Book Club

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 runs an online therapeutic reading group on Zoom. Join us using either audio or video for a group exploration of the book we are journeying with.

There is no reading outside the group as we read the book together

You can either participate and share your thoughts on the reading, relate it to your own personal experience or just listen along to the discussion and hear other people’s journeys as food for the soul. You’ll also be able to ask questions to the other group members and the psychotherapist leading the group.  

You may join in the middle of a current book

New Book Starting Soon… Please register your interest at the bottom of the page!

‘DANCING IN THE FLAMES’ by MARION WOODMAN

This new 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.

Who can join?

Any woman interested in transpersonal and jungian depth psychology or has experience of psychotherapy. 

Who is the facilitator?

This group is run by Transpersonal Integrative psychotherapist, Jasmine Jarchevska. To read more about Jasmine click here.

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. You will need a pair of earphones or headphones to help offset background noise. Get comfy blankets, pillows and cushions – somewhere snuggly like a bed or sofa. Light some candles, incense or use essential oils to create a sacred ritual space. Make a cup of tea and glass of water. You are more than welcome to lay out your favourite oracle or tarot card decks and wear comfy clothes, pyjamas are definitely favoured on cold winter evenings!

How does it work technically?

The group will be held on Zoom, which will need to be downloaded onto the device you will join us with (phone/laptop).

We also have a messenger group for connection and sharing on the optional homework during the month.

What is the cost? 

These circles are free of charge and held as an offering from Jasmine. If you’d like to buy Jasmine a cup of cacao as an energy exchange or make a monthly, quarterly or yearly membership donation you are welcome to here – Support Our Work.
