A women circle is a safe and sacred space of sisterhood, held by women for women. 

We gather for a day with the February new moon, to replenish and nurture ourselves. A women circle is a space of mutual empowerment, reciprocity, sharing and rest. 

We will immerse ourselves in nourishing practices that support us in our journey, exploring our specific needs as female spiritual practitioners.

The day will include periods of silent and guided meditation, sharing circles, gentle movement practice and chants. 

Women of all ages after menarche are welcome to come along. Babies in arms are welcome too.

If you can, please bring a yoga mat, a blanket and a cushion with you. You are welcome to bring an object or a piece of nature to co-create our altar.

For our lunch break, please bring some vegetarian food to share with the other women.

To participate,  please write to Michelle (michelle.aisling.darcy@gmail.com) to book a place and get directions. 

Where: Dhamma House, Terenure

When: 9:30am - 4pm
