I never imagined I’d be leading women’s circles, let alone for ten years!
As I reflected on how I got here, something clicked. When I was a teenager, I belonged to a Jewish youth group. There were different roles for each member. My role was social organizer. I was in charge of calling the different boys’ chapters to set up parties between their group and ours, the Embers.. Even though I was shy, I loved it. It gave me a reason to reach out, to connect with people — especially boys, who I happened to be a fan of. I was always more comfortable hanging out with guys. Why? Looking back, I think it was because of the patriarchy which pits women against each other, encouraging us to be catty, judgmental, and competitive. Most of my early experiences with other girls and women felt like that. Maybe that’s why I was later drawn to organizing spaces for women to come together, to transform that old paradigm.
That’s not to say I didn’t have meaningful female friendships. I did. As a kid, I had two best girlfriends, and instead of being catty, they were supportive, interesting, and fun. I always craved more of that energy. It wasn’t until I read The Red Tent in my 40s that I figured out how I could truly create it. The book inspired me to create spaces like the Red Tent — cozy, inviting, womb-like spaces where women could gather and truly connect. The book touched a deep pain point for me: I was sorely missing that kind of female energy in my life. Not just casual get-togethers with random girlfriends, but intentional spaces to dive deep — with each other, with Spirit, and through the cycles of life, integrating personal, societal, and planetary evolution into our journeys.
It’s been an amazing 10 years of bringing women together and elevating the divine feminine. Woot, woot! Over these years, I have met and connected with many, many amazing, beautiful sisters, and watched them connect with each other. I feel the growth and support from all the work we’ve done together. I’m grateful for the abundance of yin energy in my life now, and for these meaningful connections with my sisters. Together we have radiated out into the world a wealth of divine feminine energy, helping to shift it toward a more balanced, harmonious planet.
