What is a Women’s Circle

Women have gathered together for centuries. Usually around the time of a full or new moon or in what’s known as red tents, for the purpose of rest and refection during their menstruation. Our circles have come about as we see so many amazing women in all our classes (those who are Mothers and those wo aren’t. Those who are 20 years old and those who are 70 years old) and the common thing we hear is that women are feeling burnt out, anxious and disconnected from each other and from themselves; both physically and emotionally.

What’s involved in our Circles

We wanted our circles to be a bit different. Accessible for someone who has never been to a Women’s Circle before, but was also for those who go to these types of event regularly. We don’t take ourselves seriously, so there will always be laughter and an opportunity to chat and meet the other women from your community. As much as it being a chance to rest and reflect for a couple of hours, we also wanted to provide you with knowledge and tools to take home to relax, recharge, reconnect and find a new way of being that doesn’t feel so stressful and hurried.

The circles have different themes, so each time there is a chance for something new. Such as; Sound Healing, Reiki, Somatic Movement, Cyclical Living and Self Compassion.

Circles are usually 2 hours on a Sunday and always have the following elements.

• Cacaco or warm drink

• Opening ceremony to meet each other and share how you are feeling (you can share as much or as little as you like. There is no pressure to share at all)

• Themed element

• Movement (stretches, somatic movement and gentle breathwork)

• Guided relaxation

• Closing ceremony to share how we are feeling at the end and any closing thoughts

REGULAR THEMES

• REST - Living in a culture where we are constantly on the go (especially those of us who have young babies or children), it can feel so hard to find time to rest. This has resulted in us being burnt out, feeling exhausted and anxious, as well as feeling guilty for taking time for ourselves. If you are feeling this way, you are not alone. This session will focus on how we feel about rest, the barriers to rest and practical ways we can weave rest into our daily lives. As well as guided practices you can do at home (even if you just have 5 minutes), to help you feel more rested and re-charged.

• INTENTION SETTING - Do you find it hard to create good habits? Do you feel like your goals feel far away and unachievable? During this session we will look at ways to use and create intentions and affirmations to bring about the change and life you desire. Also practical and easy ways to create intentions and how to use these to create daily habits that will help guide you towards where you want to be in your life (and feel happier in the process)

• LOVE & SELF - COMPASSION - We so often speak to ourselves in a way that can be unkind and unhelpful. Leaving us feeling low, anxious and de-motivated in our lives. This session we will connect with ourselves and create space and ways to be more loving and kind to ourselves. Also some easy habits to continue this at home.

• CYCLICAL LIVING - As Women we have this wonderful internal clock. Whether you are mensurating or not, If we are guided by our internal (and external seasons) it brings about change that can result in you feeling happier, more relaxed, well rested and more productive.
