The Power of the Circle
In the Circle we meditate together , then share our life's journey,
what we are learning, what we are healing, who we are becoming,
connecting with our inner Selves, while the circle of women holds
a sacred space with unconditional love for each one of us to be.
It is always a special opportunity and blessing to hear oneself
and each other speak authentically from the soul and heart.
Because
of woman's cyclical nature she is practically and spiritually attuned
to the spiritual teachings of the circle and council. The whole
universe is composed of natural cycles, supporting and intertwining
with each other in infinite wisdom. We are inviting each woman back
to take her place into the heart of the spiritual circle of women,
weaving a web of healing, love and support.
The circle is like a web with different threads, which are all
needed to make the healing and magic happen. These are
the threads we are weaving together with our hearts, intentions
and spirit:
A circle of safety and support
Women have not always felt safe to feel, speak and act from
their own values. Women's voices have not been heard and respected.
They have unique feeling values which are needed for themselves
and the planet. In this circle we want to fully support, acknowledge
and encourage ourselves and each other as women to discover, feel
and express who we really are.
A circle of unconditional love
Women have the capacity of unconditional love for their children
and partners. In this circle we will give and receive the same deep
sensitive unconditional love to ourselves and each other as women.
A circle of sacred space
Collectively we start the circle with a meditation, while holding
hands. We do this to connect with each other's inner spiritual Consciousness,
as souls, women and sisters.
We create a sacred space, bringing into our circle the spiritual
energy and mystery of the Divine.
A circle of respect
After the collective meditation we have a sharing circle where each
woman takes the bowl and speaks her truth.
The women in the circle hold sacred space for her; as Nell Merton
called it: Hearing her into real speech from her own
inner Self.
She decides when she is finished. It is her time.
There is no interrupting, commenting or giving advice ( Internally
or externally).
The purpose of the circle is that each woman gets in touch with
her feelings, hears her Self speak and is witnessed by the sacred
circle.
A circle of transformation
You are speaking for your Self, daring to step into a place where
you haven't been before. Each word you speak and each silence belongs
to you and is filled with your being and presence.
In this way as a woman you heal, take back and own the energy locked
up in these feelings as a strength.
A shift of consciousness happens, a feminine part of us is embraced
spiritually by the Divine within.
