Themed Open Circle (Online) – Shadow and the Inner Critic – The Parts we Hide

A Themed Circle is a small, intimate gathering of women who come together to explore a specific topic – often something many women quietly carry and rarely have space to openly share.

Each Circle focuses on one meaningful theme. These themes are chosen because they touch real-life experiences women commonly navigate, yet may not always feel safe or supported discussing elsewhere.

If you have been longing for a place where your voice matters and your experiences honoured, a Themed Circle may be exactly what you have been looking for.

Do you ever feel exhausted from the masks you wear? Does your inner critic tell you that you’re not good enough, while others see a smile that hides what’s really going on inside?

Perhaps you’re coping with physical pain or illness, putting on a brave face when all you want to do is stop and rest.

This circle is a space to drop the mask, explore your shadow side and quieten your inner gremlins. A space to let go of expectations, show up as your authentic self and feel truly seen, heard and accepted.

A chance to deepen your self understanding, feel less alone in your experiences, and grow through shared wisdom and authentic sharing.

Any woman over 18 is welcome and prior experience in a women’s circle is not necessary, nor is having attended the Woman Within Weekend.

The circle will be led by Paula Alter, a Wise Woman who will offer a warm and welcoming space to explore this theme together.

These Themed Circles are online and happen on the 3rd Wednesday of the month.

They run from 7-9pm.

There is an online Open Circle WhatsApp group that you will be added to if you would like.

There is no fee for attendance, however, donations are welcome to our Support Fund, which helps women who otherwise would not be able to attend the Woman Within offerings.

Please contact our Circle Co-Ordinator if you have any questions.
