Sage Entwined Sacred Journey: Women's Circle ~ November Gathering ~ Closing Ceremony

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

A ceremony of completion, gratitude and becoming.

This month marks seven years since we first gathered in circle. Seven years of women sitting together in softness and courage, remembering ourselves, learning one another, nourishing what needed to grow.

In many traditions, seven is the number of spiritual evolution ... the point where a cycle completes and where we can see who we've become through it. It is the moment in the spiral where we pause, look back with reverence, and step forward with clarity.

So as this seventh year arrives, we gather not to end what we built, but to consciously close this chapter ... with ceremony, gratitude and truth.

It has reshaped how we speak to ourselves, how we take up space, how we meet one another, how we love.

Here, we have practiced belonging.
We have remembered our softness and our fierceness.
We have grown roots together.

And from those roots, a tree has risen ... bearing fruit that has nourished far beyond this circle. The laughter, the tears, the healing, the courage we cultivated here have moved outward into homes, relationships, communities, art, choices, children, conversations, boundaries, and beginnings. The ripples are already in the world ... living, breathing, continuing.

This closing ceremony is a ritual of honouring ... of the women who came before, the women who sat beside us, and the women we are now.

We will gather to remember:
What we have walked through
What we have laid down
What has blossomed because we did not turn away from ourselves

We will bless:
What we are taking forward
What we are ready to release
What is calling us next

This is a shedding ... like the soft skin that slips away when we have grown beyond it.

A completion that makes space for what is becoming.

An ending that knows the magic does not disappear. It simply changes form.

If you have ever been part of circle ... once, occasionally, or always ... you are welcome here.

Come as you are.
With your whole heart.
With your story, your memory, your becoming.

We will close this chapter together ... with reverence, beauty, and the knowing that everything we created here lives on.

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.
