About our Circle:
Around a winding lane, deep into Sussex countryside.
Along a river, by a farm, under the stars.
You reach, in fragile moonlight, a quiet yurt, candle-lit, a humble fireside.
A 'yin'* and inclusive space for your sacred, fierce, empowered feminine aspects to be expressed.
We come to meet, share, create.
Starting with a quiet meditative pause.
Time to share how we are.
The possibilities of journaling, poetry, art making, eco-therapy, arts in nature and more.
Your expression, your inspiration.
Let’s make magic happen
Our Typical Format:
· A short meditation
· Sharing circle
· A group creative activity (e.g. with craft, art, nature)

Your Contribution:
We each contribute £7 per circle to cover our rent and other expenses. No one receives an income, and we all take turns sharing roles.
