What is a Circle for Women?
A space to come together in a group to listen, breathe and share. A place to decompress and take a little time, to talk about what’s going on in a way that is real without judgement or even feedback. A gathering that feels nourishing, heartwarming and joyful.
The Circle experience is different from that of having a coffee with friends. In such social gatherings we might find ourselves interrupted whilst sharing, given advice or being trumped by the listener’s own experience. It’s very often not possible to be received as our full selves in these situations.
Circle is different; ritualistic, gentle, holding. We listen intently and share freely without fear or worry, knowing we will be met exactly where we are. The Circle itself holds what is shared so we don’t have to. We can simply bear non-judgemental witness to one another. This can seem unfamiliar until you experience it.
There is something very healing in being truly heard as we speak our truth; life enhancing and transforming.
““Thank you, Sarah, for offering your powerful Circle space. It was a healing, grounding and deeply reflective experience, and wonderfully calming.”
Who comes to a Growthfully Circle?
Any woman, of any age or culture who feels a need to connect with women, speak her truth and be witnessed.
Why come to Circle?
To find a sense of belonging and connection with other women
To experience your own ancient wisdom and that of other women
To listen as well as speak. Some just listen without speaking which is welcome.
The space is completely confidential - what’s said in Circle stays in Circle.
It may feel difficult to step (even metaphorically online) into a group and let yourself be seen and heard, yet taking the risk and allowing yourself to be held in a brave and healing space is moving, powerful and transformative.
Starting again in Spring 2026 online and in person.
Dates will be published in January 2026. If you’d like me to send you information please sign up below:
The History of Circling
Circles traditionally belonged to the First Nation peoples and we offer our thanks to the women who have safe-guarded and continued this tradition, appreciating and valuing the wisdom they have passed on.
Circles have existed for generations as a place to connect with one another, experience deep intuition, grieve, support, share and listen; across the world Circles have been spaces of holding and healing;
If going to Circle were as common as going to yoga or the gym the world would be a much better place.
“Thank you for creating this beautiful and nurturing sharing circle - a safe space to be seen, heard and held. To listen. A welcome pause in my day to reflect and connect in the company of other women.”
“
Sarah created a wonderfully warm and positive Circle space. I really enjoyed being able to connect with other women and listen to their experiences as well as sharing my own.”
