Weaving moon thread - a taster circle for women

Join us for an introductory evening for women.

This gathering is for those who feel curious about joining an ongoing closed circle of women exploring transitions, change, and the unfolding journey of growing more fully into our lives as older women. In the past, younger women have joined with interest in what lies ahead, alongside post-menopausal women wishing to step more consciously into the role of elder. These intergenerational circles have been deeply rich and meaningful.

Women of all ages are welcome, wherever you find yourself on your life path, to explore this powerful stage of becoming together.

We welcome everyone as they are. With each womans wisdom, knowledge, confusion, struggles, questions and revelations into this sacred space, along with anything else they may bring.
There is a beauty and power that comes from sitting in circle, whether you are a total novice or someone for whom this is a regular practice. It creates feelings of belonging, of support and nourishment. It encourages reflection and insight. And often, when we are deeply heard, what we say can reveal something profound – both to others and to ourselves.

This is the beautiful roundhouse where we will be gathering for our time together
