a love quest into the essence of womanhood, tantric wisdom and the mysteries of the womb
With Raaji Amankay + Xochi Balfour
Leading art by Caroline Manière
Welcome, beloved sister, to Bloom From Within: a profound inquiry into womanhood, and a love quest into the essence of tantric wisdom and the mysteries of the womb.
In this gentle and safe online container, we journey into deeper and sacred dimensions of feminine sexuality, and sensual and erotic wisdom.
Bloom From Within is a call for the feminine mystery to awaken through your body and within your spirit. It is a shift from doing to being, into receiving and experiencing, and listening deeper to life. And - ultimately - resting into profound openness and intimacy, following your inner flow of fluid love, in the wombspace of the great mother.
These are big words, we know. Yet once we turn inside and pierce through the conditioning of what it means to be a woman and how we are supposed to feel and behave, and we allow healing, we discover that all of that does in fact lie within ourselves. and always has. The feminine body is the doorway to the love and the presence that so many of us are searching for.
Safe, trauma-informed and expertly-held, this is a loving invitation for you, your feminine body, your love organs, the feminine essence and its untamed spirit that dwells within. Our inner blooming is that of each of us, the collective womanhood in the circle that we co-create, as well as all women throughout time and space. And this blooming is an energetic process we tap into, an ancient lineage of generations of wise women coming together. to listen, to feel, to remember.

“It is time for the sexual essence of women to wake up on the planet. SHE is calling you. And you are feeling it. You feel under your skin that there is so much bliss that wants to wake up in your body, so much love that wants to radiate from you. You know it is a powerful force of awakening. And you sense that there is something awesomely unique about feminine sexual essence. However, the essence of female sexuality is not much understood in our world. We have forgotten how our sexuality expresses our spiritual essence as the Feminine. But SHE, the pure sexual Feminine, is waking up. She is ready to give birth, through you, to a new evolution of humanity. You can be part of this awakening.” - Shakti Malan

A Dive Into Feminine Tantra
Tantra is a path of love that offers new and conscious ways to experience sexuality and sensuality. When we become more sensitive and energies begin to flow freely within, a profound reconnection to the unique and exquisite feminine can flourish.
Tantra liberates, it empowers and roots one into the body, into mother earth, into this life. Tantra is a practice of weaving energies, it allowing deep acceptance and awakening our alchemical heart.
During Bloom From Within, women are invited to find new relationships with boundaries and communication, which seed real respect, self-love and relaxation. These tantric ways naturally open one for a de-conditioning of the mind and heart, as well as the feminine organs, and unleashes an untamed, sensual and erotic intelligence that allows women to blossom from deep within. So we can discover the blessing of our Love Organs, our breasts and Yoni, and taste the secrets that are held within their original matrix. This is often experienced as a remembering of something long forgotten, a profound alignment and a coming home. A nourishing space of sisterhood is arising in this work: a circle of women supporting each other, exploring together tantric exercises, meditations and movement as well as healing rituals and self-expression practices.
Together, we create a space with the quality of a sacred temple in which profound transformation can happen. It is not so much about analysing oneself, solving problems or trying to get rid of something: it is rather about entering a mystic realm where all is welcome, felt and expressed through the body. It is a call to own and celebrate womanhood, rise out of collective female conditioning and remember the essence of the feminine.
“Raaji facilitates beautiful workshops that allow you to experience healing both personally and ancestrally, to connect deeper to the inner wisdom and power of the divine feminine and to support other women in a nurturing safe space.”

“[This work with Raaji] was profound and empowering. Although there was fascinating knowledge imparted, for me it was less about learning something new and more about being guided to uncover wisdom that I already had, but had not been conscious of. It was like finding a voice that had been muted and letting it sing. I am deeply grateful for the ways this work continues to bless my experience, and am eager for more.”
“Working with Xochi has been one of the biggest gifts of my life, she’s taught me to weave with the elements, to pray with the Earth, to cut off all that it’s no longer needed and to stand in my self- believe, truth and power. Do it! It’s pure medicine!”
