The “Mujer Cíclica” (Cyclical Woman) Team

I’m Sophia Style, creator and coordinator of Mujer Cíclica

This project springs from the desire to share everything that has served me on my journey as a woman, both on a personal level and from the experience of facilitating groups and guiding rituals and rites of passage.

My family roots are British and yet I feel very much a ‘citizen of the world’, after traveling and living in many different countries throughout my life. When I went to India at the age of 17 and learned about the marginalization of widowed women, I was deeply moved.  It was there that the seed of what is my current work with women was planted.

I am passionate about recovering ancestral female wisdom in the modern world, which I have been exploring across cultures through anthropological research and in women’s circles for almost 20 years.

In 2001, six of my friends became pregnant and I felt a strong call to begin supporting women in their transition into motherhood. I trained as a birth doula in England throughout 2002 with Olivia Seck and as a mentor for Birthing from Within with Pam England, and with this, rediscovered the role of the woman who supports others through their rites of passage.

From when I was a teenager until I was 25 years old, I experienced my monthly hormonal changes and the period as a “curse” (it is incredible that this is a commonly-used word used in England for menstruation), with intense pain and rejection, until I began a path of inner healing and deep reconciliation with the feminine and with my cycles. 

I’ve worked with Miranda Gray, author of ‘Red Moon: The Gifts of the Menstrual Cycle’, and I have trained with DeAnna L’am, creator of ‘’Red Moon: School of Feminine Wisdom for Women and Girls”.

My experience of growing as a woman on this rich inner journey for many these years, together with other women, has led me to share the fruits of this path through workshops, retreats and online trainings, so that other women can reconnect with their power and feminine wisdom and to help to create new role models for future generations of women.

In recent years, the scope of Mujer Cíclica has multiplied in such a way that in order to continue offering inspiration and courses and take care of the large international community of women connected to this project, I count on the support of Andrea, Carlota, Mónica, Sonia, Gemma and Marta, who dedicate part of their time to make it possible.

I’m Marta Pocurull

I am an inquisitive person and have always been eager to get to know the world and the people who live in it.

This interest has led me to a range of experiences in different parts of the world. The one that most marked my personal and professional life was my stay in Ethiopia, where I worked as a coordinator of development projects for ten years and where I learned a lot from the different professionals I worked with.

On a personal level, Ethiopia was where I became a mother of my three children and where we began our journey as a family. Motherhood was a great change for me and my priorities, and has led me to try and find a better balance between my personal and professional life.

All these experiences and knowledge has brought me to Mujer Cíclica, a project that I fell in love with in early 2021 and that I am very happy to be part of.

At Mujer Cíclica I am the person who accompanies you in the registration processes for courses and residential activities. I am also in charge of giving technical support to the entire team and I’m responsible for ensuring that the finances make sense and add up.
