I'm not sure I'm ready to lead a women’s circle...
That is exactly why we made this course, so no worries! This experience will do SO much more than get you prepared to lead a women circle. It will give you the foundation, confidence, and expertise to go into any setting to be a powerful, grounded, graceful presence that guides energy to empowered outcomes.
What is a women’s circle, and why would I want to lead one?
A women’s circle is a gathering for women to feel safe, heard and seen in the presence of sisterhood. It’s an ancient practice that is having a resurgence in modern culture. A circle doesn’t have to look a certain way, it can be an intimate gathering at your house or a larger experience at a yoga studio. Creating a transformational experience is more of an art than a science and we have inspired and taught over 15,000 women this sacred practice.
Leading a women’s circle is a way to step into your power, to leave behind feelings that you aren’t a leader, or that you can’t be seen. Leading a women’s circle is not about being the “best”, or the most informed. Being a facilitator is about being authentic, sitting as equals with other women, and creating a container by being your most-authentic-self for other women to do the same.
I have never been to a women’s circle...
This program is for both regular-moon-circle-participants and first-timers! We will share with you everything you’ll need to know to start one. You’ll get to learn from the Co-Founders of Global Sisterhood Lauren Walsh, and Shaina Conners and a network of global facilitators on their biggest learnings, best rituals, songs and meditations, and transformational conten
Who are the facilitators?
Here is a message from Lauren Walsh: Hey, I’m Lauren and will be leading you through this Circle Initiation Course.
Growing up, I felt I didn’t belong. I doubted my worth, hated my body, and deeply struggled with relationships. In my early 20’s, I sought healing and deeper meaning by walking a spiritual path. Through this, I found sisterhood — the type of sisters that are willing to fully see you and go deep with you. This rapidly changed my life.
Since then, I have led women’s circles, coached, and guided transformational experiences for the past 11 years. Global Sisterhood is a reflection of my journey. It exists because millions of women like me are waking up, doing our inner work, and cultivating sisterhood. It exists because of these women… and because of you.
Global Sisterhood and Circle Initiation are spaces I created where we gather together and take off our masks. Here, we get real, heal, and become the leaders and teachers of a balanced and just world.
What's the time investment?
We recommended allowing 2-3 hours a week for 7 weeks to complete the course! You can take the course at your own pace if a conflicting event arises. All of our video sessions will be recorded. That’s the beauty of an online class!
When will this course be offered live again?
We are no longer offering a live course of Circle Initiation. (Joind the waitlist)
