To restore and rejuvenate your whole being through self-exploration and expression
To dive into our inherent interconnectedness, to learn from and feel the support of other women
To shift the feeling of aloneness and isolation to a feeling of deeper connection, support and receptivity
To experience being seen, heard, and received in your honest self-expression
To meet and join with other women in a community based on loving connection, resonant stories and deep support

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲?
Each circle will be slightly different but based around the following structure:
Opening and honouring of the traditional owners, and the women who are present, discussion of circle guidelines
Meditative/creative practice or game to connect to self and others in circle
Reflection and rest ritual - this will be based on yoga asana, journalling, meditation or yoga nidra.
Supportive sharing/discussion circle - A chance to be seen and heard in a supportive space. There is no pressure to share, witnessing is welcome too. Share celebrations and challenges to know that you are not alone. All of you is welcome, just as you are.
Closing circle, sharing tea and treats together.

There is one exchange/barter spot per session for any women who wants it - email lauren@mountainbirdwellness.com. Perhaps you could help me with set up/pack down/altar creations or contribute yummy snacks? Open to suggestions :)

Sliding scale: To make this circle as accessible as possible while also honouring my own financial and time expenses, I'm offering a sliding scale pricing as well as the exchange spot. Please consider your own finances, needs and resources when choosing what to pay. No questions asked ~ I'd rather you be there to experience the connection and community than not be able to come at all!
