Course Details
Are you feeling called to bring women together in deeper connection, healing and community? In a fast-paced modern world, many women are longing for spaces where they can slow down, feel supported and belong — and women’s circles offer a powerful antidote to stress, overwhelm and isolation, creating opportunities for authentic connection, shared wisdom and collective healing.
This immersive 50-hour training with Anna Brook blends the art of circle facilitation with yogic practices, breathwork, somatic and embodiment techniques, and ritual and ceremony. You’ll participate in a range of circle experiences while learning the often unseen foundations of exceptional space holding — the invisible architecture that allows a circle to feel safe, impactful and deeply nourishing.
By the close of the training you will:
- Know how to create empowering women’s circles that nourish your community — and your own sense of purpose
- Hold space with deepened confidence, rooted in ethical practice
- Carry a toolkit of rituals, techniques + practices to enhance your circles
- Be guided in trauma-informed facilitation approaches
- Understand the difference between “teaching” and “circle holding” — and move confidently between the two
- Leave with your own unique circle offering and a clear starting point
