What is Circle?
Gather together with other women who are using the ancient, sacred power of the circle to connect with a deeper, embodied source of wisdom and authenticity.
The heart needs space and time to reveal her deep knowing. The rhythm of the circle is spacious, expansive. Responding to the energy of the group, we move, we rest, we journal, we share, we create, we take time to integrate the new.
The container that circle creates is healing. And it’s different from group therapy. We are shifting away from using the head-mind to communicate, and moving toward the heart-mind and the body-mind. In circle we have the opportunity to share vulnerably with each other, and the healing can be profound.
The different activities of circle are meant to help you drop below thinking, and into deep connection with yourself. And everything we offer is invitation. If your heart is telling you to rest, instead of move, that’s allowed! You are invited to follow your inner knowing, at all times.
I am beyond grateful for the inspiring mentorship of Carrie Haynes, and the pioneering work of Carrie’s mentor, Jalaja Bonheim.

Women’s Circle
Connecting with your heart takes time and spaciousness.
The circle is an invitation to slow down and connect with other spiritually-minded women. We intentionally create sacred space and use time-honored activities such as guided meditation, music, movement, and writing to help you shift from your head to your heart.
Our circles are not therapy groups, but instead are intended to guide you toward your deepest self, to community, and to something greater.
