Monthly Conscious Community Circles

Ongoing

A women's circle is essentially what it sounds like: a group of women gathered in a circle, sharing stories and space with each other.

Yet these circles are so much more. Not only are they powerful ways to expand your conscious while nurturing community – they're also ancient practices that date back to the birth of storytelling itself.

These gatherings aim to empower and uplift one another. Circles are safe spaces for women to share what’s on their minds, sometimes for the first time in their life, without fear of judgment or ridicule. Each month we meet with a fresh topic. I usually bring a question or so that requires honest and deep reflection. This container encourages others to share and connect, while teaching what it means to “hold safe space” for each other. The goal is to be open, vulnerable and kind to each other while building a sense of sisterhood and community among the group.

Members of the circle practice deep listening, which means avoiding the pull to offer advice and instead genuinely listening closely to others' stories and honoring their experiences without the need to fix or help.

Women's circles are powerful because they are not spaces for debate or agendas. Instead, they're all about honoring and affirming one another. We practice deep listening, resisting the urge to offer advice and our opinions. We hold space for each other.

What Women’s Circles Are Not

Women’s circles are not happy hour or time to network. They’re not gathering over drinks and foods or other numbing agents which keep our senses preoccupied and attention elsewhere. These circles are an invitation to turn inward. To heal, grow and transform. To pay attention to what comes up when being asked challenging questions and listening to others' stories.

Instead of seeking comfort from the usual distractions, we remove the externals. We tune into our bodies. We quiet our minds and listen from within.

For some, just the thought of being still and removing the constant stimuli can cause a bit of discomfort.

That’s yet another reason circles can be tremendously helpful. You’ll be held safely. You’ll realize you’re not alone with your concerns, fears, stresses or anxiety.

You’ll find the other like-minded women who read this and said, "Yes, I am ready!"
