Sister Circle
Connecting women, face to face, in real life
Community
Welcome to a women-only space where women of all ages and stages of life can gather to connect, share, and support each other.
This is a safe environment to explore self-reflection, mindfulness, and creativity while building community.
Each meeting offers opportunities for activities like guided meditation, breathwork, journaling, tarot or other intuitive exercises- and when possible, nature walks and seasonal craft projects.
Whether you’re new to these practices or have long-standing personal rituals, this space is designed to honor your own journey, provide space for connection, and celebrate the unique wisdom of women together.
Meetings are held generally twice a month from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM. Started in January 2026, confirmed to continue through December 2026.
Our meetings are being hosted at FRIDA Book Cafe (unless stated otherwise), please click the link below to sign up via the FRIDA website.

Spring 2026
Meetings:
-
Mar 5, 2026 – Blood Moon
-
Join us for a special women’s circle honoring the energy of the Blood Moon, a total lunar eclipse and the final full moon before spring. As the earth begins to thaw and new life stirs, we will explore themes of renewal and awakening. The evening will begin with a warm introduction, followed by a simple and intuitive watercolor painting of the moon. We’ll then settle in to experience a full-moon meditation, write a reflective letter to ourselves, and finish with a tarot spread designed to illuminate what is ready to grow in the coming season.
-
-
Mar 19, 2026 – Spring Equinox
-
As we approach the Spring Equinox, this gathering embraces balance, new beginnings, and the rising energy of the season. We’ll open with an introduction before moving into a grounding guided meditation. From there, we’ll flow into stream-of-consciousness journaling to explore what is emerging within us. A “Soul Mirror” tarot pull will help deepen insight, and we’ll end the evening with a creative upcycled seed-starter craft to symbolize planting intentions for the months ahead.

-
Apr 2, 2026 – Spring Seeds of Intention Circle
-
As early spring energy strengthens, this circle centers on planting the intentions we want to nurture. We’ll begin with a warm introduction before moving into a gentle guided breathwork exercise to ground into the season of new beginnings. Together, we’ll create pressed-flower affirmation bookmarks, using spring florals and personal words of encouragement. Afterward, we’ll settle into a “Seeds of Growth” tarot pull, focusing on what is ready to sprout in our lives. The evening will close with a short guided visualization to help anchor and energize the intentions we are planting for the season ahead.
