"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 post patriarchal 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 fourth Women's Listening Circle in phase with the September FIRST QUARTER MOON. A great time for growth. In this phase, the Moon is waxing and squares the Sun. This represents the time in the planting cycle when the organism puts out its leaves and branches, a time of great growth. In the cycle of the seasons, this phase corresponds to the Vernal Equinox. During this phase, you are a wilful builder of new structures for yourself and society, and characteristically exert the utmost effort in order to achieve your goals of bringing new forms into reality, even in the face of resistance. This move forward must inevitably be accompanied with struggle, for the old will rarely yield gracefully.

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 support growth, manifestations and intentions we would like to put forward.

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 simply BE, nothing but our wonderful selves.
