Women’s circles
Women have been doing this since the beginning of time. They gathered together to draw on each other's strengths and support. Women gathered together for healing ceremonies on the Full and the New Moon. Long before the suppression of women these traditions honored the feminine, the Earth and celebrated fertility.
In a heartbreaking turn of events for the powerful healing forces of the sisterhood, relatively egalitarian societies developed into patriarchal social systems allowing the male impetus to become the dominant paradigm.This change began some 4000 years ago. There was an emphasis on cognitive learning and the suppression of the feminine force and the magic of intuition.The time has come to change that and come back together.
A sacred women's circle is vastly different from gossiping at a hen's night. The purpose of the circle is to assist every woman to receive support and empowerment to live her own unique life to its fullest. Many women suffer in silence from depression, loneliness and anxiety and science tells us that strong social connections have positive health protective and other profound effects.
When women come together in a circle they join together to embrace all in sacred space and intention, they share stories and work towards a deeper understanding of their own identity and that of the group.
