"Women's Power Circles Birthday Gathering:
Being loved for being ourselves"
Circle Story submitted by Rosjke Hasseldine
Women's Power Circles graduates gathered to celebrate Women's Power Circles' birthday in Nottingham, United Kingdom. As the women arrived they were delighted to greet old and new friends and the room quickly filled up with strong warm voices. All the women had experienced a six-week circle during which they'd shared their stories and examined their mother's, grandmother's and their own lives through the three key themes of Women's Power Circles - claiming our emotional needs, feeling more visible in our relationships, and claiming our entitlement to be our own person and live life on our terms.
After we'd cheered on each other's successes and gave encouragement to our struggles, we performed a Rope Retying Ceremony, adapted from an American Indian Women's ritual. We stood in a circle holding a red piece of string around the inside of us. (The red string was symbolic of our biblical sisters who used to gather in the Red Tent during their moon time.) We took turns to cut ourselves away from the string while we shared what relationships, beliefs or experiences we were cutting ourselves away from because they were not helping us be our full selves. After we'd cut ourselves away we went around again and retied ourselves to each other and shared what needs, boundaries and rights we were going to be mindful of in our relationships and how we treated ourselves. Milli Galgut later weaved a beautiful basket with the string to symbolise our "New Perspectives".
At the end of the ceremony the room felt lighter. A lot had been released. We also felt less alone because we had cut away so much similar stuff and retie ourselves from a place of being loved.

Circle Tips ~ Power Circles
submitted by Ann Smith
ann@circleconnections.com
Power comes from within the circle. Circles with a sacred center honor and utilize the power of Source, especially the Divine Feminine through rituals and practices adopted and co-created by circle members.
Power-with replaces power-over; everyone is valued and shares the information, resources and leadership. All are experts; Circle is teacher, sage and prophet.
Tend, mend, co-create and collaborate flourish; the oxytocin effect.
Knowing and using this power transforms our lives, our families, communities and world.
