There are seasons in life when we feel disconnected from ourselves.
We become so focused on caring for others, meeting expectations, carrying responsibilities, and keeping up with the pace of life that we lose touch with the quieter parts of ourselves.
Maybe your body is changing. Your relationships are shifting. Your children need you differently than they once did. Or perhaps nothing dramatic has changed at all — you simply know something inside you is asking for your attention.
The Women’s Circle Journey was created for that season.
Not to help you become someone new, but to create space to hear yourself again, build a more loving relationship with who you already are, and grow alongside women who are doing the same.
This isn't about finding yourself. It's about creating the space to hear yourself again.
Why a 12-Week Journey?
Some journeys cannot be rushed.
Building trust with yourself takes awareness, practice, compassion, courage, and time. Building trust with a group of women takes time too.
This is why the Women’s Circle Journey is a closed 12-week online cohort. The same women gather each week on Zoom, allowing genuine connection, familiarity, honesty, and support to deepen over the season.
You aren’t dropping into twelve separate workshops. You’re moving through one meaningful journey together.
This Journey May Be for You If…
- life looks full on the outside, but something inside you feels unsettled;
- you spend so much time caring for other people that you’re not always sure what you need anymore;
- you feel disconnected from your body, intuition, confidence, or sense of self;
- you’re navigating a season of change and want tools to support yourself through it;
- you often feel overwhelmed, activated, or exhausted;
- you want deeper, more honest connection with other women;
- you’re tired of collecting more advice and want to practise a different way of living;
- you want more peace, purpose, confidence, authenticity, courage, and grace in everyday life.
You do not need to be “good at” sharing. You do not need to arrive confident, healed, or certain. You simply need a willingness to show up as you are.
The Four Chapters
One — Awareness
Returning to yourself. We slow down enough to notice your current relationship with yourself, the patterns shaping your days, what your body and inner state are communicating, and where you may have become disconnected from your own voice.
Two — Compassion
Becoming a safer place for yourself. We explore self-talk, the inner critic, needs, rest, forgiveness, and what it means to care for yourself without abandoning growth or accountability.
Three — Courage
Choosing yourself with love. We explore self-trust, boundaries, truth, intuition, compassionate discipline, and the courage to make choices that honour who you truly are.
Four — Integration
Living what you know. We bring the work into relationships, purpose, daily habits, decisions, and the ordinary moments where a new relationship with yourself becomes a new way of living.
What Each Week Feels Like
Each gathering is intentionally created around the week’s theme and follows a familiar rhythm so the space can feel grounded and safe.
- Welcome and connection
- A short grounding or meditation
- Teaching and meaningful conversation
- Journaling and guided reflection
- Optional group sharing
- An experiential practice such as mindfulness, visualization, breathwork, meditation, or another reflective practice
- One simple “gentle practice” to carry into the week ahead
- Closing reflection
There is no yoga practice built into the weekly Zoom sessions. The emphasis is conversation, reflection, awareness, connection, and practices that can be integrated into everyday life.
Signature Parts of the Journey
The Week One Letter
At the beginning of the journey, you’ll write a private letter to the woman you are today — how life feels, what you’re carrying, what you long for, and what you hope may shift over the next twelve weeks. You’ll seal it and return to it only at the end of the journey.
The Weekly Question
How has your relationship with yourself been this week?
Rather than measuring the week only by productivity or accomplishments, this question becomes a new lens: Did you listen to yourself? Honour a need? Set a boundary? Rest without guilt? Choose courage? Meet yourself with grace?
The Week Twelve Return
At the end of the journey, you return to the letter you wrote in Week One and meet the woman who began. The goal isn’t to discover that she became someone else. It’s to notice how the relationship she has with herself has changed.
What You May Take With You
By the end of twelve weeks, the goal is not for you to have mastered a list of personal-development concepts. It is for you to have begun living differently.
- greater awareness of your patterns and needs;
- a kinder and more honest inner relationship;
- practical ways to support and settle your nervous system;
- stronger self-trust and clearer boundaries;
- more confidence making decisions from your own values;
- a community that reminds you that you are not alone;
- a personal set of practices you can return to after the circle ends;
- greater courage and grace as you create a life that feels more like you.

Prefer a Single In-Person Evening?
Throughout the year, Shelley also hosts themed Women’s Circle Gatherings in person at Rooted Heart. These stand-alone evenings offer a beautiful way to pause, connect, and experience the heart of this work without committing to a full 12-week journey.
You may also enjoy the Authentic Woman’s Collective, our local group that gathers about once a month. It is a separate offering from the Women’s Circle Journey.
Cancellation & Commitment Policy
The Women’s Circle is a closed 12-week group experience. Your registration reserves one of a limited number of spaces for the entire journey and helps create the consistency, trust, and connection that are an important part of the group experience. For this reason, registration is for the full 12-week program rather than individual sessions.
Once the program begins, program fees are non-refundable. If you choose a payment plan, registration represents a commitment to the full program investment, and remaining scheduled payments will continue according to the agreed payment schedule.
Session recordings and missed sessions. Each Women’s Circle session will be recorded and made available to registered participants, allowing you to catch up if you are unable to attend live or revisit the teachings and practices throughout the program. Because recordings are provided, missed sessions are not eligible for refunds, credits, transfers, or private make-up sessions.
The Women’s Circle is intended to be a supportive and confidential space. By participating, you acknowledge that sessions are recorded. Participants are asked to respect the privacy of the group and not share, download, distribute, or reproduce recordings outside of the program. Recordings are intended solely for registered participants.
Cancelling before the program begins. If you need to withdraw more than 14 days before the program begins, payments made may be refunded, less a $75 administrative fee. Cancellations within 14 days of the program start date are non-refundable, as your space has been reserved and there may not be sufficient time to fill it.
If Rooted Heart needs to cancel the entire program, participants will receive a refund for the portion of the program that cannot be provided. Exceptional circumstances may be considered individually and with compassion.
Your Invitation
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you join. You don’t need to be more confident, more healed, or more certain.
You simply need to be willing to create space for yourself — and to take one loving step at a time.
Maybe this is the season you stop searching for a new version of yourself and begin listening to the woman who has been there all along.
