September Women's Circle: Telling our Stories

No! Come as you are. This is a space to relax whether you contribute verbally or not. If you've never been to a Circle, come with curiosity. It's your presence that matters! There is no pressure.

My name is Jenny Waddington and I live locally. I've been a psychotherapist in York for almost 20 years. See my full profile when you click on Under the Baobab Circles link under the Organized By heading.

The Circle isn't a discussion, but contributions usually create a life and energy of their own. After a reflective prompt, you'll then be free to contribute any thoughts, feelings, stories, or reflections that arise for you. Come and be properly heard in a supportive, advice-free zone.

Feel free to contact me via the Contact the Organizer link if there's anything else you'd like to check.

We will mutually agree at the start of the Circle that any contributions will be kept within the meeting in order to maintain respect and trust.

No. The Circle will be held monthly and you can attend any or all. Each one to be advertised separately and booked separately.

The iconic Baobab Tree is found in Africa (and I'm from Zimbabwe) and is known as The Tree of Life, with mythical and healing properties. It survives tough conditions, and many communities have traditionally gathered in circles in its shade for telling stories, teaching and community connection.
