Episode #62 Sisterhood - why we need women's circles - Why Women's Health is suffering and what you can do about it - Part 3 -

This is Part 3 of the series of episodes on Why Women’s Health is Suffering and What You Can Do About It. This week Alison is looking at the deep need for sisterhood which, for many women, is an unmet need; we may not even consciously be aware that this is what our soul is crying out for.

Alison talks about why we need women’s circles and how coming together with other women can fulfil a deep spiritual need.

Women supporting women in this way and holding space for one another moves away from the patriarchal constructs towards the feminine - interconnection, vulnerability and relating to one another.

How many of us really feel heard? Do you start a conversation and then find you are interrupted or the person listening is just biding their time until they can interject with their story or you are corrected, judged or criticised or showered with meaningless compliments? Meeting women in circle is not about fixing anything it is about bearing witness to the magical alchemy that occurs when women sit in circle.
