Mulheres em Círculo
”Quando as mulheres se reúnem e fazem um compromisso umas com as outras para estar em um círculo, com um propósito espiritual, NO SENTIDO DE UNIÃO DE SUAS ALMAS, elas estão criando um vaso de cura e transformação de si mesmas, e sendo veículo para a mudança em seu mundo.
Estes são os círculos de compaixão que podem tornar-se incubadoras de mudanças políticas, sociais e pessoais. Um círculo igualitários com um centro sagrado é um modelo mais facilmente criado por mulheres, mas é uma forma não limitada às mulheres. Círculos com um centro sagrado são o meio pelo qual uma terceira onda do feminismo, com base na igualdade espiritual e compaixão, podem provocar uma mudança evolutiva na sociedade humana, que acabaria com a violência e o terrorismo, promovendo condições para um mundo que seja seguro para as crianças e para nós mulheres.Em um mundo onde o exercício do poder é o que importa, as crianças do sexo feminino não são importantes e os meninos são ensinados a dominar uns aos outros, aprendem a prática da dominação através do ridículo, de meios físicos, de intimidação a fim de serem respeitados. São meninos que se transformarão em homens e que entenderão que o poder é um antídoto para o medo e a humilhação. Isto é como o patriarcado socializa seus meninos e homens e os torna violentos.
Um círculo de mulheres que confiam umas nas outras torna-se um santuário para as participantes, especialmente quando as mulheres são capazes de falar de experiências nas quais ela foram abusadas, humilhadas ou testemunharam algum tipo de violência. Um lugar seguro para dizer a verdade, é um espaço de cura: uma pessoa abusada emocionalmente tem uma dupla ferida: a dor do que foi feito com ela e a dor da vergonha. Na psique de cada mulher abusada ou violentada além da vergonha existe um sentimento de indignidade e rejeição. Toda vez que uma mulher adquire a coragem de falar e se mostrar segura, a confiança cresce e sua psique gradualmente se cura.
Um círculo é um lugar seguro também para expressar a esperança, as intuições, a tristeza e a raiva, que são parte de todo processo terapêutico. A intenção de estar em um círculo com um centro espiritual convida o mundo invisível do espírito ou da alma para estar no centro do círculo e no centro da psique de cada pessoa no círculo. Por meio do silêncio meditativo ou de oração silenciosa, sabedoria e paz podem entrar. Nos Círculos as mulheres podem dizer em voz alta o que passa em seus corações e mentes ao mesmo tempo que têm a capacidade de ouvir com compaixão. Círculos evocam um sentimento de irmandade e também um sentimento de estar em um espaço materno arquetípico. Reviver o arquétipo da irmã e o arquétipo da mãe é possível para a maioria das mulheres (mas não todas, porque estes não são os arquétipos ativos em algumas mulheres) para se identificar com outras mulheres. É a capacidade de sentir uma ligação empática que torna as mulheres capazes de imaginar o que seria estar em ambos os lados da divisão israelense-palestino, ou ser uma mulher sob o regime Taliban ou uma criança abandonada e vulnerável. É um ponto de vista que não vê a guerra como algo a ser vencido, mas como uma causa de morte e sofrimento para todos, inocentes, especialmente mulheres e crianças. Um soldado é ensinado a matar, que é também o que um terrorista é ensinado e estas não são lições que as mulheres querem que seus filhos aprendam.
Os círculos são os meios pelos quais as mulheres têm melhorado a situação para as mulheres. Nos Estados Unidos, o movimento começou em meados do século XIX, com um círculo de cinco amigas. Encontraram resistência por parte de autoridade masculina. Este movimento resultou no direito das mulheres ao voto, à propriedade e aos seus próprios salários. O avanço seguinte veio através do movimento de mulheres a partir da conscientização e da formação de outros grupos de mulheres que resolveram trabalhar efetivamente juntas. Elas fizeram reivindicações e romperam a resistência à mudança por meios pacíficos.
O Movimento de mulheres é uma rede invisível de amizade entre mulheres e existe graças à capacidade das mulheres de se relacionarem umas com as outras por meio da conversa e, em seguida, ter uma influência sobre os homens e as instituições.
Mulheres em círculos trazem consciência do que precisa ser mudado na sociedade.
O poder invisível dos círculos de mulheres é extraordinário: Auto-estima, realizações, desenvolvimento de talentos. Tudo isso tem a ver com o fato de que somos ouvidas e valorizadas, amadas por nós mesmas, incentivadas e apoiadas. Quando há apoio psicológico e prático para fazer uma mudança significativa, a mudança é mais provável de acontecer. Quando os outros acreditam em nós ou tem a mesma perspectiva que temos isso gera um efeito poderoso e invisível.
Em círculos, tornamo-nos modelos umas para as outras, o que a outra fez ou está fazendo torna-se possível para nós!"

Moon Lodge
For many generations First Nations women had their own lodges, societies, and ceremonies. These women are celebrating the erection of the sacred moon lodge. The moon lodge was a place where women on their moon time retreated to pray and connect with their feminine gifts of sisterhood. The grandmothers would make sure all women had this time to say prayers, rebalance, and receive inner guidance. Through the reconnection with the life blood of creation women came out renewed and ready to better fulfill their roles as aunties, sisters, mothers, and partners. It was believed that the moon lodge was a vital part of the family, community, and nation.

7) Be Supported by A Worldwide Sisterhood
We women need connection and support in a new way. It's not enough anymore to cheer one another on from the sidelines. Feminine Power is about a deeper level of standing with and for each other's personal transformations. The more women connect to be present to their own personal breakthroughs while supporting one another, the more the entire planet evolves to deeper consciousness. Be a link in the safe sisterhood of other like-minded women to share experiences, world views, and contributions. Embrace the peaceful energy and happier environments that bloom as a result of activating your Feminine Power

Circle
"A circle of women can provide a container for emergence in a way that a woman alone or even a one-to-one relationship cannot. Intimate relationships and even friendships can break or at least be greatly strained by life changes. But from the combined wisdom and energy of a small group of women who are committed to "hearing each other into speech," continuity and trust can develop that can be relied on over the long term. And witnessing each person's direct knowing of her truth, we can be empowered to live our own."

SISTERS
A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day, drinking iced tea and visiting with her mother. As they talked about life, about marriage, about the responsibilities of life and the obligations of adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glance upon her daughter.
"Don't forget your sisters,' she advised, swirling the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass. 'They'll be more important as you get older. No matter how much you love your husband, no matter how much you love the children you may have, you are still going to need sisters. Remember to go places with them now and then; do things with them.'
'Remember that 'sisters' means ALL the women. your girlfriends, your daughters, and all your other women relatives too. 'You'll need other women. Women always do.'
What a funny piece of advice!' the young woman thought. Haven't I just gotten married? Haven't I just joined the couple-world? I'm now a married woman, for goodness sake! A grownup! Surely my husband and the family we may start will be all I need to make my life worthwhile!'
But she listened to her mother. She kept contact with her sisters and made more women friends each year. As the years tumbled by, one after another, she gradually came to understand that her mother really knew what she was talking about. As time and nature work their changes and their mysteries upon a woman, sisters are the mainstays of her life.
After more than 50 years of living in this world, here is what I've learned:
Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.
BUT.........
Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are
between you. A girlfriend is never farther away than needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you....Or come in and carry you out.

Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers, Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended family: all bless our life!
The world wouldn't be the same without women, and neither would I. When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we would need each other.
