online circles

The Wheel, my online offering, includes 8 circle gatherings a year and plenty of content to help you stay connected to seasonal rhythms, review what’s been going on for you and plan ahead for the next cycle.

I run these circles via my Substack blog, Being and Moving. When you sign up and select a paid membership option (either £5 a month or £50 a year) you automatically become a member of The Wheel, and will receive posts and invitations to circles in your inbox.

Chloe is a wonderful space holder, her online circles have allowed me time to reflect and a great education in the wheel of the year. She always asks thought provoking questions and I have used the space to help me through uncertain times and big life changes.

The Wheel gives you access to:

  • an online circle every 6 weeks in line with the Celtic Wheel of the Year, a Pagan calendar of festivals that mark the four major solar events - the summer and winter solstices and spring and autumn equinoxes - and the halfway points between them - Imbolc, Bealtaine, Lughnasadh and Samhain. Circles involve brief teaching and embodied practices to harness the wonderful energy and teachings of the Celtic wheel including: movement, breathwork, meditation, journalling prompts and sharing your thoughts and experiences with a lovely, thoughtful group (circles are recorded and the recording is available for 6 weeks after)

  • co-being sessions every month or twice a month - a chance to come together for an hour to co-work or be in our own space in the (virtual) company of others

  • an in-depth post before each circle exploring the significance of that marker

  • regular seasonal writing in between circles

Online circles are at 8pm and last about 90 minutes (sessions are recorded with access available for a month afterwards). They involve brief teaching and embodied practices including gentle movement, breathwork and meditation. There’s some time to respond to journalling prompts - this always helps uncover something useful or meaningful in your life.

Finally there’s time for sharing in a (virtual) circle - speaking is always optional, you’re really welcome to have camera off and not share. Sharing is another way to witness our selves and others, reminding us that we’re never alone in our very human struggles and triumphs.

I find these circles nourishing and grounding. Even though they are online, or if I can’t attend live, I feel connected and present with the group and the themes. I appreciate hearing what’s going on for the other women present, it locates my own experience in another kind of cycle. I love the gentle and contemplative space Chloe creates. It opens up a compassionate pause in the month.

Chloe’s circle sessions have been such a wonderful companion over the past year. They helped me anchor myself into the season and provided powerful journaling prompts that have brought up invaluable insights, alongside soothing body practices to regulate my nervous system. I’m so excited to join her for the next journey around the wheel this year.
