“Why circle in together?

We sit to be heard. To speak without being judged.

To share our stories without having to make an articulate point.

We sit to listen. To rekindle the ancient art of listening with open hearts.

To know other [womxn] on a heart to heart level.

We sit to spill tears and laughter, and to hold on to a strong thread of silent solidarity.

We sit to see truth. To have parts of ourselves revealed to us.

To have the stories of others laid bare.

To hear words spoken that shoot into the heart like a lightning strike.

To come to understand a wisdom unveiled in silence…”
