A monthly circle gathering for women from July to October 2023.

Why do we circle together?

✦ To restore and rejuvenate your whole being through self-exploration and expression
✦ To dive into our inherent interconnectedness, to learn from and feel the support of other womxn
✦ To shift the feeling of aloneness and isolation to a feeling of deeper connection, support and receptivity
✦ To experience being seen, heard, and received in your honest self-expression
✦ To meet and join with other women in a community based on loving connection, resonant stories and deep support

What happens at the circle?

Each circle will be slightly different but based around the following structure:

✦ Opening and honouring of the traditional owners, and the women who are present, discussion of circle guidelines
✦ Meditative/creative practice or game to connect to self and others in circle
✦ Reflection and rest ritual - this will be based on yoga asana, journalling, meditation or yoga nidra.
✦ Supportive sharing/discussion circle - A chance to be seen and heard in a supportive space. There is no pressure to share, witnessing is welcome too. Share celebrations and challenges to know that you are not alone. All of you is welcome, just as you are.
✦ Closing circle, sharing tea and treats together.

This women’s circle is open to any folx experiencing the world through a femme lens.
