A circle has no beginning and no
end.
Its power is limitless.
We can work in a variation of the
circle whilst we sit – the spiral,
which we see in naturally
occurring in nature in the
unfurling of a fern as well as the
double helix of DNA.
We experience this spiral through
our menstrual cycle, month after
month.
Women take turns to speak
following the form of a spiral
whilst sat in circle, returning to
express the deepening of their
experience as the session
intensifies.
Once the circle is closed and we
return to our everyday lives, its
power ripples out like a stone
thrown into moonlit water.
