The transformational power and healing potential of "reclaiming circle" with Danielle Catherine

There is power in circles. Both the actual shape, reminding us of our cycles, the ways the seasons move, the shape of the sun and the full moon.But also, there is power in creating spaces to share and grow in the form of circles, and perhaps even more potency when we gather as women (or folks with wombs) in this space together.Ritually. Ceremonially. Intentionally. For today's guest, Danielle Catherine, women's circles have changed her life. They've helped her to reflect on her own tendencies to try to fix others, people please and initially not really be listening. Through about 10 years of facilitating circles in-person in France, Costa Rica, Peru and now Bali - as well as leading women's circles online - she has learned a LOT about herself and encouraged her to grow into a deeply intuitive and adapting style of holding these ceremonial spaces in her communities.We talk all about what women's circles are, how Danielle structures her circles (which is a little different in person than online), and what the growth and healing potential is when consistently participating in (or leading) these spaces.If you've ever been curious about how to bring a women's circle (or circle for folks with wombs, or any particular group) into your community, this is a perfect episode for you to get started.Listen to learn:how to craft an intentional, heart-centered women's circlewhat 10 years of participating and leading circles has taught Daniellethe basic structure of an effective, ceremonial circlethe importance of deeply listening and not responding in circlesome ideas on how to intuitively plan each circleDanielle's advice on self-reflection before hosting your first circleResources:Sign up for the Natural Contraception course waitlist!Today's shownotes: Get links to Danielle's offerings + Yoni Shakti bookEpisode 34: What if your womb was an altar?Episode 52: Beyond aphrodisiacsEpisode 90: 5 effective non-hormonal birth control optionsIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!
