Cyclical Power

17/10/2026

Navratri honours goddess Durga - a powerful manifestation of Shakti - throughout nine days.
On the 10th day, the victory of good over evil is celebrated. Every day, through mythology and rituals that differ from region to region, a different form and quality of Durga is worshipped.

Think of qualities such as courage, fearlessness, boundary-setting, protection, nourishment, righteous rage, self-validation, and self-sovereignty.

For me, it is the emphasis on these qualities that makes this festival so valuable. They are essential for living a healthy, joyful and liberated life - true to yourself, and in connection with your environment. Questioning and embracing them, makes us understand our true worth, and become inwardly powerful and peaceful. Through this process, we can become an awakened woman, no longer asleep to our own goddess capacities.

In a patriarchal society which represses many of these qualities - in men and women - Navratri brings inspiration and supportive energies, to remember and embody our power, and the wholeness of ourselves.

The goddesses from days 4-6 made me reflect on
- love as a way to light up the world,
- what a safe space looks like to me (not to be confused with comfort zone, I realised)
- how darkness brings us strength, depth, courage and helps us moving closer to our true selves
Thanks Natasha Mahindra for the narratives, prompts and guided meditations!

I don’t know if it’s me or the rising energies, but I’ve been way more discerning and direct in who/what I spend my time & energy on, and much clearer in asserting boundaries.
Ready for the final 3 days!

You also noticing shifts these days?

I’ll be sharing more yoga practices, knowledge, insights and experiences here from now. Finally feels like it’s the right time to step into my educator’s role in this field again, and it feels gooood 🌞🌙

The more I teach around cyclical living, feminine embodiment, and shakti power, the more yoga comes in. Or well, if you know me, you know it’s always been there - and that it was actually my entry point in menstrual cycle awareness. But, over the last years, I felt the need to focus on sharing around the menstrual cycle & feminine embodiment.

Happy to feel that’s expanding.
It’s more clear than ever that many many many of the health issues women experience today have their roots in stressful living patterns that deeply disconnect us from our natural rhythm and natural life cycles - leaving women tired, frustrated, chronically ill and disempowered. The practice of yoga, also translated as ‘union’, literally reconnects & unites women to the source of health and vitality (if practiced in alignment). Simply, yoga is a key for healthy, vital and joyful living.

Excited to dive deeper with you, focusing on all things related to womb yoga, nervous system regulation, and the power of breath.

If there are specific areas in yoga and women’s health & vitality that interest you, let me know!

Navratri day 1-3
Our energy flows where our attention goes.

My intention for this Navratri is to see ánd feel the divine feminine all around me again, something I felt vividly after this summer’s women festival, and that made me land fully into my body, my senses, and my womb. Something that made me feel so empowered... and silently disappeared over the last weeks by living life.
The second intention is to make daily space to connect with my inner wisdom and intuition. To think, feel, ask, build upon, co-create from within every day.

By connecting with ma Shailputri, ma Brahmacharini and ma Chandraghanta these three days, through listening to their stories, practicing mudras, and reflecting on the qualities they represent (strength, wisdom and willpower), I can feel a shift. My senses are more on, I feel my yoni’s physical & energetic presence more, and ratio + intuition are getting more equal attention.

Curious what else will shift during the next six days. Fersure the energies are strong. And I love being reminded again of the power of intention, and of the omnipresence of the powerful feminine - as long as we make space to see.

What has Navratri brought you so far?

A woman who moves fluidly through all of her dimensions is harder to contain

Today’s society forgot, represses and discourages many of these dimensions.
Especially those that support self-sovereignty, trust in our own bodies, and the righteousness
to fully express ourselves.

Instead, women are deduced to embody a small set of ideals:
* obedient
* modest
* nurturing
* self-sacrificing
* sexually controlled

Navratri is a powerful time to
🌹explore the many dimensions we actually hold,
🌹remember the power that lives inside all of us - the power of the divine feminine
🌹connect with the inner goddesses, not by “believing in” these fierce figures, but by awakening the qualities they represent within yourself

Come remember the many forms of power that live inside of you.
Come awaken the downplayed feminine qualities by patriarchal society.
Come express your courage, boundaries and righteous anger.

Come Awaken Durga within you.

Sunday, 18 October | 10 AM–12 PM
📍 House of Kapaali
Optional sattvic lunch | 12–1 PM

Open to women & men!

Watching the sunset and sunrise as a natural med for better sleep & calmer mind?

Over the past weeks, I’ve been increasing my daily dose of sunrises & sunsets. My sleep has been better, and my mind calmer. Coincidence?

Well, science supports this. The sun cycle regulates our circadian rhythm - our body’s 24-hour cycle that manages our sleep-wake patterns:

🌅 Sunrise boosts our cortisol levels, bringing us the energy we need for the day. It also ramps up melatonin (our sleeping hormone) production for about 14-16 hours, making us feel more awake. Anddd it boosts serotonin, our happy hormone.
🌅 Sunset activates our parasympathetic nervous system, reducing our cortisol levels and signalling to the body to wind down. The incoming darkness makes our body release melatonin - prepping our body for some sweet sleep. (Artificial light at night disrupts these signals)

Since the body is an integrated system, better sleep and regular cortisol production positively influence other systems as well, such as the menstrual cycle and digestion. Not a surprise that science shows watching the sunrise & sunset has a positive effect on our brain and mental health, reducing anxiety and depression.

Also, these natural phenomena install a sense of awe - making us feel small, forget about our daily challenges and feel more connected to all around us. Lots of awe apparently decreases our cytokines - markers of inflammation of the body. So, more awe = less inflammation!

Next time your sleep is light or disturbed, see if you can enjoy some extra sunrise / sunset (and reduce artificial light after sunset) 💛

Last weekend, on the autumn equinox & full moon, we celebrated our harvest.

The equinox is naturally a time for balance, equilibrium and harmony. It’s that post-ovulatory moment in nature, a great time to pause and celebrate the harvest of the last season(s). Not only because celebration is something sweet to do, but also to become more resilient and to create a buffer - from where we can face our darker sides and shed what no longer serves us.

At the same time, the harvest full moon is a beautiful symbol of completion: The gathering of results, and the recognition of what is ready to be finished before the next cycle beings.

During the Sangha, we did a guided visualisation, gathering the flowers and fruits from the past season, enjoying their juiciness and rich taste.
And from that celebration, we reflected on what feminine / masculine qualities we want to tap more into - now that we’re moving into the darkening half of the year (in the northern hemisphere), where qualities of the feminine start ruling more.

For some of us, that was more doing, discipline & structure, for others it was more self-compassion, discernment & being-being-being.

Intentions that came forward and could be of inspiration for you too:
- Faith over fear
- What comes naturally, let that happen
- Be okay with other people’s critique

Always nourishing to gather as women, exchange, relate, and understand we’re not alone in what we experience, desire for, or are challenged by.

Join us KALKI Institute , each last Saturday of the month 💜

And make sure to have your celebratory moment before shifting into autumn 🪩
