An embodied zine-making and collective altar workshop exploring the Divine Feminine
Join artist, and somatic practitioner Poonam Dhuffer for a nourishing gathering of creativity, ritual, and reflection as we explore our relationship with the Divine Feminine through embodied art-making and collective altar creation.
Together, we'll explore the Divine Feminine as a source of intuition, creativity, receptivity, wisdom, compassion, wildness, and transformation — however these qualities resonate in your own lived experience. This gathering invites us to reconnect with the creative, intuitive, and life-giving forces that live within and around us.
You are invited to bring a meaningful object that connects you to the Divine Feminine in your own life. This may be something that holds a story, memory, feeling, or symbolic significance. Together, we'll weave these offerings into a shared altar, creating a space of reverence, connection, and collective expression.
Through gentle somatic practices, we'll slow down and listen to the body's wisdom, allowing images, words, and symbols to emerge from sensation, intuition, and felt experience. From this place of embodied awareness, we'll create personal zines using collage, writing, drawing, honouring creativity as a portal to remembrance.
We will also explore the womb as a physical and symbolic space of creation, imagination, intuition, and becoming an inner landscape from which stories, visions, and transformations arise.
Together we will:
Co-create a collective altar honouring the Divine Feminine
Engage in gentle somatic practices and embodied inquiry
Create an intuitive zine guided by the wisdom of the body
Explore creativity as ritual, reflection, and self-discovery
Gather in a closing circle for sharing, witnessing, and integration
No artistic experience is necessary. This workshop is an invitation to move beyond perfection and create from a place of presence, curiosity, and inner knowing. This workshop is particularly suited to creatives, artists, designers, makers, storytellers, therapists, healers, educators, and curious seekers.
All materials will be provided, along with unlimited tea throughout the session. You are also welcome to bring any images, magazines, poems, or objects you feel drawn to include in your zine.
Come as you are, bring your offering, and join us in creating a temporary sanctuary for slowing down, listening deeply, and honouring the stories, symbols, and wisdom that wish to emerge.

Warm words from my clients and past attendees
"Working with Poonam was like receiving the warmth and wisdom of women, family, intergenerational beliefs and ideas. A deeply nurturing experience." - Somatic Coaching client
"Poonam’s facilitation style was calm, centred, empowering and healing. Poonam created a healing space for our group of artists, that allowed them to slow down and think through how they best wish to move forward with the development of their artistic practice and their time on the programme. They felt much calmer, more reflective, more empowered. Working with Poonam was a total joy. Poonam approached the sessions with so much bespoke care, and went above and beyond." - Cultural Producer, Rosetta Arts
"Our work helped me decolonise my relationship to time." - Somatic Coaching Client
"Working with Poonam was a deep, joyful, soulful experience that expanded me in new ways. Her energy and softness encouraged me to go inward and cultivate trust within myself, something I’ve been working on for a long time but have struggled to cement. The process taught me more than anything that there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, and that my path is mine to define, that my curiosity and creativity already exist and just need to be heard, honoured, and allowed space to flourish. Each session felt like it gave me more space — to explore my voice, to quieten the self-judgement and to simply be — and in between each session it felt like I had nourishing support through it all." - Somatic Coaching Client
