About us
🌸 Welcome to Lajja Space!
Music • Movement • Mindfulness
Nestled in the heart of downtown Milwaukie, Lajja Space is a little sanctuary for the body, mind, heart, and soul. A place to slow down, breathe deeply, move freely, make beautiful music, and find meaningful connection with others.
If you've been seeking a peaceful moment of stillness, the joy of dancing barefoot, the healing vibrations of a sound bath, or simply a room full of kindhearted people who understand that life is a beautiful, mysterious journey, there's a place for you here.
Come as you are. All walks of life, all levels of experience, and all spiritual paths are welcome. 🌿

😌 Mindfulness — Come Back to Center
Take a breath. Let the world soften for a while. Through meditation, yoga, qigong, contemplative practices, and heartfelt conversations, we create space to reconnect with ourselves and the deeper core of life.
💃 Movement — Let Your Body Come Alive
Stretch, sway, dance, play, and rediscover the simple joy of being in a body! From gentle yoga and embodied movement to ecstatic dance and expressive exploration, we celebrate movement as a pathway to freedom, connection, and joy.
🎶 Music — Find Your Heart's True Song
There's something magical about making music together. Join us for singing circles, sound baths, chanting, devotional music, and other soulful gatherings where melodies turn strangers into friends. No musical experience necessary—just an open heart and a willingness to listen.

💗 Unquestioned Belonging!!!
Lajja is not your average studio. It's a safe haven for kindred spirits, curious minds, creative souls, gentle hearts, and anyone longing for a little more warmth, wonder, and belonging in everyday life. Some of us come to deepen our spiritual practice. Some come to heal, explore, create, or connect. Others simply want somewhere lovely to spend an afternoon.
There's no single way to belong here. No belief system to adopt, no perfect version of ourselves to become, and no expectation to be anything other than human.
Come to learn. Come to play. Come to rest. Come to be. 🦋

🌻 A Little Generosity Goes a Long Way
Lajja Space is a community-supported, nonprofit space sustained by the generosity of people like you. Our gatherings are offered by donation, and no one is turned away for lack of funds. We believe that opportunities for connection, creativity, and spiritual nourishment should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances.
If you're able to contribute, every donation matters! It helps keep our doors open, supports the wonderful teachers and facilitators who share their gifts, and makes it possible to welcome the next person who needs a little sanctuary.
Give what you can. Receive what you need. Help the circle keep growing. 💕

♀️ Women's Temple
Lajja Space, 10851 SE Main St, Milwaukie, OR 97222, USA, Milwaukie, OR, US🌸 That which we are longing for is who we already are.
Our Women's Temple at Lajja Space is a welcoming place to connect and empower one another as women. We share temple practices that support presence in the body, honor our inherent wisdom, and invite us into authenticity, vulnerability, and feminine flow.
🌿 What to Expect
Together we enter sacred space to:
- Move our bodies, dance, and sing
- Create, share wisdom, and listen deeply
- Laugh, connect, and explore respectful touch
- Mirror, celebrate, and empower one another
Each gathering is unique, shaped by the season, the collective mood, and the women holding the space.
🌎 Who It's For
All individuals who identify as women, or nonbinary with a feminine leaning, are welcome. Women's Temple is not therapy or a support group. It's a space where we can drop our masks and let the beauty of our authentic selves be seen.
🕯️ Hosted by We, the Women
A collective of women tends these gatherings, sharing facilitation and supporting one another in holding sacred space.
