Happy summer! I hope you are all enjoying this time of harvesting in all aspects of your life.

I'm recovering from surgery (such a relief!) out of town and will not be facilitating Circle again in August.

I have missed you and hope to resume in September. Will keep you posted with details.

Much love,
Habanero/Sue

Hello, Asheville Women. Unfortunately our Women's Circle is on hiatus again for July. I've got some health issues I'm working on addressing, and I'm hoping to re-emerge shortly. If you are interested in keeping in touch, please shoot me a DM or you can email thesuemt@gmail.com.

Our community has some exciting events coming up! DM me if you'd like me to share them with you.

Much love!

Happy Solstice! I wanted to share with you the Moonfire Calendar for the next several months. As you can see, our Community is more than just the Asheville Women's Circle.

Let me know if you have any questions about any of the events. Some of them are available to us remotely on Zoom, and of course, if you happen to be traveling to any of the areas where the events will be held, including Womens' Circles in other parts of the continent (there are a couple in Canada), I am happy to connect you with more information.

REMINDER: There is no Asheville Women's Circle in June. I will be sharing information about our upcoming Circles shortly.

Much love to you!
Habanero/Sue

Hello, Circle Sisters. I have a couple of announcements to share.

First, there will not be a June Circle as I’ll be celebrating the Summer Solstice with the Moonfire Community’s Summer Encampment on Long Island. Below is information about the Celebratory weekend. If you are interested or have any questions, I’m happy to answer them.

Second, I’m polling everyone to ask about our Circle day/time. I know several women have wanted to attend, but the timing didn’t work out for one reason or another. If you are interested in participating more frequently or more easily, let me know what days/times would work best for you. Note that children are welcome! Contact me for details.

Please also keep in mind, no woman has ever been turned away for lack of ability to pay.

I’m open to any feedback, comments, or questions you may have about our Circle, the Community, or the recipients of our Circle fees.

Happy Solstice!

Habanero/Sue

This showed up in my inbox, and I love it! Consider joining me in Circle on 4/15 at The Well. PM me for details.

There are many reasons why a gathering of women in a circle is powerful. A circle is a shape that is found repeatedly throughout the natural world, and it is a symbol of perfection. We recreate this perfect shape when we join a group of women to form a circle and experience each other as equals. No one is seated higher than or stands apart from others in a circle. From tribal circles to the mythical round table of King Arthur, the circle has been the shape adopted by gatherings throughout history.

The circle is acknowledged as an archetype of wholeness and integration, with the center universally understood to symbolize spirit — the source. When a group of women come together in a circle, they are united. This unity becomes even more powerful when each woman reaches out to touch a neighbor and clasp hands. This physical connection brings together thought and action, mind and body, and spirit and form. Because this shape has no beginning and no end, the agreement to connect in a circle allows energy to move from one woman to the next, rather than being dissipated into the environment.

Like a candle used to light another candle, the connection with spirit that results when one woman joins hands with another is greater than if each woman were to stand alone. Women who take part in a circle find that their power increases exponentially while with the group. Like a drop of water rippling on the surface of a pond, the waves of energy produced in a circle radiate outward in circular motion. While one woman may act like a single beacon that emanates light, a circle of women is like a satellite dish that sends out energy. There is power in numbers, and when the commitment is made by many to face one another, clasp hands, and focus on one intention, their circle emanates ripples of energy that can change the world.

Our next Circle is Tuesday September 17th at The Well at the corner of Haywood and Louisiana in West Asheville.

No woman has ever been turned away for lack of funds, so if you are interested in joining us, let me know. It would be lovely to see some new faces.

We had a lovely Circle last week! The deep sharing is one of the things I really appreciate. It took me a while to be able to do it myself, and I'm always amazed when other women are able to do so so readily. I'm looking for, and building, Community here in Asheville. Consider joining us next month (3rd Tuesday - 9/17) at 7pm at The Well in West Asheville (3 Louisiana Ave).

I'm looking forward to the next Asheville Women's Circle next Tuesday! Hoping to see you there.

There's still time to say hello to a summer Animal Ally. I'm walking with Lion this summer - "COURAGE - Ask for what you want!" My work is to try to figure out what it is I want. I've often been so clear about what I want, but I've realized I need to spend some time with Lion to discover where I'm at right now. Welcome Lion!

Tuesday July 16th, at 7pm, at The Well, 3 Louisiana Ave, West Asheville. Message me with question or for details. You can also text 631.319.0661.

I've gotten some questions about the Circle fee. Circle Facilitators do not receive any remuneration for their service - it is a service. Fees go to pay for space rentals and are pooled to donate.

Women's Ways Circles have been making donations to worthy local, national, and international causes and organizations since 1990.

Those $25 Circle Fees, or whatever the women can afford, help to empower and reprogram our sisters to think of themselves as Philanthropists able to fund causes that make a difference and help to address legacies of poverty consciousness. The world needs more empowered women, more female Philanthropists! Also, those Circle contributions go a long way and touch the lives of countless souls we’ll never meet. We’ll keep helping to ease the pain on the planet and keep raising female Philanthropists, one Circle Fee at a time. ☺
