Circle Sister Woman's Gathering
3rd Friday of each month
By Donation
As a woman, I know we need a safe space to show up as we are, authentic, vulnerability, and imperfect.
My goal is to create a safe space for all women; to rise, to discover, to laugh, to cry, to share, find our voices, claim our power and celebrate our self-worth. A space where every voice and everyone if equal every story valued, honoured and received fully.
Throughout history woman have gathered in sacred circle, there is a power, a magic that unfolds when woman gather in this way. Circle creates a space for authenticity that is often lacking in our day to day lives.
In circles like this we heal; grow; transform; we rise. When Women rise communities rise.
The magic and synchronicity that will unfold in each circle carries it's own unique flavour but you can expect something like this:
Opening circle and introduction
Inspirational reading or guest speaker
Gentle intentional movement; yoga, dancing…
Meditation, chanting or breath-work, sometimes with live music
Ritual or creative arts
Sharing
Closing circle
Next 6 Dates below. Check back for details about themes and guest speakers for the month.

Full Moon Kirtan
Leah Fae & Richard Bryant
Saturday April 28th - 7:30-9:00pm
$20
Kirtan is a musical meditation, a form of Bhakti yoga – often referred to as the yoga of devotion. The root of Bhakti is bhaj- to share or to love. With the repetition of the words, one is able to lose themselves in the rhythm and the melody, allowing a new vibration to wash through the psyche. It’s a beautiful thing to let go of self-consciousness of singing with people – some of whom you may have never met – and allow your voice to blend with the group. The ancient chants contain powerful renewing & transformative energy that helps us reconnect with the Divinity that resides within all of us.

Emotions are the last frontier of self-awareness, our least understood faculty.
Emotions are a direct link to our deepest self, physical sensations that contain messages in a language we were never taught to understand or worse to fear and repress. Emotions are our passion, our drive, our life blood, they make us feel alive!
Emotional Intelligence is the ability to experience the full range of human emotions; to HAVE emotions, to feel them but not to BECOME them.
Self - Awareness is the keystone to emotional intelligence; The conscious knowledge of one's true character, feelings, motives, and desires. Kundalini Yoga develops a relationship with the Self. It's the Yoga of awareness.
Emotional intelligence is built using the yogic teaching of non-attachment, which is very different from detachment.
Non-attachment is a practice of witnessing all experiences from a neutral place, not allowing your sense of well-being to be swayed by everything that appears to you; people, places, perceptions, thoughts, sensations, events and experiences.
Detachment on the other hand, means to distance oneself from the world out of disinterest or fear - a barrier to separate oneself from the rest of the world and the feelings associated with human interaction. Essentially, it's an escape from feeling.
Feelings are scary sometimes, they are intense because they want our attention. Emotion is the language of our intuition - our internal GPS that wants to guide us toward bliss and purpose.
Starting March 7th, I am teaching a 9 week series to cultivating emotional intelligence. Using Kundalini yoga, body awareness, breathing techniques, visualization and reflective journaling, we will strengthen our most important relationship, the one with our Self.
