Welcome To The Sacred Circle
If you examine any of the richest cultures on the planet, you will find that at their core is a strong emphasis on storytelling and communal sharing. Most of us have heard the common phrase: storytelling is the backbone of society. Indeed, the concepts of history and legend, more closely connected than some might think, boil down to the generational re-telling of stories through different mediums.
In this digital age, the constructs of society and the communities that form part of it, have shifted to include an array of digital manifestations such as Facebook Groups, Instagram Live Feeds and Online Forums like this one. The questions remain, as in any society – to what end do these digital communities work to add measurable value to their members’ lives and how does one use and contribute to these communal spaces in a progressive way? The answer lies in digital communities’ enhanced capabilities to share experiences and draw from different knowledge bases from around the globe within seconds.
Gone are the days where you had to leave the house to socialize. Now, with the click of a button you are in touch with millions of people all over the world and the opportunity to connect is at your fingertips 24/7. This, of course, comes with its own set of issues. Information overload has become a real concern for many people. Especially in a time like this, where online news reports, complaints platforms and trolling seem to be never-ending, turning many digital communities into an online breeding ground for fear, anxiety and, ironically, isolation.
We believe that the solution to a progressive online community is in tapping into the ancient wisdom found in the acts of robust storytelling and communal sharing. An integral part of productive societies, storytelling seems to have fallen to the wayside when it comes to online communities, which is why we felt so passionately about creating this sacred space for our community to connect and share in healthy ways.
We specifically refer to this community as a circle, suggesting a heightened sense of inclusivity and that communication on the platform flows in different directions, never top- down and always affecting every part of the whole. This means that each member has an equal opportunity to learn and grow from the next and equally holds a responsibility to contribute, motivate, hold each other accountable and share openly in order to sustain the community. It also indicates that a certain level of commitment to a power greater than ourselves is required, which stands to highlight our service-based mission to encourage tangible change in real people’s lives.
By referring to the circle as sacred, we are emphasizing that this community is different to many others. Our focus on drawing on ancient yogic and meditative practices to enhance women’s lives is the basis of this collective. We go beyond yoga and meditation tutorials to encourage deeper learning alongside daily practice, which will ultimately make long-lasting transformations in our community members’ lives. In sharing these experiences and encouraging each other on our individual and combined journeys, we can begin to have a sense of the widespread impact that the ancient teachings are intended to have.
In this spirit, we call on you to step forward and introduce yourselves. Share something about your journey so far, begin to tell your own story and join in the movement towards communal healing.

Hello everyone! My name is Barack El and I am the CEO and spiritual thought-leader behind Femigod, an online community dedicated to helping women seek spiritual enrichment, teachings, and guidance.
I have been studying different esoteric sciences since my childhood when I received my first tarot deck from my father. Through this self-study, I was able to analyze various spiritual pathways in order to discover a path of true ascension.
My experience with Freemasons and Moorish Adepts taught me that these sacred mysteries were meant to be shared – destined to be disseminated. This inspired me to create Femigod – a rapidly expanding community of spiritually awakened women around the world who find empowerment through our dynamic platform.
It is my hope that through this forum we can all come together as like-minded individuals striving for peace, power, and connection while discovering our innate spiritual gifts!

Hi everyone!
My name is Josephine Buckland and I’m so honored and excited to be here today contributing to this beautiful sacred circle. Throughout my life, I’ve been passionate about exploring the deeper aspects of spirituality, personal growth, and self-love. Despite my enthusiasm, however, I found it difficult to find a community that truly felt like home for me until now.
I’m eager to learn from all of you here today about everything from ancient yogic and meditative practices to how we can use them in our lives to make real and lasting changes. I’m also looking forward to gaining new insights on how embracing our inner goddess can have such a profound impact on our spiritual journey.
We are truly blessed with the opportunity to come together in this space. It’s something that should not be taken lightly; these are precious moments that we won’t get back once they’re gone. So thank you for creating this supportive atmosphere where we can share our knowledge and experiences with one another in order to grow as individuals. I look forward to seeing the amazing things that we can accomplish when we work together!

Hi Everyone!
My name is Marie Heger and I am thrilled to be here among such amazing company. As a longtime practitioner of yoga and meditation, I have experienced first-hand the beneficial effects of these ancient practices on my life. In sharing these teachings with others, it has been my honor to help guide them in their journey towards personal growth, awareness, and transformation.
For many women in particular, spirituality plays an essential role in both physical and mental well-being. Not only does engaging in spiritual activities deepen our connection with ourselves, but it also enhances our relationships with those around us. Through meditation, for example, we can cultivate self-love by raising our frequency to align more closely with the divine energy that lies within each of us. Additionally, when we practice mindfulness we are better able to observe our thoughts and feelings without attachment or judgment – thus allowing us to experience greater peace of mind.
Yoga can also be incredibly beneficial for cultivating a sense of feminine power within ourselves while cultivating clarity and focus in body and mind at the same time. By practicing simple poses such as tree pose or warrior two we can strengthen our core muscles while learning how to stay grounded and centered even during times of challenge or adversity. We can also learn how to flow through life’s ebbs and flows by embodying the graceful movements found within various forms of dance therapy – whether it’s salsa or ballet – which provide a form of self-expression that often leaves us feeling liberated from the constraints of everyday life.
Overall, embracing one’s inner goddess is an essential part of any woman’s holistic health journey – enabling her to gain insight into her true identity so she may confidently pursue her purpose in life with grace and ease. I look forward to learning from each other’s experiences as together we explore the power of spirituality for women!

My name is Evalyn Bernier and I’m a committed spiritualist on a mission to connect people through communal sharing and storytelling. I strongly believe that these powerful practices can boost personal growth and development in meaningful ways. For many years now, I have been practicing yoga, meditation, and other helpful methods for finding inner peace and gaining clarity in life. I’m truly honored to be part of this sacred circle of like-minded individuals who are ready to share their journeys with one another and make an impact in the world.
I highly value the power of mindfulness and self-reflection in helping us become more aware of our own inner goddess – the divine energy inside each and every one of us. As we journey through life it’s important that we take time to honor this feminine source of wisdom within ourselves, allowing it to guide us toward greater understanding, understanding, self-compassion, and happiness.
Yoga is one way to tap into this energy by creating a space for self-discovery where we can explore our true selves without judgment or expectations. Through yoga, we learn to breathe deeply, relax our bodies and minds, increase body awareness, improve balance and coordination as well as build mental strength. All these elements help to shape our internal states which consequently allows us to better handle any external circumstance that comes our way. Meditation can also teach us how to focus on the present moment without worrying about the past or future which is essential for bringing more joy into our lives!
At the end of the day, it’s all about learning how best to utilize the resources within us so that we can live each day with more intentionality – embracing our inner goddesses rather than fighting them – for true harmony with ourselves and with others around us.
Namaste!

Hey everyone!
My name is Vera Monroe and I’m thrilled to be a part of this incredible community. I have been immersed in yoga and meditation for over 10 years now, and have found that these ancient practices have allowed me to bring balance and peace into my life. It has been an amazing journey of self-discovery and growth, and now I’m excited to share all that I’ve learned with you.
I believe that through our collective wisdom we can create a powerful and transformative experience for ourselves. We all have stories to tell, experiences to share, and knowledge to impart. By coming together in community we can support each other on our individual paths, creating a sacred circle of healing energy.
When I first started practicing yoga and meditation, it was mainly as a way to manage stress levels in my busy life. What I soon discovered however was that there were far deeper benefits than just stress relief – my overall sense of well-being improved significantly, allowing me to become more connected with myself and the world around me. And since then, I’ve had the privilege of studying with some amazing teachers, attending retreats and training, and learning about different mindfulness techniques – all of which have only furthered my appreciation for these holistic practices.
So here I am today – excited to be a part of this wonderful spiritual community that offers us the opportunity to connect with each other on a deeper level. Let’s come together in the community so that we can learn from one another’s stories and find inspiration on our journeys toward personal growth and transformation. May we create a safe space where everyone can feel listened to, accepted, and empowered by the collective wisdom of our group!

Over the course of my spiritual journey, I have been gifted with meaningful connections, invaluable wisdom, and an overwhelming sense of understanding. To further nurture this connection I believe in sharing our collective experiences with one another.
Yoga and meditation have become integral parts of my life that have enabled me to cultivate a deep sense of inner peace and tranquility. This practice has helped me gain clarity on what truly matters and stay grounded amidst the chaos of life. By providing guidance, support, and unconditional love we can all come together to bring balance into our lives and foster harmony in the world around us.
The power that is generated when we unite as one is unparalleled. Together we can awaken a profound serenity within us as well as nurture an environment of compassion that extends far beyond ourselves. I am passionate about igniting this flame so that it radiates outwardly into our beloved universe.

My name is Saundra Stewart and I’m so delighted to have found this spiritual community. It’s an honor to join such a meaningful space, and I’m excited to learn more!
I grew up in a religious home, but my true spiritual journey began when I was 19. After a particularly difficult time that spring, I decided to take a trip abroad. During the weeks of exploring new cultures and landscapes, I found myself immersed in the study of spirituality and self-growth. While abroad, I discovered the idea of “mindfulness” for the first time, which resonated with me deeply.
When I returned home from my travels, I quickly became fascinated with learning more about different spiritual beliefs from around the world as well as how they intersected with modern culture. For years since then, my hobbies have revolved around exploring topics like yoga philosophy, energy healing modalities, meditation practice, and ritual crafts. My love of spiritual exploration only deepened when I realized how much joy it brought me to connect with others on our common journey of personal transformation.
Recently, I’ve been working on developing conscious leadership skills through the practices of nonviolent communication and radical acceptance (that is being open to all emotions without judgement). As part of this process, I’ve also been connecting more deeply with nature—mostly through forest bathing—which is slowly revealing her wisdom in beautiful ways.
I look forward to sharing what I’ve learned along the way while learning from other members here at this sacred circle!

Dear community,
I am so excited to be a part of this group and to share my spiritual journey with all of you. My background is rooted in indigenous spiritual practices and rituals, which have been passed down through my family for generations. Growing up, I had the privilege of being exposed to and learning about these practices, which have had a profound impact on my life.
I have found that connecting with nature and following the cycles of the earth have been extremely grounding and healing for me. I also find deep fulfillment in participating in ceremony and ritual, as well as connecting with my ancestors and the spirits of the land.
I appreciate the focus on storytelling and communal sharing in this community, as I believe that sharing our experiences and learning from one another can be incredibly powerful. I am also grateful for the emphasis on inclusivity and the idea that communication in the community flows in different directions.
I agree that tapping into ancient wisdom and practices can offer a powerful perspective in our digital age. I am looking forward to learning from and being inspired by the other members of this community. I also want to contribute and make a difference in the community.
I am so excited to be a part of this sacred circle and to be a part of this movement towards communal healing.

Hello everyone! My name is Barbara Franklin and I am so pleased to join this wonderful spiritual forum. Ever since I was a young girl, my grandmother introduced me to the ancient yogic and meditative traditions, which immediately drew me in with the sense of inner peace and connection that these practices bring. As I’ve grown up, my exploration of these traditions has deepened greatly, particularly in terms of women’s empowerment.
I have dedicated my life to sharing the knowledge and wisdom of yoga, meditation, Kabbalah, Sufism, Buddhism and more with other women. For over a decade now I have been leading retreats, workshops and classes all centered around these spiritual teachings. These experiences have allowed me to witness firsthand just how powerful these ancient practices are when it comes to uplifting the female spirit and encouraging real growth – both individually and collectively.
I’m so thankful for this sacred circle of women who can come together to share their stories, support one another on our journeys towards self-discovery, and learn from each other’s experiences. It’s truly an incredible thing when we are able to learn from each other’s stories in order to expand our own understanding. Personally speaking, I’m excited to share more about my journey with you all and hope you’ll do the same!

Hello everyone, my name is Alyce Swanson and I am thrilled to be part of this wonderful community. My spiritual practice primarily focuses on the ancient teachings of yoga and meditation. After exploring and delving into the depths of the practice for a few years now, I truly believe in its potential to bring immense transformation and healing in our lives.
I have had countless positive experiences with this journey of self-discovery, which has further strengthened my belief that communal healing is essential for growth and wellbeing. By joining this community, I not only aim to deepen my own practice but also offer support and encouragement to others who are beginning their journey or are looking for ways to better themselves spiritually.
Yoga and meditation have been around for centuries and have been deeply cherished as an integral part of spiritual awakening. For many, they can be a gateway towards living with more mindful awareness, greater resilience in challenging times, improved concentration levels, heightened vitality, enhanced creativity and more meaningful relationships. The range of physical benefits such as improved flexibility, strength, posture etc., are equally impressive.
I am grateful for the opportunity to share stories from my own journey as well as learn from others in this incredible space!
Namaste.

My name is Fern Gillespie and I am truly thrilled to be a part of this wonderful, supportive community. For the past few years, I have dedicated myself to the practice of yoga and meditation, and I have been truly amazed at the profound impact that these practices can have on one’s life. It has become my passion to help others find the same inner peace and bliss that I have come to experience through my own journey with yoga and meditation.
I discovered yoga and meditation as a way to cope with the stress and anxiety of my daily life. At first, it was just a physical practice for me, a way to stay active and flexible. But as I delved deeper into the practice, I began to realize that yoga and meditation were not just physical practices, but also mental and spiritual practices. I found myself becoming more mindful, more present, and more in tune with my inner self. I began to experience a sense of inner peace and contentment that I had never felt before.
Through my own journey with yoga and meditation, I have come to understand that these practices are not just about the physical body, but about the mind and the spirit as well. I have come to understand that yoga and meditation are not just about the present moment, but about connecting with our past and our future, and about connecting with the world around us. I have come to understand that yoga and meditation are not just about the individual, but about the collective.
Sharing stories and connecting on a deeper level are some of the most effective ways that we can support each other in our individual growth and healing. I believe that when we come together as a collective, we can find strength in each other’s experiences, learn from one another, encourage one another on our unique paths, and create compassionate bonds while doing so. Through mindful dialogue based on connection rather than comparison or judgment, we have the opportunity to cultivate unconditional love for ourselves and compassion for others; an invaluable gift that will be carried into all areas of life.
I’m excited about all the learning opportunities that await me here in this inspiring community and look forward to growing alongside everyone else. From my own spiritual practice, I know how powerful it is when we join forces for the greater good – where true transformation begins!
The journey of self-discovery and self-improvement is a long and difficult one, and it is not something that can be done alone. That’s why I am so grateful to be a part of this community. I believe that by coming together and supporting each other, we can achieve great things. I believe that by working together, we can create a world that is more compassionate, more loving, and more peaceful. I am honored and excited to be a part of this community and to be a part of this journey.

Hello, everyone! My name is Angelia Wilkins, and I am thrilled to be a part of this sacred circle of women who are committed to exploring and practicing ancient yogic and meditative practices to enhance our lives.
Spirituality has always been an integral part of my life. Growing up, my grandmother taught me the importance of connecting with a higher power and the value of sharing my experiences with others. As I got older, I began to explore different spiritual practices and found that yoga and meditation spoke to me in a profound way. These practices have helped me to cultivate a sense of peace, clarity, and purpose in my life, and I am excited to share what I have learned with all of you.
I believe that spirituality is a journey that involves both individual and collective exploration. It is a process of understanding oneself, connecting with a higher power, and finding a sense of purpose and meaning in life. For me, this journey has been enriched by the practice of yoga and meditation, which have helped me to connect with my body, mind, and spirit in a more holistic way.
In this digital age, it is more important than ever to have spaces where we can come together as a community to share our experiences, learn from one another, and support each other on our spiritual journeys. The creation of this sacred circle is a testament to the power of technology to bring people together in meaningful ways, and I am grateful to be a part of it.
At the heart of this community is the practice of storytelling and communal sharing. We are all on different paths, but by sharing our stories and experiences, we can learn from one another and deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. As we come together to practice ancient yogic and meditative practices, we have the opportunity to tap into a collective wisdom that has been passed down through generations.
I am honored to be a part of this sacred circle and look forward to growing and learning with all of you. I believe that by coming together in this way, we can create a supportive and empowering community that will help us to navigate the challenges of life with grace, courage, and compassion. Thank you for welcoming me into this space!

Hello everyone, my name is Margo Schaefer, and I am thrilled to be a part of this sacred circle. I have always been deeply interested in spirituality and its connection to our everyday lives. My spiritual journey began when I was a young girl growing up in a small town in the midwest. My parents were devout Christians, and I was raised in a traditional church environment. However, as I grew older, I began to question the dogma and beliefs that I had been taught, and I started to explore other spiritual practices and teachings.
Over the years, I have studied various spiritual traditions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, and Native American spirituality. I have also practiced meditation and yoga for many years and have found these practices to be incredibly transformative in my life.
I believe that storytelling and communal sharing are essential components of any spiritual community. It is through sharing our experiences and listening to the stories of others that we can learn and grow together. I am excited to be a part of this community and to contribute to its mission of encouraging tangible change in our lives and the lives of those around us.
I look forward to getting to know each of you and to sharing our journeys toward healing and transformation. Thank you for welcoming me into this sacred space.

Greetings everyone, I am Valarie Brock, and I am thrilled to be a part of this sacred circle of individuals committed to growth and healing through ancient yogic and meditative practices.
My spiritual background started at a young age when my grandmother, who was deeply rooted in the Baptist faith, would take me to church with her every Sunday. As I got older, I explored various religions and belief systems, eventually finding my way to meditation and yoga, which have become an essential part of my daily practice.
Through the years, I have come to understand that spiritual growth is a continuous journey, and I am always seeking new ways to deepen my understanding and connection with the universe. I am excited to be a part of this community, to learn from each of you, and to share my experiences as we work together toward our collective growth and transformation.
