Women's Circles @ Berwick Neighbourhood Centre

Circle offers grounded connection and homecoming to self, community and the earth, while embracing the wisdom filled cycles of body, season and star.

 
 

Sitting in Circle is an opportunity to find yourself 'held, heard and healed' amongst like hearts and minds, within the safe container of co-created sacred space. It is a moment to switch off from the outside world to enter the inner world, to explore different spiritual practices and processes, or simply to help you carve out much needed time for you.

This circle could be for you if -

  • You are craving connection with like-hearted community and kin-folk, or to alleviate senses of isolation and disconnection

  • You are hearing the call to carve out some space to focus on your own healing and wellbeing

  • You wish to connect with the medicine and magic of the present moment, and are interested in the language of the seasonal, earthly and cosmic cycles

  • You are noticing changes or shifts in your being which are asking for deeper enquiry and attention

  • You have been busy tending to the needs of others, and are feeling the need to tend to and nurture yourself

  • You want to lean more into the parts of you with names like Healer, Wise Woman, Sister, Witch, Mother, Maga/Menopausal Woman, Midwife, Herbalist, Wild Woman.

A typical circle involves -

  • A grounding process and/or invocation to open our circle

  • Introduction to themes and structure of our time together in circle, including sacred contracts for creating safety and ease of being

  • A glimpse at the moment in time we are in through the lens of the seasons, the moon phase or the astrological landscape

  • Sharing in the talking circle, in which all participants are guided and welcomed to both heart-fully listen to and respond to the days gentle enquiries such as “how are you? what is arising? how are you experiencing this full moon moment?“ etc.

  • A varying process or practical exercise such as a guided meditation, a drum journey, tarot reading, tea ceremony, intuitive development exercise etc

  • Closing invocation and ending our time together
