Women’s Wisdom Circles
We live in ways which have tamed or banished connection to the wild within and around us.
Women’s Wisdom circles are invitations to reconnect with the natural cycles of our lives, connect to nature’s cycles, earth cycles, moon cycles, and honour the rites of passage at each stage of womanhood. We connect with our inner knowing, and by bringing our full selves, invite each other to deeper understanding of self and others. There are rituals to promote self-love and empowerment, including drum journeys, guided visualisations and meditations, along with a lot of laughter and cups of nourishing tea or soup.

In this central place of creativity, connection, nourishment, we listen deeply to understand, while making and cooking and doing. It’s where stories are shared in living together, where girls and women learn their lineage, where hurts are tended, soothed and support is given. In my home or yours, we cover creativity or covering crafts, creativity, singing, writing, or any aspect of women’s wisdom and the cycles of womanhood, with you and your invited friends / family.

Based on the Celtic wheel of the year, sitting in circle at these times invite connection to the earth’s cycles we live in and to work with the seasonal opportunities they bring, from full sun and the longest day at Litha (midsummer), to the longest night at Yule (midwinter).
