No experience needed. Come alone, come as you are.
You're not the only one
When was the last time you had an evening just for you?
So many of us spend our days caring for others, keeping up with work, and moving from one responsibility to the next. Somewhere along the way, it gets easy to go weeks without a quiet moment or a conversation that goes deeper than the day's to-do list.
Maybe you've been craving real connection. A place where you can be seen and heard, without having to perform or have it all figured out. A circle of women who simply get it.
This circle was made for that longing.
The Women's Wisdom Circle is a two-hour, in-person gathering where women come together to connect, reflect, and learn from one another. Each month we explore a different Hindu goddess, drawing inspiration from Sally Kempton's Awakening Shakti.
The heart of it all is community: the wisdom each woman brings, and the wisdom we discover together.
November's Reflection
Meet Lakshmi
Within the Hindu tradition, Lakshmi is honored as the goddess of abundance, beauty, love, generosity, and prosperity. She is often depicted seated on a lotus, a flower that rises clean and open from muddy water.
Her teachings remind us that abundance is not only about money. It lives in our relationships, in gratitude, in beauty, in generosity, and in our ability to receive.
Questions we'll explore together
- Where is abundance already present in my life?
- How comfortable am I with receiving?
- What does true richness mean to me?
- How might gratitude and generosity shape my everyday life?
You don't need to follow any particular spiritual tradition to participate. We approach Lakshmi with respect for her Hindu roots while exploring what her symbolism can invite us to consider in our own lives.
