Women in Leadership - Leading from deep within
Women in Leadership: Leading from deep within is a programme for women who are ready to step into leadership as a birthright. Women are born leaders. In Sacred circles is where the real connections and the real transformation happen.

THE PROGRAMME:

29th of April: Finding Your Voice
The earth blooms. So does women. Speaking your truth, being truly heard, and using your voice as the most powerful leadership tool you have. Set your intent for this programme and allow yourself to be seen.
13th of May: The Vision
Dreaming the future you are here to build. Clarifying your vision with the full force, leaving behind what holds you back.
27th of May: Roots & Ancestry
The harvest. Going deep into lineage, ancestry, and the women who led before us. Reclaiming inherited wisdom as a living force in your leadership.
10th of June: Shadow & Gold
The perfect time for shadow work is here and is now. The parts of ourselves we hide and why they hold our most extraordinary gifts as leaders.
24th of June: Legacy
What are you building? What will you leave behind? Deep sisterhood work. The leadership that lives not in titles or money but in the lives we change.

ABOUT CLAUDIA
Author - Shamanic Healer and teacher - Leadership Facilitator - Co-founder of 4 organisations - Visionary
I have been walking this path for over thirty years — as a leader in the charitable and business sectors, as a shamanic healer and teacher, as a community builder across Scotland and Brazil, and as a woman who has built, broken, healed, and built again.
I am the co-founder of the Planetary Healing Centre, the Edinburgh Shamanic Centre, Youth Vision Charity in Scotland and the Recanto do Beija-Flor in Brazil. I am the author of Shamanism as Medicine. I am passionate about supporting indigenous peoples in my homeland through the Indigenous Project.
But more than any of those things — I am a woman who has lived what I teach. The leadership I bring to this circle is not theoretical. It is not academic. It comes from 30 years of falling and rising, building and releasing, serving and learning when to finally serve myself.
I do not teach leadership from a textbook.
I teach it from a life fully lived. Are you ready?
9pm - Comming together
For one hour after each gathering, participants are warmly invited to stay — to continue the conversation more informally, build connections with other women, and simply enjoy the company of other women.
