Get sweaty, get muddy and shut up

Kahreela, Ekbalu and Gloria discuss in depth the amazing benefits of a traditional Temazcale, a traditional Mexican sweat lodge used for purification, healing, and spiritual rituals. The word comes from the Nahuatl language: temaz meaning “steam” or “bath,” and calli meaning “house”It has deep roots in indigenous Mesoamerican cultures, including the Aztecs and Mayans.

They go on to discuss the ceremony in depth and the importance and benefits of sweating and how we can use this to assist in stripping away confines and invisible restrictions of modern life as well as an amazing way to enhance our connection to nature and to spirit.

Gloria is a Mexican curandera, artist, and space holder. With more than ten years of experience in bodywork, yoga, and breathwork, she now dedicates her path to guiding temazcales and ceremonies that bring people back to their essence. Her work is rooted in connection with the body, with nature, and with each other, always creating spaces where vulnerability and joy can coexist.

Kahreela engages in a searing and honest conversation with Samaher, a Palestinian filmmaker who speaks with unflinching truth about her experience as a Palestinian woman — the displacement of her people, and her anger at the greed of the 1% and the violence of patriarchy. Their conversation also honours the deep power of the land, and the sacred right every person holds to access the land they were born to.

Samaher Alqadi is a Palestinian filmmaker and screenwriter, born as one of nine children in the ALJalazone refugee camp near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. 

She emerging voice in Arabic documentary filmmaking, focusing on powerful narratives that explore the evolving status of women and dissident artists in the Middle East. Her work often delves into personal experiences and sheds light on the realities of life in Palestine.

Her first feature-length documentary, As I Want, has been screened at more than 100 international festivals and has won 18 awards, including Best Film and the Audience Award at the International Festival de Femme in Paris, as well as recognition from the Bordeaux International Film Festival. Through words left unsaid to her late mother, As I Want examines the chains of her childhood and highlights the power of women in revolutionary struggles against all odds.

Currently, Samaher is working on an exciting new project that seeks to bridge French and Palestinian cinema through a French-Palestinian production collaboration. Her longstanding dedication to cinema and the arts, combined with her deep cultural and linguistic ties to both Palestine and France, speaks to her value as an active contributor to French society and culture.

In this raw and reflective conversation, Kahreela, Ekbalu and Chantelle explore Tantra, embodiment, and the radical importance of presence in sex and intimacy. They discuss how trauma impacts our ability to feel safe in the body, challenge the illusion of “safe space” in the new-age spiritual scene, and break down the myths of manifestation — revealing how easily it can be misunderstood and misused.

Chantelle is the Founder and a lead teacher and Tantric practitioner with the Embodied Awakening Academy.

Chantelle has a passion for spiritual awakening, a deep love for people and a unique understanding of the psyche, the body and sexuality. Originally trained as a lawyer (LLB, University of Melbourne) with Hons in Philosophy, Chantelle went on to complete two years training in Rudolf Steiner Education, followed by the completion of a certificate in Holistic Counselling. A committed mother of two, her career started in wellness and women’s health whilst at the same time pursuing a corporate career, working her way up to become CEO of an interstate sales business. When Chantelle experienced a massive personal health crisis (cervical cancer) she then placed all her time and commitment into the alternative healing arts where she uncovered her heart’s vocation in Tantra.

Not long after surrendering to her calling, Chantelle trained with one of the world’s largest contemporary sacred-sexuality training organisations. After supporting on trainings for several years and learning under some of the best Tantra Teachers in the world, she became a facilitator and trainer, covering Australia, Europe, Asia and the Middle-East. Chantelle has been working in the field of human development for almost two decades now and has dedicated her life to supporting individuals and groups across the planet to awaken consciousness in our sexuality and in our bodies, to release sexual trauma and de-armour blocks in the subtle body, to bring more awareness to the relationship between the inner and outer masculine and to awaken the deep feminine in women’s work.

Chantelle resides in Bali with the EAA team, balancing her professional life of writing, private-practice, facilitating women’s work, workshops and travel with her much beloved family. She has a particular interest in supporting women to deepen in their love for themselves and others, and does so through The Living Tantra Series, as well as residential and online trainings and coaching.

Kahreela and Ekbalu sit down for a powerful, intimate conversation with Nikki Antonaccio — The Nutrition Psychology Coach, recognised as one of the UK’s leading trauma-informed women’s health practitioners. Known for her work helping ambitious women break free from emotional eating, chronic stress, and burnout, Nikki brings a rare blend of compassion, clinical insight, and lived experience to every discussion.

What unfolds between them is a deep and honest exploration of how trauma and nervous system dysregulation shape women’s health on every level—from hormones and hunger signals to energy, focus, and self-worth. They delve into the psychology behind emotional eating, revealing why willpower has so little to do with lasting change, and why the real work begins in the body’s sense of safety.

The conversation moves through experiences of ADHD and high-functioning anxiety, shedding light on how these internal landscapes affect performance, wellbeing, and the pressure to “keep it all together.” It also touches tenderly on healing from narcissistic abuse, the slow rebuilding of trust in oneself, and what it means to reclaim the body as a place of home again.

Together, they rethink what success and achievement look like for women who have been conditioned to push through their own needs, and they explore how nervous system regulation can transform not just weight loss, but clarity, emotional resilience, and the ability to thrive in everyday life.

Nikki’s presence grounds the entire conversation, weaving together nutrition psychology, trauma-informed coaching, and somatic wisdom to show that sustainable change is never about restriction — it’s about finally feeling safe enough to shift.

Nikki is a trauma-informed women’s health and nutrition psychology coach, speaker, and founder of Best Version Yet™, a holistic coaching brand helping ambitious women regulate their nervous systems, heal emotional eating, and thrive in life, business, and health. Her approach blends neuroscience, psychology, and somatic coaching to create transformation from the inside out.

Kahreela and Ekbalu sit down with the remarkable Yasmin Sidhwa for a rich and powerful conversation about the transformative force of art—particularly theatre—and its ability to reshape the world around us. Together, they explore how storytelling cultivates empathy and compassion, especially in the places where these qualities are most needed.

They dive into the profound relationship between inner work and outer social change, revealing how truly listening to people’s stories—beyond the headlines, beyond the noise, beyond the propaganda we’re fed every day—can shift perspectives, open hearts, and spark collective healing.

The conversation also journeys back to the origins of theatre, unpacking its earliest intentions and how the art form has evolved. They speak candidly about the impact of monetisation—how it has reshaped theatre, and not always for the better—raising vital questions about accessibility, purpose, and who gets to tell their stories.

It’s an honest, expansive, and inspiring exploration of why theatre still matters, how it continues to change lives, and who it is (and isn’t) currently available to.

Yasmin Sidhwa FRSA is the Artistic Director of Mandala Theatre Company, a nationally and internationally touring company based in Oxford, UK. Mandala creates visceral, socially charged theatre that amplifies voices too often ignored, making the invisible visible. The company also champions pathways into the arts for young people from Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, and white working-class backgrounds—ensuring the next generation of storytellers is diverse, empowered, and heard.
