Maidens of Gaia

Maidens of Gaia Empowering and nurturing circle offerings for women and girls. Includes mother and daughter circles, and women's sacred circle

Maidens of Gaia is a community of women and their daughters. Heart-full women supporting to each other within the ancient container of sacred circle. A nurturing and positive space to experience connection, belonging and deep nourishment. Current programs:
The Budding Heroine’s circle is a group for mothers and daughters from 8 - 10 years. Heroine's will offer mothers and their daughters an inspir

ing and nourishing opportunity to explore real life heroines through conscious storytelling of herstory, craft and guided visualisations. The Blossoming Maidens circle is for Mothers and daughters (11-13 years). A coming of age circle with the intention to prepare girls for adolescence. Exploring relevant themes to cultivate understanding and acceptance of self. Red Tent Women's circle - Sacred Feminine Meditations is a new series of circles for 2021. A circle for women to drop into sacred space for themselves, to reflect on being woman and replenish the spirit. About the Facilitator

Are you also launching young people into the world? It’s sometimes harder than we expect. Often these young adults are still finding themselves and developing life skills facing adult hurdles for the first time. Parents and their village are a crucial part of the success of this transition stage, still very much needed, just in a new way, to help them fly.

I have been running mother and daughter circles for several years now and the benefit to the girls has been tangible and real. Having just parented through this bumpy stage myself I have been inspired to adapt the concept of female role models as Heroines to guide discussion and reflection so as to cultivate a deep sense of self and confidence moving forward in a supported way.

Do any of the following call to you?
🌿meaningful time with your older daughter
🌿being a part of a safe space and supportive community
🌿 a way to reconnect with your young person
🌿empowered confident daughters

Yes? Then this is your invitation to join us for a series of tailored workshops where we share our lived experience and wisdom. We draw on strengths and stories of real women - HERstory- to inspire and express ideas. Open to mothers with their daughters (neurodiverse and LGBTQI+ friendly space)

Budding Heroines this Sunday for session 2. These are stand alone sessions so if you would like to jump in - you can!
one of the benefits is the spark of deeper conversations about important developmental social and emotional skills. another way to bring this into your home is with movies. Yep, watching certain movies and discussing how a character, demonstrates empathy, perseverance, grit or resilience, standing up for others and more. check out this article for more on this and some movies to look out for.

Movies are not just entertainment. When characters connect at deep psychological levels, movies can quite literally shape young people’s lives!

After a year of inner focus I am called to bring back Heroines club!
During the school holidays I watched the movie ‘young woman and the sea” with my kids. It is a biographical story of the first woman to swim the English Channel and was deeply moved and inspired. Stories such as this are essential especially now.
Heroines is for mothers and their daughters aged 8-11.
I’m not sure how many people will see this post given how FB has changed in 2 years? Sharing with trust that it finds the ones who need it 🌿

Surround yourself with strong women, women more beautiful than you, smarter than you, and don't envy them, admire them.

Surround yourself with good women who know how to listen, who know how to care, from whom you learn to relate to the world, women who teach you their power.

Surround yourself with women to weave an invisible web, a web for other women, so you don't let them fall, so they feel the collective hug, so they don't feel alone or crazy.

Surround yourself with women who embrace their shadow, who don't apologize for being light, who are aware of their beauty and that they are alive.

Surround yourself with irreverent and brave women, women fighters who open the way and tear down walls, women of reference, women who do not ask for permission, who build their homes with the same hands, with which they cradle and caress.

Surround yourself with women who help you live as you are, who give you confidence and affection, who remind you that they are all one."
