What is a Women's Circle?
A women's circle is a gathering where women come together to share, support, and connect in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space. It's a modern practice rooted in ancient traditions, designed to foster an ecosystem for diverse and inclusive community, creativity, networking and soulful personal growth.
The Wise Women's circle is a facilitated by Marion Miller, a coach, artist, ecotherapist and mindfulness teacher in her Glen Iris studio. It includes a short talk and teaching, meditation practice, ritual and creative process. You're invited to engage in conversation and heartfelt sharing. All creative materials, worksheets, herbal tea and supper is provided by Marion.
In the circle, women take turns speaking about their experiences, thoughts, and feelings. The focus is on being heard and supported, rather than on giving advice. This creates an empowering environment where women can feel seen, validated, and deeply connected to their intuitive nature, and one another.
