Circle Agreements

This is your space.
Here you are supported, nourished, safe. In a space that can hold all of your experiences, all of your stories.

We remember the agreements that keep this space safe for us all:

We come to circle exactly as we are – and we meet each other in this place, with no judgment or expectation.

We do not chat or interrupt – we let each woman speak until she is finished, allowing space for silences and gathering our thoughts.

We do not offer advice or comment – we acknowledge that we are not broken and we do not need ‘fixing’, we simply need to be witnessed in the fullness of our experience.

So, we listen as fully and deeply as possible - not to search for a way to reply, but simply to connect, to honour the experiences of the women in our circle, and to deepen and broaden our own understanding of the richness of the female story.

We welcome silence, as much as we welcome stories – and we hold silences for as long as we need to, allowing ourselves the space to go deeper if we need to.

We honour that what is shared here is private – we will keep the words shared within the circle and within our hearts.

I invite you to connect with the women in your circle – to feel into their innate wisdom and all that we as a collective group have to offer to each other.

Connect to the feeling of sitting shoulder to shoulder with other women in your circle – and back into the generations that also gathered in this way.

And connect to your own innate wisdom too – the things you know deep down in body and soul when you are allowed the space to listen more fully.
