This is a place for women (this respectfully includes people who identify, and live their lives, as women) to find connection and community with ourselves, others and the wild, natural world around us.
Connection with the natural cycles of the year has many positive effects. It reduces stress, enhances concentration, boosts creativity, gives depth of meaning and can boost our individual spiritual lives. The quality of our relationship with nature is important because when we feel emotionally attached to our natural surroundings our overall well-being increases along with our compassion for others and the earth. It is hard to care for something you do not feel connected to!
Seasonal Sacred Women’s Circles
This local group meets in person on the on the Solstices, Equinoxes and Cross-quarter festivals.
These exceptional dates could be seen as hinges in the yearly cycle, turning points of seasonal changes that affect length of daylight, influence the growth of plants and crops, and animal behaviour. They are also bookmarks in the passage of days that invite us humans who have so often disconnected from the natural cycles of the year, to stop our incessant busyness and slow down together. Sister Circles are offering an invitation for connection, community on this planet.
The intention of the Circle Sister’s Seasonal Sacred Circles is to create a safe, brave space to step out of the everyday and dip into the sacred through gentle ritual and ceremony. We find a new way, yet one that is older than time, of being together and connecting with the sacred.
The ritualization of these circles is to honour the continual movement and transformation in life and within ourselves. It is about becoming in-tune with the year’s cycle and the cycles within our bodies, minds and spirits. It is also about coming together as women and creating a community where we celebrate these changes together and know that we are not alone. Around the world there are many circles such as this to honour the cycles of change – join us, together we are stronger!

Way of the Witch year-long circle
*This year-long course is currently paused. Details below for information purposes.
A year-long closed monthly group for women wanting to connect more deeply with themselves, their cycles and the natural world around them. Together we create a safe, sacred space to explore themes relevant and important to our evolving selves.
The way of the witch is about reclaiming our wise woman heritage; the knowledge of herbs, healing & childbirth and the innate power in our blood & bones. It transcends persecution and slander, it is beyond name-calling and putting each other down in order to get ahead. It is cooperative. In tune with ourselves, each other & nature. It is a closed container for 12 months for women to share space and honour the sacredness in all life.
Topics covered revolve around the 4 seasons, incorporating the 4 directions, elements, states of being. We also honour the sacred days, or witches sabbaths – namely the solstices, equinoxes & cross-quarter festivals.
Together we hold sacred space, conduct ritual & ceremony, weaving story alongside sharing about plants & animals, the tides of the moon and the subtle energies of creation. Deepening self-awareness and powers of perception we cultivate divination techniques and how these can be a tool for understanding the evolution of the soul. Together we journey through the cycles of womanhood, maiden, mother, matriarch and crone, and all the stages in between, embracing the cycles of life through rites of passage experiences.
