In our culture, it’s rare to find a safe place for women to express their inner truth and be heard by other women seeking personal growth. A Woman Within Circle is a place to nourish and strengthen our spirits and open our hearts; a place to be seen, heard, challenged and accepted by other women as we share our joys, our sorrows and our intentions to live a more fulfilled life. Women’s Circles are based on the principal that each woman has the innate wisdom to find the answers she seeks.
Most circles meet on a weekly basis and the two hours becomes a journey of deepening self-awareness and wisdom, a place to de-stress, a place to be you.
Woman Within Circles:
- Typically meet for 2-3 hours; one to four times a month in a member’s homes
- Usually have between 5-10 members
- Are Confidential; Open to any woman over 18
- Are free to join and participate
- Are Self-led; Leadership is shared
- Support one another’s efforts to feel more empowered, more fulfilled and to heal emotional wounds.

Want to Join a Woman Within Circle? Here’s how:
Step 1:
If you want to join a Woman Within Circle, contact the Circle Community Contact closest to where you live to confirm whether there are openings in existing Woman Within Circles in your area or if there are other women on a waiting list who want to start a Circle. You are welcome to attend a Circle Training and gain new skills even if there are no openings or are not interested in joining a Woman Within Circle at the time.
Step 2:
Prior to joining a Circle, attend a Circle Training Workshop. The focus of this workshop is to provide experiences and tools for women to successfully create and participate openly and honestly within a Women’s Circle and is based upon the philosophies of Woman Within International, an organization dedicated to helping women know and embrace all parts of themselves. The exercises help women develop their communication and listening skills and explore topics essential to women reclaiming their power and voice.
Want Support for Your Existing Circle?
Sometimes existing Circles could benefit from support to help them grow, go deeper, build skills or address unresolved issues. We have mentors available to support your Circle. Please list your circle and submit a mentor request.
