The Sacred Circle

May 29, 2025 | 0 comments

Remembering stirring in the hearts of women across the world. A call to gather, to sit in stillness and truth, to listen and be heard—not with judgment, but with reverence. This is the call of the Sacred Circle—a space outside of time, deeply rooted in the ancient, Earth-honoring ways of our grandmothers and ancestral lineages.

 

Reclaiming Ancient Wisdom Through Women Gathering

From a shamanic perspective, the Sacred Circle is more than a gathering—it is a living temple, shaped by the wisdom of the natural cycles, the turning of the seasons, and the timeless rhythm of the sacred feminine in all its faces. Here, we step beyond the contemporary hierarchy or separation. In circle, all are equal, all are honoured, and all are held.
The Power of Circle: A Sacred Remembering

The circle is one of the oldest and most universal symbols across indigenous traditions. It represents wholeness, unity, and the cyclical nature of all life—birth, death, rebirth. In shamanic cultures, the circle is a sacred container where the invisible becomes visible, and inner alignment happens as a natural expression of presence. When women come together in this way, something ancient awakens. The Sacred Circle becomes a mirror for the soul, a sanctuary where each woman is invited to lay down her burdens, speak her truth, and be witnessed in her wholeness.

Why We Gather: The Gifts of a Women’s Sacred Circle

🌕 Equality and Sacred Space

In the circle each woman is a reflection of the whole—a sacred thread in the collective weaving. We enter not to teach, fix, or advise—but to witness, listen, and hold space with open hearts. This spirit of shared wisdom and equal presence creates an atmosphere of profound safety.

🌿 Deep Listening and Witnessing

To be seen without masks. To be heard without interruption. To be held without judgment. These are rare gifts in today’s world. Within the circle, each voice is sacred. Each story, a piece of the greater whole. We practice deep listening as an act of devotion, not only to each other, but to the Spirit that moves through us.

🔥 Healing through Shared Presence

The Sacred Circle becomes an energetic womb—a place where grief, joy, anger, and longing are all welcome. As one woman shares, she speaks for the many. In her release, others soften. In her strength, others rise. Resonance invites renewal; fixing is not required.

🌙 Connection to the Natural Cycles of the universe

Rooted in ancient shamanic teachings, many circles align with the cycles of the Moon, the seasons, and the greater Cosmic Wheel. By gathering in rhythm with nature—whether at the New Moon, a Solstice, or an Equinox—we reconnect with the wisdom of the Earth and the sky. These Cosmic Cycles teach us that all life moves in rhythm—and we are threads in the great cosmic tapestry.

🌀 Remembrance of Ancient Ways

Through drum journeys, plant medicine, song, and story, we reawaken the old ways—the ways of the priestesses, medicine women, midwives, mystics and witches. We remember that we carry the wisdom codes of the Earth in our very bones.

 

” When women sit in circle, they remember their songs.”

Structure of the Sacred Circle: Weaving Spirit and Earth

While each circle is unique, many follow a sacred structure rooted in shamanic tradition:

  1. Opening the Circle

We begin by calling in the Four Directions, the elements, our guides, and the ancestors. The space is cleansed with sacred smoke or sound. An altar is created at the center, anchoring the energy and honoring the unseen.

  1. Creating Safe, Sacred Space

Intentions are shared. Agreements of confidentiality, presence, and non-judgment are spoken aloud. We co-create the container together, each woman a guardian of the sacred.

  1. Sharing and Witnessing

A talking piece is passed. Only the woman holding it speaks, allowing for slow, soul-full sharing. There is no cross-talk or advice—only presence.

  1. Ceremony, Journey, or Ritual

This may include shamanic drumming, guided meditation, dance, moon ritual, ancestral healing, or working with oracle cards. The ceremony is guided by the energy of the group and the spirit of the moment.

  1. Integration

Time is given to journal, reflect, or share insights. Sometimes there is music, chanting, or simple silence. The energy is gently grounded.

  1. Closing the Circle

We thank the directions, the guides, and each other. The altar is cleared, the space is released, and the circle is closed—but its energy continues to ripple through our lives.

In Circle, We Remember Who We Are

In the stillness of the Sacred Circle, our souls return to the knowing: we are part of the whole. We remember that healing does not come from doing, but from being held. That wisdom is not learned, but remembered through silence, song, and story.

This is the ancient way returning—not through grand declarations, but through quiet gatherings, one circle at a time.

“The drum is a doorway. The circle is the key. The journey is your remembering.”

If you feel the call in your bones,
If you long to sit in sacred space and walk between the worlds,
If you’re ready to trust the wisdom that already lives within you…

Then sacred circle is for you.

I invite you to step into the Sacred Shamanic Journey Circle—
a traditional gathering of women honoring the Earth, reclaiming inner wisdom, and awakening spiritual alignment.

I offer both online and in-person journey circles, where we gather in sacred space to explore the ancient practice of shamanic journeying.

This powerful tool is at the heart of my 6-month Awakening the Dark Goddess and the year-long Wisdom of the Season program.

Over the past few years, I’ve been called to hold deeper, wider spaces—spaces where real transformation unfolds. I’m excited to offer a new 8-week journey circle designed to support that depth.

To me, shamanic journeying is a direct, soul-guided path to reconnecting with your inner wisdom, deepening your intuition, and remembering your own truth.

You are warmly invited to join me—come as you are, and step into the rhythm of Spirit.
