🌿 June Sistership Circle 🌿[Get tickets here!! ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/balancing-the-masculine-feminine-within-june-in-person-sistership-circle-tickets-1989861204428?aff=oddtdtcreator) Balancing the Masculine & Feminine Within So many women today find themselves constantly “doing” — holding everything together, caring for others, managing responsibilities, pushing through exhaustion, and rarely slowing down long enough to truly receive. This month’s circle is an invitation to gently explore the balance between: ✨ strength & softness ✨ action & surrender ✨ structure & flow ✨ giving & receiving ✨ doing & simply being Together, we’ll gather in sacred community for an afternoon of grounding, reflection, connection, guided meditation, somatic practices, journaling, sharing, and heartfelt conversation. No two circles are ever the same because each woman brings her own unique energy and medicine into the room. Whether you are brand new to this type of gathering or have been on a healing journey for years, you are welcome here. 🌸 Saturday, June 13, 2026 🕓 4:00 – 5:30 PM 📍 A Call to Spirit, LLC – Chantilly, VA Come as you are. Leave nourished. Space is intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy of the circle.
