Description

You are invited to a powerful and supportive Feminine Healing Circle, open to feminine-identified people. You are invited to a powerful and supportive Feminine Healing Circle where you can be witnessed in your healing, where you can witness the healing of others, and where you can feel held and supported in a nourishing web of sisterhood. The circle is open to all feminine-identified people. The intention of this circle is to create a sacred space in which women can connect more deeply to themselves, to each other, and to Mother Earth. The Healing Circle will offer a safe, supportive space for each woman to share her experience and receive support. Emotional patterns can be processed and released, power can be returned, and group ritual can support each woman in reclaiming her own power and healing. Within the structure of the circle, there is no hierarchy; each woman’s voice is equally important, her story honored and received fully. In this sacred space, a collective power is harnessed. And when there is focused intent on healing – individually and collectively – magic happens. The support, creativity, and sharing of ideas that is fostered in women’s circles has the power to translate into something much larger and more palpable. There is a ripple effect that positively impacts society at large.

GROUP GUIDELINES 1. One person speaks at a time. This ensures that no one person dominates the conversation or diminishes the importance of another’s thoughts and feelings. 2. Pay complete attention. Eye contact and complete attention is given to the speaker. 3. Listen respectfully and non-judgmentally. We are mindful of never showing judgment with our body language or facial expressions as we practice listening openly. 4. No advice giving. We believe each woman has the ability to find her own answers and solutions when given the time and space to work through the question or issue at hand. It is very rare in our society to simply be heard without another person trying to fix our problem or, with good intention, lend a helping hand. This guideline allows each woman to tell her own story without others trying to take away her power and focus with their suggestions. 5. No put-downs of yourself or others. We never insult or use negative labels for others or ourselves. Often times we don’t even recognize we are putting ourselves down (“I was so stupid to do that…”) and this guideline helps cast light on that negative pattern and helps to make the group a safe place for every woman. 6. Speak from your own experience. Use “I” statements to speak your own truth, as opposed to making generalizations and giving voice to that which is thought to be “the truth.” We work to eliminate phrases such as “All men are…” or “Most young girls like…” This allows each of us to have different experiences and feel accepted. 7. All personal information shared within the group is strictly confidential.
