Question 1

What exactly is a Women's Circle?

Accepted Answer

A sacred gathering where women connect through the wisdom of goddess archetypes. We create a supportive space for sharing, self-discovery, and authentic expression through story, craft, and ritual.

Question 2

Do I need prior knowledge about goddesses or mythology?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! We'll share Yemanja's story and explain its significance. This circle welcomes beginners and experienced women alike. The focus is on personal insight, not academic knowledge.

Question 3

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Comfortable clothing that allows you to sit on cushions and move freely. Consider bringing a shawl or light sweater as the energy can shift during our time together.

Question 4

Is food included in the price?

Accepted Answer

Yes! A nourishing communal feast is included, featuring seasonal foods that honour Yemanja's origins. Sharing a meal is an integral part of our circle experience.

Question 5

Is this a religious event?

Accepted Answer

No. While we draw wisdom from goddess traditions, our approach is archetypal rather than religious. Women of all faiths (or none) are welcome. We explore goddesses as symbolic figures of feminine experience.

Question 6

What if I'm menstruating during the circle?

Accepted Answer

Menstruation is honoured as a sacred time! You're absolutely welcome to attend. In many traditions, this was considered a time of heightened intuition and connection to the divine feminine.

Question 7

What will the craft activity involve?

Accepted Answer

We'll use the wet-on-wet watercolour technique to paint flowing ocean landscapes, allowing blues and greens to merge naturally on paper. All materials provided, no artistic experience necessary. This meditative practice is about surrendering to flow, not creating perfect art.

Question 8

Will there be more Goddess Circles?

Accepted Answer

Yes! This is the second in a series of seasonal Goddess Circles. After Yemanja in September, we'll explore other goddess archetypes throughout the year. Past participants receive early registration access.

Question 9

How many women will be at the circle?

Accepted Answer

We limit our circles to 10-12 women to ensure an intimate experience where everyone can be seen and heard, and deeper connections can form.

Question 10

Do I need to participate in all activities?

Accepted Answer

While full participation is encouraged, we honor each woman's autonomy. You're welcome to engage at your own comfort level. The circle is a space of invitation, not obligation.
