Are you eager to connect with other like-hearted
women
in an intentional,
inspiring, supportive,
compassionate,
and meaningful way?
Do you have gifts, skills, tools, or talents
you would like to
cultivate and share ~in
ways
that nourish and illuminate your own life and others?
Do you want to learn from other women and receive
their
healing, creative, nurturing, and beautiful
gifts of mind, body, heart, and spirit?
If you answered YES, it would be delightful to see you
at one of our FREE monthly Buffalo Sisters Gift Circles.

Let's join our loving hearts together,
enjoy the one-of-a-kind sweetness of sisterhood,
receive and be replenished, give and be inspired,
and celebrate the abundance of blessings each
woman uniquely contributes to the greater whole!
Women interested in diverse healing modalities, personal
growth tools, and/or creative and spiritual arts gather in our Bloomington, IN
home the 1st Wednesdays of each
month
from 7-10 p.m.
for one-on-one trading sessions.
The Buffalo Sisters Gift
Circle is a place for you to recognize,
claim, cultivate, and share your
own gifts (and, YES, you have
MANY of them to share!)...as well as get to fully receive the wonderfully nourishing gifts of others. The evening's layout includes opening and closing circles and four 20-minute trading sessions where you will be paired one-on-one with four other
women
(for two of these sessions you give, for two you receive).
You do not need to come regularly.
Simply join us when it flows in your journey,
and invite any other sisters you know.
Women are asked to be present for the full
duration of the circle (7-10 p.m.) when attending.
ALL adult women are warmly welcome!
Ages and interests are wonderfully varied
and add to the
richness. We do ask that women generally be 18+
years old
(please contact me first about bringing a beloved younger sister).
There is never a cost to attend~
just your open heart and presence.

Every woman (yes that includes YOU!) has
something
special
and meaningful to offer.
If you would like more info, have concerns or questions,
or feel unsure about what you could offer, please be in
touch. Women with all ranges of experience are most welcome!
Examples of Gifts Women Have Brought:
yoga
massage
energy healing
aromatherapy
communication skills
guided meditation
intuitive readings
creative projects
nutritional coaching
dance instruction
astrology
and many others!
In addition to the spirit of what is written above,
here are some additional guiding values and
principles
all participating women are asked to
uphold
during our very special time together...
We are all teachers and students of one another and
have an abundance of things to both give and receive.
Each woman is asked to bring a meaningful and intentional
contribution ("gift") designed to deeply nurture the women
with
whom she is paired. When giving, each woman is
focused on
how she can best support the other sister(s) in
the session.
These gifts are, generally, not tangible and are,
instead,
gifts of
mind, body, heart, and spirit.
When receiving, women are enthusiastically encouraged to
practice the art of receiving, opening up and allowing yourself
to be fed, nurtured, and supported in whatever ways you need.
Sometimes, we receive from someone we wouldn’t have picked
on our own. Trust this! Rather than resist it, go with it! Allow yourself to be surprised and to open to creative ways
to be
blessed by what this sister inherently does have to offer you.
We agree to see one another through the eyes and heart of compassion. When we are at the Buffalo Sisters Gift Circle,
our role is not to judge,
make assumptions, blame, or criticize. Rather, our main focus
is supporting, celebrating, and
reflecting
back the
beauty, love, and gifts in the other sisters gathered.
In doing so,
we amplify and grow these things in both ourselves
and one another, for the greater good
of all. We come together
to strengthen the spirit of togetherness, loving kindness, and
connectedness to ourselves, one another, and the planet.
What is shared is
kept
confidential, allowing the circle to
be a
safe haven of magical transformations, healing, and community.
You may see women at the circle you already know in other
communities and dynamics (ex: workplace, other groups, from
years ago). You are invited to
open
up to seeing your fellow sisters (and yourself!) in fresh and new ways every time we gather. May we allow one
another to always be changing and growing, to be the dynamic
women we are, to come together with gentle curiosity, openness,
and wonder towards each other and ourselves.

Why Buffalo?
In various traditions, buffalo
have powerful symbolism and
serve as beautiful creatures who have much to teach us about life. Buffalo remind us of the abundance and beauty present when we
recognize, honor, and give thanks for the many gifts
and blessings already all around
and within
us. We join together
at our Buffalo Sisters Gift Circle
to become
evermore
aware of, enjoy, and celebrate this amazing abundance.
