Women have gathered in circle for as long as we can remember
What is a Women’s Circle?
A women's circle is a sacred space where women come together with the intention of making each other feel seen, heard, held and witnessed on their journeys through life. A space free of judgement, competition, expectation and pressure.
In a world that asks us to be always doing, always achieving, always available, the circle is a place to simply be. To arrive exactly as you are. To speak from the heart and be received without judgement. To remember that you are not alone.
"It is a space to step outside of everyday life, with its stress, busyness and masking, and take time to come back to yourself, to listen to what is inside of you, whilst being in accepting connection with others." (Naomi)
About these circles
My women's circles are held in St George, Bristol. Guided by the rhythms of the moon, our inner seasons, and the inner cycles of womanhood. We gather twice a month, around the New Moon and the Full Moon, each circle carrying its own theme and energy.
The moon has been my own guide and companion for more than a decade. She is a beautiful mirror for our inner world, reflecting back the same cycles that live within us. Just as she moves through phases of darkness, emergence, fullness, and release, so do we. When we learn to read her, we begin to read ourselves.
This is the heart of the work. My circles are rooted in menstrual cycle awareness and a deep reverence for the female body and the womb as our centre of power, creativity, and intuition. The New Moon mirrors our inner winter, a time to pause, rest, and plant seeds of intention for the cycle ahead. The Full Moon invites us to harvest, release what no longer serves, and celebrate how far we have come.
This work is grounded in my training with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli in Yoga Therapy for Women's Wellbeing and with Red School through the Menstruality Leadership Programme.
When we live in rhythm with our inner seasons and the cycles of nature around us, we stop fighting ourselves. We remember that there is an ebb and flow to life, that rest is as sacred as action, and that our bodies hold a wisdom we were never taught to trust.
Each gathering is carefully woven to create a flow that nourishes you from the inside out.
What to expect
Every circle is unique, shaped by the energy of the moon, the season, and the women who gather. A circle may include:
✓ A welcoming ritual to arrive fully into the space.
✓ A cycle and inner season check-in, so we know where we each are in our own rhythm.
✓ Teachings on how the moon cycle mirrors our menstrual cycle and the gifts and tasks available to us in each inner season.
✓ Practices to connect with our womb and the wisdom she holds.
✓ Exploration of the current moon phase and its invitation for us.
✓ Guided meditation and visualisation to connect with your inner world.
✓ Embodied movement to return to your body.
✓ Journaling and quiet reflection.
✓ A sharing circle held with care and integrity, where you are never required to speak.
✓ Ritual and intention setting.
✓ A closing ceremony to integrate and ground.
You will also be nourished with rose tea, homemade raw rose chocolate, and the guidance of oracle cards.
Practical details
The gathering will take place in my living room. This is my sacred space and I have put so much love into creating a beautiful and welcoming space. Exact location details are shared upon booking.
Each circle runs for approximately two hours.
What to bring:
✓ A journal and pen
✓ Comfy clothes and anything that helps you feel comfy, a blanket, a sheepskin
✓ A chair is available if you'd prefer not to sit on a bolster, just let me know in advance
✓ Something for the altar, optional but welcome (a candle, a flower, a stone, a crystal). You'll take it home with you.
Our agreements
These agreements are the foundation of our circle.
These agreements are inspired by my women's circle training with Sacred Sister.
Double confidentiality What is shared in the circle stays in the circle. You are welcome to share your own experience outside of this space, but never another woman's. And if you cross paths with someone from the circle, honour what was shared by leaving it in the space where it belongs.
Choice Everything offered is an invitation, never a requirement. You choose whether to share, whether to move or be still. You are always welcome to simply be present in the way that feels right for you.
Kindness We offer kindness to ourselves and to one another. To the parts of us that are tender, uncertain, or still finding words. To the shares that land differently than expected. Kindness is the ground we stand on here.
Non-judgement Each woman arrives with her own story, her own wounds, her own truth. We hold one another without judgement, making no comment on another's choices, beliefs, or path. What is true for them is true for them.
Consent If you feel moved to reflect something back to a woman after they have shared, ask first. This extends to physical touch and hugs too. We ask before we reach.
Triggers Your triggers belong to you. This is not a space for blame or shame. If something lands hard, we invite you to turn gently inward and meet it with curiosity rather than direction it outward.
