We are Currently reading…

‘DANCING IN THE FLAMES’ by MARION WOODMAN

This book will help us with understanding how to bring the goddess to life through the beautiful work of my favourite writer, Marion Woodman. The powerful imagery will create many opportunities to sit with our creative imagination and I will be offering many guided visualisations through this journey so together we can drop into our inner worlds. Marion’s work is truly magical, and of course, our book club is always a beautiful sisterhood with deep connection, sharing and resonance.

Sessions are weekly on Wednesday at 7pm (UK time) for 90-120 minutes ON ZOOM

Please be aware of clocks changing if you live abroad due to daylight savings.

In our book club we all share on our personal process, our anima and animus, and there are optional creative activities dotted through the year such as bodywork, rituals, mask making, artwork, music, dance and guided visualisations. Come and learn about the different aspects of the feminine, empowerment in the darkness and bringing the goddess to life.

What happens in a session?

The format of the group is that we usually begin with breathing or a guided visualisation. We then usually spend about 10 minutes reading together before opening the circle for sharing. The sharing is based on using what we read as a prompt for discussion and also a space to share how we are and how our week has been. At the end we invite you to spend time during the week reflecting either in a diary, doing artwork, tracking dreams, writing myths/ poetry/ stories or noticing synchronicities relating to what we read. This invitation for homework is optional. We also have a WhatsApp group for connection, discussion and sharing with each other during the week, joining this is optional.

What will I need?

We do recommend that you purchase your own copy and keep it near you for highlighting and making your own notes however it is not essential. Keep a pen and journal close by too for reflections. Before the circle stars, set yourself up in a private space where you won’t be overheard. Make sure you’re comfortable and have a blanket close by as sometimes your body temperature can drop when we go deep into this work. We also recommend making your space into a sacred ritual space with some candles, incense, essential oils and/ or oracle cards. Prepare a cup of cacao/ herbal tea and have a glass of water, pen and paper by your side too. Occasionally Jasmine will also message in advance if you need something extra for the activities of the evening.

How do I join?

The book club is part of our Nurse The Soul community. Places are by application only via the main Community page here.

We look forward to reading with you soon

Jasmine holds such an incredibly grounding, insightful, playful and unconditionally accepting Book Club space. As a healer and coach myself it is such a pleasure to enter this Women’s Circle being able to fully put down my teaching roles, stepping into my child self and soaking up the learnings from the communal wisdom and truly authentic sharing offered in the space. Jasmine gives more than expected at each session, allowing everyone to leave feeling truly held and heard, inspired, connected and overflowing with joy! If you are looking for connection and compassion, with a little sprinkle of laughter and light, this is the place for you. – Female, 26, Grahamstown, South Africa, Healer and Coach

I was first introduced to Jasmine and the Nurse the Soul groups in 2020 when I was going through a difficult time of change and self discovery. We were reading “Women Who Run with the Wolves”. It proved to be a formative text for me that opened me up to new possibilities and ways of healing myself through reflection and self compassion. I cannot express the immense gratitude I have for the incredibly supportive, nurturing and accepting spaces that Jasmine has created for myself and so many other women. I have never felt so safe to express my deepest vulnerabilities with others. I learn something new in every session I attend, and it always brings me back to my body, my emotions and my soul. I honestly believe in the transformative power of stories, and I am so happy to have found a space where that transformative power is made manifest through song, speech and guided meditations. Jasmine has brought together a sisterhood of the soul. Her ability to hold spaces and soothe our hearts through the beautiful visualisations she speaks into existence is truly unparalleled. I have recently rejoined the group after being away from it for some time. I can feel it is what my heart needs, and I am so excited to continue my personal journey with the help of Jasmine and all the other amazing women who participate in these magical spaces. – Female, 36, South Africa, Teacher

I have found an amazing sisterhood by attending the book club organised by Nurse The Soul. Jasmine has brought together a group of different women seeking to understand themselves and has created a community full of support, warmth and listening. The journey is a spiral towards understanding oneself but also a fertile ground for understanding another. I highly recommend this book club to any woman who wants to understand herself. – Female, United Arab Emirates

Nurse The Soul book clubs leave me feeling grounded, connected and empowered. The safe space Jasmine creates along with her warmth, knowledge and intuition have offered me a new perspective on life, a new way to experience the world. I am so glad I connected with Jasmine and found the Nurse The Soul community. – Female, 24, Richmond, UK

I am a 27 year old female from London, I found this group unexpectedly on instagram and have been attending this group for 9 weeks now. Every week we meet up and I discover another part of myself that has been broken or supressed. We put pieces back together and bring them to the surface to heal. We do this together and show each other support in a whatsapp group, for you are never alone. For every woman that finds this group will find a treasure. – Female, 27, London, UK

Jasmine has woven a rather transformative journey through M. Woodman’s Dancing in the Flames. As a seasoned devotee of the Great Mother, I have been privy to the deep severing from the sacredness & power that our darker psyche holds as well as the profoundly adverse impact on all women, but also society as a whole. Although, we are just a few months in, this severing has been not only been highlighted but also gently held with great compassion. The book club comes alive as strong echoes of embodiment; awareness of & reflections of the pages that we are reading in our day to day. This exploration is challenging yet much needed for all women in the journey of transformation. Jasmine presents with much devotion & creates a space where permission to honor the complexity of ones being as a whole is granted & reflected back with kindness & wisdom. I am grateful for her generous spirit & wisdom as well as the bright hearts who circle with us. – Female, 43, Intuitive Psychotherapist, New York City, USA

The journey Jasmine guides our circles and group through is cosmic, floating through the stars and heavens, diving deep into Gaia’s depths, through the archetypes of goddesses, myths, legends and stories of the dark feminine throughout the ages. I have come to realise these stories are imprinted on each of our souls, the journey is one of self-remembering the ancient goddess within all of us, her darkness, her light, and every shade of being, presence, shakti and energy in-between. The depths that we go to have held me through one of the hardest moments of my life, enabling rebirth and phoenix-rising held by sisterhood. Womb wisdom and pure love embodies my heart in this space. I am so purely grateful xx – Female, 28, Coach, London, UK

This book club is so much more than anything I could have imagined. I have yearned with such deep longing for women, for circles, for community and to learn around a fire, to be held in my divine feminine. The space jasmine holds and the journeys we share diving into the mysteries of Marion Woodman’s work on the dark goddess has changed the course of my life. I couldn’t have gone through the last six months without this sisterhood. We share our wisdoms, our tears, our musings, our love, and we hold each other through all of it. We journey deep into our own and the collective psyche through the stories, myths, poetry, and magic that Marion, Jasmine and we all weave in this cosmic womb. I have gone through a death cycle, able to dive ever deeper with the tethering and support of this space, and I am rising for the first time in my power and my truth. I couldn’t be more grateful for all that Jasmine does, for all these women I now count as my sisters, my teachers, my guides. – Female, 28, London, UK
