Feeling a need to gather with like-minded women around San Diego? In this article you will discover the importance of women’s circles, the benefits, and where to find a women’s circle in San Diego!

What are Women’s Circles?

Women’s circles are a place where women come together to share goals, stories, and heal. You may find some that incorporate womb healing practices, cacao ceremonies, sound healing, ecstatic dance, astrology, and more.

Many historical women circles are directly tied to menstruation and the moon cycles. Red Tent gatherings, also known as a moon lodge, are traditional all over the world and date back to 800 CE.

3 Benefits to Women’s Circles

From emotional support to guidance, you may find a plethora of benefits at your local women’s gathering. Here are 3 of the top benefits:

Supportive environment

Going much deeper than a casual get together with friends, women’s circles are all about cultivating depth and connection.  Since many women go through life feeling isolated and alone, gathering with like-minded women can show us how universal our struggles truly are.

During a women’s gathering, you can share your deepest fears, thoughts, and dreams. Through this, lasting bonds can be made. If you find yourself bottling up emotions, feeling isolated, or moving through challenging stressors, a women’s circle is a great place to release and flow.

Empowerment

A women’s circle can help you see how wonderful you are. Within this space is an opportunity for your natural gifts, talents and beauty to be seen and shared. Many circles strive to break down competition and jealousy. This can create a safe and powerful space for women to become empowered.

Some women’s circles may even share tools, information and offer lessons on a particular subject.  Surrounded by a community of women, you may find your confidence and sense of self expanding!

Emotional safety

Women naturally deal with stress differently than men through a process known as the tend and befriend response. This response produces a beneficial hormone called oxytocin, also known as the “cuddle hormone.”

Ancestral women knew that by coming together, they felt safer and more able to protect their young from an attack. So when you connect with other women,  you produce even more oxytocin and feel emotionally safe.

DIY Women’s Circle

If you are unable to join a women’s circle close by then another option is to create your own! It may feel daunting at first but you can ask any of your current friends to support you in your vision.

Here is what you will need:

1. Women: Naturally, of course, you will need to invite women! Invite your current girlfriends, neighbors, or coffee shop baristas to join.
2. A theme or topic: The sky’s the limit! From tea making ceremonies to song circles, you can choose the hobbies you enjoy most to share.
3. A venue: Whether it be at your house, a park, your friends place, or one of the top venues in your neighborhood, your divine gathering needs a temple space.
