"Throughout history, women have gathered in sacred circle. Be it around a fire in prehistoric times, within hushed monasteries of the Middle Ages, in consciousness-raising groups in 1970’s living rooms or online groups in the digital age, women have long congregated to laugh, share, heal, care for children, grieve, and spiritually connect in community.

When we meet in circle we join to hold everyone in sacred space and purpose. We are bringing forth an ancient way of connecting into modern times. We gather to share stories, to deepen our identities individually and in group—often with the intention to enable and shape a postpatriarchal way of being. We also gather to heal life. We can meet in circle to share our joys our sadnesses, our weaknesses or whatever we feel we need support with, and we can meet in circle to help to change our world."

Welcoming in the third Women's Listening Circle in phase with the September FULL Moon in Pisces, this is a perfect time for releasing something that no longer serves you; or letting go of something that you no longer need in your life; or an opportunity to let go of an aspect of yourself that you have outgrown.

The moon, being the closest astronomical body to Earth, can have a profound effect on us. It represents the feminine, emotional, creative and nurturing aspects of our lives. Many cultures and people believe that in following the cycles of the moon, working with this wonderful gift of nature, helps to harness the different energetic influences at each of the stages. The night will focus on the coming together in community, no judgement and with Love, supporting ways in which we can cleanse and ground ourselves through various healing rituals, using elements Fire (burns away the old) + Water (cleansing).

Every Women's Listening Circle is an opportunity to be heard. Within the structure of the circle, there is no hierarchy; each woman’s voice is equally important, her story honoured 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.

Join us in stepping into our Divine Feminine, building trust, connection, lifting each other higher, from woman to woman as Divine Priestesses in a space to simple BE, nothing but wonderful selves.
