Circles As Ancient Medicine For Modern Times with Mitlé Southey

Wild Flow with Charlotte Pointeaux

It's safe to say that sacred women's circles are making a big come back. No longer lost ancient forms of gathering in community, circles are now becoming increasingly available around the world as an opportunity to gather with shared intention, possibly to meet new friends, devote time to spiritual practice, to experience particular ceremony. Whatever happens and whoever you meet, you are sure to come home to yourself. The way of the circle offers us a very different form of connection and community in which we can come to understand ourselves and each other- and to find the magick and medicine we need at the time.

Circles are an ancient way of life, but are now being held in towns everywhere, in schools, board rooms, and online, and they have the potential to support healing and transformation of communities on many levels. I believe that when you attend your first Circle, you awaken to a new way of relating and being, and its addictive.

My first ever circle was with today's guest Mitlé Southey in 2018, when I attended her 3 day circle facilitator training, and that immersive experience changed me deeply, and revealed a deeper path forward for me personally in my own healing, as well as in my work that I do. I'm overjoyed to welcome MItlé to the podcast, and to share with you a delicious conversation about:

1. What circles are, and what may happen in a circle,
2. Our first circle experiences, and how they shaped our lives,
3. How circles are medicinal, transformative experiences that can set deep healing in motion,
4. Why receiving guidance and training in how to hold circles is an important consideration as space holders,
5. How circles are available for all people, and how the circle process can be imbued into our work, lives, and relationships,
6. The role circles can play in rites of passage processes for all people, and how Mitlé is hosting Mother-Son circles, and I am host Mother-Daughter circles particularly.
