The Wild Soul Circles are a way for us to tap back into the rhythms and cycles of nature, to bring forward our wildness, to reconnect with our higher selves and our deeper callings while making meaningful connections with those around us.
We currently offer circles seasonal that align with the changing of the seasons, they offer an opportunity to take part in a ritual gathering to facilitate reverence and sacredness in our lives.
ABOUT THE CIRCLES
We often offer guided meditations based around the astrological/seasonal energies, we talk about the ecological shifts both internally and externally that take place with the change in seasons, we journal, and we open the circle for sacred sharing, a practice that allows us to witness be witnessed by each other.
These circles are not associated with a singular path or religion, but they are heavily influenced by the natural world and the wisdom it offers. Each circle takes place in a different astrological time and space and these associations are used to guide and inform the theme of each circle.
We may sing, we may dance, we may write, we may laugh, we may cry, we will howl, but above all, we will ignite the wild heart and soul within us that is longing to be heard.
Attendees come from all manner of different spiritual and cultural backgrounds, and we strive to create a space that is welcoming and inclusive to all.
Circles are a Sacred Space
Nothing is ever shared outside of the circle.
You are welcome to share your own experiences in the circle, but you may never share the experiences or words of another. In this way, we can create a space of trust which allows for true openness and honesty.
Additionally, this isn’t the space to try and ‘help’ or ‘fix’ other’s problems, we don’t offer advice but rather hold space to witness, empathize, and support one another on their journey.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Time & Location
Each circle typically takes place close to the solstices and equinoxes. Our Instagram is likely the best place to find current offerings, they are hosted in conjunction with Golden Poppy Herbal Apothecary and their classes page will also hold information.
The location of each circle will be shared once you register.
In order to maintain the sacredness of the circles, please arrive early so you have time to get settled and say hello to those you wish to chat with. We close the space to new arrivals 5 minutes before the start time.
