Women's Circles
"There is nothing so wise as a circle" - Rainer Maria Rilke
Since ancient times, women have come together to tell stories, to laugh, to cry, and to support each other. Many of us are craving this kind of nonjudgmental support in what can be a lonely, isolating world.
Through coming together in women's circles, we can listen, speak, learn and share. We can feel deeply heard and accepted, and give the gift of our kind attention to others. We can remind ourselves that we are not alone, and that our very presence is a gift that heals ourselves and others.
In these circles, we will come together (in person or online) to meditate, reflect, act (move, create, speak!), and listen to each other. There will be a little bit of a structure, and some agreements to keep everyone safe, and we will share time, space and truth in a non-judgmental way. It's more than getting together for a good ol' chat (although there's nothing wrong with that!) - we set an intention to be open to the wisdom of all in the group, and to new possibilities for growth.
Women's circles can be held in person or online around a specific theme for your group, for the new moon or full moon, or other occasions. They can be a one-off event, or a regular part of your life.
Essentialise - An online women’s circle about getting to the heart of things
Sunday, 28th April at 7:30 pm Sydney time via Zoom
(I thought I might have made up this word but was somewhat relieved to see that it has been in the English language since at least the 1660s.)
One of the things I love about Autumn is to watch the leaves change colour and fall away. It’s a kind of poetic expression of the way that nature prepares for the scarcity and stillness of winter by releasing what it doesn’t need, only holding on to what it does.
While I’m no minimalist (anyone who has seen my book, crystal or plant collections would laugh at the thought), I really like this idea of getting to the heart of things, connecting to what really matters.
How do we discern what’s really important?
How do we hold on to what we really care about?
How do we release the things that are weighing us down or holding us back?
As always, I don’t pretend to have the answers, but we’ll learn a lot by leaning into the questions.
In our next online women’s circle we’ll be turning inwards and connecting with what really matters to us, and contemplating what might need to fall away (and how we can go about doing that).
I hope you’ll join the circle!
Here’s the details:
