She has listened to all of the divine tugs of her heart to create a vehicle and a space where women can come together in circle as support for collective healing and sitting as peers in a safe space. Lynette holds space that allows women to breathe, be curious, speak or be silent, without suffocation or judgement, spaces that rise to a much higher standard of support, love and encouragement than what we experience in the news, on social media, workspaces and on TV. Lynette believes that being in circle offers up so much clarity in this time of great shifting in our world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1557435983472-QOBT6WKZEEOB4RNGNJRX/Sister%2BStories_Jenny_LR.jpg Our Alumni Jenny Isaac - Richmond, London Jenny is an Executive Coach helping others grow into their potential and a lover of nature and life living in Richmond, London.

She is hugely passionate about the power of community and the magic that happens when people come together with a shared purpose. Ellie felt a pull to lead Sister Stories in a effort to foster and nurture more connection amongst women, in an increasingly faced paced and isolating world. Ellie strongly believes in all voices being heard (no matter how loud or quiet) and that deep listening without agenda or offering of advice, allows us to soften our hearts and grow compassion for others - as well as learn to be a little kinder to ourselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1605213766401-KU5HD5RKL7022GK6QSAK/Ann-Mari.jpg Our Alumni Ann-Mari Freebairn- Islington Ann-Mari is a professional coach, facilitator and founder of Young Women for Change UK which makes affordable coaching available to young women.

Maybe arriving into the world at that time and in the midst of such cultural shifts gave her the gift of having an eclectic nature, and maybe that’s just who she is. Whatever the cause, she loves and appreciates life and love in all its forms, both beautiful and messy and everything in between. Her bigger vision is to make life juicier for all women through connection in a supportive way, and Sister Stories is very much part and parcel of that vision. She’s come to understand that sitting in circle allows women to be seen, heard and understood without judgment. Its sacred power ripples out way beyond the circle itself. Sister Stories is the difference that makes the difference. All women are very much welcome to come and experience the magic of that healing space, and Lauren looks forward to meeting you there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1590159676158-DNRPU37OOKT2H99D9BGC/Samanta%2BChaitoo.jpg Our Alumni Samanta Chaitoo – Suffolk Samanta is a Textile Artist and Illustrator. After starting her journey in Trinidad, her travelling heart finally set roots in the wilderness of Suffolk. Wanting to inspire connection and creativity in her community, she created Fox Yard Studio, a space where people can be themselves and find their own sense of belonging. The idea of storytelling has always made her feel safe and held, taking her back to a simpler time when tales danced around the flames of a fire, igniting intrigue. With Sister Stories, she hopes to provide a space where we can listen with an open heart and embrace our stories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1591289405202-5TL1YA3NOT9MQSJM2H0Y/Nina%2BChesworth%2B.jpg Our Alumni Nina Chesworth- Manchester Nina is a blind mother, creative and holistic therapist. She began on a path of self discovery and inner work, after losing her sight completely. It seems fate guided her path which has lead to amazing connection, support and magic.

She wants to help women as she has been helped, sharing the heeling and magic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1616531415063-VFIMXFW8KU3SQHKZO4TP/Chamiah%2BGouldbourne.jpg Our Alumni Chamiah Gouldbourne- Chamiah is a recipe developer and plantbased chef for women's health and wellness retreats. Her journey of self expression has often been a private one; but through her work and the nourishing space of circle, she has witnessed the transformative magic that takes hold of women, when they are given safe spaces. And discovered for herself, the power of a story told. Her approach is calm, curious and gentle; rooted always in the belief, that every woman is a patchwork of stories just waiting to be voiced. And that with every share we edge a little closer to realising how deeply connected we truly are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1616531659285-PUZ6W86VWT8RBQKRJ84U/ally+kingston.jpg Our Alumni Ally Kingston- London A lover of language, poetry and myth, Ally firmly believes that the stories we tell can be vehicles for personal and collective transformation. For the past decade, Ally has worked in brand strategy, but a growing interest in climate issues led her to explore more soulful, heart-centred forms of storytelling with Sister Stories. A graduate of the “Zoom age”, Ally's looking forward to one day hosting circles in her local North London. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1631261780425-5ML8UXDVT1RC1J8HY6OP/Sister+Stories+Bio+-+Bethan+Axford.jpg Our Alumni - Make it stand out Bethan Axford - Oxford Bethan’s two great loves are story and making objects. For her these elements are key components of human existence. To make things and to tell stories are ways humans have always used to understand our place in the world, and through that to make a path for the way we want to shape our future. That is the core of her work in the world, as an architect, potter, sewer and human, nowhere more so than with Story Talisman, where she weaves her client’s stories into sacred objects to be markers for their life’s transitions. Bethan trained with Sister Stories to deepen her personal relationship and understanding of the importance of owning our stories, and to be able to take understanding into the world to help other women to understand it too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1658330873968-N6ZVAHPAKIHUES9JNINA/Charlotte+Sarre.jpg Our Alumni - Make it stand out Charlotte Sarre- South London Charlotte is a mother, a mentor to teen girls and a women’s circle facilitator.

Clare has always felt a deep connection to the healing and compassion that can come from sharing stories and is passionate about holding circles that feel accessible and restorative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/2723d457-5b18-45e1-8b7a-331fd4a6e144/Eszter+Bove.jpeg Our Alumni - Make it stand out Eszter Bove I am a mother of two daughters and an IBCLC lactation consultant, with 10 years of experience running mothers' groups, supporting families, and building community with great feedback and lovely results. In Connected Mothers' Circles, I bring together all my experience as a space holder in mothers communities, my 13 years of mothering two daughters and my previous professional experience as a primary school teacher. Matrescence is the process of ‘the birth of a mother’. Similarly to adolescence, it can take years and it is not a linear process. It comes with us completely ‘rearranging our nervous system’ and developing skills and abilities, emotions and social needs… it’s deep. And can be lonely at times. Come to Connected Mothers’ Circle to be seen. To be heard. To cry those un-cried tears. To laugh the unspent laughter. To be with yourself and others in an unhurried way that may not exist anywhere else in your life. We can be each other’s matrescence doulas’ in this space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/9a08f138-fcb2-4010-9399-a0aaffeb707d/IMG_7733.jpeg Our Alumni - Make it stand out Becky Jackson Leicestershire & Derbyshire Becky is a mother and holistic therapist. She discovered Sister Stories after embarking on her own inner healing journey. She has always felt the call to support and help others, and creating a space for women where belonging, acceptance and no judgment is of the essence was her vision. Alongside her passion for story telling, poetry and writing, her Circle journey has been deeply transformative. “In Circle we tend to our embers to light the fires within us” is how Becky’s heart spoke to her. She’s passionate about creating a space that feels like stepping into another realm, a place of sacred sanctuary that feels nurturing for the soul, offers a warming depth and a connective element that we can find within ourselves, as well as resonance with others through gathering in this special way with Circle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/2d5159e1-6aaa-40ab-a962-9a73de2ef4e4/unnamed+%281%29.jpg Our Alumni - Make it stand out Maria Murray Southend, Essex In the words of those who know her best, Maria is ‘a fierce yet tender force of nature, devoted to joy, connection, and full-bodied living.’ A seeker and space-holder, she weaves embodiment and circle facilitation—crafting spaces where vulnerability and laughter intertwine.

So much so that she started Fabulous Fabsters to encourage women who are FAB — Fifty And Beyond — to share their life experiences. She felt they had much to impart that might teach and inspire others and she was right! A lapsed architect, she has recently certified as a health coach. By encouraging women to understand why they do what they do, she channels her inner anthropologist and helps them make the sustainable changes they need to live their own empowered lives. As a Sister Story facilitator, she dreams of integrating the magic of Circles into as many women’s lives as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1557436201231-FC7FFQA0YTKZSATTJ6WO/Sister%2BStories_Rachel_LR.jpg Our Alumni Rachael Rafferty- Essex Lucky enough to have spent the majority of her career teaching and being taught by three and four year olds, Rachael understands the power of listening to and telling stories. As a child herself, Rachael did not speak until she was almost four years old and has always treasured the delicate tension between stillness and expression. Now skilled in diverse methods of communication, Rachael has often been told that her kindness and empathetic nature help people to feel safe in articulating their thoughts and feelings in her presence. Valuing connection and community, Rachael loves to gather with others and discover the similarities and differences that exist in all of us and our experiences of the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1581279299922-SSPQ6D9SJ74KMFQUEPXC/ELLIE_SISTERSTORIES.jpg Our Alumni Ellie Dobbie- Clapham Ellie is a graphic designer, design teacher and yoga teacher.

A career in the theatre has been a spring board for storytelling but it’s in circle with other women she feels tender connection and authenticity. Amelia’s approach is with simplicity and warmth, and a deep belief that every woman should be heard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1590151702443-1336DUZI4EB31IN1IOP1/jenn%2Bcarr%2B1.jpg Our Alumni Jennifer Carr- Barcelona Jennifer works as a scriptwriter and nutrition coach in Barcelona, Spain.

Today, she now facilitates circle sharing, to bring the alchemy of Sister Stories to other women in her current home city, Barcelona. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1590158051954-8O4T0ONHPHDSR13YRCCC/Jess+Sumerling+.jpg Our Alumni Jess Sumerling- East London In the words of a dear friend, Jess is ‘a wild and unfinished example of a woman who is avidly unearthing who she is.’ Born and bred in London but with a heart in more natural landscapes, Jess is a learner and explorer of people, places and our stories in life. After a career as a creative producer, she yearned for new experiences and has gradually followed a different path. From training to guide in the mountains to qualifying as an Ayurvedic practitioner, the journey keeps unfolding but the intention remains the same. To be a physical and emotional companion, to connect, share, and offer compassion, embracing the imperfect uniqueness of us all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1590159000738-BX0WC8315KYW7PENGMJC/Kimi.jpg Our Alumni Kimi Lu- Phillippines Kimi has been a global life coach for 10 years now and empowers individuals to truly believe in themselves and operate with compassion.

The feeling is always mutual! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1590160531922-SOGYJJZWCNHOJMUISIDE/Cassie.jpg Our Alumni Cassie Mather-Reid -Calgary, Alberta, Canada Cassie is a Life Balance Coach, Yoga Teacher, Mother and Wife.

In the sacred space of circle, she experienced being gently held in her vulnerability and deeply heard as she put her stories into words. Sophie believes that all women have stories to tell but are not always given the space to find their voice. As a Sister Stories facilitator Sophie creates a calm and mystical space that empowers women to experience this ancient gift of storytelling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1616531258848-Y9USO3XHQRXINUWKY5K7/Alison%2BDinnie.jpg Our Alumni Alison Dinnie Alison's love for gathering women began in the season of her life when she worked as doula and antenatal teacher. Through this work she realised on countless occasions the strength that women carry, and this is where her deep admiration for women began. So, in 2020 she realised she needed to follow this calling again and discovered Sister Stories. Now Alison uses her skills as a space holder to create a sacred, nurturing and empowering space for women to come together and simply share, listen and be together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1623613124124-6INEGZMVL0KJ9ED7G7CQ/bio+pic+VMarechal+.jpg Our Alumni - Make it stand out Valerie Marechal- Brussels Valerie is mother of 3, wife, daughter, sister, integrative health coach, bodyworker, and consultant.

That means making the course accessible to a broad range of people, including those who don’t have the financial resources to pay for it. We are offering a pay what you can model for those who need it most. This is a very challenging time financially for many and we allocate a proportion of places on each course as bursary places. We ask that you apply only if you are experiencing true financial hardship as there is there is a huge demand for spaces and the Circle Facilitation Training can only run if those who are able to pay full price, do. https://www.sisterstories.co/how-to-avoid-causing-harm-in-circle daily 0.75 2023-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1583179758117-ZF17MHMCFCCVMH9LRIMT/Screen+Shot+2020-03-02+at+20.08.41.png Free Guide: How to Avoid Causing Harm in Circle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1584450191688-UET8W00XWD03103TRHC9/sister-stories_circle-anon.jpg Free Guide: How to Avoid Causing Harm in Circle - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1652347408680-I96XQGSXFF6JEZSS7W9C/sister-stories_circle-leaders.jpg Free Guide: How to Avoid Causing Harm in Circle - An Invitation to Brave Space Together we will create brave space Because there is no such thing as a “safe space” We exist in the real world We all carry scars and we have all caused wounds.

My ethnicity is diverse but my parents hail from the tiny island of Mauritius and me from the hills of Surrey, where they settled in the 70’s to work in the NHS psychiatric institutions of the time. As my career has developed, I’ve been drawn to two main areas; working systemically with groups, teams, and families (in many different formats), and in incorporating faith and spirituality into the space of well-being. I have been through the Sister Stories facilitation training and remain connected to this deep and important work. My current work is varied but amongst my most favourite things to do is to offer a supportive, nurturing, supervision space for groups and individuals to grow and learn from each other. I have been privileged as a psychologist to have regular good quality supervision from individuals who have seen me, held me, and gently encouraged me to grow over the past 20 years. It is with this love and experience that I now offer this space to others bringing with me my training in Open Dialogue (systemic psychotherapy) and the essence of a sister stories circle. These supervision sessions are for those of you facilitating circles out in the world, a space for you to come and be seen and heard in your experiences of this work, to be guided by me and held by the group, to share vulnerabilities, worries, challenges, and concerns so that we may support each other in times of uncertainty. Supervision also offers a space to truly become reflective practitioners by remaining present with your needs as a facilitator to be able to continue offering the most congruent spaces in your circles, and indeed your lives.” https://www.sisterstories.co/cft-2024 daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1583925428225-EO1QFS6LDO5U3SRG5A84/Screen+Shot+2020-03-11+at+11.16.07.png CFT 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1583419244878-L9113LRK68LAUNBK11IH/sisters_stories_by_leticia_valverdes-56.jpg CFT 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1583419269322-RZ8RAI7PRBJIIDJ7IXGF/sisters_stories_by_leticia_valverdes-77.jpg CFT 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/a84273c3-b818-4d20-97d9-71cec424cc7c/Screenshot+2022-12-08+at+19.44.34.png CFT 2024 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1583419425868-4W3435WPXQU1LEEG0Q38/sisters_stories_by_leticia_valverdes-64.jpg CFT 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1583419452588-GUZMBFJKLKS96VU2ZNNJ/sisters_stories_by_leticia_valverdes-15.jpg CFT 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1583420566861-F77EUEKRO75A61B07LYG/sisters_stories_by_leticia_valverdes-63.jpg CFT 2024 - “I would recommend Sister Stories training to any woman who feels called - i t is without doubt one of the best personal investments I’ve ever made.

The spiralling out of my world through Circle has created such a rich tapestry of experience, connection, knowledge and community. Circle work has become my soul-food, my medicine, my way home and my journey forward. I trained in 2022 and have been running fortnightly in-person circles - and several larger seasonal circles and events - ever since. I have also been commissioned to write the opening chapter and introduction of a new book on women’s circles; founded and run a successful nationwide online women’s circle directory; and delivered circles for several charities working in mental health and trauma.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1583422712684-B6NTDN0YV8E93GYTE71Z/Screen+Shot+2020-03-05+at+15.38.01.png CFT 2024 - “We encourage women to come with an undefended heart.

I was used to doing meaningful work that reached millions, but something in me longed for more connection, truth and soul. Sister Stories came to me as a clear, almost otherworldly flash of inspiration. The name, the format, the vision… it arrived fully formed. To this day, I don’t know quite how to explain it, only that I listened, I followed the impulse. I said yes. Holding circles was my creative response to a desire for more connection, more soulful ways of relating and more truth. I had no 'plans' for it. I simply got into the practice of tuning into what felt most true and alive to me, found the words and images that best represented that, and shared them with the world. And each event sold out. Over the next four years, I followed that same path - slow, gentle, attuned. I listened for what felt like the next right step. In 2021, it felt right to take the work full-time and within five months, Sister Stories became a six-figure business that supports both me and my family. Since running Medicine myself in January 2025, everything has deepened. I’ve reduced my workload by a third, including taking the entirety of the school summer holidays off. And yet, this is on track to be my biggest year in my business to date. This isn’t a coincidence. It is the embodied result of walking this path - less striving and hustling and grasping, more attunement. Less noise, less action for action’s sake, less feeding Meta’s content machine. More listening. It’s been the simplest, most aligned and alive year of my work yet. It’s a living testament to what happens when we truly make our work our medicine. Over the years, I’ve had many people ask me to share how I built a thriving, soul-led business. I even became a CPD-accredited business strategist in order to do that work more fully. But what I’ve found, over and over, is this: You can have all the strategy in the world, but if you’re depleted, disconnected, or out of integrity with your work’s true essence, it won’t land. What matters most is your relationship to the work itself. Being rested. Being resourced. Being in the right relationship. Having the courage to resist the grind, the moulds, the noise and do things differently. That’s what Medicine is here to hold. If you feel the call, I would be honoured to support you as you begin your own conversation with the soul of your work. And in offering this, I must name two teachers whose work has shaped my own path: Nisha Moodley and Hiro Boga, both of whom offered me not just the phrase “the soul of my work,” but the deep permission to relate to my business as something sacred, alive, and worthy of devotion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/88300c3c-4dfa-46bd-b811-6391614deeec/Medi4.png Medicine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/feb56a75-a390-42a6-a2f0-89f454889563/kristy-lou-photography-5aSkkClEj6o-unsplash.jpg Medicine - soul: ATTUNE, DEEPEN, LISTEN We begin by asking your work to speak and truly hearing it. This is about meeting your work as a living being, something to be in devoted partnership with, not a taskmaster. You create a devotional thread, a daily practice of attunement, that becomes your compass for how you express yourself and work in the world. TANGIBLE OUTCOME A soul-statement or visual map of your work’s deeper essence A new devotional practice that anchors your week https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/7bb4068e-2c71-4e4e-8e07-f8bd3b09df15/D.jpg Medicine - CYCLE: Release, Rest, Reorient Here, we name what no longer serves. We bury the outdated identities, the patriarchal contortions and contractions and inherited ‘shoulds.’ We hold rest and restoration as a central strategy, designing a rest ritual that nourishes you on a creative, sensory, and spiritual level, one that fits your actual life. We use rest and stillness not as something we collapse into, exhausted, but as the soil in which we plant ourselves to birth more impactful and aligned work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/30684220-d037-4b26-8c0f-1f0ae111d0f8/viktor-mischke-5DhF61cnlTE-unsplash.jpg Medicine - DEVOTION: Clarify, Choose, Step Foward From that clarity and embodied quiet, we begin to root into mission. We craft a living, breathing articulation of why you’re here that moves beyond the traditional ‘mission statement. We’ll write from the depths of ceremony, speak from devotion. And take gentle steps forward. You’ll choose one place where energy is leaking in your work and lovingly seal it with a boundary that protects your wellbeing. Through creating a strong container, your creative spark can flourish. You’ll begin taking one deeply impactful soul-aligned action each week, not because you “should,” but because you want to. We don’t force, we learn to flow. What a way to be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/8ab2a3e3-7ffe-4bdb-992e-9203cfeda841/aleksandr-zaitsev-Ua7cD_bQyT4-unsplash.jpg Medicine - EXPRESSION: Enchant, Share, Integrate Here is where beauty leads. You’ll explore what it means to share your work with clarity, courage and a sense of magic, or enchantment. We move towards a place where you can be seen in your full expression, without leaking endless energy, forcing, or overgiving. Here, we weave what we have discovered in Medicine into your real, working life. TANGIBLE: One piece of soul expression shared (a programme or project, a poem, a new offering - something concrete and so utterly aligned. A creative rhythm to return to A softer, sustainable relationship with visibility and voice A loving manifesto + activation plan for the year ahead https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/9347dad1-6839-4242-82ac-a2d93d2333d8/SSFlame.png Medicine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/c3a7c22a-419e-4ede-bbfd-63b24abcb5b7/MEDICINEDATES.png Medicine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.sisterstories.co/free-masterclass-feb-2025 daily 0.75 2025-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1583179463526-ZDI1U5UIG4KCKY9YJL7V/Screen+Shot+2020-03-02+at+20.02.05.png The Rise of The Women's Circle Masterclass https://www.sisterstories.co/cft-2026-later-dates daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/1739371347512-JKWQIM9N9YA5IUX2X30W/Sister_Stories_Sales_Page_Banner_001.jpg CFT 2026 - LATER DATES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/453e8ebb-8956-43a8-b2ec-34ba3d126b75/Sister_Stories_Sales_Page_Banner_001.jpg CFT 2026 - LATER DATES - KEY DATES - april 2025 (all sessions are 90 mins) CORE CALLS: 24 April - Opening session 8 May · 22 May · 5 June · 19 June · 3 July · 17 July · 31 July 1-27 AUGUST - SUMMER BREAK 28 August · 4 September · 11 September 25 September - Graduation In addition, we have weekly optional processing calls at 1pm on Mondays, designed to support your journey through the training; and several masterclasses with our extraordinary team of mentors throughout the course.

A circle is an ancient way of gathering- a space where we come together not to fix or solve, but to listen, witness, and be heard. It is a place of deep presence, where stories are shared, hearts are held, and something unspoken is remembered. A circle is both timeless and urgent, offering refuge in a world that moves too fast. A circle can be secular and sacred: not tied to any one tradition, yet deeply meaningful. Sacred means reclaiming something lost- the quiet power of gathering, the deep medicine of being truly seen. Sacred means making space for devotion to our hearts- a place where our inner voices rise and are met with kindness. Sacred means bowing down to the humanity we all share- to the tenderness, the truth, the rawness of being alive, together.

A circle is an ancient way of gathering- a space where we come together not to fix or solve, but to listen, witness, and be heard. It is a place of deep presence, where stories are shared, hearts are held, and something unspoken is remembered. A circle is both timeless and urgent, offering refuge in a world that moves too fast. A circle can be secular and sacred: not tied to any one tradition, yet deeply meaningful. Sacred means reclaiming something lost - the quiet power of gathering, the deep medicine of being truly seen. Sacred means making space for devotion to our hearts- a place where our inner voices rise and are met with kindness. Sacred means bowing down to the humanity we all share- to the tenderness, the truth, the rawness of being alive, together. Will you join us? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/f61bc4c4-ce6e-42c3-abd6-103e8521f690/DSC_8671.jpg One Sacred Circle 2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.sisterstories.co/one-sacred-circle-ty daily 0.75 2025-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/df4767d9-efe8-4a9c-aef9-902031044a04/OSC+-+2026+%284%29.png One Sacred Circle TY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb1d06e34c4e255f149ce23/eb8cc9fb-207c-4878-aa37-c523b2dd6005/Sisters+Stories+by+Leticia+Valverdes54.jpg One Sacred Circle TY - What is a circle?
