A sister Circle is Born
It started many years ago, the tug and urge to gather women in meaningful ways. To start what I would later come to know is a sister circle. I didn’t know what it would look like, who would feel the soul yearning to participate as deeply as I did, or how to get out of my own way enough to do it. I sat on it for several years going from ideation to accepting a random, yet synchronistic, invitation to an existing circle, to feeling “ready” to create one of my own.
This year it finally felt right, maybe it was that it energetically felt like community would be very important or that I had taken all the steps from student to teacher. Nonetheless, I couldn’t have imagined who would show up, the deep fulfillment of sitting with and holding space for heart-centered women, the joy of allowing others access to more wisdom than just my own, or the magic that happens when women come together in true sisterhood.
A few weeks ago we came together for a picnic to be nourished, make flower crowns, and talk about some soul burning questions. It reminded me of all the healing that I've had simply because I had a circle of women who held space for me with open hearts and minds. Women who mirrored what was possible and had the capacity to truly see me. I can't imagine a greater time than this moment where this is what is truly needed.
Making flower crowns and having soulful conversation.
This is the “new” we’ve been waiting for and I am grateful to be a steward of it all. To all my sisters, near and far, old, new and those yet to come, thank you for heeding the call and allowing me to serve in the only way I know how.
