Full Moon Women’s Circle
I’ve always longed to relate to someone else’s experience. You have a podcast about how you cope with anxiety? I’m listening. You wrote a book about living life without alcohol - I’m reading it. It’s as if the uncomfortable feelings inside of me settle when someone else tells me they’ve felt them too.
This craving for sharing and connecting with other people is why I started these women’s circles. In these circles I have come to realize it is okay when fear and sadness overwhelm me and it is wonderful when I am struck by the beauty and joy of this life I get to live. And in each circle, I am reminded time and time again that I am not alone. That none of us are alone. That the ups and downs are a part of life, and the only thing worse than going through them alone is thinking you are the only one going through them at all.
If you are hesitant to join, I understand. I was nervous to join my first women’s circle, but I quickly realized relating to other women was a simple yet beautiful tool I desperately needed in my life.
Details: The Women’s Circle is a one-hour zoom meeting that gathers on each Full Moon. Women join from all over, many of them do not know each other outside of the circle yet it feels like a community. I start the circle by leading a short meditation to allow us to arrive in the space and settle our mind and breath. Then, I share a journal prompt and we all journal for a few minutes. After that, I share what is on my mind (all the thoughts, no need to be concise or organized). Then, I open it up and anyone can share anything that is on their mind. You don't have to share if you don't want to. Please bring a pen and paper for journaling.
