What I love about women’s circles is that they are places where we can share our stories without any need to be fixed, rescued from our feelings, or pathologised. No one jumps in with a diagnosis, a quick-fire solution, or a silver-lining quote.

Instead, there is radical permission simply to be.

In circle, we realise that we are whole, imperfect humans, exactly as we are. The candle is lit, we breathe together, and the simple act of sitting shoulder to shoulder reminds us that our mess and our magic can coexist.

We are not too loud, not too quiet, not too much. We are not broken, even if we’re having a really hard time. Our tears don’t make us weak, our anger doesn’t make us unlovable, and our joy doesn’t make us naive. All of it is welcome.

We are witnessed by each other and reflected back love, understanding, compassion, and resonance. That gentle mirror says: I see you, I’ve felt that too, and I’m still here. The nervous system exhales because it finally feels safe.

We hear our own stories echo inside other women, and by holding space for her pain, shame, grief, loss, joy, and love, we end up holding space for the very same parts within ourselves. Circles remind us that healing isn’t always about doing more; sometimes it’s about being seen more.

My hope is that every woman has a circle she can call home — a space where her whole self can land softly.
