Courtyard Sister Circle

For centuries women have been coming together to celebrate the highs of life, commemorate the low ones, and generally strengthen the bonds of sisterhood through conversation and shared experiences.

As society has become more fragmented, and the pace and demands of life have become ever more hectic, there are fewer opportunities for women to converge and share a space where we can grow and learn together.

Sharing the things that are in our hearts creates a space of shared vulnerability that leads to deep connection. The circumstances of the last 14 months have shown us how much we yearn for deep connection with each other. And having the experience of being heard and supported by other women is a deep-rooted need that all women have. It helps to unlock our power.

Once a month we will be creating a safe space at the Courtyard for women of all ages to come together and be heard. It will be a place to empower each other, share wisdom or simply listen and be present in a supportive space.

Sister Circle Guiding Principles

Please read these guiding principles carefully before joining the circle

Please do all you can to join us for the start of the circle. It will help us to create a safe and welcoming environment for everyoneBe as present as possible. Be here with your doubts, fears and failings as well as your convictions, joys and successes, your listening as well as your speakingPlease cultivate curiosity, kindness and gentleness towards one anotherObserve deep confidentiality. Safety is built when we can trust that our words and stories will remain with the people with whom we chose to share and are not repeated to others without our permissionEvery invitation to speak or share is just that: an invitation. Passing or staying quiet is perfectly acceptable. If you decide to share with the group, please speak from your heartPlease give your fullest, kindest, warmest attention to the person speaking. Many times, it is our being together with full attention that is most helpfulNo fixing, saving, advising or correcting each other. This is one of the hardest guidelines for those of us who like to ‘help’ but it is vital that we all have permission to show up as we are. We learn best when we make space for our own inner wisdom to emergeThere may be silence at times. Trust and learn from it. Silence is a gift in our noisy world, and a way of knowing in itself.
