Women’s Circles
Women have been gathering in Circle for thousands of years. Non-hierarchical and connective, women's circles served as a vital community space to gather around the fire, share stories, and support one another through life cycles. Many of these gatherings were closely tied to the phases of the moon, rhythms of the seasons, and our menstrual cycles.
In our Women’s New Moon Circle, you’re invited into a sacred space to honor the cyclical nature of yourself as it’s mirrored in the seasons, cycles, and stars. Each month, we’ll explore a different theme to cultivate a deeper relationship with ourselves, the natural world, and one another.
Join Lauren Bocka–registered yoga teacher, astrologer, certified circle facilitator–as she guides you through ritual space to prepare for the cycle ahead.
What's included in a circle?
-
Each month, we’ll explore a different theme informed by the astrology of the present time. These themes are meant to act as threads of connectivity between yourself and the world around you.
-
Tap into the collective energy through intentional visualization and guided meditation practices.
-
Put pen to paper as you’re guided through journal prompts intended for self-reflection.
-
Intentionality is everything. Ritual demarcates and transmutes the energy we’ve cultivated by placing intention into a particular action.
-
This is where the magic happens! Sharing in circle allows others to act as a mirror for you to see yourself more clearly. Feel connected to yourself and connected to the women around you.
A journal and something to write with
Divination tools, tarot cards, or any other ritual objects you feel connected to
Dress in comfortable clothes
Yoga mats, bolsters, and blankets are provided for your comfort!
