IMPORTANT: DUE TO THE CURRENT COVID-19 SITUATION, WE WILL ONLY HOLD THIS EVENT OUTDOORS AND ONLY IF THE WEATHER PERMITS. KEEP AN EYE ON THIS PAGE AND ON THE CORRESPONDING FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE FOR LAST MINUTE UPDATES. THANK YOU!
The Kinstone New Moon Women’s Circle is a Sister Circle. We follow the guidelines of the Global Sisterhood. A Sister Circle is a safe and sacred place where we can get real, share our journeys, insights, and stories. We can cultivate self-love and authentic connection. In circle we can all speak our truth and be seen and heard for who we are. All women are invited to join in our circle, especially women who desire to create supportive relationships with other women, women who are feeling overwhelmed or stressed and are looking for some rejuvenation, and women who are looking for ways to find and express the Sacred in their daily lives.
We have selected the Friday closest to the actual new moon and still in the same month as the date of our New Moon Women Circle events. The cost is included in your admission to Kinstone. Join us! Please share these events with other women who may be interested.
What to expect: In circle, we discuss the theme for the month, then join in a short group heart meditation, followed by a time for personal sharing – feelings, questions, truths, stories, poems, and more. In this space we are free to celebrate our individuality as well as our collective strength, fearlessness, nurturing, healing and gifts. Come as you are.

Envisioning thoughts from our Global Sisterhood leaders for this month:
- Envision the love of the Great Mother enveloping you.
- Envision every little girl growing up being taught that the love within her heart is the most powerful force in existence
- Imagine all girls being nurtured to know that in every way, they are whole and perfect unto themselves.
- Feel within your own body your inner little girl being encouraged and appreciated for who she is, including her wild ideas, her unique brilliance, her empathic sensitivities and any other innate gifts.
- Feel every woman on the planet aligned with her own inner knowing, trusting herself, and remembering that she is whole.
- Remember that this is the world we are creating, and it begins within us; with each one of us reclaiming our heart’s truth and having the courage to live as who we authentically are.
Intention for this Month:
- Connected with women all around the globe on this new moon, let us create the prayer and intention that entire world is transforming as all women everywhere shed the belief that we are not enough, let go of all that we’ve been told we can and cannot do, and unleash our true capacity to live empowered, free and sovereign lives.
Some questions for contemplation / inspiration for sharing this Month:
- What were you taught about women, the Goddess, the concept of the Divine Feminine or feminine power?
- As a young person, were you told that you must fit into certain roles as a woman? If so, what roles? Did your own ideas for yourself align with them?
- If you could share a truth with every child in the world that they would then take to heart and embody, what would it be?
- What would you do with your life if you could do anything, and other people’s opinions did not affect you at all?
- What activities in your life make you feel most wild, free, and connected to your primal power?

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE Monthly KINSTONE NEW MOON WOMEN’S CIRCLE Gatherings
Women have been gathering in a healing, sharing sister circle at Kinstone on the New Moon since March 2016 when the first International Women’s Day was launched. We average about 15 women at our circles. Sometimes less, sometimes more. We’ve had as few as 3 and as many as 42 show up! We host an in-person event on the Friday closest to the New Moon and still in the same month during our normal open season, May through October.
In circle, we join in a short group heart meditation, then we have a time for personal sharing – feelings, questions, truths, stories, poems, and more. In this space we are free to celebrate our individuality as well as our collective strength, fearlessness, nurturing, healing and gifts. Come as you are. The cost is included in your admission to Kinstone. Join us! Please share these events with other women who may be interested.
Kinstone has some amazing sacred spaces and we like to use them as much as possible. We typically meet in the Stargazer Circle around the fire; however, we may gather in the Great Stone Circle, Three Witnesses circle, or other outdoor sacred place at Kinstone (weather permitting). When the pandemic is no longer an issue we can meet inside our beautiful education center when the weather is not cooperative. Until then, we will cancel the event in bad weather.
