The Circle is the Medicine

"How might your life have been different if there had been a place for you, a place for you to go to be with your mother, with your sisters and the aunts, with your grandmothers, and the great- and great-great grandmothers, a place of women to go, to be, to return to, as woman? How might your life be different?"
- Judith Durek, Circle of Stones: Woman's Journey to Herself

The Circle is the Medicine is a journey of healing for women through movement and meditation, ritual and rest, with space for sharing, silence and spontaneity.

Since always, we humans have gathered in circles to share, celebrate, grieve, process, begin or end something, and simply bear witness. Our ancestors sourced the raw materials for their ceremonies from the land; they danced and sang stories that connected them to their gods and goddesses, their ancestors and the ones yet to be born again. While their ways may resonate, offering a legacy and shining a light, we must not mistake their ways for the way. The medicine, what heals, isn't just the particular herb, plant, chant, or posture. That the medicine is the gathering itself--the space for us to connect to ourselves, each other, and Spirit within the safe and sacred container of Circle.
Deep bows for the inspiration for this phrase: "the circle is the medicine," arose as an intuitive knowing out of deep experience from a participant in sacred circle led by dear friends and teachers Paola Deprez and Adrian Wirth. Years later when I joined their magic circle, I too learned this saying and experienced firsthand this truth. 

 The Circle is the Medicine is a space to return weekly to remember, reconnect and replenish your reserves. It is an inclusive and caring community of women. It is a whole-hearted YES to the call deep within to live true, with courage, integrity and grace. It is support that sustains through life's challenges. It is a chance for honest, inspiring, and relevant conversation. It is an invitation to stop just surviving and start thriving. It is a dedication to yourself and to each other to show up as you are, to pay attention and participate, and to integrate your experience into your life. 

The Circle is the Medicine is not an exercise class, but we will move and breathe and stretch and dance and of course, take savasana. It is not a trend; rather, we will source practices, texts, and perspectives from ancient traditions and modern inspirations. It is not open for drop-ins; the power of the Circle resides in our collective commitment to the process which honors nature's rhythms by following a cycle of birth / life / death / stillness. It is not a program or a certification or a training for anything other than living an awakened, empowered and embodied life.
