The guidance provided does not require any prior experience, including Journaling. Each woman is accepted as she is, can pass rather than share in the Circle, and does not need to Journal if she chooses not to. Come and feel welcomed in a safe space.

So, what does it look like: How do we begin? You just arrive, have a cuppa, “land”, turn up as you are…received without judgement…bring your journal (or buy one here). Then we go into the Circle…

These Circles have been held for centuries in many forms as women held space for each other to support, to feel safe, to be listened to as part of the wise woman web of woman folk, “Womancraft” and Sisterhood.

What is Circle? We begin by sitting in a Circle on comfy cushions or chairs with a beautiful centre piece of candle lit radiance and listen as each woman speaks, one at a time, no interrupting…no advice giving…no fixing…how does that sound? Spacious yet with form because each woman is valued. Thus, we take turns with an approximate amount of time so we can all be heard.

It is time for you to be heard by other women as you share, sometimes from a deep space, sometimes just how life is at the moment.

A time of listening to your heart and other women, of sharing and receiving.

In our Circle we hear each other, we may not always agree and that’s OK because we are real! Eye to eye, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, womb to womb.

Each month in Wise Woman Within You Wisdom Circles we focus on the 5 Elemental Archetypes and her corresponding aspects. These Archetypes of Wise Woman, Amazon, Goddess, Alchemist and Earth Mother offer guidance for us to guide ourselves, trusting our knowing…yes, it’s a practice.

Following a guided meditation we share woman, by woman-or pass as you feel to. After this we begin the inquiry of questions, with silence we individually journal, following the thread deep within.

The next part of the circle is for us to share within this respectful and caring space, often hearing more of our own message from the unfolding which occurs from that which we have written. We finish with a closing ceremony which brings joy and more connection to those present.

We often have laughter, tears and always connection.

Join us on Wednesday mornings and evenings once a month here at The Farm for Wellbeing for Wise Woman Within You Wisdom Circles. From the depth of our dreaming our visions & ideas do emerge…the seeds are germinating, sprouting…We allow them to grow and flourish…How do they do this? We watch, listen and observe the flow of the wise woman way…step by step…as we flow with the Lunar Cycle and our inner guidance supported by the Elemental Archetypes and their enriching aspects. With our inward awareness we ponder questions to honour these seeds of inspiration and our flow in life or perhaps you feel stuck…this too we will explore…all is welcome.

Support, continuity, connection, flow…

About me:I have been doing menswork regularly for the last 10 years or so. It brings me great joy to sit in circle with other men and feel a deep sense of belonging. I went to my first men’s circle at age 15 with my father and my brother. I’m so grateful to my father for offering me that experience. I have a 19 year old son and I’ve been taking him to various age-appropriate men’s circles since he was about 12. For the last 5 years I have been giving back to the community by facilitating menswork events as part of several organisations including Brazen Brotherhood, Southern Mens Gathering and Good Better Best Men. I also co-facilitate a closed men’s circle in Mylor. I look forward to sitting in circle with you.Brett Aylen (AKA Tailen)

Live Meditation, Light Language & Sound Transmission
2026-01-31 13:00 - 17:30
You are warmly invited into Live Meditation, Light Language & Sound Transmission, an immersive meditation and sound transmission guided by Ama Joy.
This offering weaves together meditation, intuitive sound, and light language to create a space of deep remembrance, relaxation, and reconnection. Through voice, frequency, and presence, the transmission supports nervous system regulation, heart opening, and a return to inner stillness and clarity.
Each gathering unfolds intuitively in the moment, guided by what the group field is ready to receive – including activations, clearings, energy support, etc. Participants often experience a sense of peace, insight, emotional release, and renewed connection with their own inner wisdom.
Live Meditation, Light Language & Sound Transmission is an invitation to gently awaken and activate your innate light language through sound, presence, and embodied awareness.
Light language is a natural, intuitive form of expression that moves beyond the thinking mind. It speaks directly through frequency, tone, rhythm, and vibration, allowing energy to move, clear, and realign at subtle and cellular levels. This workshop is designed to help you feel safe, supported, and confident in opening this aspect of your voice and being.
Together, we will move through a guided journey that includes meditation, sound, vocal toning, light language transmissions/activations, and practices that support trust, flow, and self-expression. The space is held in a grounded and heart-centred way, allowing each person’s experience to unfold organically and in their own timing.
You will be gently guided to:

Connect with your inner voice, activate your channel and expand your energetic field
Open pathways for intuitive sound and light language to emerge
Release self-judgement and soften resistance around expression
Experience the healing and activating power of voice and vibration
Strengthen trust in what naturally moves through you

Live Meditation, Light Language & Sound Transmission will assist you to remember what is already within you and allowing it to move freely, without force or expectation.
No prior experience with light language or sound is needed. All voices, expressions, and levels of sensitivity are welcome. You do not need to sing. You only need a willingness to listen inwardly and explore.
This is a deeply nourishing space to reconnect with your voice, your energy, and your unique way of expressing light, a space to soften, receive, and simply be held within sound and vibration.
No prior experience is needed. Just come as you are.
As a prelude to Ama Joy’s offering, Joan Carpenter will lead a guided meditation amongst the trees before a contemplative labyrinth walk to connect with yourself and the Land and deepen your experiences of the day.

Yoga mat
Dress for the Elements on the day (bring layers)
Drink Bottle
Chairs are provided OR bring your favourite
