Women's Circle – A Supportive, Safe and Authentic Space
Facilitated by Rivka Savitri – Holistic Bodywork & Somatic Massage Therapist, Yoga Teacher
📅 Wednesday, August 13 | 🕒 4pm - 6:00pm
Women's Circle – A supportive, safe and authentic space for women to reflect, share, and grow together.
This is a space for real talk — where women can show up as they are. No need to hold it all together; no pressure to be anyone but yourself. We’ve earned wisdom through experience. We are strong, tender, and capable of holding space for one another with depth and care.
Many of us are navigating significant life transitions — living far from family, caring for ageing or ill loved ones, redefining ourselves after divorce, loss, or retirement, and starting over in a new country, sometimes alone, sometimes with a partner. At the same time, we may feel a quiet desire to bring more intimacy into our lives — deeper connection with others, and with ourselves — even if we’re not quite sure how to begin. The physical and emotional shifts of menopause and ageing beyond that time can also change how we relate to our bodies, our sense of self, and our comfort with sexuality. These are tender, complex changes, and they deserve space to be acknowledged and explored in a supportive compassionate space.
Together, we’ll explore:
~Building comfort and trust through authentic connection
~The importance of feeling seen, heard, and valued
~Learning from each other’s stories and strength
~Reconnecting with parts of ourselves we may have misplaced
This isn’t therapy, and it’s not about fixing anything. It’s about making space for ourselves — for truth, reflection, and the resilience that comes from being in community with women who understand what it means to begin again..

Men's Circle – A Real Space for Connection
Facilitated by Arlindo Martins (Empowered Ageing Founder) and Ken Eriksen
📅Wednesday, August 13 | 🕒 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Men’s Circle – A Space for Real Connection
If you’re longing to be among men without needing to perform, impress, or pretend — just show up as you are, Brother.
This circle offers a powerful space for men to share their personal stories, reflect on life’s transitions, and grow in emotional strength and resilience. In a world that often teaches men to stay silent about their struggles, we come together to speak honestly, listen deeply, and support one another on the journey of ageing with grace and purpose.
Our guiding theme this month:
“How to Face Life’s Challenges as the Body Ages – and Overcome Them Through Experience.”
We’ll explore:
• What it means to age with dignity as a man
• How to navigate physical changes without shame or fear
• Emotional well-being and the power of vulnerability
• Learning from each other’s life stories and hard-earned wisdom
Rooted in the values of Empowered Ageing and inspired by Blue Zone principles, this circle is not therapy — it’s a conversation, a community, and a catalyst for growth.
Come to listen. Come to speak. Come to remember you're not alone.
