Véa Gathering Circle
The Véa Gathering Circle is a once-a-month, guided online space for reflection, journaling and embodied self-inquiry. Each session is 90 minutes and takes place online, designed to offer a grounded, supportive container for people who want to explore their inner landscape with curiosity rather than pressure.
The circle is based on Maureen Murdock’s Heroine’s Journey, a psycho-spiritual framework that explores how we separate from, reject and eventually reintegrate different parts of ourselves over time. The journey unfolds on personal, cultural, and spiritual levels and can repeat many times across a lifetime. While it has often been used to describe women’s inner development, it is not limited to women and is open to people of all genders. Each monthly session focuses on one stage of the journey, moving through the themes sequentially and participants are welcome to join at any point.
Rather than offering answers or fixes, the Véa Gathering Circle invites reflection, emotional awareness and self-connection within a shared, recurring space. It is a circle designed to be returned to each month, where people work with the same framework over time and develop a sense of familiarity, continuity and belonging. While each person’s process is individual, the journey is held collectively - as we reflect together, patterns become clearer, understanding deepens and the group itself becomes part of the container. Resonance and non-resonance are both welcome; this is a process of self-discovery, not a prescription.
The first session focuses on the theme of Disconnection from the Feminine. This stage explores the moment - often early in life - when we learn that certain qualities such as softness, intuition, emotional expression or receptivity are not rewarded, welcomed or safe. Over time, this can show up as self-silencing, prioritising performance over presence, difficulty receiving support or mistrust of vulnerability. In this session, we’ll gently explore where separation from the feminine may have formed, how it shows up today and what it might feel like to reconnect with what was once set aside.
Sessions are guided and may include meditation, shared reflection and discussion, visualisation, hypnosis or EFT-based exercises, journaling and a closing practice to support integration.
This is a space for self-inquiry and reflection, not therapy or treatment. By joining, participants agree to take responsibility for their own emotional process, engage at a pace that feels safe for them and seek additional support outside the circle if needed. Sharing is always optional.
The Véa Gathering Circle is hosted by Elena and Katrina. Elena is a certified EFT practitioner and life coach working with emotional regulation, self-connection and embodied change. Katrina is Head of Partnerships & Growth at Véa and a hypnosis facilitator, working at the intersection of emotional intelligence, reflection and technology.
