Women's Circle & Workshop: Creating a Summer Solstice Hearth Space

In modern times, it is easy to forget about the sacred.

We move at a clip that asks us to strive towards the future... to work towards it and to idolize it.

But what about the present moment? And what about the past? What about those anchors... those collections of people, places, and things that keep us rooted and whole?

This Circle & Workshop (& shopping/gathering experience!) invites you to slow down & remember.

Remember to find presence.

Remember to find breath.

Remember to find beauty.

Remember to come home to yourself.

Women have been creating altars & hearth spaces for centuries. They've done it to honor important people, different seasons, & various milestones. They've done it to offer themselves a quiet place to land.

That collection of special objects on her dresser. That framed photo and candle on the mantle. These are hearth spaces. Items that invite spiritual connection & grounding. A small, sacred space in the home where you can come back to yourself.

Gather in Circle to remember the sacred.

We'll learn more abut the history of sacred hearth spaces and altars in the lives of women and how they connect to the seasons & cycles of nature and our lives.

This nurturing & inpsiring event will include quiet reflective time with journaling prompts & oracle cards, facilitated prompts & invitations for group sharing, &  complimentary with admission, each participant will select from specially sourced vintage pieces to create a unique personal hearth/altar to take home!

*This Circle is open to all who identify as women.

The Matriarchy space is in The Vitrolite (nestled in the same building as Soul Yoga & Harness Cycle, & Patron Saint) in Hingetown.

Words from Circle Attendees:

"The only ritual I always practice is attending Women’s Circles by Steph, of Little Scraps of Magic, LLC because these sacred nights truly align me. Despite practicing meditation for years, there was always some resistance within me preventing full surrender until I stepped into Steph’s magic. As someone who is always at women’s events and circles, I recommend every woman I know to drop into this particular circle at least once because something unexplainably transformational happens here especially. I have been to them all, and can vouch that here something touching happens. You can come with something very heavy and pour it into the circle to a safe space of understanding. You can sit down to be in stillness with yourself and amplify joy. You can sit in a circle just to be heard. We do this monthly. I can guarantee that this practice will strike some chord in you and will be transformational in some way."

What is a Women's Circle?

A Circle is a sacred space for women to intentionally gather & deepen connection to self & the collective.

Circles have been around since ancient times in many cultuers and counrties, and while modern day circles may have a different flow, you can still expect ritual & elements of ceremony to be a part of the experience. They include conversation, reflection, journaling, & meditation with a heavy emphasis on connecting to our sacred & divine feminine.

I trust that when we are connected to our truth & inner knowing, we create a ripple effect that creates a profound impact on our Earth & the people on it.
