The first circle will be on Friday the 13th of June.

Dear Woman,

Feel very welcome to come together with other women here.

Take your place in this circle to come together in connection to relax, rest and share whatever is alive in you at that moment. No matter what that is. Something beautiful, something sweet, something sad, something painful, something moving, something you are very angry about or touched by. Everything matters, no matter how big or how seemingly small. You matter! Hearing each other, supporting each other, learning from each other and inspiring each other. Together we are going to pay attention (again) to those parts that we have not given any or too little attention to for a long time. We are going to slow down and soften. 

There is so much going on inside each of us and we carry it almost all by ourselves. Of course it is wonderful, nice and strong to be able to carry yourself. It can also be very heavy and even lonely. At the same time, it is also just so healing and powerful to share this, to feel completely heard and seen and therefore also feel supported in a safe setting. No one can take anything away from you. That is always your own responsibility, but it is so enormously powerful and healing when you experience that you can share it and that you are allowed to be there. Without judgement or well-meaning advice. This creates space and sets everything in motion. In yourself and in others. It gives peace and energy at the same time. Together, we can also learn from each other. During the sharing you listen to each other sincerely and with full attention, so you find recognition in the stories of other women.

Safety

An important part of this Soul Circle is "safety". Creating a Safe Space and we carry it together. To make sure we can create this Safe Space, we follow some guidelines that I will also mention in advance for each circle, so there can never be any misunderstanding about this. I will also share them with you here in advance, so that you can decide for yourself if you are comfortable with these and feel if you want to participate on these terms. This is NOT a discussion point!   It is important to be clear about this. These are the following rules/guidelines:

• When one person is sharing, the others keep quiet. The purpose of these circles are to allow you to speak completely freely about what you want to share. 

• A person is not interrupted while sharing.

• No advice is given. No matter how well-intentioned! However, it may happen that, as a Space Holder, I ask at the end of a person's sharing if anything is needed. Sometimes a sharing has a lot of impact and it is important to respond.

• Sharing is about you and your own experiences. So that what lives in you and what it does to you. This means that it should not become a gossip or a tirade about someone else.  The idea is precisely not to put it outside ourselves. Sometimes we unintentionally do get into such a bit. I will then ask you to stay with yourself and, if necessary, bring you back to yourself.  

• During the circle, we are all present. This is very important! Before the circle starts, there is a break to go to the toilet or get a drink. When there are many of us, I will also take a break in between. The invitation is to remain in silence. The reasons to be present are important because of the following;

• When the person who is sharing has precisely a pain piece on separation anxiety, not feeling heard, not having a right to exist etc, that is precisely a trigger for that person when someone walks away. When we are at our most vulnerable and in softness, we are often unable to think logically about this. There are all kinds of inner (child) parts at play.

• For me as the "Space Holder", it is also very important to be able to see you all. When you or someone else gets into a very sad, angry or painful piece, it is important to stay with these feelings.

Last but not least!

What is discussed in the circle STAYS IN THE CIRCLE!

How is the meeting arranged?

From 7pm CEST, the door is open and is everybody welcome. This gives space to chat for a while and arrive at your pace. We will start at 19.30 CEST. I would appreciate it if everyone is in and ready by then, so that we can make use of the full time. You have half an hour to be on time, so I will close the doors! Prior to the sharing, I will give a short explanation, we will open the circle and through meditation or other techniques, we will first slow down and connect with ourselves and each other. Sometimes I will also use exercises. By doing so, we make the energy softer and calmer. Often we come running from our often "busy" lives and this is precisely why it is so important to take some time to arrive and slow down. This is followed by a short break for the toilet, getting some drinks, stretching legs etc. after which we will start sharing. 

When everyone who wants to *share something* has done so, we will collectively close the circle through a short guidance from me. 

* You can share something, but you don't have to! Our system tells us when it feels safe enough to share. It is also very healing to be present alone and listen to other women, in whom you can often find a lot of recognition.

A little bit of history 

The circle was created a long time ago for and by women. Times have now changed and are still changing. The beauty of recent years is that these women's gatherings have found their way back again. 

A women's circle is originally a way of coming together where women enter the circle to meet each other in sincerity and openness.  A Talking stick is used to indicate who is speaking. The one with the stick is given full space to speak from their own feelings and the rest listens with full attention. This makes it possible to be fully heard and seen. This works inviting and empowering to connect with each other from a deeper layer. It works very healing when you really feel heard and there is genuine attention for you. 

So women's circles have been around for centuries. For instance, women in various shamanic communities around the world retreat once a moon(d) to the village's menstrual tent, called the "red tent". Women gather in circles to share their wisdom, support each other and deepen their feminine power. They do this through rituals, dance, stories, singing and meditation. Here, they rest, care for each other and collectively create a "Sacred Space" where all women feel safe.

In today's society, this way of coming together has been gone for a long time. Fortunately, this way of coming together is starting to recover and more and more circles are reappearing. We need it to reconnect with ourselves and other women in this gentle yet powerful way.
