While there will be some structure, I wish for the circle's to be flexible and fluid.
Circle Sisters are to arrive for the beginning. Once the circle is open, late comers will be unable to join.
I will open the circle by welcoming everyone, stating my intentions for the circle and reading the circle guidelines.
We will then introduce ourselves (one at a time).
I will then begin sharing the knowledge I hold on the topic, before we begin the sharing circle (the time when circle sisters are invited to share what they would like. Some circles will not have a focus topic and we will be lead by the needs of the women present (the format of this circle will include a short guided relaxation)

I am a certified hormone health practitioner, menstrual educator, antenatal/hypnobirthing practitioner, doula, postpartum doula and mindful breastfeeding practitioner. I also offer Mother Blessings, Closing Ceremonies, Menarche Celebrations.
It is important to note that while I have a level of trauma informed training, I am not a counsellor/psychologist/therapist. I respectfully ask each person to take responsibility for what they share and to know where their edges are. I will support you as best I can, if you feel triggered or strong emotions bubble to the surface,

Sitting in a circle, potentially opening-up and showing vulnerability to others can feel like a daunting prospect for many. If this is you, and it feels right to do the following, you could spend some time sitting with that feeling. Identifying where this feeling is coming from and why you feel the way you do. For many of us, we have been hurt by other females – this could have been in childhood when friends or family let you down. Or it could be more recent in your adult years. I have experienced both childhood and adult hurt from females. The girls/women who do the hurting are on their own journey and we cannot let them define us. I sincerely vision creating safer spaces, free from hurt/deception, for women who wish to actively heal & live the wounds of sisterhood. I request that all circle attendees read and adhere to the circle Guidelines. Women have too many challenges and hurdles to overcome, it is time we stand together in solidarity.

Yes, absolutely. I call myself spiritually curious. I believe all females are, but this curiosity has been oppressed. Whether you are spiritual or not, there will be space for you at one of my circles. What we discuss in circles may resonate with you or unlock a part of you that you didn’t know existed. It could be the beginning of something new.
-
Each circle there will be a topic to be discussed. I will share information I hold about the topic and then there will be space for each circle sister to share what they would like to share.
-
We sit on the floor - usually with a yoga mat, cushions and a blanket to be comfortable and warm.
-
Yes please. I often provide light snacks at circles and it’s helpful to know who has an allergy.
The Celtic Wheel
The circles I hold follow the Celtic Wheel of the Year. My ancestral white thread runs deep in Ireland and Scotland, and I am consciously remembering and reclaiming the ancient ways of my ancestors from those lands. The Celtic Wheel of the Year marks the seasons through 8 festivals. The wheel recognises that we live in a cyclical pattern of birth, growth, blossom, decay, death and rebirth, and that humans are intrinsically tied to nature.
Circle Guidelines
Respect
Please respect each other’s views, stories, experiences, and voice. Please do not interrupt another circle sister while she is speaking.
Judgment-free
Try to remain judgement free. We are all here for the same experience, all different but all deserving of being treated kindly, with love, and without being judged. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Be open-minded and respectful of each other. You might think differently to someone else and that is ok: we are all different. If you notice judgement arising, make a note of it to reflect on later. Judgment is a reflection on what is occurring inside of us.
Confidentiality
What is said in circle, stays in circle. Please do not share anything that a circle sister shares, outside of our circle. This isn’t a space for gathering gossip.
Sovereignty
All sisters who attend my circles have full sovereignty over their participation. You can say and share as much or as little as you feel comfortable. You are very welcome to “pass” when it is your time to speak.
