Sistacircle meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month at 10am PST/1pm EST/6pm UTC.
Sistacircle is a weekly, drop-in educational support group for women survivors of male violence and/or the threat of male violence. Rooted in feminist theory, this circle is a space for reflection, learning, and resistance. Free and peer-led, it centres survivors in their own liberation. Join us!
Feminist Group Process
You are warmly invited to a circle exploring dynamics and interactions in feminist group work. We'll be sharing our thoughts on communication styles, group norms and hierarchies, handling disagreement, developing friendships and embracing personal growth.
Carrying Forward And Leaving Behind
As we mark the transition into a new year, let’s reflect on what this moment means to us without the idea of “fixing” ourselves. Let’s step back from the notion that personal transformation is a New Year’s obligation. Instead, we’ll explore presence over pressure and curiosity over control, and make space to talk about the mixed emotions that often accompany the New Year.
Questions To Consider
- Instead of resolutions, what qualities do you want more of in your life this year? (e.g., rest, courage, softness, clarity, rage, joy)
- What do you want to protect this year—within yourself, in your relationships, or in your community?
- What expectations are you interested in resisting or loosening your grip on?
Closing Exercise
For those who wish to participate, please complete the following sentences:
“This year, I give myself permission to…”
“This year, I am releasing the expectation that…”
“This year, I am not doing it alone when it comes to…”
Our circle will close with a 10 minute meditation.
