A Shared Understanding for Our Gatherings

When you join a Rhythm of the Wheel gathering, you are stepping into a space that is intentionally created and collectively held. Sacred space is not maintained by facilitators alone — it is shaped by the presence, care, and choices of every woman in the circle. These shared agreements help protect the integrity of our gatherings and the safety of everyone within them.

The Heart of holding space

To hold space is to honor the unseen as deeply as the spoken. To sit in presences so steady and open that others feel safe to soften. It is the quiet art of witnessing without shaping, guiding without steering, and trusting the wisdom that rises when a circle breathes as one. Settle your energy. Feel the ground beneath you. Let the noise of the outer world fall away so your spot may fully arrive.

Listen as Water💧

Receive each story like a still pond…reflecting, not rippling.

Hear the emotion beneath the words.

Let silence be its own kind of blessing.

Honor as Air 💨

Allow every voice to move freely.

Hold each truth lightly, recently, without judgement or comparison.

All experiences are sacred in our circle.

Stay Open as Fire 🔥

Resist the urge to fix or explain.

Trust the spark within each person to illuminate their own path.

Offer warmth, not direction. 

Protect the Scared Container 🕯️

Guard confidentiality.

Emotional safety, and energetic integrity.

Hold the boundaries so the circle may deepen and stay whole. 

Hold with Heart and Spirit 🤍

Bring compassion, reverence, and curiosity.

Let your presence be a soft lantern…steady, warm and welcoming. 

The Essence 

To hold space is to be a keeper of stillness, a guardian of the unseen threads that bind a circle. It is less an action than a devotion. A willingness to let healing, insight, and transformation rise in their own time.
