Feminine Heart Nourishment
The Sacred Feminine
Nicole and Shabnam met synchronistically on the magical island of Sumbawa in Indonesia in the spring of 2019. Shabnam then joined Nicole’s 3 month “Divine Feminine Soul Leadership Program” in the fall of 2019.
In the autumn of 2024 while both living in Germany they facilitated their first Workshop together at Place to Be Yoga Studio in downtown Munich entitled “Feminine Heart Nourishment: Full Moon Sacred Women Circle”.
Both share a passion for awakening, embodying, and honouring the feminine essence within, while courageously living from the heart in a world that does not encourage women to honour their full sacred feminine essence, intuition and deeper wisdom.
Shabnam Ananda, is Certified Yoga Teacher who has been practicing yoga herself for the last 25 years, and has been facilitating retreats for women the last 10 years. She has extensive training in Vinyasa Krama, Hatha Yoga, Tantric Yoga, Yin Yoga, and trauma-sensitive yoga. She is both a guide and mentor for women in awakening their heart, and reconnecting back to a place of inner wholeness and self love. She loves to create a sacred and nurturing space for women in their processes of healing and transformation. She herself has healed from CPTSD, and is very sensitive to the needs of others on their healing journey through masterfully walking her own path of healing and transformation the last decade. She is also in the process of completing her Masters degree in Transpersonal Psychology, Consciousness and Spirituality. Shabnam has created and lead various retreats and workshops, travelled extensively and lived in 7 different countries in various continents. Shabnam embodies warmth of heart, compassion, empathy and is a teacher and leader of the heart.

Nicole has been considered by many to be an inspirational leader for the new generation and has inspired and empowered the lives of thousands of women around the world through her Youtube Channel, videos, writings and teachings. Nicole initiates, awakens, and activates the Sacred Feminine within women and supports women in reconnecting back to their heart, soul, sovereignty and inner wisdom. As a modern-day priestess, she guides women back to their true nature and heart’s illumination. Nicole loves to guide women on sacred pilgrimages.
