A women’s circle is an invitation to witness and be present to ourselves and to other women from an empathic stance. The intention is to connect and empower each other in our vulnerability through authentic relating via guided reflections and exercises, mindfulness and somatic-based practices.
Over four sessions, we will journey to the centre of ourselves and back out into the world, hopefully with a broadened understanding and acceptance of who we are as unique beings. Each week will be based on a different theme centred on the heart, body and mind (see website for weekly theme descriptions).
These workshops are an invitation to gather in community with other women and explore, our voices, our bodies and our being in relationship to self, to others and to the world around us.
The power of group sharing, of witnessing and being witnessed, can be a catalyst for change, healing, and growth - helping you feel less alone in your struggles.
Disclaimer
Sharing in the circle is optional. Choices are provided and honoured; group safety, respect, confidentiality and support is paramount.
A circle of support is not about advice-giving, rescuing or ‘fixing’ each other – it’s about showing up as we already are and staying connected to our own individual experiences. Please note this is NOT a treatment-specific, or trauma-processing group.
This is an inclusive workshop for all ages and abilities, open to anyone who identifies as woman, non-binary and gender-diverse.
