Take a seat by the fire, let your soul settle, awhile.
Come to a space where you can soften, be held, express, explore.
Tend to the parts of yourself that are yearning for reconnection. To yourself, to others, to the essence of things.
This regular offering from the founder of Sister Stories, Gemma Brady, is a place for you to be held in Circle each month, with a community from all over the world.
Through the simplicity of coming together in a guided space, you will have the opportunity to connect to something deeply profound within yourself and within others that feels rejuvenating and vital.
The format is simple, we gather together to share of ourselves, hear the stories of others, experience the medicine of poetry, of meditation, of being.
Each month will have a different quality to it, a different kind of holding.
This is a low cost membership. There is no striving for an outcome. There is no destination. Simply the rich promise of allowing ourselves to unfurl and be held in Circle.
““My monthly time in The Gathering has become a sacred space for me. I have come to anticipate the sense of warmth and safety of our online group, and I feel my body relax in the hours before it. The calls are held with such a gentle grace without my ever feeling that Gemma is using a performative voice. It’s who she is, which shines through in the way every session goes.
If you are looking for a place where you can be heard in a group, where you can be safe to share both the light and the dark of yourself, where you can feel cocooned in the warmth of non-judgemental community, I wholeheartedly recommend The Gathering.” ”
AN INVITATION TO DEPTH AND PRESENCE
“Each time I gather a group in Circle, I am dazzled by the transformation that occurs in a container that is so simple. We come together, we circle, we share, we reflect. And during that process of bringing ourselves, our curiosity and our commitment, something extraordinary happens.
It defies words, almost.
Those who are drawn to this space don’t quite know what is calling them to it, but once they enter it, a deep knowing emerges. They feel why the yearning was there. In this space, each time we gather is different. The group may be large, it may be small. There may be sharing aloud, there may be the simplicity of meditative space and personal reflection.
Those who have sat with me previously will know the richness of the space, and for those who don’t, this is a way to get to know me and my work at a more affordable investment than our bigger programmes. “

THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
You yearn to be held in Circle.
You long for a gentle, beautiful yet powerful space to land.
You are willing to show up for a space Online and will bring your full presence.
You would like the rhythm of a monthly gathering in Circle to hold you steady, beating like a drum throughout your year.
You are open hearted, open minded and willing to enter a container with souls from many different backgrounds
You are seeking to shift something in your life, but you don’t, perhaps, know quite what that is. You do not need clarity to enter this process, just willingness.
THE FORMAT
WE GATHER: Each month, we will gather on Zoom.
WE ARE HELD: The Circle will be led by Gemma Brady, founder of Sister Stories.
WE CIRCLE: The group will take a collective journey, rooted in the simplicity and purity that has shown itself to be the beating heart of Sister Stories.
OUR PART: Gemma holds the space, feeling into the needs of the community and the context of the wider world, designing each circle based on the emergent needs of the collective.
YOUR PART: Commit to the gatherings, entering the space with an undefended heart, trusting the process.
PLEASE NOTE:
This is not a group coaching programme; this is a co-created experience, which each participant enters with a curious heart, hungry soul and emerges from with a rich new perspective on themselves, their life and their community.
We cannot promise particular outcomes; these Circles will feel different to you all. What we can promise is a space delivered with full heart, soul, presence and generosity of spirit.
THE BENEFITS
There is a mysterious power in being ‘held’ in a women’s group of this kind. Women who have undertaken the journey have described:
Increased confidence
A deeper connection to self
An ability to make bold, aligned decisions
Deeper relationship to self and others
Stronger boundaries
A renewed sense of hope and creativity
A feeling of true belonging
Many of these women felt drawn to this space, yet were nervous about joining or concerned about investing in a longer journey as opposed to a one off circle but somehow, knew they must. It has taken them to places within themselves that they haven’t explored before, leaving them feeling lighter and stronger.
