The Wise Woman: Falling Upward into Meaning

WOMEN’S CIRCLE · Voice of Sophia

The Wise Woman: Falling Upward into Meaning
The beginning of the year is a time of reflection, inner transition and gentle re-orientation.
In this circle, we meet the archetype of the Wise Woman as an inner capacity to hold perspective, meaning, and inner support during times of change, loss, and uncertainty.
Together, we explore maturity as integration — a life phase in which what seems to fall apart can become a doorway into depth, wisdom, and a more honest way of living.
The circle is inspired by the work of Richard Rohr, Pema Chödrön, and Thomas Moore, and draws on embodied practices, reflection, and symbolic language to support feeling of wholness and inner grounding.

What this circle is about:

• moving from external achievement toward inner meaning
• meeting crisis and uncertainty without fixing or bypassing
• integrating both light and shadow aspects of lived experience
• cultivating care for the soul in everyday life
• allowing wisdom to emerge through what has been lived
We reflect on personal experience through myths and folk stories — such as Vasilisa the Wise and Hecate — using them as symbolic maps for transition, maturity, and deep feminine knowing.

Circle program (4 hours)

14:00–14:20 — Arrival & Opening
Warm arrival, grounding, and brief introductions.
We open with a reflection on maturity as
an unfolding process of wisdom and inner support.
14:20–14:35 — Grounding Meditation

A guided meditation: meeting uncertainty and inner disorientation
while sensing a deeper inner ground beneath it.
14:35–14:55 — Intention Sharing

An gentle inquiry into the question:
“What am I ready to integrate in my life right now?”
14:55–15:35 — Guided Reflection & Holding Context
A guided exploration of themes that support the process:

• the Wise Woman as a companion through life transitions
• the concept of the two halves of life
• staying present when things fall apart
• caring for the soul through meaning and depth
15:35–17:35 — Practice Session (with breaks)

A sequence of embodied and reflective practices, including:
• gentle movement — from instability toward feeling more grounded
• journaling practice:
“What in my life is asking for care and attention right now?”
• small-group reflection on lived experiences of crisis and change
• an EFT-based practice focused on acceptance, integration, and feeling more grounded
Tea breaks and quiet pauses are woven into the flow.
17:35–18:00 — Closing & Integration

A closing round to name one insight or piece of wisdom to carry forward.
A short integration meditation and a gentle closing of the circle.
