What are Women's Circles?

Let's share the magic of
gathering together as women.
Magic happens when women gather with intention and love to:
-
listen and be heard
-
encourage and support
-
feel safe and held
-
be seen and accepted
-
empower the feminine
-
connect to the cycles of life, both inner and outer
-
heal our own Red Threads (female ancestral lineage)
-
connect lovingly with ourselves, and other women
Together we create a safe space.
​
When we gather this way, in circle, magic happens.

CREATING A SAFE CONTAINER
​
Self Care and Responsibility
​
One of the most important aspects of gathering in this way is the agreements we make with ourselves and each other.
The keeping of these agreements ensures that we are all safe. Feeling safe allows us to go deeper; to allow ourselves to be vulnerable, to witness other women in their vulnerability, all with our loving presence; to make heart-full connections; and to experience something exquisite with our sisters.
​
Circle Agreements
-
Confidentiality – no story or details of another woman is to be spoken outside of the circle. You may of course share your own experiences and stories.
-
Personal responsibility – if we need something (emotional support, physical movement, the toilet, a drink, to share something, etc.) then we must take responsibility for meeting that need, whether through asking someone else, or taking care of it ourselves.
-
Only one woman speaks at once – we will be using a talking bowl which will be passed around the circle. Quite simply, if we don’t have the bowl, we are not talking, we are listening.
-
Listening with the ears of our hearts – when we listen in this way we are ‘active listening’, not thinking of what we want to say next, or day dreaming about our experiences, or judging what is being said.
-
Consent – we all have different comfort levels around closeness and touching for various reasons that may not always be clear to others, so it is important that we respect this and ‘check-in’ before hugging etc. and not take it personally if the other woman needs some space.

Acknowledgements
​
I give great thanks to those who have been my teachers in this work, most especially Jane Hardwicke Collings and the School of Shamanic Womancraft. And, to all the women who have gone before me, without whom I would not be here. Jane wrote "Herstory: womanifesto" which you can download for free by clicking on the book's image on this page.

I look forward to sitting in circle with you soul sister! x​
