of Aries is: “a woman emerges from the sea, a seal embraces her” – what does this mean for us and how can we work with this imagery and symbolism to unlock and awaken seeds of future potential that are ready to begin unfurling. The element is FIRE, the physiology of Aries is our head and blood and the energy centre is our solar plexus and root.
We will also explore our Becoming as the wheel of the year turns once more, along with Archetypes of Resistance – from the incredible Jungian therapist Satya Doyle Byock, as a way to delve into and further understand the unique roles each of us plays at this time, how we are not usually all “things” all of the time.
Where will we end up? Who knows, but now is the beginning – the start of a new story. A whole new book. Come and create the heartbeat of gathering with me. Let’s initiate and ignite this year together.
This evening will begin at 5.45pm with a gentle welcome and chance for you to settle in, make your nest, and tea and use the time as you most need. At 6pm we will open our circle together and our journey will begin. we will meander through: meditation, breath-work, movement, sharing circles , energy altar and accompanying “story”, oracle cards, chance for tea and cake and nourishing snacks. Absolutely everything is optional and every woman is welcome.
Gather with me to explore these themes and energies, let your body rest so that you can recharge and renew your inner fire.
Come, gather round heart close to the ground.
Rest in your nest as we circle round.
Attune to your most sacred sounds.
And discover that all you may have felt lost, will again be found.
I would be honoured if you would join me. Seats are £40pp and please do email me Katie.robertson@hotpodyoga.com with any questions you have at all.
all my love, Katie xxxx

Join Katie on Friday 28 February from 5.45pm – 9pm.
Dear Sisters
You are warmly invited in sacred circle. On Friday 28th February 5.45pm – 9pm, at Salt Water Studios.
Come, gather round heart close to the ground.
Rest in your nest as we circle round.
Attune to your most sacred sounds.
And discover that all you may have felt lost, will again be found.
An invitation to swim in the celestial seas and communicate through the mouth of the whale as we dive together to the watery depths of the Pisces New Moon; the watcher of the southern skies Fomalhaut and tune in deeper to the significance of Salacia and Sedna to us women who live on the edge of the land – a combined flow of freedom, fluidity and deep femininity. The water element will wash us, wrap us and help us to soften into wonder and the mysteries of all it means to be alive at this time. Through tuning into salt water we will activate memories of lost times held within us. Water is the most feminine of all of the elements and the one that makes me feel most alive and clear. Water teaches us about liberation through being a symbol of freedom, fluidity and transformation. She inspires positive change, something that the feminine, through our cycles and connection to the rhythms of life and death, are: We are change.
This evening will be a time to remember, just as our ancestors did, how to gather and weave together. In sacred circle we make a commitment to ourselves, each other and the future, a future where all beings are free. the flow of Fomalhaut always deeply supports us at this time of year and there is so much still we don’t know about this Royal Star, but this star also is feminine and yin-like in her energy. The loneliest star in all of the heavens……
This evening will consist of: gentle non-dogmatic rest, intertwined with soft movement to help you unfurl; sharing circle; meditation; energy altar and accompanying “story”; journalling; tea and cake to share; oracle cards. May you take what you need and leave the rest behind – absolutely everything is optional.
I offer you this window of time and as a portal to rest and receive so that you can continue to BREATH. To revolutionise yourself from the inside out and begin to release yourself from any misplaced doubt. A space to be held and let go. A space to unwind and surrender to the FLOW. To be in the hypnotic feeling of stepping away from the rush, so that you are able to listen in and witness yourself as your nervous system starts to hush. This space I offer you from my heart, my soul and my bones. This place I offer you as a doorway to simply arrive, and come home.
I would be honoured if you would join me. Seats are £40pp and please do email me back with any questions you have at all. One community seat is taken so I still have one free seat available, if you are in need during this time please let me know.
all my love, Katie xxxx
Dear Sisters
My next public offering is The Primordial Pulse – an invitation to Commune with our Great Mother Earth and simultaneously be lifted into “time out of time”. This is a journey that will be deeply grounded and ancestral as well as cosmically supported. For me , it is always both, and – not one or the other and I pride myself on creating spaces that honour a multitude of perspectives. I believe that everything is interconnected and so to say that one truth is better or more true than another creates more separation and more division. You are a unique expression of the divine and at the same time, you are part of the web of life – the ground of being and the spiders web of energy that connects us all – in my humble opinion.
Falling as it does on Friday 21 June, our circle will be imprinted by both the Cancer Solstice and Capricorn Moon which I believe are arriving not a moment too soon. I would be honoured if you would join me! and before I get to the bones of this invite, please pop also in your diary; Saturday 22 June down at Denton Gardens (just behind Coast Cafe) for an afternoon Community Yoga Practise – this event was monumental for us last year and I am excited to gather again. this even is. free community offering.
🌙🌍🌙🌍🌙🌍🌙🌍🌙🌍🌙🌍🌙🌍
Reflecting back a lot to this time last year ,
When we gathered as a community and a rainbow bridge appeared .
We sat in sacred circle and we yoga-danced beneath the sky
We came together in union and many of us let out deep, soul deep cries.
I saw the world for what it truly was – vibrant colours and dancing trees
And in these moments with people I love I was truly brought to my knees.
But now a year has passed and another great turning begins to rise,
As my soul sister Emily said, we need to do this side by side
The Great Turning – the summer solstice – as we are lifted out of linear time
Lets come together again and commit to community; a continual revolution and a rooted rise.
And along with that, to look outwardly – to compassionately witness – spread play and joy among the fear.
A deep bow of gratitude for our practices and lucky we are to even be able to be here.
The Summer Solstice is in the sign Cancer, that of the Mother
Followed by the Capricorn Moon. These bones, they go deep – they are your integrity – only you can know this – no other .
The knees of Capricorn is our Earth being brought to hers,
The bones of so many of her children – she is holding deep – so much pain – how can we support her?
To embody the energy of Great Wild Sacred Mother
This journey is open to you.
To not detach from your sisters and brothers,
In circle we will follow the path that is sacred and vital, that which is rooted in vigilant awareness and Truth.
🩸❤️🩸❤️🩸❤️🩸❤️🩸❤️🩸❤️🩸❤️
As ever, I will bring in a melting pot of modalities for you the to choose from and discern what is right and true for you. Spaces I create are anchored in Love and I wish for you to be able to rest your weary heart – drop everything you carry, collapse into community and be deeply held. Rest, replenish and restore your roots.
You can expect as a minimum within this sacred window: meditation, gentle movement, sharing circle, oracle card readings, energy practise, tea + cake, community, and most importantly of all ~ stillness and space.
Friday 21st June 5.45pm – 9pm and the exchange is £40pp.
Leaving you with my love and gratitude for being here

What does it mean to enter sacred circle?
To me, it is a feeling of coming home. Coming home to ourselves, coming home to one another in community and equality, and coming home to great Mother Earth. The circle itself is a symbol of wholeness, oneness, the whole of the Universe. No one is greater than another in circle, we are all equal, there is no hierarchy and we can feel so welcome to come exactly as we are. Circle is a place of acceptance, of love, of surrender…there is no judgement here. In circle we are all seen, heard, witnessed and honoured. We re gifted a PAUSE and the space to commune with our souls, we can feel with our hearts and we can remember who we are.
Who should enter sacred circle?
The circle will hold space for all who step forward. Only you will know when the time is right, and that first time can feel scary. The unknown…what if this…what if that? It’s really a bit of a contradiction because in circle we are asked to let go and trust….BUT we are stepping fully into unchartered territory, so know if you feel scared it’s ok, it’s all part of the process and you are always in safe hands. I have been holding sacred circles for 4 years now and I am always learning, always expanding the offering and always creating the safest most loving place for you to be you.
What can we expect?
we can expect nothing…or we can expect everything! The best way to enter is with no expectation…but be prepared. You can in the simplest way be held, you can be cocooned and loved. You can awaken…you can transform…you can heal….you can shed….you might cry…you might laugh….all possibility awaits in circle and for me that is part of the excitement because in truth ANYTHING can happen! We put our trust in ourselves and in the circle to hold us.
Some testimonials:
“I loved being part of the warrior women circle! It was Massively empowering and cathartic. Thank you for all that you put into the session and the cake! I felt like I shook off some blocked emotions and the lovely meditations and circle support gave me the opportunity to do this.
My story feels very raw still and I think the next few months will test me but I shall definitely return to your lovely circle!
Thanks again, have a lovely day” xx (Helen)
My first woman’s circle I didn’t know what to expect or how open I’d be but it was perfect. A beautifully held space full Of love compassion power left me with a grounding glow… we spoke our truth, we were heard. What a powerful circle with a lasting effect. (Holly)
The circle was wonderful and I am so pleased I was able to be part of such a beautiful, powerful and liberating time spent together. Thank you for creating these magical spaces that allows us to surrender, open up and feel held. I look forward to the next, and wish you a happy weekend. Lots of love and light Grace xxx
Well THANKYOU!Friday night was quite something…… where do I start…..So I booked the evening initially thinking it was a monster yoga session with oodles of meditation, which I though would be cool as I haven’t really done much in the meditation department. My lovely Danny (hubby) then read something online and read out what the evening was actually going to consist of, shock, fear and almost horror then spread over me of the unknown…. but nothing ventured, nothing gained, so I turned up with a very open mind and ready for a new experience. Which I could have never preempted.The atmosphere was beautiful, comfortable, and certainly felt very safe.The experience was humbling, calming and insightful to myself through others.As you said in the circle, many experiences and feelings are like a mirror and reflect back.It was very real.I am still today reflecting on the evening, it has created many questions on various levels, all strangely positive and freeing I (don’t think that’s a real word, but works for what I need to say). It was lovely to be able to admit that life is good and to actually except it, something that we don’t always acknowledge, opposed to when things are more difficult. There are always mountains to climb and obstacles to face, with external negative forces wafting through, but to manage them and feel good is quite something. Everything is just a phase and this will change, (maybe tomorrow) but to recognise it and not feel guilty for doing was very liberating.I think the circle reaffirmed that life is a journey and we are all at different stages and ages, the struggles are all the same for each and everyone of us, but at different times and varying levels. Also that as individuals we all feel like oddballs and learning to except ourselves, maybe that is the norm?You certainly made it easy to be there, sharing in your wonderful way, allowing others to follow.There is certainly a strength in sharing.The timings were good, the evening flowed, the excellent home baked cake a lovely human touch.It was a really special few hours that will resonate for weeks, maybe months and more to come. I still have my offering to give back to the great outdoors, and choosing my quiet time to indulge and saviour it.
“I’m honestly a bit speechless, I slept like a log…I literally felt you pulling things down from the heavens for us.”
“I felt entirely held and supported and extremely teary (prob because I needed to be in a room full of women instead of home with the chaos).”
“Thank-you for creating such a safe space for us all to share so openly and freely.”
“You really created such a special space- that energy- My hands felt like magnets at the start, it was incredible.”
“I loved what you said about truth speaking and how it heals us, those around us and mother Gaia herself. Particularly women.”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! As always, the circle delivered exactly what I needed. I knew I had to be present with you ALL this evening – despite having weird wobbles an hour previous to the event. It brought calm to my current chaos and a much needed grounding “
