Join the next circle…
Each circle will have its own unique theme and creativity craft ritual. Creative rituals help us bring our heart’s intention out into the earth plane, allowing us to find a safe resting spaces for deep healing and soul intentions. The circle itself is a community ritual and the creation of the craft becomes a personal ceremony. The craft then becomes alive in the form of a talisman that serves as a physical reminder of dreams, wishes and healings that were called in.
The seasons and moon cycles remind us that by syncing into our natural rhythms we can feel more alive and in tune with the cycles and seasons that hold us. Nature has a beautiful way of showing us how to live with grace. The cycles within nature (and the moon) guide us through the natural cycle of seed, emergence, growth, action, expansion, fulfillment, letting it go and releasing. We can find more balance and joy in life when we consider that there are times for rest and times to bloom. We hope that each circle provides a space to lean into your natural rhythm and honor where we are on nature’s every spinning wheel.
There is an unmeasurable power that is created when women gather. Circles offer is a soulful way gather with other women in ritual to call in what our soul is yearning for and make intentions for what we wish to grow more of in our lives. It is our intention that each circle helps to raise our vibration and uplift our hearts as we take in the medicine of sisterhood. Together we collectively create a container for each woman to bring our inner world out into the present moment to be healing, uplifted and celebrated.
Who can come?
Anyone who identifies as a woman is welcome. Women from age 18 and up can attend. We find that having a variety of ages is a lovely experience for all as it gives us an opportunity to share our wisdom from years' past, discover who we are now and explore who we may become. Babies in arms are always welcome. These circles are not associated with a singular path or religion, but rather, an inclusive coming together with women from all paths. We all come from different spiritual/cultural backgrounds. The circle offers a place of support, kindness and always, your free choice as to when you will participate and when you will observe. We sit together and welcome one another just as we are.
Creative Ritual
Art Ritual Projects are a vital component of each circle. In each circle gathering, we explore a theme or energy that relates to the nature, seasonal rhythms, pagan holidays or zodiac wheel through discussion, guided meditation and in creating a ritual craft.
Creative rituals help us bring our heart’s intention out into the earth plane and find safe resting spaces for deep healing and wild dreams. The circle itself, is a community ritual and the creation of the craft become a personal ceremony. The craft then becomes alive in the form of a talisman that serves as a physical reminder of dreams, wishes and healings that were called in.
In past circles, we have created nature mobiles, earth mandalas, elemental stones, intuitive painting, leather crafts, seed blessings, herbal salves, clay crafts, dream boxes, vision boards, garden goddesses and so many other crafts. No previous art experience is necessary. We honor that being creative can often take bravery and courage, especially when the ideas are powered by the heart and the depths of our wild soul.
"The purpose of creative ritual is to increase balance and connection within ourselves, with each other, with the world, and with the larger rhythms and energies that bring stability and light to our lives."
- Renee Beck who wrote the Art of Ritual

Come Prepared for the Season
We try to circle outdoors whenever possible. In the colder months, please dress in warm layers. You might want to consider warm socks, hat, gloves, blankets or anything to feel cozy and comfortable in while circling in the the ever changing Colorado weather. In the warmer months you might wish to consider bringing sun protection and bug spray.
Journal & Pen
You may wish to bring a journal and pen/pencil. You won't be asked to take notes but, I find I get inspired in circles and love to take notes of my thoughts, inspiration and creativity when it arises in circle.
Inspiration

The Wild Woman Project
This circle is a part of Wild Women Project.
The Wild Woman Project is at once a philosophy (an invigorating approach to life as a wondrous, often messy, creative project) & a growing movement of courageous, creative, heart centered (often weird & wonderful) women on a mission to remember, to reimagine what it means to be a woman – untamed.
The Wild Woman Project’s mission is to awaken women to their most authentic, undomesticated nature, so they may feel like themselves, all the time, no apologies.
