The Circles Rising Program is a 13 week, in person course that includes experiential exercises geared towards deepening communication, strengthening leadership skills, and building community.
The Circles Rising Program Includes:
At its heart, Circles Rising is about building community. We offer the opportunity to experience what’s possible when women gather intentionally: collective resilience, emotional healing, shared wisdom, and deep belonging.
Participants will learn how to build trust, navigate conflict with care, communicate authentically, and create sustainable circle spaces grounded in connection and accountability.
By the end of the program, participants will have the skills and confidence to facilitate structured women’s circles, strengthen their communities, and cultivate meaningful, supportive relationships.
This opening module welcomes participants into the Circles Rising experience and establishes the foundation for the journey ahead. Participants begin building trust, connection, and a sense of belonging within the group. Together, the circle begins to create a supportive container where each woman is seen, heard, and valued.
This module introduces the foundational agreements that help create safety and trust within the circle container. The group will begin building a shared understanding of accountability. This module lays the groundwork for creating a circle culture rooted in respect and belonging.
This module explores how cultural conditioning and patriarchal systems have created separation, comparison, and mistrust among women. Together, the group will discover how to transform separation into belonging. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of why women’s circles matter and how our differences can become a source of collective strength and wisdom.
The participant-led open circle provides an opportunity for participants to step into the role of facilitator, and experience the flow of a women’s circle. These sessions create space for participants to deepen relationships, witness one another’s growth, and experience the transformative power of group wisdom and shared leadership.
In Circle, one person speaks, and the entire circle listens. This module invites participants to practice both authentic expression and intentional listening, recognizing that both are equally powerful acts.
When women show up authentically, conflict may happen. This module reframes conflict from something to avoid into something to move through with intention, care, and courage. Repair is where trust is built, voices are honored, and relationships become resilient.
This module introduces participants to the practice of sharing unspoken truths in a way that is consensual and relationally safe. Through structured exercises, participants learn how to express without harm and listen without overwhelm or reactivity.
