The Wild Circle
Emma Johnson
Cirencester, Gloucestershire
An invitation to come home to yourself, a soft place to land, a shelter of kindness, infused with ancient, intuitive wisdom…
THE CIRCLING YEAR
A regular monthly practice of ritual, reflection and connection.
My nurturing and nourishing in-person circles run monthly throughout the year. They are spaces that offer us a different way of being and give us space to slow down and be held in love and compassion for all that we are and all that we carry.
With a gentle invitation each session to connect the outer world with our inner landscape, circles follow a cycical flow, taking us from hibernation in the depths of winter, to the first buds of spring and Beltane, the expansion of summer, the solstice and the heady joy of Lammas, before leading us gently into autumn and the equinox, Samhain and the winter solstice.
Each session will include grounding exercises, readings, poems or music, meditation and a safe, held space to share whatever you wish to give voice to. In the winter, we will sit by the fire and drink hot tea, and in the summer, we will gather in my garden around the fire pit while the sun sets. At each session, we will reference nature and the seasonal flow of the year, reflecting on our own internal journey, connecting to nature, and each other, and marking the ritual changes in the circling year.
The space is deeply welcoming, rooted in connection, openness and compassion. You are welcome here, just as you are, and you will be met in that place.
GROUND & GATHER
I also run a series of woodland day retreats for women, throughout the year - wild woodland days offering a space to return to ourselves, remembering how we used to gather, and reconnecting with the innate wildness that is in all of us - in a way that is both simple and sacred.
