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.
