🌿 2026 Women’s Elemental Circles: A Year of Seasons, Stories & Cycles
A 4-part ceremonial series inviting women into a yearlong journey through the seasons, the elements, and the initiations that shape our lives.
Rooted in Ayurveda, seasonal living, the medicine wheel, somatic wisdom, and feminine folklore, these circles draw inspiration from the ancient places women have always gathered—by the river, around the fire, under the moon, and upon the fertile earth. Together, we remember what it means to slow down, to listen, to be witnessed, and to belong.
Each seasonal gathering is guided by a fairy-tale figure, feminine archetype, and Ayurvedic elemental wisdom, offering a mythic and embodied lens through which to explore our own stories and life cycles. These circles honor the many thresholds women move through—menstrual beginnings, postpartum seasons, perimenopause, identity shifts, grief, becoming, and renewal—without hierarchy or expectation.
Every gathering includes space for both quiet reflection and shared voice, always invitational and consent-based.
✨ Each circle weaves together:
• Storytelling + folklore (origin stories, archetypes, and myth as mirror)
• Ayurvedic seasonal teachings + elemental balancing
• Somatic practices for nervous-system regulation and embodiment
• Slow, intuitive movement and rest
• Guided Yoga Nidra for deep restoration
• A facilitated sharing circle for witnessing, validation, and connection
🌬️ Our first gathering in February (Winter Circle: By the River) will be especially devoted to stillness, listening, and inner attunement—and will feature a live music soundscape, offering an immersive container for rest, reflection, and deep nervous-system settling.
This series is not about fixing, performing, or becoming something new. It is an invitation to remember, to honor the seasons within you, and to be held in community as you move through them.
Come as you are.
Your story belongs here.
