Women Who Wonder, intergenerational Women's Circle

The topic of this circle is "What is love?" The question came up in the last circle. In this circle, we will explore love and how we can support ourselves and our neighbourhood in being and becoming the loving space we need and deserve.

Why we need an intergenerational women's circle
Since the industrialisation of the 19th century, we have been segregated into age groups since kindergarten. This disconnect between generations costs us well-being, resilience, and even years of our lives. Women Who Wonder brings back the receptive, responsive relationships between generations.

We sit together in a circle for 90 minutes, not to advise but to share, listen to and witness each other. Each participant speaks without interruption and can ask for the kind of response she would like, or silent appreciation. Being witnessed this way creates a tangible, lifting energy.

About the topic: What is love?
We have been created by love and raised in an environment we perceived as love, an environment that meets our needs. Could we just be ourselves, or did we need to be a certain way for that? How are we being loving today, and what do we need from our neighbourhood to feel safe and loved?

How it works
Every participant shares what she likes to. We pass an hourglass as our talking piece. To create a safe and confidential space, every attendee signs our circle agreements on arrival. In short: we don't interrupt, we are non-judgemental, we don't fix, and we don't sell services. What is shared in the circle stays in the circle.

About me

I am interested in many things, have written and recorded songs and created an online networking event for polymaths that lights people up. I feel that it is time for women to support each other, to learn with and from each other across generations.

How to find it
You can enter Seeburg Park Zürich either from Zollikerstrasse, Bus 33, Botanischer Garten, or from Feldeggstrasse, Tram 11 and 15, walk up Feldeggstrasse, turn right at Mühlebachstrasse, and find the park entrance and spot us in the park.

Take whatever makes sense for you to sit, a towel, a cushion, or a folding chair (I will sit on a chair).

It will be a bit cold, so you might need a cozy jumper and a warm blanket to sit on and wrap around your legs.

When it's truly heard, your story becomes wisdom
