Embracing the Call: Women’s Circles and the Power of Community
For years now, I have felt the call to lead women’s circles. It has been in my dreams, meditations, and has become increasingly insistent through my guides. Yet, I have not always listened. Recently, however, this pull has become undeniable, and I have decided it is time to finally step into this role. While part of me feels ready, my ego still whispers fears, especially the fact that I will not be leading these circles in my native language, Spanish.
But as I have done throughout my life, I will ‘feel the fear and do it anyway.’ This is a new chapter in my spiritual journey, and although I like to think I am past caring about what others think, I know deep down, a part of me still does. It is part of the human experience.
Right now, as I write this, I am watching the stormy weather outside my window. The rain twinkles as it hits the willow tree, reflecting the sunlight trying to break through. And, like magic, there it is—a rainbow. Rainbows have always been a sign for me, a reminder that I am not alone, that everything will be okay.
The first time I received this sign was at my granddad’s funeral. It was summer in Santiago, a time when it rarely rains. My granddad loved the rain, though, and on the day of his funeral, the sky wept with us. After crying for days, as his funeral was ending, a beautiful rainbow appeared. That rainbow gave me peace and helped me process my grief. Since then, whenever I see a rainbow, I know I am being guided and supported.
This brings me back to women’s circles. My guides have been urging me to bring women together, to create a community of support. For so long, we have been told that to be ‘equal’ to men, we must act like them. We have adopted masculine energy to survive, but in doing so, we have lost touch with our feminine power—the power of creation, intuition, and nurturing.
Both men and women have masculine and feminine energies. The goal is to balance these energies, but right now, many of us are living in an over-masculinised state. This constant state of stress and pressure is leading to anxiety, burnout, and illness. We have lost touch with our intuition, with Mother Earth, with the simple joys of life. We are too busy working ‘hard’ to enjoy the life we are working so hard to create. And why does it need to be so hard?
The truth is, we have been conditioned to believe we must do everything ourselves to prove our worth. But why should we do it all alone when we can create and thrive together?
This is why I am starting these women’s circles. To foster true connections, to build a supportive community where we can be vulnerable, speak our truths, and lift each other up. I am tired of superficial conversations—who else is? What I crave are deep, meaningful exchanges with other women, where we can witness each other’s growth and offer support through life’s challenges.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to join me on this journey of connection, healing, and empowerment. Let us come together, share our wisdom, and remind ourselves that we do not have to walk this path alone.
It is time to reclaim our feminine power, embrace our intuition, and create the lives we desire with ease and flow. Let us support one another, learn from each other, and, most importantly, let us do it together.
Join me at the next women’s circle—let us start creating this new reality, together.
