New Moon : Women's Circle : YIN YOGA, MEDITATION , BLUE LOTUS TEA

There is great wisdom to be found in the safe space that is created within a Women's Circle. It's a sense of acceptance , ease and relaxation - where our nervous system can let go , just a little bit more. Finding connection , understanding , feeling seen and heard in our authenticity.

Women of all ages and backgrounds are welcome.

This is the space where ALL is invited. There is no need for masks, performance or shoulds. But of the unique beautiful truth of the moment - as shared by anyone participating. Together we create the field of acceptance and listening.

Recognizing that what is shared by another can have a profound impact on us , as we hear golden nuggets of wisdom in the words of another woman - inspiring us to see our life in a different perspective or a sense of ' it's not just me'. Attuning to the cycles and seasons that each one of us goes through. Empowering ourselves and eachother to keep walking the path.

I invite you to the beautiful mountainside of Shankill to Rest and Reconnect with your inner compass and wisdom.

> “A circle of women may just be the most powerful force known to humanity. If you have one, embrace it. If you need one, seek it. If you find one, for the love of all that is good and holy, dive in. Hold on. Love it up. Get Bare. Let them see you. Let them hold you. Let your reluctant tears fall. Let yourself rise fierce and love gentle. You will be changed. The very fabric of your being will be altered by this, if you allow it. Please, please allow it.”

Guidelines for our women’s circle community:

• This is a non-judgemental space where we cultivate kindness, compassion, gentleness and support for ourselves and each other
• This is not a place to give or receive advice
• You are invited to listen deeply to everyone who is sharing. There is so much power in listening, which can support us in our own healing journey and helps us to connect on a deeper level with other women and to our collective feminine wisdom
• We do not interrupt when someone is sharing in a circle
• Everything that is shared in the circle stays in the circle
• To respect everyone’s time, please arrive in the space at least 10 mins before start time.
• During our circles, you are invited to show up authentically, with your truth – this space is an opportunity for you to be vulnerable, explore themes that you might not get to explore outside of the circle, explore movement in a way that is new to you. However, you are not expected to share anything that does not feel comfortable or be someone that you are not. You are welcome to show up in the way that feels true to you.
• Although you might not be able to join each month, the invitation is to commit to try to show up every month – that way we will be able to go even deeper.
