circles

when women gather, alchemy unfolds

Woven circles are a place to go deep, to unravel, to exhale. They are an invitation to move beyond practiced stories and share what is truly present in each moment. A chance to gather without judgement, advice or expectation.

When we give voice to our experiences and emotions in circle, they are transmuted. Things that once felt heavy and stuck can loosen and lighten. And in witnessing each other, we build the capacity to hear our own voices – something that serves us in our mothering and beyond.

If you long for a space that can hold the depth and nuance of womanhood, this offering is for you. Come as you are and share as much as you’d like in one of Woven’s upcoming circles.

ARRIVE AS FULLY AND TIMELY AS POSSIBLE
Seeing faces reminds us that we are held. That said, we trust you to acknowledge and care for your own needs.

CARE FOR YOURSELF – AND THE GROUP
Balance your individual needs with the needs of the collective. Each of us comes together to create the energy of the circle.

SHARE IN THE FIRST PERSON
Show up with authenticity and own your experience. Avoid speaking on behalf of others or the collective.

PRACTICE SELF-MONITORING
Be aware of how much space you are taking vs. giving. Reflect on what is meant for circle, and be concise when possible.

WHAT IS SHARED HERE STAYS HERE
Confidentiality is the container that invites vulnerability and depth.

OFFER REFLECTIONS, NOT ADVICE
Circle is somewhere to be seen and heard – not fixed. Recommendations are welcomed in our other spaces!

REFRAIN FROM SIDE-TALKING
Show respect for the person sharing and reverence for the circle by offering your full attention.

CIRCLES ARE NOT THERAPY
Circle is powerful in its own way, but it is not therapy or a substitute for other mental health support.
