The Sacred Power of Women's Circles
Episode Overview
In this deeply moving episode, psychotherapist and women's circle facilitator Sasha shares her 16-year journey of creating and holding space for women to reconnect with themselves and each other. Through intimate conversation, we explore how women's circles offer a profound form of self-care that goes far beyond conventional understanding - one that allows us to be fully present, fully seen, and fully accepted.
This Episode Explores:
- The transformative power of women gathering in sacred circle
- How to move beyond surface-level self-care into deep nourishment
- Creating counter-cultural spaces where all parts of our experience are welcomed
- The practice of "compassionate endings" in relationships and transitions
- Finding permission to simply be, without the pressure to caretake others
Quotable Moments
"We can't be in full bloom all the time. Like nature, we need the ebbs and flows - for the leaves to fall in winter so we can rest and rejuvenate." - Sasha
"Being vulnerable doesn't mean you're weak. Admitting that you need help isn't a weakness - it's actually a sign that you are being kind and compassionate to yourself." - Sasha
"In amongst the sacredness of circle, playfulness is extremely important. There's space for all of it - the depth and the lightness." - Sasha
Resources Mentioned
- Book: Circle of Stones by Judith Duerk
- RAIN Practice by Tara Brach (Recognize, Allow, Inquire, Nurture)
