About the Women’s Circle

Once a month. One Saturday. Just for you.

Life moves fast, and it's easy to end up at the bottom of your own to-do list. The Monthly Women's Circle is a space carved out just for women - to breathe, to be held, and to remember that rest is not a reward. It's a necessity.

Each gathering is a little different. Depending on the season and the weather, we might flow through a gentle yoga practice, sink into a sound bath, enjoy some light reiki, experience the quiet magic of cow hugging therapy, explore a crystal salt cave, walk together through nature, or bask in the warmth of red light therapy. No two circles are exactly alike - and that's part of the beauty.

This circle is for you if... You've been feeling disconnected - from yourself, from other women, from the slower pace your body is craving. You're someone who gives a lot and rarely receives. You've been waiting for permission to finally stop and just be. You don't need any experience with yoga, healing, or wellness. You don't need to have it together. You just need to show up.

What to expect: A warm, grounded space. Welcoming faces. Activities that nourish your nervous system and feed your soul. And a community of women who get it.

No experience needed. Just come as you are.

  • Open, Receive, Soften 🐄Cow Hugging Experience for Women with Rebecca & Karissa 5/30 | 11am

    Phippen Pharm - Carver, MA

    Sometimes the most healing thing is simply being held. Join us for an unforgettable cow hugging experience — a gentle, heart-opening practice that slows you down, melts away stress, and reminds you that connection comes in the most unexpected and beautiful forms.

  • June Women's Circle — Blooms, Brews & Being Friday, June 27th | 9–11am Haskell Gardens & Wild Heart Herb House | New Bedford, MA

    Come gather with us for a slow, sweet morning rooted in nature, nourishment, and the magic of being in community with incredible women.

    We'll begin our circle at the beautiful Haskell Gardens on Shawmut Ave, where we'll wander among the blooms, breathe in the season, and ground ourselves in the simple beauty of a summer morning in full flower. From there, we'll make our way to Wild Herb House for tea and connection — the perfect place to settle in, sip something warm, and let the conversation flow wherever it needs to go.

    This month's circle falls during Pride, and we're honoring that by dedicating all proceeds to the South Coast LGBTQ+ Network — a New Bedford-based nonprofit working to create a safe, joyful, and thriving LGBTQ+ community right here on the South Coast.

    This event is donation-based — pay what you can. All money collected will go directly to the Network.

    Hosted by Karissa Hilliard & Becka Guaraldi

  • July Women's Circle — Creatures, Community & a Cup of Something Good Coming in July | Taunton/Norton Area

    This month we're venturing a little further from home for a morning filled with heart, animals, and good company.

    We'll begin at Winslow Farm Animal Sanctuary in Norton — a nonprofit home to hundreds of animals who have been abandoned or neglected, including horses, llamas, alpacas, goats, peacocks, donkeys, emus, and more. It's a magical place to slow down, connect with gentle creatures, and be reminded of what it means to offer care without condition.

    From there, we'll head into downtown Taunton for a well-deserved rest at Identity Coffee Co. — a locally roasted, organic and ethically sourced coffee shop serving a breakfast and lunch menu, refreshers, smoothies, and ice cream, located inside The Center on Main. The perfect place to settle in, sip something delicious, and let the morning linger a little longer.
