Hello,
TLDR: Pssst! Our next circle is ** Monday, September 8th - 10am-12pm - At the StarHouse - with Mary Rose - Sign up here!
It has been so lovely to gather with many of you over the past few months. We realize that the last newsletter might have gone into people’s spam folders - so if you didn’t get it - check there!
If you know others who might want to join us, please ask them to join our newsletter email list here:

Each month we offer an in-person reciprocity circle gathering in the Boulder area, where you are invited to join in the celebration and abundance of receiving. Each month one or more people offers up their sacred feminine gifts in some way, and those of us who join are invited to receive their offerings, as a chance to both nourish ourselves, and serve as fuel from which to go out and nourish our communities.
Once you have joined a circle and received, you are invited to, but not required to, make an offering in a future circle. Your presence in the group is offering enough, though if you want to offer further (facilitating a workshop, helping with planning logistics, letting people sample and review your products, etc) as a means of testing out new ideas, promoting and connecting your work, or sharing your gifts with others, but all means, please do!
We are also playing with other ideas about how we might support each other and work togehter:
Shall we hire a photographer (perhaps within our network?) and get headshots affordably for many of us at once?
Should we register for some holiday markets together and co-sell our goods and services?
Should we do our own version of a mini-TEDx-type gathering, a “Sacred Feminine Talks” where we also hire a videographer and we can capture presentations for the speakers to use in their own work promotion?
Should we create a month-to-month course offering where we learn different skills from different members each month?
Shall we at least start with gathering, as we have been, and supporting each other as we learn, together? (Yes, please!)
We are excited to gather again for our next two upcoming community circles:
** Monday, September 8th - 10am-12pm - At the StarHouse - with Mary Rose - Sign up here!
** Sunday, October 12th - 1-4pm - A longer retreat where collective members are invited to bring their info/goods/etc to share (more info/location soon)
(We are playing with the timing: weekday days, weekday evenings, or weekends until we find a rhythm that works. Join us to share what rhythm works for you!)
To cover space rental fees, we are charging a small fee. We are charging $20 at the StarHouse gatherings, as the space rental fees are higher - but the energy is also higher!
This month, community member Mary Rose will be making an offering. She will be helping us explore the mother wound and sister wound—two powerful places where pain and possibility meet. Those who are seeking to embody sacred feminine qualities are often called to also honor the grief, hurt, and disconnection that live in our minds and bodies. These wounds often arise from our relationships with our mothers, biological sisters, and chosen sisters, as well as from the historical and cultural forces that have long pitted women against one another.
Together, we will shine a compassionate light on these inherited and lived experiences—not to stay in the pain, but to transmute the contractive energy into greater expansion, freedom, and connection.
In this workshop, we will:
* Drop into the body through somatic presence
* Share authentically from the heart
* Practice intentional clearing with the Paradox Process
This is an invitation to move beyond competition, comparison, and silence, and to reclaim the truth of our wholeness in connection with other women who are also individually and collectively healing the sister wound, together.
Join us for a sacred exploration of the mother wound and sister wound—two powerful places where pain and possibility meet.
Join us! We would love to be in circle with you!
May your day be blessed!

Reflection
This summer, while visiting my husband’s family in the UK, I was also able to visit the White Spring in Glastonbury. I had visited Chalice Well, just across the road, on a few previous visit, but it was my first time to the White Spring. Here, white water flows continuously out of the White Spring, and red water out of Chalice Well, even though they are just a road’s distance apart. This place, at the base of Glastonbury Tor, is meant to once have been the Isle of Avalon (of King Arthur lore) and is often depicted as representing the divine masculine and divine feminine balance. I took you all, and the potential of this collective, with me as a dear friend and I submerged in the well water.
She and I have also been dreaming up other ideas related to the Sacred Feminine and as a first step in that dreaming we want to explore: what is happening in the world related to the Sacred Feminine? Who do you know that is doing this work, and what are they doing to help individuals and collectives reclaim the feminine principle? What are you doing to bring these practices, knowledge, and perspectives back into the world? Tell us! Please share projects and ideas you have seen, or that you are a part of, in this survey: https://www.sacredfeminineportal.com/mapping-the-divine
We hope to see you in September, and if not, in October! As a reminder, those of you who have already joined an in-person gathering are already in contact with each other through an email list where we can communicate and share resources directly with each other. (If you joined in person and for some reason are not on that email list, please first check your spam, and if the email is not there, please reach out and I can add you directly) Anyone who joins in person for a future gathering and wants to be added to that direct communication email list will be invited to do so.
Until Next Time,
Daniela, on behalf of the Sacred Feminine Portal
