A safe space for women to feel connected with each other and to share<\/strong>\u00a0their stories and feelings. The history of women\u2019s circles has their roots from a variety native cultures. <\/strong>Many of these rituals were tied to the phases of the moon, nature, spirits, seasons, and menstruation. Nowadays, women\u2019s circle are more on the rise\u00a0<\/strong>because women want to be feel more empowered.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The evening is led by Rosa Balrak. She is as a spiritual practitioner and educated in Inca-shamanism (A healing tradition from the Inca\u2019s that connects spirituality and nature, ed). Rosa welcomes me with a smile on her face, in a building in a picturesque neighbourhood in Utrecht. Strokes of the sun give her a sparkle in her eyes. Going upstairs, red cloths are forming the circle. The smell and clouds of sage fill the room. Ready for an evening that heals and brings women back to their origin. \u201cAccording to me, the origin from woman is listening to their bodies and being connected with their own feelings. In the woman\u2019s circle they learn to take themselves seriously. Thus their inner voice leads to take their own course through life and own wisdom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t
