I sat in my first real women’s circle at 25, intimidated, awkward but also electric with the feeling that I was doing something that women I admired did.

My voice shook when it was my turn to say my name, and I hoped I wouldn’t have to speak again.

I remember assessing everyone’s outfits and wondering if I wore the right thing.

I felt like I wasn’t cool enough to be there, but I wanted to be.

I wondered if they knew I didn’t belong.

Women’s circles are where I first started to heal my sisterhood wounds. A painful mistrust of most women, born of repeated betrayals, cattiness, and mean girl bullying that I endured all through high school and college.

I’ve been leading women’s circles now since 2018 because I want to offer the same safe and healing space that allowed for so much of my growth and evolution.

Women’s circles were a safe space to practice being seen and using my voice.

It was time when I could reconnect with the deeper parts of me that got lost in the business and overstimulation of everyday life.

I left every circle feeling more like a woman who knew herself, and what she wanted.

I discovered myself through the other women, too, the way they would put words to something I couldn’t yet articulate but had also felt, the wisdom they shared from their own journeys.

I left every circle feeling less alone, and braver.

Circles were time where I could reflect on what was actually true for me, when I didn’t yet have habits or practices to do that in other parts of my life.

They were my introduction to the power of intention and ritual, and I was mesmerized by how things I desired seemed to unfold at a rapid pace after circles. Magic and synchronicity and intuition all started to come alive.

Whether in-person or online, for the full moon or the new moon, with 1 other woman or with 50, circling with women is a foundational part of my life.

If you’re curious… you’re invited, you belong, you’re exactly on time, and it might just change your life.

Keep an eye out for my next 6-month women’s group.

Happy full moon,
