The Power of Circle

A Transformational Circle Leadership Programme For Women

Holding Space for a New Story of Feminine Wisdom and Leadership

Are are you feeling called to hold or be held in Circle?

In Rising Connected we know that in order to be and express the true potential of who we are, we need to be seen and met in our authenticity. Most of us have been starved of authentic connection and are yearning for the kind of relationships that give permission for us to be how we are and be witnessed with understanding and compassion.

Collectively as women we are in a mighty transformation of our inner worlds. Many of us are healing the inwardly engrained patriarchal ways of being we have adopted from cultural conditioning and learning how to bring our feminine wisdom to the fore without apology.

Reclaiming this buried power within is not a journey we can take alone and many women are waking up to the need for support in sisterhood.

We need to create safe spaces in which we can express who and how we are, and be met in our truth with acceptance and encouragement.

That’s why we have created The Power of Circle – an experiential training for women to create and hold transformative space in Circle, underpinned by 8 essential agreements and principles that enable a gentle yet powerfully healing space.

Whether you feel called to lead Circles as part of your business offering or participate in a Circle to support your own transformation, leadership and wellbeing, this experiential training will give you the embodied understanding, confidence and tools you need to participate in and co-lead a Circle for yourself and create transformative group spaces for your clients, employees or community.

 

Our regular Circle spaces and journey through the 8 Agreements has been a beautiful feminine journey of growing my self expression and authenticity. It’s been a way of new nurture and learning in my own well-being. Now with acceptance too of myself and in my 25 years practising Massage therapies and teaching yoga – I feel that in my transformation (still ongoing) I have the confidence and courage to use my skills in holding space for other women in Circle, groups and in 1-1 coaching.
Amanda Bucher
Yoga Teacher, Massage Practitioner and Transformative Coach
My trust has grown exponentially, in myself, in the process and in each and every circle. I could never have imagined the richness that being part of a circle could bring to me personally and the effect it has had on my life. To have a place where I can be absolutely authentic and to express how I feel, however that might be, is medicine for the soul. 
Rachael Halliday
Transformation Coach, Reiki Practitioner and Wellbeing Advisor
“The practice of being in circle and holding myself in the centre of The 8 agreements is really healing for me.”
Sarah Mook
Relational Life Coach
This Circle gave me real sustenance, a more intimate connection with others and Life, and all the guidance I needed to make sense of my leadership journey. There is so much love, vulnerability and integrity in these circles, that one can’t help but take that power out into the world.
Sarah Stout
Counselor and Transformative Coach
Joey is able to create a deep trust within the group and the sharing is intense and beautiful, echoing what feels like ancient wisdom, and freakily synchronistic… I often hear people speak the exact words I’m feeling. I love how Joey pauses, maybe asking a question or two, to help us remain rooted and present. In those moments it feels that I witness the healing actually taking place. 
Jo Royale
Interfaith Minister
One of the greatest realisations was finding out most of my fears and distortions are similar to everyone else’s. This, along with the authentic connections (& friendships made) has helped me to feel more confident in finding my voice & speaking my truth. Being in a safe space with like-minded souls and feeling supported with no judgement makes connecting in circles very special.
Karen Hutton
If you are considering the next stage of your own journey, I would highly recommend this programme as an invaluable source of support and nourishment. Invest in yourself – create the space and prepare to dive in and dive deep!
Helen Bailey
It is hard to describe how much this journey has given me, in confidence and a new ability to connect with people. It has healed many old wounds I have been carrying for so long and I feel full of energy for my personal and professional lives. If you have a chance to join this course it is life changing.
