What is a Women Circle and why you should try it?
Since immemorial times and in all traditions, women have always come together to share their life experiences, their daily lives, their worries, and their sorrows, but also to celebrate their femininity (rites of passage, childbirth, death, etc.), to share and transmit feminine knowledge and to heal together.
The arrival of patriarchy has had the consequence of creating rivalry and competition between women and today, more than ever, women need to reconnect with their feminine part to be able to find this benevolent harmony brought by the sisterhood of ancient times.
During women's circles, themes specific to women are discussed: menstrual cycle, maternity, couple, sexuality, diseases of the feminine, spirituality, but not only. As daughters of the Great Goddess, we also reconnect to our divine essence and celebrate the Sacred Feminine in all its forms. We remember our connection to the earth and the moon but also to the sky and the sun, we relearn how to listen to our needs and our body, to respect it, and honor its power, its sensuality, and its beauty, like its vulnerability. We rediscover the power of forgiveness and non-judgment. It is sometimes, even often, necessary to reconnect ourselves to our power of life, which sits in our pelvis, and from which we have cut ourselves off to protect ourselves.
All this work is done through speech, creativity, dance, meditation, and any other activity that encourages expression and letting go to reconnect with our female body and our divine feminine essence.
The different rituals practiced allow us to engage with ourselves and regular participation in the circles promotes our journey through the different female archetypes: the priestess, the initiator, the mother, the goddess, the healer... They all take their place in our lives.
The shape of the circle inherently contains the principle of equality. There is no division, no hierarchy. Each woman has her place in the circle; each is important, in its unique and universal truth and essence at the same time.
The circles I offer are inspired by different ancient traditions: Native American (Womb Keeper, Rite of the 13 Moons, Healing of Ancestral Lineages) and Eastern (Tantra, Shakti Healing) mainly as well as other more modern practices.
Women of all ages and backgrounds can participate in the circles as they are not conditioned by any belief or religion. The most important thing is to be kind and non-judgmental towards the other participants.
