Sacred circles? Groups of women? That seems very witchy…or worse!
Dear Sisters,
Gathering together as women is an ancient practice, once rooted in healing, wisdom-sharing, and empowerment. For centuries, we came together in sacred circles to grow, nurture, and support one another. However, patriarchal teachings distorted this powerful tradition, turning the narrative of women gathering into something shameful, diminishing it into gossip and "spilling tea.” or worse! This shift alienated us from the deep, sacred connections we once knew. But there is a call within the collectice feminine, a craving for the true essence of sacred sisterhood—gatherings where we rise together in love and truth, without gossip or judgment.
circle is how women learned from women throughout history…
Even today, remnants of archaic laws rooted in fear of women gathering still leave a mark. In states like Massachusetts, for example, there were laws on the books that limit the size of women's gatherings until recently. These “brothel laws” were originally designed to curtail women's ability to organize and were part of a broader effort to suppress feminine power and collective strength. These laws suppressed years of sisterhood by causing even collegiate sororities to be outlawed. It’s a direct result of these outdated regulations, which continue to reflect a deep-seated fear of women gathering in community and sharing ideas. This historical repression is a stark reminder of how patriarchal structures have tried to control the power inherent in women coming together. Yet, despite these efforts, the feminine spirit remains uncontainable, and the craving for sacred sisterhood only grows stronger.
It’s time to reclaim the ancient power of divine feminine circles, where we connect in healing and soul-deep growth. Are you ready to gather in sacredness and leave behind the narrative of staying silent and small?
We are so excited to announce several upcoming events, each offering a unique opportunity to gather, heal, and rise together.
