Women’s Circles in Salem, Oregon

Sister Circle Gatherings

Women’s circles are an age-old tradition in which women gather together in sisterhood. The circle is a space in which we meet, without the roles we typically assume, and sit together as women on a level plane. It is here that we practice seeing and being seen as our most authentic selves. 

Questions & Answers

What happens at a women’s circle?

The gathering will begin with shared food and visiting, then transition into the circle portion. We will begin this with a grounding exercise, then move into a time of sharing, with prompts focused on the topic of the gathering. The circle will conclude, then we will continue with a bit more socializing and possibly an activity before parting ways. It will be about a two hour event.

Who can come to a women’s circle?

Women age 18 & older are welcome at this gathering. This is an event exclusively for women, please leave your partners and husbands at home. You are welcome to bring any trusted women that you would like to share in the experience of a women’s only gathering.

Are children permitted?

To allow for a more focused environment, the circle is not open to children older than infants in arms. 

Will there be food?

A light meal or hors-d’oeuvres will be served. Beverages will also be available.

Is there a cost for these gatherings?

No, these circles are free events.

What is the point of a women’s circle?

A women’s circle functions as a protected environment that allows us the opportunity to drop the facades we typically adopt in the interest of being present with one another as women without hierarchy. It is not a place to give or receive advice, but rather to practice being together and sharing in authenticity, with acknowledgement of where each woman is at in her individual journey.

I’ve never done something like this, should I still come?

All women are welcome to these gatherings, whether you have attended women’s circles in the past or not. Your presence and input will be greatly valued.

Do I have to talk?

No, you are not required to speak in the circle, but there is an invitation to be in reciprocity with the vulnerability of the other women present by responding with your own, if you so choose.

Should I bring anything?

Only yourself, prepared to be in full presence with other women. Feel free to bring a friend as well.
