"This course has absolutely provided me with the confidence I needed to be able to hold space for others and to structure and organise a circle with intention and ease. It has inspired me in ways I didn't know I needed and helped me anchor deeper into my "why" for doing this work.

For anyone who is looking to run Women's Circles and dont know where to start, I couldn't recommend this course highly enough.

Its a perfect balance of sacred meets practical.

I loved every second of it!"

Why it is so important to create more spaces for women to gather!

Creating more spaces for women to gather.

Women's Circles are sacred gatherings where women come together to share, support, and inspire empowerment. A safe, inclusive space where women can connect deeply, unmask, express themselves authentically, and explore personal growth. Through practices like ritual, grounding, deep presence, and storytelling, participants foster a sense of community, healing, and sisterhood. Women's circles provide a nurturing environment for self-reflection, collective wisdom, and spiritual connection. Supporting women to live their lives fully, step out of autopilot, and take the front wheel, reclaiming their voices, embracing their strengths, and celebrating their unique journeys.

These spaces are not some new age trend, women have historically gathered in circle-like gatherings for much longer than they have not. Through the pre-recorded learning video journey we explore the rich Her(his)story of Women's Circle.  As part of this we also learn about the Witch Wound and the Sisterhood Wound.  Both wounds that have served through History to keep women small, suppressed, and divided for far too long. 

When we gather the women with clear intention, purpose and the skills of holding space well, we create potential for deep healing of the wounded sisterhood. We support the healing of the Witch Wound by creating spaces for women to reclaim their stories, their voices and to feel the love and support of the women who surround them. 

Women's Circles can be a supportive space for women to remember themselves whole. 

Re-membering that: 

Together we are stronger, 

Together we are wiser, 

Together united, 

Together we rise!

"I have actively been working with women for many years and started circle work in 2022.

Since doing this course there has been such an incredible deepening into the connection with myself and to show up authenticity and as a strong leader, unapologetically. 

In many ways, it has exceeded my expectations and also offered me a deeper awareness of how I would like circles to unfold and heal women within my community. I felt I gained a lot from all of the course!

Over 30 women have journied through the pre-corded Holding Space video learning

Scroll through and read about some of their powerful experiences:

“As someone who has been a solo energy worker, creative and ceremonialist for many years I was looking for a course for a long time that would help me gain the knowledge and wisdom to move from individual work to groups offerings. I was initially looking to fill the gaps in my own knowledge and experience but what I got out of this course was so much more.

Siobhan shows up with so much authenticity and with a decade of experience running circles you can feel the depth, power and devotion in all that she shares. The information is structured extremely well from start to finish. It is simple yet so profound and covers every inch of what you would need to know in the beginning of running your own women's circles, in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming, all while leaving space for you to make it your own.

This course has absolutely provided me with the confidence I needed to be able to hold space for others and to structure and organise a circle with intention and ease. It has inspired me in ways I didn't know I needed and helped me anchor deeper into my "why" for doing this work.

For anyone who is looking to run Women's Circles and dont know where to start, I couldn't recommend this course highly enough. Its a perfect balance of sacred meets practical. I loved every second of it!”

Haley

“I have actively been working with women for many years and started circle work in 2022 as part of my own growth and expanison and felt called to offer this to my community. I had a sense of what to do and after receiving feedback from a few of my circles I felt called to do some training.

Siobhan has managed to weave and create so much knowledge, wisdom, guidance and song into this Holding Space container. I loved all the songs, I loved that you acknowledge the custodians of the land as I have worked like this for many years and find it so important to our work, I loved the opening circle, the grounding, the tree meditation with our holy sisters. I LOVED THE HERSTORY!!

There have been many highlights for me throughout 'Holding Space' with Kindred Womancraft. What really captured my heart was Siobhan and her gentle presence, her grace and ease to guide you through how she works, yet always encouraging you to find your own way. She has so much learned wisdom to share and her gifts are many, she has an ability to make you feel welcomed and at home. Within this online course Siobhan offers you the foundations & knowledge you require to immerse yourself in circle practice as a participant or to fully show up and become a facilitator.

Since doing this course there has been such an incredible deepening into the connection with myself and to show up authenticity and as a strong leader, unapologetically.

In many ways, it has exceeded my expectations and also offered me a deeper awareness of how I would like circles to unfold and heal women within my community. I felt I gained a lot from all of the course! ”

Janey

“I signed up for holding space with a desire to create more magical spaces for women. All women deserve to feel held and loved in circle. However, I felt a huge sense of imposter syndrome before taking Siobháns course. I felt the passion and desire but fear held me back.

Since completing Holding Space, I have been running beautiful motherhood and women’s circles with incredible feedback and feel so empowered. Hearing how I have supported revillaging for women and their children, healing sisterhood wounds and providing that much-needed space to just be held, it really has set alight a fire inside for me.

I found the teachings on the practicalities of circle most helpful in holding space. Having a guide to fall back on really supported my confidence in taking the leap.

The impact of this course for both myself and the women in circle has been huge. One of the biggest things I’ve carried is the beauty in simply holding space for healed sisterhood, the grassroots of circle. Women know how to sit in circle together, it’s in our blood, learning and growing in my confidence to provide that space has been life changing.

I would absolutely recommend holding space to any woman thinking of creating a beautiful circle space, whether closed or open in the community. I believe we as women, all hold the knowledge and power to hold this space, this course can provide the key to remembrance. ”

Paige

“Holding Space has been a wonderful way to expand my foundations of holding space for women. A look back into 'herstory' of how women have gathered'; of the magic and importance of this. A beautiful guide on how to hold the container, the flow of circle and any practical considerations that might arise. Thank-you Siobhan. I can't wait to embody this knowledge. xx ”

Martyna

“Holding Space held me while I navigated and deepened my understanding of the intricacies of facilitating a Women's Circle. It has gifted me the knowledge and confidence to trust in myself to run my own community circle and step into my power.

The part on the Beauty Way or walking your prayer in the course really hit home for me. It deepened my capacity and understanding that in order to create and hold spaces for people to be vulnerable, you have to be vulnerable yourself. I learned that if I am to do this work and truly walk the way, I need to anchor myself unshakeably and deeply understand my why.

Siobhan holds the space with such integrity, wisdom and heart; her words and songs are medicine like the medicine woman that she is. Grateful for the opportunity to learn from her. Highly recommend if you are thinking of stepping into your own power within this sacred space. ”

Noni

“I was attracted to Siobhan's Holding Space after experiencing an in-person circle with Siobhan. I had attended women's circles before this, but Siobhan's circle was different. It was deeper, more connected, a container of safety that I could feel permeating into my bones, where I could be me. I knew this course would build my confidence and skills in doing exactly what the course says, holding space (and it did!)

I loved the way Siobhan breaks the steps down, talking through and explaining each process, allowing you to experience the crafting and creation of your own unique way to hold circles while being gently guided by Siobhan's knowledge.I now run women's circles, to me the opening of circle is such a vital time to create the container, creating the safety of the space so that women can let go and be themselves. Through the guidance of Siobhan's course, I was able to draw upon her teachings, while allowing my own unique circle openings to flow into the space. I now feel confident in creating containers for women, I can feel in myself, and the women in attendance of my circles that deep sense of connection, openness, and safety that I longed to create for others.

This course made me want to experience more. More women's work, more women's circles, more inner growth. It tapped into and started the re-membering process for me, as a woman to find that deep held knowledge we all have within us.

If you have been wanting to start Holding Space for women, or if you want to deepen your practice of holding women’s circles then this course is for you. The content is beautifully crafted, it's delivered with soulful wisdom, gentleness and understanding. Siobhan has created a course that builds your knowledge, confidence and wisdom through a remembering of ourselves.”

Jenn

The vision for Holding Space is for the magic and medicine of gathering women to ripple out into communities around the world. Weaving women's circle back into the fabric society.

Because in a world that often disconnects us from our true selves and each other, the need for sacred women’s circles has never been greater. This course is more than just training; it is a re-membering and call to step into your power, to heal, and to lead.

Holding Space is for the woman who is longing to remember ancient ways of coming together with honourable intention. Longing to rekindle their connection to a deeper way of living. Ritual & Ceremony. The woman ready to reclaim their authentic voice, gifts and ways of being in the world. 

Women's Circles are humble yet profound spaces that plant and nurture these seeds of remembrance. It is ancient medicine work that will work on those who lead as much as those who gather.
