This is your sacred space to root down, rise up, and bloom, from within.

by Ella Giljam

“From the depths of the soil, we bloom.”

Dear you,

At Soil & Blooming, I guide women on a pathway home, to their true essence. In a world that often pulls us away from our natural rhythm, I offer a space to slow down, to listen, and to reconnect — with the body, with the earth, and with the quiet wisdom that lives within. Through embodied practices, nature-based rituals, and soul journeys, I support you in remembering what has always been true: that your body is wise, your path is sacred, and your essence is whole.

This is not a quick fix. It’s a soft returning. A rooting into the soil of who you are, so that you may bloom — in your own time, in your own way, in deep alignment with your truth.

With Soil & Blooming, I create sacred spaces in nature where we attune to the wisdom of the Earth and the shifting seasons, both around us and within us.

Each gathering is an invitation to slow down and reconnect with your essence. Through a rich blend of practices, rituals, and ceremonies, we align with the energy of the current season and explore the mirrors it offers for our inner world.

These gatherings offer a gentle blend of:

shamanism ❀ breathwork ❀ astrology ❀ sound healing ❀ herbal wisdom ❀
creative expression ❀ embodiment practices ❀ rituals & ceremony — and more.

A return to nature. A return to self.

With love, Ella

About Soil & Blooming

Soil & Blooming was born after a long time being on my own personal path. Digging, planting, nurturing and composting. The natural world helped me to reflect on my journey and understanding the process I went through. Nature not only showed me about my own journey, but helped me to be here on Earth, to land in my body and to slow down.
