Greetings Beloved, & welcome to Synergy...
A South London based Community + Circle devoted to honouring the beauty, complexity & mystery of being Women!
Synergy Sis☥arHood aims to connect like-hearted souls through women's circles, ceremony, group outings & more. We gather in circle in-person & online to share our stories, and connect more deeply & meaningfully with self, others + the cycles of nature, both within and without!
In a world that celebrates and thrives on being busy and blinded, you are invited to step into circle space with the intention of slowing down and going within, connecting with our true self and others with curiosity, compassion and non-judgement.
The name is based on the principle of synergy, which is the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
"When the daughters of the Earth gather in unity and lift each other, their collective power transcends beyond the limits of individual potential".
SYNERGY CIRCLE is a collaborative process, we co-create the space, our container together.
Synergy Sis☥arHood + Circle
There is power, healing and medicine in community, in laughing and crying together, in celebrating and holding one another, in seeing ourselves through others and allowing ourselves to be seen truly how we are, accepting & honouring the complexity of 'being human!'
I believe that everyone needs a devoted space in which we can come to witness each other & share our stories; what's on our minds and in our hearts, without the need for a mask, nor judgement or the need to 'perform' in any particular way.
A space where we can be held, nourished, encouraged, celebrated and supported. Where we can drop our armour, lay down our weapons and connect deeply with self & others.
This is an invitation to come and experience the richness, & transformational power , often referred to as...
'The Magic of Circle'.
I believe this magic is SYNERGY!
We all have a story to tell, ones of joy, sorrow, challenge, triumph, love, heartbreak, gratitude and adventure, things we have learned, and things we still are yet to know, there is wisdom to be woven from giving voice to our inner worlds.
☥ALL OF YOU IS WELCOME HERE ☥
In Circle, you are invited to come as you are, there is no need to wear a mask, nor is there a need to perform.
We gather together to share our stories, experiences, inspiring words, or poetry as we witness each other's raw beauty.
We weave wisdom with our words; and find the synergistic silk thread that connects us all.
OUR
BELIEFS
As collective are yearning for places where we can gather & connect with each other in an ancient way with intention and meaning
There is something potent, transformational and healing that comes from sharing our stories, ideas & emotions with others
That there is a collective need for ritual spaces, where we can honour our own & Nature's rhythms, honour rites of passage & (re)connect with our Ancestral Lineages
In inclusivity, that everyone regardless or race, culture or financial position should have access to these spaces
That we are all Living Manuals full of wisdom to share, we gather in circle to keep the leader in every chair!

Hold your Own Circle
We will facilitate and guide you in running your own Women's Circle.
Gathering together around a fire or flame in Circle is an Ancient Practice that has been preserved by Native & Indigenous Cultures all throughout the world, from Native American Indians, through Africa to Ancient Celtic traditions.
There is power when women gather, and there is magic when we share our inner world into the safety of the container that is The Circle.
Circle gathering is an ancient practice
that can unite us all!

WHAT TO EXPECT?
Circle will often begin with a welcome & invitation to introduce yourself, we will go over circle guidelines and establish any personal ones. Then we will move into a meditation or some inspiring/thought provoking words, from poetry, story or myth. We will then open for sharing and this is where the magic & mystery unfolds as we step out of our own way & give space to own voices (or our silence!) One of the beautiful things about circle process, is that it is an invitation into the unknown! We might do some journalling, guided or intuitive movement or just dance. Maybe we will sit still! There is no right or wrong way to be in circle, we welcome all forms of your expression. You are in no way required to come and share, you are welcome to come, hold compassionate space and be witness to others, while feeling held in its container also.
It is our mission to create devotional spaces for getting together & rekindling the practices of our ancestors in the past.
It is our mission to hold circle for those who feel isolated (even if surrounded by others!) or wish to challenge the idea that 'isolation is safer'!
It is our mission to support those who are called to reconnect to the Cycles of Nature & the cycles within
To advocate for the cultivation of circle spaces that are trauma informed & actively seek to protect the wellbeing of all who attend
At the SYNERGY Sis☥ar's, we are aligned with the mission of our Mentor Gemma Brady; Founder of Sister Stories.
THE
MISSION
I am tempted to think that when the focus of every day living displaces ritual in a given society, social decay begins to work from the inside out. The fading & disappearance of ritual in modern culture is, from the viewpoint of the Dagra, expressed in several ways: the weakening of the link with the spirit world, and general alimentation of people from themselves and others. In a context like this there are no elders to help anyone remember through initiation of his or her place in the community.
