Circles
Women's Wisdom Circles
Wisdom Circles are a space for women be supported, nurtured and uplifted.
A place to come just as you are. Cross over an invisible threshold leaving behind your daily roles and responsibilities and just BE.
No pretenses or performances.
Rest in a space held just for you - to breathe, to listen, to share stories, to connect, and to align with the wisdom that naturally arises when women come together.
What is a Circle?
A Circle is a group of women who come together in person or online for 1 to 2 hours to connect, listen, share stories and be in community.
The Circle is facilitated by Aby Ryan, a certified Women's Circle facilitator trained in a simple format that holds space for inner reflection, meditation, shared stories, silence, and heart connection.
Gently guided, you are invited to cross over an invisible threshold into a space of listening, reflection, authentic sharing. There is no advice giving, cross talk, no striving for an outcome. There are no goals or place to arrive, just an invitation to open your heart, be present, and allow the Circle to work it's magic.
An Invitation
Come, sit with us.
Quiet your mind.
Sink into your body.
Feel your emotions.
Rest your spirt.
Let us hold space for your stories
and the wisdom that naturally arises
when women gather.
