Femmeship — A Sister Circle for Femme-Presenting Womxn

We gather to be witnessed, to share what we carry, and to build something together — not by committee, but by the quiet magic of the right womxn being in the room at the right time. Each gathering stands whole on its own. No membership, no catching up, no falling behind. Whoever is here is exactly who's meant to be here.

An afternoon together:

• Arrive & nourish — a potluck table and a clothing swap. Bring a dish to share and anything you're ready to pass on and take what calls to you.
• Ground & share — we settle, open a circle, and speak and listen without fixing or advising. Simply witnessed.
• The living map — an ongoing map of what we each need and what we each have to give: skills, knowledge, time, a hand. This is how we help one another build — one real connection at a time.
• Sound bath & close — we soften, integrate, and each carry out one small seed to tend in our own lives.

Our intention: to hold a space of trust, generosity, and honest presence — a sisterhood that grows not through obligation, but through showing up, offering what we have, and asking for what we need.

Come as you are. Bring your gifts and your needs; both belong here.

Bring a dish to share + optional clothing to swap

1:00–2:00 · Arrival, Nourish & SwapA greeter welcomes each person — especially newcomers — points them to food and the rack, and gives the one-line "here's how today flows." Low pressure, music, no program. This hour is the glue. Share food and clothes, connect on the most basic level.

2:00–2:30 · Gather & GroundFacilitator rings a chime, leads ~a few minutes of breath & meditation to arrive. Then 90 seconds of "how we gather": confidentiality, the talking piece, we witness, we don't fix, and a pass is always welcome. Re-establish this every time, because the room is new every time. Then a light round: name + one word for how you're arriving — not life stories.

2:30–3:30 · Sister Circle SharingTalking piece plus a soft chime. State the per-person cap up front (6–10 womxn ≈ 5–6 minutes each) and hold it gently. One shared prompt to focus the hour so it doesn't drift into advice-giving. Facilitator models first or shares light. Passing always allowed.

3:30–4:00 · The Living MapCreate/Bring out the persistent artifact — a roll-up poster or a shared digital doc — and read back what prior circles added (3 min) so today's room inherits it. 

Two columns: what I need and what I can offer (skills, knowledge, time, connections, a hand). Everyone adds to both. Then the facilitator invites live matches out loud: "who here can meet this?" This block is the building. The magic you're after — right people, right time — happens here, out loud, in the room.

4:00–4:15 · Break

4:15–5:00 · Sound Bath & SeedDownshift with the sound bath. To close, each womxn silently chooses one seed to tend in her own life before she next feels called to return — offered as invitation, never assignment. No reporting back, no tracking, no debt if life gets in the way. If she returns with growth, the map celebrates it; if not, she's still exactly who's meant to be there. Final round: one word to carry out. Chime to close.
