Who are your services for?
Our offerings are designed for women seeking connection, personal growth, stress relief, healing, or simply a supportive community where they can be seen, heard and supported.
Where is your location?
We have our circles, events and private sessions in several locations and cities. You will find them on our website under the events section.
I've never attended a women's circle. What can I expect?
You'll be welcomed into a supportive, judgment-free environment with other like-hearted women, where you'll experience guided meditation, meaningful conversation, reflection, and healing activities. Each circle has a specific topic, however if you are struggling or need support with something off topic, you are always welcome to share or ask for support. There is never any pressure to share more than you're comfortable with. What is shared in the circle, stays in the circle.
Do I have to share during the circle?
No. Sharing is always optional. You're welcome to simply listen and receive.
What should I bring?
Bring anything that helps you feel comfortable, such as a journal, water bottle, blanket, yoga mat or cushion if you'd like. You may also bring a small item to place on the altar, this item will go home with you, infused with the energy from the circle. We'll let you know if anything special is needed for a particular event.
How are workshops different from women's circles?
Women's circles focus on connection, reflection, and shared experiences, while workshops provide a deeper dive into a specific topic with guided learning, activities, and practical tools for personal growth.
Do I need meditation experince?

What is an Aminal Spirit Journey?
An Animal Spirit Journey is a guided meditation with or without sound healing that invites you to connect with the symbolic wisdom of a specific animal. Many participants find these journeys inspiring and meaningful as they reflect on personal insights and growth.
Do I have to believe in spirit animals?
No. Some people experience these journeys as a spiritual practice, while others simply enjoy them as a creative visualization and self-reflection exercise.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle energy healing practice that promotes relaxation and supports overall well-being. Many people find it calming and restorative. Reiki can be done with light touch or above the body with out touching. Which ever you prefer.
