What Really Happens in a Goddess Moon Circle
🌕 What Really Happens in a Goddess Moon Circle✨
I arrive and immediately feel it- a shift.
Before a single word is spoken, the space itself speaks. The scent of sacred smoke drifts through the air, gently cleansing the room and everyone who enters. Copal, herbs, and something ancient I can’t quite name… it softens me. Slows me. Calls me out of the outside world and into something quieter, deeper.
There is a soft elegance in the atmosphere- not performative, but intentional. Like everything has been placed with care. Each woman who walks through the door is met with warmth, with presence, with reverence. I’m greeted by a familiar, smiling face and welcomed in with whispered blessings, the smoke brushing against my skin like a prayer.
I remove my shoes, leaving behind more than just the physical weight of the day. I’m guided to a seat in the circle… a circle that already feels alive. Candlelight flickers all around, casting a golden glow that feels both grounding and otherworldly. Waiting for me is a clipboard, quietly inviting reflection, and a warm cup of tea placed gently into my hands.
There is no rush here- only presence and arrival.
At the center of the circle sits an altar- and it takes my breath away every time. The altar is very special to me and is actually one of my favorite things to see when I get there. Carefully arranged, rich with symbolism, beauty, and intention. At its heart rests a cauldron from the 1800s, carrying with it a sense of history, lineage, and something deeply ancestral. It feels as though we are not just a group of women gathering… but participants in something ancient, something remembered.
And then, Rebecca begins.
Our guide. Our anchor. A steady, intuitive presence.
She opens the space with such grace- calling in guides, ancestors, unseen support. There is a palpable shift as the room settles into stillness. Into trust. Into something sacred that cannot be rushed or replicated.
Each time I come to a Goddess Moon Circle, I am in awe. Not just of the beauty… but of what happens.
There is a quiet unraveling that takes place. Layers begin to soften. Things I didn’t even realize I was holding gently rise to the surface, asking to be seen, felt, and released. It’s not forced. It’s not overwhelming. It’s held- with such care, such precision.
Something stirs within me… and I see it in the other women too. We carry so much. So many roles, expectations, emotions, stories… and yet here, in this circle, none of that has to be performed. There is no competition. No comparison. Just women- real, open, tender, powerful… witnessing each other.
There is something deeply healing about being in a space where you don’t have to explain yourself but you can if you wanted to. Where you can simply be held, seen and heard.
Rebecca moves through the space with an intuitive knowing, gently guiding us through the energetic portals of the moon phases. There is a groundedness to her presence that allows even the most expansive, mystical moments to feel safe and embodied.
And something shifts.
Every single time.
It may be subtle. It may be profound. But it is undeniable.
Sometimes we are lucky to have special guests who play music or sing or offer something extra. We even enjoy an after social where we all are able to share bubbly and food after.
Since becoming part of the SATARA community, my life has felt more connected, more intentional, more alive. There is a thread of magic that seems to weave itself through my days- not in a fantasy sense, but in a way that feels deeply rooted in awareness, presence, and trust.
These circles are not just gatherings- they are spaces of remembrance. Of release. Of connection. Of returning to something essential within ourselves. And each time I leave, I carry a little more of that with me.
Perhaps in a little biased because I have absolutely loved the space since the moment I ever entered… I love the atmosphere and the vibe and every detail. I also have the privilege of holding my Sacred Medicine Song Circles there once a month… but I’ll write again at another time about that. ;) …it’s all so special to me.
I’ve been to many, I mean many women’s circles and believe me when I tell you how special Goddess Moon Circles are at SATARA. A place that honors your becoming and the Goddess is a place I can call a second home. 🙏💐✨
