Iām not a huge fan of āwoo-wooā rituals.
Love me an oracle card and meditation is lifeā¦
ā¦but altars, crystals, talking sticks and all the Goddess talk, while beautiful, can feel like a bit much sometimes. š
Itās great to have a little magic in our life, for sure.
But creating this veil of mystery & witchcraft around a womenās gathering can make it feel pretty detached from real life (and scare away those who need it most!).
Half of the women at yesterday's Circle have never been to one before.
We laughed (and some of us criedš), shared (as much as felt good!) and discussed communication (topic inspired by my recent faux-pas with a client - you know who you are;)) while sipping on the beautiful āfeminine wÄhineā cacao blend.
There were meditative moments and some chit chat. Sacrum and profanum ;)
We donāt need to be āspiritualā to come to and enjoy (or even host) a womenās circle.
We donāt need rites and rituals to foster mindfulness and meaningful connection with ourselves and others.
We donāt need to be witches to continue their beautiful tradition of women gathering together to āshare energy and pray together and healā (Marianne Williamson) š
Big thanks to everyone who helped make it happen š & all the beautiful WÄhine that joined! See you at the next one šāØ
P.S. Itās absolutely not my intention to criticise your most sacred practices š what I feel strongly about is making them more accessible šāØ
