Women's Circle with Laurie Jones

The Sunday Sessions 

Women have been gathering in circles for thousands of years, and this is my modern take on that. No awkward icebreakers, no forced sharing, and you absolutely do not need to be spiritual, know your moon sign or have ever set foot in a women’s circle before. You can come alone (lots of people do), come with a friend, talk loads, say very little, laugh, cry, have a revelation or simply enjoy two hours where nobody needs anything from you.

Each circle is centred around a different theme and combines guided conversation, reflection, journalling and simple rituals, with plenty of space to actually connect with the people around you. The intention is to create something we’re increasingly missing in modern life: real community. A place to gather regularly, have conversations that go a little deeper, meet new people, be listened to without being fixed and leave feeling lighter, more connected and a little more like yourself.

Everything shared within the circle is confidential, we listen without judgement or unsolicited advice, and sharing is always an invitation rather than an obligation. There is no right way to participate in circle. Just turn up exactly as you are and I'll take care of the rest.

I began hosting circles after a difficult period with my mental health led me to craving more community and connection. I wanted a place I could drop into on a regular basis, where I'd always feel welcome and where joy, inclusivity and beautiful surroundings were a given. I couldn't find it so I decided to create it myself - and so The Sunday Sessions were born! I think of it a little like church, without the religion: somewhere to gather, connect and feel part of something.

This is an intersectional space welcoming all women and non-binary people who feel comfortable gathering in a women-centred circle. If that feels like you then you’re so welcome here.

What do I need to bring?

Nothing! Just yourself. We provide refreshments, snacks, yoga mats, bolsters and blankets, plus all the worksheets, pens and materials you'll need for the session.

Feel free to bring extra water and extra cushions if you like. 

Coming alone? 

Lots of people do! But if you’re feeling a little nervous about walking into the room by yourself, let me know on your intake form. I’ll go out of my way to make sure you feel comfortable and welcomed from the moment you arrive.
