The Women's Circle: How to Gather with Meaning, Intention and Purpose

My suggestion would be to start simply. Reach out to a small group of friends who you would like to belong with, and invite them to commit to gathering a few times a year to create ritual together.

Make an altar or sacred place in your house or garden with objects and images that relate to it. Read books about it. Be open to new ideas and feelings about it. Get friends to play devil’s advocate.

There is a timeless wisdom in entering the sacred circle: this is, on some fundamental level, what it means to be human. Today, you walk from left to right. Tomorrow, it will be me. I hold you now, knowing that eventually, you’ll hold me. Every gesture of recognition marries love and humility, vulnerability and sacred responsibility.
