Women's+ Circle

We welcome you to join us for a very special Women's+ Circle (LGBTQIA+ welcome!) and cacao ceremony where we will come together as women, mamas, aunties, and grandmas of our community to offer blessings and our love for a new baby and little one of our circle. We are so excited to honor and celebrate her together!

Because of the nature of this event as a baby blessing, this particular circle will be free to attend. There is no requirement to bring a gift but if you feel called, you certainly can, or you can contribute a monetary gift for the new mamas to support them in their journey!

To help us keep our women’s circle grounded, welcoming, and intentional, please keep the following in mind:

+ Fragrance & Ritual: We use incense, sage, and palo santo as part of our rituals. These are meaningful and central to our practice. If you're sensitive to smoke, you're welcome to sit farther from the altar, we just ask that you respect the presence of these elements.

+ Timeliness & Presence: Please plan to arrive a few minutes early and stay for the full event. Coming or going during the circle can disrupt the sacred container we’re holding together.

+ Sharing Space: During discussion, we aim to witness and support one another, not to fix. If you feel called to offer advice or reflections, please ask first: “Would you like feedback or just to be heard?” We also invite everyone to be mindful of how much space they’re taking up in conversation, and to leave room for those who haven’t spoken yet.

+ Staying on Topic: Please stay present with the discussion prompt or theme during the circle. We leave time at the end for open connection and off-topic conversation.

+ Pronouns & Inclusion: We honor each person’s identity. If you’d like to share your pronouns during introductions, this is a safe space to do so.

+ Confidentiality & Consent: What is shared in circle stays in circle. Please don’t share someone else’s story outside the space unless you have their clear permission.

+ Accessibility: If you have any access needs or questions about participating, feel free to reach out beforehand.

+ Location Details: In the colder seasons, our circles are currently held at HeartSpace, a community yurt. GPS will guide you to the home at the end of the street (street parking is available). There is some directional signage for "Heartspace" around the house and garage which lead you through the garage, up the stairs, and to the back of the home where the yurt is. Please note that due to the stairs, the space is not wheelchair accessible. If you have any issues finding the event location, please call or text 509-742-0194 BEFORE the start time. After this time, the phone will be silenced in respect for the circle.
