My guiding practice emerges at the intersection of art, embodiment, and collective healing. As a multidisciplinary artist, I am deeply interested in how somatic, medicinal, and ritual-based modalities can enrich—and be enriched by—creative practice. I guide not as an authority with answers, but as a companion who holds space for transformation to unfold through the body, the senses, and shared experience.

I have been engaged in animatic and somatic arts as part of an ongoing two-year experiential training with the Womb Alchemy School—an initiation into the sacred arts of the feminine. This work centres the body as a vessel of wisdom and memory, recognising how personal, ancestral, and cultural histories are carried somatically, and how healing must therefore be embodied, relational, and slow.

As part of this training, I joined 20 women in a village in Snowdonia, where I learned somatic and shamanic embodiment ceremonies, ritual spaces, and practices of deep self-care. Living and working communally, I cultivated skills in group dynamics, cohabitation, and shared responsibility as sites of transformation—where care, boundaries, and presence become practices in themselves.

Additionally, I participated in a nine-day devotional pilgrimage in the south of France, journeying through sacred sites of Mary Magdalene and engaging in daily ritual, movement, song, nature connection, and communal caretaking. This experience deepened my understanding of guiding as a relational and devotional practice—one rooted in listening, witnessing, and allowing transformation to arise collectively rather than be imposed.

My guiding role often weaves together multiple modalities: body-based rituals, nervous system awareness, creative writing, art therapy, and integration circles. In September 2025, I started a program focused on nervous system education with Irene Lyon, which informs how I hold space with sensitivity to trauma, regulation, and pacing. I have assisted in medicinal retreats, where my role centred on grounding, creative integration, and emotional support. I have also facilitated creative writing workshops in retreat settings, including Bahrain, Nepal and France, where writing became a tool for witnessing and meaning-making.

While some of the knowledge I work with may appear far from my cultural origins, my guiding is deeply informed by lineage and memory. I weave in practices learned from my grandmother, Arabic folk songs, and ancestral ways of knowing, allowing different knowledge systems to coexist without hierarchy. For me, this work belongs to a shared human inheritance—one that honours the sacred feminine, not as an abstract ideal, but as a lived, embodied intelligence.

At its core, my guiding is about accompaniment. I guide what cannot be walked alone. I create spaces where people can feel held—in their bodies, in their stories, and in their becoming—so that healing is not something done to them, but something remembered from within.
