Workshops & Circles
Women’s Council
In the Way of Council, we circle as women to hold space and listen to one another’s stories. The circle is an opportunity to gather as women, to hear and be heard, to commune with one another, explore our hearts, and to support and be supported. In council we uphold 4 intentions:
Speaking from the heart
Listening from the heart
Being of “Lean Expression”
Spontaneity
With thoughtful prompts, Joni will facilitate this beautiful opportunity to gather once again authentically and connect through storytelling and develop a deeper understanding ourselves through others. Although we are tired of screens, I have found that the same connectedness is still elicited in our virtual circles. Being home under a blanket with a cup of tea and a candle lit, is a perfect way to connect with women.

Testimonial-
"As someone who doesn’t like to share much of myself, I felt safe and connected as we all moved through the councils...I feel like I was able to gain some perspective on things I hadn’t ever considered, grow in ways I hadn’t anticipated and find myself seeking out joyful experiences."
-Dawn
