Circles & Group Formats

Circles

Small, facilitated peer groups designed for safety and connection.


Circles are where we slow down, listen, and reconnect — with ourselves and with one another. They are structured enough to feel contained, and open enough to allow what’s real to emerge.


No fixing.
No advice.


Just shared presence, reflection, and care.

Group Formats

We offer a few different ways to gather, depending on where you are and what you’re looking for. Some groups are ongoing. Some are time-limited.


Some are focused on a specific theme, while others are simply about being in community.


All formats are:

small by design | peer-led | experience-based | grounded in safety and consent


 

Who These Are For

These spaces are for women who are curious about reconnecting — with their bodies, their inner clarity, and others.


You don’t need to be “healed.”
You don’t need to share.
You don’t need prior experience.


Just a willingness to arrive honestly, and move at your own pace.

How Circles Work

A Safe Contained Space

Speaking From Experience & Listening with Care

Speaking From Experience & Listening with Care

Circles are structured to support safety, presence, and respect. Clear agreements create a predictable container where each woman can arrive as she is, without pressure to perform, fix, or advise. This safety allows honesty to emerge naturally.

Speaking From Experience & Listening with Care

Speaking From Experience & Listening with Care

Speaking From Experience & Listening with Care

Participants speak from their own lived experience rather than giving feedback or advice. Listening is practiced as presence, not problem-solving. 


This builds trust, accountability, and the ability to stay connected—even when something painful arises.

Retuning to Self in Relationship

Speaking From Experience & Listening with Care

Retuning to Self in Relationship

When reactions or emotions come up, they’re met with awareness and care. The focus is on noticing what’s present and returning to Self, rather than acting from a reactive part. 


Over time, this strengthens our capacity to stay grounded, connected, and in relationship—with ourselves and with others.

Safety & Facilitation Model

Clear Structure & Agreements

Safety begins with clear structure. Each circle operates within shared agreements that support confidentiality, respectful listening, and personal responsibility. Boundaries are explicit, so participants know what to expect and what is expected of them. 


This predictability helps the nervous system settle and creates a foundation of trust.

Presence, Not Therapy

Circles are facilitated to maintain safety and flow, not to diagnose, treat, or analyze. The facilitator’s role is to hold the container, model Self-leadership, and gently redirect when needed. 


Guidance is offered in service of presence and connection, not fixing or advising.

Personal Responsibility & Relational Repair

Participants are encouraged to notice their own activation and speak from Self rather than from a reactive part. When something tender arises, it’s met with care, accountability, and respect for the group. 


This supports relational repair while preserving individual agency and dignity.

Sample Meeting Format

What to Expect: 60-Minute Circle Format

Each circle follows a consistent structure to support safety, presence, and ease. You don’t need to prepare anything in advance, and sharing is always optional.


1. Arrival & Settling (5 minutes)
We begin by arriving together. This is a gentle transition from the outside world into the circle. There’s no pressure to speak—this time helps everyone settle and orient.


2. Opening & Agreements (5 minutes)
The facilitator reviews shared agreements, including confidentiality, speaking from personal experience, and no fixing or advising. These agreements create a safe and predictable container for the group.


3. Orientation or Prompt (5 minutes)
The facilitator offers a brief orientation to the circle format or a simple prompt for reflection. This is not a teaching—just a light frame to support the conversation.


4. Sharing (35 minutes)
Sharing may follow one of a few simple formats:


  • One person shares, followed by individual reflections from others
  • A topic is offered, and participants share as they feel called
  • An open circle where participants speak or pass
     

You’re invited to share from your own experience, keep contributions brief, and listen with presence. Silence is welcome, and passing is always an option.


5. Closing & Integration (10 minutes)
We close with a short round of reflections or acknowledgments to help integrate the experience and gently transition out of the circle. The facilitator clearly closes the container so participants leave feeling grounded.

A Few Important Things to Know

  • This is not group therapy or a place for advice-giving
  • You are never required to share
  • You’re encouraged to care for your own capacity
  • Coming as you are is enough
     

The intention of the circle is simple: to create a safe space to practice presence, honesty, and connection—together.
