There’s something about October that feels like an exhale. The light softens, the spring winds stir, and a gentle returning begins. For many of us, this month carries a quieter rhythm. One that calls us back to the body, back to nourishment, back to what matters.
October 2025
With the changing wind and Spring gently stirring beneath the surface, there’s a collective shift, a desire not just to feel lighter in the body, but to reconnect with the parts of ourselves that may have been dormant during winter.
September 2025
There’s a yearning for the sun as winter is soon behind us. A stirring under the surface, subtle, not quite spring, but something quietly preparing for it. We notice it in your skin, in the breath, in the way treatments are being booked. There’s a desire to re-emerge, but gently.
August 2025
As we lean into winter’s middle stretch, many of you are finding warmth within our Chakana rituals. In their stillness, and the knowing you are held.
July 2025
As the days shorten and the cool sets in, the body begins to ask for something gentler. At Chakana, we honour winter not as a time to push through, but as a time to listen deeply—to rest, restore, and tend to the parts of us that often go unheard.This season, we invite you to pause with us. To lie down. To be held.

Hello our Beautiful Kindreds,As we enter May, our hearts turn to Mother’s Day and the incredible women who give so much. We see you, dear mothers – carrying the invisible load of daily life. The constant mental checklists, the emotional labor of keeping everyone cared for, the stress absorbed and soothed with a loving touch. Mothers are so often porous to others’ needs, feeling every joy and pain of their loved ones as if it were their own.
May 2025
Welcome to April – the season of mellow autumn afternoons and gentle reflection. As the air grows crisper and the days gradually shorten, we are reminded of the precious value of “me time.”
In a world that often pulls us in every direction, taking a moment to pause and reconnect with ourselves is not a luxury – it’s a holistic necessity for our wellbeing and inner harmony.
