A SPACE WHERE ALL OF YOU IS CELEBRATED:
WOMEN'S CIRCLE with Claire Poho
A guy in one of my mixed circles once said, about an hour in:
"The energy in this room has completely shifted since we started."
He was a normal dude — not the type to talk about energy.
He just noticed what everyone was feeling: that somewhere between the opening meditation and his share, the antsiness, the overthinking, discomfort, and shyness had dissipated.
Everyone's faces relaxed. They stopped fidgeting. They broke the silence and shared what was really going on.
This is what this circle is.
Not a networking event. Not a therapy session. Not a moon circle with crystals.
It's a grounded, intimate space where women from around the world come to exhale, say the real thing — and leave with a completely different energy.
IS THIS FOR YOU?
You love your life. And you're also hungry for conversations that go deeper.
Maybe you're a woman who has lived in different places and reinvented herself many times along the way. You know how to land somewhere new.
But sometimes, even with people you love, you feel it stays kinda surface-level... You crave more depth but haven't found the space for it yet.
This circle is that space: a place where you don't have to impress, wear a mask or stay "high vibe". Where you can say the full truth — the thing you're proud of, the ugly thing, the situation you're really confused about...
It's a space for you to be heard. Fully seen. And held.
And a needed reminded that you're not alone. 💗
WHAT THIS ISN'T:
🚫 A networking event — there’s no need to impress anyone or sell yourself to anyone.
🚫 A mystical gathering where we’ll howl at the moon and place crystals on our bodies.*
🚫 A space to complain about men or discuss the best hair salons in town.
🚫 A chatting party where we try to “figure out” our lives with our overthinking minds.
*And hey, I actually like crystals. I just don’t make them the main characters of the experience. I’d prefer your tender thoughts and feelings took that spotlight instead. 🤍
WHAT THIS IS:
✨ An intimate gathering inviting raw conversations and explorations, emotional expression, and deep connection.
✨ A grounded space to pause, descend into our bodies, and just be fully present.
✨ A non-judgmental community where you don’t have to censor yourself: unhinged joy, pain, anger, ambition, uncertainty, and desire are all welcome.
✨ An invitation to stop holding it all together, drop the masks, receive support, and heal.
What to expect:
-
A grounding meditation to help you land in your body
-
Deep presence (phones off)
-
Non-judgmental sharing (your struggles or self-sabotaging patters are welcome with love 🤍)
-
Emotional safety + confidentiality
-
A nourishing mix of conversation, stillness, laughter, and depth
-
Mentorship -- if you desire it.
What we honor:
-
Confidentiality — what’s shared in the circle stays in the circle
-
Respect for diverse perspectives — including different cultures, backgrounds, and life experiences.
-
Consent before offering feedback (“Can I offer something?”)
-
Openness to see things differently — an invitation for growth
-
Equality — we are all sharing and learning together
ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR:
HOW I STARTED LEADING WOMEN'S CIRCLES
During COVID, I discovered online healing spaces where deep connection, vulnerable sharing, and a grounded openness to spirituality were the norm.
They changed my life.
For a long time, I only had this kind of connection online. And not just because of COVID: I’ve spent the last 11 years moving from country to country. And as an expat woman constantly adjusting to new cultures, languages, and rhythms of life, I rarely found these kinds of communities in the places I landed.
I was craving real connection, not just another expat get-together, not just small talk over drinks, but spaces that felt safe, grounded, emotionally alive.
And for a long time, they simply didn’t exist around me.
So when online spaces suddenly made them accessible, I clung to them.
They became my lifeline.
But eventually, I started craving it in real life. So when in-person events came back, I was ecstatic to finally gather again.
But pretty quickly… I felt disappointed.
After the initial excitement wore off, I realized that most events just didn’t meet the depth or authenticity I was used to. Something felt off... Like I had to keep my guard up. Like we were talking, but not really connecting.
And I get it: I’m lucky to be part of communities where spirituality is paired with realness. Where emotional safety, grounded leadership, and integrity are non-negotiables. My standards are high.
But too many “conscious” or “spiritual” spaces felt ungrounded, performative, or even unsafe. And the truth is:
If the facilitator isn’t fully anchored… the space won’t feel stable.
And if there’s no energetic safety, people won’t actually relax enough to open.
They’ll keep their masks on.
And real connection won’t happen.
I kept hearing the same thing from others too:
A friend told me his female friend had tried several women’s groups but said they were all “too woo-woo” or focused on placing crystals on her body. He told me I should start my own—because my approach felt “practical.” (I call it grounded.)
Another friend said a men’s circle he joined completely shut down after the facilitator interrupted the first moment of real emotional depth. He left disillusioned.
And that was the moment I realized: This is why I’m here.
To create the kind of space I was always looking for.
A space where we don’t bypass the human.
A space that’s energetically clean, emotionally grounded, and safe.
A space for real women to connect in real ways.
And yes: for women.
For a long time, I resisted “women-only” spaces.
It felt cliché. Weird. Unnecessary. Cringe.
What are we gonna talk about? Pads and nails? 😳😅
But underneath that resistance was wounding.
Rejection of my own womanhood. Fear of being too much. Shame for my female body.
And once I started healing that, I realized how deeply I needed to be in the company of women.
Not to gossip or complain. But to remember who we are, together.
Women’s circles aren’t about being perfect, spiritual, or soft all the time.
They’re about being seen.
Being honest.
And coming back to yourself, through connection with others.
That’s why I started this — originally in Medellín, where I found home.
And now I'm bringing it to women everywhere.

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR: MEET CLAIRE POHO
Through trusting strangers while hitchhiking through foreign countries. Surrendering to the unknown when China closed its borders, leaving her locked out without her belongings for years. Finding the gold in the unexpected — like landing a job with royal billionaires while she waited to return to China. Realizing that stability wasn't a place but a state of being — after taking a "stable" job in a tiny Swiss village, only to move 8 times in 8 months. Reclaiming her feminine fire by saying yes to performing in a burlesque show in New York. Surrendering to her soul in deeply challenging medicine ceremonies. Letting go of control and learning to trust the masculine lead through bachata.
And most importantly: allowing herself to feel fully, without judgment.
Through it all, one realization landed hard: for years she had been operating from hyper-independence. Pushing, proving, chasing achievement... Like so many independent, well-traveled women, she knew how to “thrive under pressure”. But not how to truly surrender and trust.
Until she discovered that the striving, the achieving, the holding it all together — was actually the thing keeping her from the life she wanted. That the path to magnetism, deep love, and feeling truly alive wasn't about becoming stronger. It was about becoming more herself. Fully. Without apology.
That's when everything changed.
Today Claire works with women who have built a life that looks great on paper, and are ready for one that feels as delicious as it looks.
As a feminine radiance mentor and relationship artist, she is known for the rare combination of psychological sophistication, spiritual depth without bypassing, and uncompromising integrity she brings to her work; and for the quality of presence that makes women feel genuinely safe to go to places they've never gone before.
Want to hear her full story? Listen to the origin story episode on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube. You can also follow her on Instagram.
Born in Bohemia, the land that gave "Boho" its name, Claire isn't an average Czech, nor an average boho.
Centuries ago, "Bohemian" became shorthand for the free spirits, artists, and wanderers who rejected rigid systems in favor of creativity, depth, and full self-expression. Claire built her life on that very belief — that pleasure, freedom, and radical self-expression are our birthright.
But she didn't always know that.
For years, she tried to reconcile her free spirit with the good girl she thought she should be. She chased freedom, adventure, and wild experiences across the world — but with the same intensity, she chased success.
The result was a life most people could only dream of.
She has lived in 13 countries, mastered 8 languages, and studied at the world's top universities — in foreign countries and foreign languages: a trilingual BA in Politics from Sciences Po Paris, an MA in International Relations and Chinese Foreign Policy from Tsinghua University, linguistics at Cambridge, law in Paris, philosophy in Berlin. Professional experience spanning diplomacy, journalism, education, and corporate consulting across continents.
She worked relentlessly, pushing herself to be better, smarter, more accomplished.
And then she walked away.
Because no matter how much she achieved, no matter how many milestones she hit — she was still chasing something. Still proving something. What she was really chasing was the full, raw experience of being human.
