Monthly Women's and Men's Circle
Every month at Pagir, we gather in a circle, women on Saturdays, men on Sundays, to slow down, listen, and return to ourselves. Each circle introduces a simple embodiment tool that can be carried into daily life. We are beings of the earth and embodiment is the best way to be fully present here.
“No one can care for you better than yourself. No other person can provide the deep palliative medicine of the soul. A partner can hand you back the shattered pieces of yourself in good order after disaster, and we may always find some comfort in love. A close friend can be a brief surrogate. But in hard times, we need a near-constant source of connection and guidance, the wellspring of vitality within the core of our being. Often it is anguish that finally turns us toward wisdom.”
— Inspired by Toko-pa Turner, Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home
Wisdom can come in many forms: in a sharing circle, through the story of someone you find resonance with, or in the space between what was said and what wasn’t. It reveals itself in presence, in how we sit with what arises, and in the tools we use to contain and hold it.
Containment will happen in the circle, naturally. You may choose to share, or you may simply listen. Both are sacred. Consent is central to our space. You never have to do or say anything you don’t want to.
Come as you are.
Bring your body, your breath, and your heart.
We’ll hold what emerges together
This month’s theme is an Introduction to Self-Healing Work.
There is only one way to do inner work by doing it yourself. No therapist, facilitator, or mentor can do it for you. No one knows you better than yourself. Let's talk about this and anything else thats present for you that needs to be shared and witnessed.

5 - 7 PM, Saturday 12 Sept, 2026
at Pagir, Thiruvanmiyur, Chennai
The Vessel is the container, the cup, the body, the home: the structure that holds what is tender, heavy, or in transition. A vessel protects what it contains through the simple act of separation, offering boundaries, clarity, and space.
In this circle, we explore the state of our inner vessel with honesty and gentleness.
Is it holding too tightly or too loosely?
Does it feel cracked, overflowing, or empty?
Is something spilling out, or is there room for what truly matters?
A well-held vessel feels steady and spacious; when it isn’t, we may feel trapped, uncontained, or without grounding.
The Vessel is an invitation to sit with this together slowly, safely, and without pressure.
You may choose to share, or you may simply listen. Both are welcomed. What’s shared here stays here.
A soft space to reconnect with your inner container and with each other.
In a world that asks men to be strong, certain, and unshaken, The Cave is a place to lay that weight down, a space to step away from the noise and return to the sacred center within.
This circle is an invitation to enter The Cave together to reconnect with your inner world, find compassion, and build self-understanding in brotherhood.
Here, we answer that call safely, intentionally, and in community.
You may choose to share, or you may simply sit and listen. Both are welcomed.
What’s shared here stays here.
A space to tend the fire within side by side, not alone.
