Chameli sits down with psychologist and writer, Ailey Jolie to explore how the culture we live in shapes our nervous systems, and why simply regulating ourselves isn’t enough when systems themselves dysregulate us.

They discuss the relief and healing that can come when the systemic abuse of the female body is named, and how symptoms like anxiety and hypervigilance can be healthy signals signaling deeper truths.

The conversation unveils how women have sometimes betrayed one another in the pursuit of power within a patriarchal system, and why finding healing in circle—where bodies and stories can mend together—holds transformative power.

Twenty years ago, Chameli and Helena Montelius came together for the first Women’s Temple, to remember the sacred within the body, to listen, to breathe, to pray in movement and stillness.

In this special anniversary conversation, Chameli and Helena reflect on what has sustained their Temple group through all the changes of life, the births and endings, the ebbs and flows, the laughter and the tears. They speak about the nourishment of being in Temple together, about friendship, and about the power showing up again and again to remember what truly matters.
