2025 Council Circles

Council is an ancient form of heart-centered sharing and listening. In sacred community, we honor the truth, stories, questions, and soulful longings we each carry within and create space for reconnecting with self, each other, Nature, and Soul.

Council of Awakening Women's Circle

February 6, 2025

6:30pm-9:00pm ET

(Indoors for Winter)

In honor of Imbolc & High Winter, we gather in sacred community to tend to the sacred fires within and speak from the heart. We find wild belonging with each other and look to Nature for wisdom, guidance and support. Our evening will begin with an overview of The Way of Council and we'll spend the rest of the evening in sacred conversation and ceremony with one another, embracing the themes of Imbolc. We will gather indoors since weather can be very unpredictable this time of year!
