Sage Entwined Sacred Journey: Women's Circle ~ May Gathering ~ Story Telling with Meaning

I welcome you to into a nurturing circle of women gathered to share from the heart in sacred space.

This beautiful circle we are going to talk about story telling with meaning. I'm not talking about telling fanciful tales, unless that's your thing! I'm talking about the narrative we create and share about our lives. When we speak to others about our experiences, we weave meaning into what happened. That's what humans do, we are meaning makers. And that meaning is different and varied for each experience, and sometimes different in our retelling of the same stories. What I want to explore around this topic is what feeling comes up for us when we are telling our stories and how that shapes our identities for ourselves and for others. When we carry shame about an experience, that meaning in story telling will sound very different to someone that carries pride, or excitement, or hopefulness. This isn't about ignoring the very valid feelings that don't feel comfortable, instead, it's about allowing ourselves the grace to acknowledge our skills, knowledge and strengths in the telling of our stories. A beautiful topic to carry on from last month's topic of self compassion. Who are you and who do you want to be and how will that be expressed in your stories?

So much love, sisters!

On arrival I offer grounding and clearing with smoke cleansing and when I feel called to, drumming as well. After circle has been opened we will sink into our sacred space through a guided meditation, fully calling ourselves to be present in this space. During this circle there will be an intimate sharing element where the talking stick will be passed around allowing each woman to be held as she shares her truth. In this space we listen with open ears and open hearts, without trying to move or fade the pain of another woman with advice, allowing for release and healing in being truly seen. Our gatherings also include each bringing a plate of food to add to our shared feast at supper. What is shared in our sacred space, stays in our sacred space. Please bring a plate of food, a water bottle, a cushion and a shawl/blanket to make yourself comfortable. There are cushions and small blankets at the venue if you forget though. With an open heart, all women are accepted and maidens from 10 are also invited into this sacred space. Babes in arms are welcome in circle. No refunds are issued.

Women have gathered in sacred space longer than they have not. For many of us though, this has not been a part of our journeys. Sacred Sisterhood is reawakening in the hearts of women all over the world. For thousands of years we have gathered in circle to tell our stories, share our wisdom and pass on the history of our ancestors. I warmly invite you to this sacred space for authentic connection with like-minded sisters, bringing yourself back into your true self, remembering our soul's true purpose and the blessing of true heart kinship.

My name is Angie and I have created Sage Entwined as a way of following my heart and purpose, while giving of myself in service to the women of my community. My vision for Sage Entwined Sacred Journey: Women's Circle is for all the sisters that attend to rise together in harmony and purpose. To create true community through collaboration and sharing. And to be empowered in sharing wisdom and receiving it. The ripples of the magic we create in this sacred and intentional space is felt far in wide in our worlds. We are the change in the world, sisters.If you have any questions please email me at sageentwined@gmail.com. I am looking forward to seeing you at circle. Blessings, Sisters.
