“The circles of women around us weave invisible nets of love that carry us when we’re weak, and sing with us when we are strong.”
-SARK
Join us every first and third Tuesday of the month as we revive an ancient tradition of women gathering.
Sacred Sisters Frederick
Welcome! We are the facilitators of Sacred Sisters. In photo above: Nicole H, Nicole R, Amanda, Carrie, Tara, and Beccah (starting at the top, going clockwise). Together in September of 2022, Nicole H, Nicole R, Amanda, Beccah, and our other sister Ally founded Sacred Sisters. We have been holding this space ever since and have welcomed facilitators Tara and Carrie to support our community as well. We created this space because our hearts all yearned for the same thing: Sisterhood. A deep, playful, supportive, creative, courageous Sisterhood.
Women’s Circles are a tradition that goes way back within many different cultures. Often these circles involved song, dance, sharing, prayer, creating, teaching, caring, lifting up, laughing, and holding space for one another’s joys and sorrows. They involved women of all ages, and we invite women of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds to join our circle. It is so easy in this modern world to feel disconnected. From ourselves, from each other, and from the Earth. Each of us facilitators has tread a path of healing and personal transformation. And we continue to. We can do a lot of healing on our own, but truly there are some things that require community to heal. And we’re here for it. We’re ready to show up in a bold, authentic, and vulnerable way and we hope you’ll join us.

What We Do in Circle
We sit in sacred circle on blankets and cushions around a central altar. Each circle, one or more of our facilitators brings a theme, topic, and curated set of explorations and exercises then intuitively guides the group through them. Some circles may be deep, some may be playful, or all of the above. We may:
Learn embodiment practices and breathwork
Move our bodies, dance
Meditate and practice Mindfulness
Use our voices in song and vocal toning
Create art and write together
Share our thoughts, hearts, and dreams
Practice laughing together
Bring just yourself, just as you are. Walk away with tools, friendships, memories, greater clarity, inspiration, and support.
