A women’s circle is a therapeutical space where we all come as we are to witness other women* and be witnessed by them. When I say therapeutical, I do not mean that it can replace psychotherapy! What I do mean is that we all have an innate capacity to heal and a space like that can create a powerful container for our personal healing to happen through experiencing deep and authentic human connection. We will practice deep listening giving each other space for sharing a piece of themselves. It can be a very touching and transformational experience to have a safe space to be vulnerable in front of other people who can receive you without judging or giving advice. Being on the other (receiving) side can be equally powerful and beautiful and can remind us that we all share the same desires and struggles.
As the name suggests, a circle is a non-hierarchical structure, we are all equal here. l will facilitate our meeting by holding the circle, giving it a bit of structure and making sure that everyone is safe and well. It doesn’t make me the leader or a therapist or anyone of that kind. I hope to benefit from this meeting same as everyone else, just with some more responsibility. I will tell you the rules at the beginning of the meeting, so don’t worry if this is your first circle. However the 3 most important rules are:
1. confidentiality – what happens in the circle stays in the circle. We don’t talk about what we’ve heard afterwards.
2. deep listening – no interrupting, no judging, no giving unsolicited advice!! When we talk, we only talk about ourselves and our feelings.
3. taking care of yourself – if you feel triggered at any point, remember that you can reach out for help or withdraw from the circle.
The venue, as well as the circle as a structure has its limits, therefore it’s necessary to sign up to book your spot. If for any reason you can’t attend, please, let me know. Of course, the sooner, the better, but just let me know any time if you can’t join, I won’t ask you for an explanation 🙂 And also, please, sign up only when you really mean to come 🙂
Feel free to bring some light snacks or tea (optional).
* Anyone who identifies as a woman is welcome to join. Non-binary people, gender fluid people are also invited! If you have any doubts about your gender situation, you can contact me, but most probably you are welcome to join as long as you are not a cis man 🙂
