Red Thread Circle

 

Invitation to gather in Red Thread Circle 

Join Circle Facilitators, Johanna Rivera and Amber Samaya Gould for the experience of Red Thread Circle to hold a unique space for women who are seeking support, compassionate witness, and judgment-free space to nagivate the Covidien paradigm. This circle is a space for honoring grief, holding complexity with grace, sharing supportive ritual, engaging in Intentional Creativity, and coming together in the spirit of unity to embrace the paradoxes and challenges facing the collective. 

The alchemy of interconnection is representative of the ways we are shaped and informed by the ecological matrix and human collective in which we are deeply, inextricably embedded. These are unprecedented times where there is a deep need to embrace and give presence to the grief that comes from feeling the assault on the Divine Feminine/ the Earth Mother while we also endure a global pandemic and feel the push for a return to a 'normal' that is the very cause of so much of the harm and suffering we are witnessing.

As wise, intuitive women, this circle is a space in which we invite you to allow yourselves to feel and witness the emotions that arise from that grief: fear, disappointment, deep sadness and powerful anger. From here we can stand together and transcend polarization, othering, and disconnection, instead offering each other a space of deep listening, compassionate witness and love. 

We gather in circle because this is the medicine for our time,
We gather in circle because we need each other and the earth, and because the earth needs us to be aware of our interconnectednesss.
We gather in circle to become stronger, to remember our rootedness in love
We gather in circle to be nourished and to increase our sense of safety and holding and legitimacy.
We bring song, red thread, open, vulnerable, and authentic presence
The medicine of “I see you, I hear you, I witness you”
We embrace the alchemy of interconnectedness
To the ecological matrix that we are part of
Strong roots, strong and sacred bodies.
We bring the tenderness and kindness of women's wisdom. 

We hope this circle will offer those who attend a sense of connection, support, spaciousness to be exactly where you are free of judgment, and to release the emotional burdens you have been carrying.

This circle gathering may be in alignment for you if: 

• You feel like you are holding complexity and paradox in this COVID-19 Paradigm and wish to be supported and witnessed by other women in this regard
• Would like to be in a safe space of compassionate witness and listening that is free from polarization
• You desire to transmute any intensity and heaviness that you have been experiencing as chronic
• You are seeking to be in a healing space that includes ritual support and creativity practice focused on moving into coherence about your vaccine choice (specifically for those just now choosing to become vaccinated and feeling uncertainty or fear as you move towards receiving it)

This circle gathering may not be in alignment for you if: 

You do not feel able or willing to remain judgment-free in regards to the various complexities surrounding current COVID-19 pandemic or vaccination choice without moving into polarized positioning (from either ‘side’ of the current narratives)

This is an open space for connection and healing. We hope those of you who feel called to co-create such a healing circle space will join us!
