As we move into darker days, and longer nights it’s a perfect time to get cosy, hunker down and hibernate. As the light softens and trees shed their leaves, we see how the seasons bring their own unique gifts. Autumn shows there is beauty and grace in letting go.
Imagine spending an autumnal day cocooned with a small group of women who become your circling sisters for an entire year.
Where together you’ll journey through the seasons, sharing stories, and perhaps sparking your deepest dreams in sacred connection.
The Fire and the Feminine women’s Circle is opportunity to connect on a deeper level with women who have shared interests such as a love of nature, holistic living, and self-development.
We’ll meet each season and throughout the year you will experience the following
- Forest bathing
- Mindfulness practices
- Intention setting
- Journaling
- Yoga
- Sauna and cold-water dipping
- Wild swimming

What is a women’s circle?
It is a gathering of women who quite literally sit together in circle.
The Fire and the Feminine Women’s Circle is inspired by the Red Tent movement and is a sacred space. In the opening of the circle, we each call in the women in our ancestral blood line, energetically drawing them into the circle and create a space where, if we listen carefully, we may hear the wisdom they have to offer that is hidden in the fabric of our DNA. In circling together for a day, we have time to take off the mask we may present to the world, feel a closer connection to our true authentic self. In this beautiful, nurturing, and safe space we welcome you just as you are.
Each circle has a different theme that is thread throughout the day in a variety of simple practices and pleasures such as yoga, forest bathing, journaling, pond dipping and sauna. And is completed with a nourishing and delicious homemade two course lunch. If you are a woman seeking a day to nurture mind, body, and soul in a small group of like-minded women? Then we’d love you to come and join us!
