Sacred Sister Circles

We gather in sacred circle to remember who we are.

For women who crave sisterhood... and space to be who they truly are.

Come gather in circle, where soul-nourishing community and sacred sisterhood are fostered, where women connect, feel validated, and know that they truly belong just as they are.

Come Close, Sister

Come close, sister.
Come join us around this sacred fire.
Let’s sit in ceremony, together.
Rise, sister.
Let’s rise together

Sister, it’s your time to be seen, be heard.
To share with silence.
To share with words.
As you’re held in deep space.
In the womb of our gathered sisterhood.

Sister, it’s safe to…
Fall apart.
Rise up.
Cry, wail.
Sing, rejoice.
Be silent, be loud.
Be you.
Without apology.

Sister, see how our fire dances.
Coals shape-shift.
Souls connect.
Ritual happens.
We release shit.
Our shit, their shit.

Sister, witness our souls awakening.
Our hearts cracking open.
Our light illuminating the darkness.
Our vulnerability emerging.
Our callings becoming clearer.
Our ripple effect…

Sister, will you shine your light, your love?
To heal our hearts.
To inspire sisters who couldn’t join us.
To honor the young girls we once were and the wise women we’re becoming.
As we hold sacred space for each other, in circle.

what To expect

Most sacred sister circles follow this general format: (1) A brief centering or grounding exercise/meditation, (2) A collective review of our sacred circling agreements, (3) A reading or reflection or journeying, followed by a prompt, (4) The opening of our sacred circle, (5) Sharing, (6) The closing of our circle, (7) A releasing or intention-setting ritual accompanied by a sacred song or chant, (8) An opportunity to mingle and connect.

Each sister will receive equal time to share either with words or silence as we all hold space for her. This means that we won’t offer her advice, condolences, or even verbal encouragement. Instead, we offer her a far more precious gift: our focused presence. In this way she is truly seen, heard, and witnessed at a soul level. In-person circles will gather around a fire if outside and candles if inside. Virtual circles will gather via Zoom.

In-Person Sacred Circles

FULL Moon Circles

Free, in person

From May of 2022 through May of 2024, I’ve facilitated these circles on the day closest to the full moon when my house is empty. Weather-permitting, we’d gather around my fire pit. Otherwise we’d meet indoors.

These have been glorious, community-building circles! I’ve truly cherished them, but I’m now being called to direct my energy towards circling sisters who want to dive deeper and are committed to building sisterhood.

To stay in the loop, please subscribe to my newsletter and check out our upcoming events. Thanks!

Membership Circles

Paid, in person

Membership Circles are the newest addition to the lineup! Unlike our Sacred Sister Full Moon Circles, membership circles are only open to a small group of sisters.

Sitting in circle with the same women helps foster a deeper level of intimacy and increased vulnerability. Simply put, they are freaking beautiful!

Register to get the location of our circle

I don’t publish my address online. Please complete this short form to get my address. Time-sensitive updates are posted to our FB group.

Make sure to arrive early or on time

This is important! Our circles are sacred containers that open and close with intention, and arriving late is very disruptive to the circle’s energy.

Abide By These Important Guidelines

Do: turn off your phone.

Don’t: bring children or men, arrive intoxicated, or share my home address.

Virtual Circles

Paid, via Zoom

I currently don’t have a regular cadence for virtual circles – I hold them when enough sisters express interest or I’m feeling called – so if you don’t see one in the lineup but would love to attend, drop me a line!

Virtual circles circles are great if you can’t make the live circles, attend the live circles but want to circle more often, or prefer circling in your own space.

These circles have embodied differing formats in the past but are currently structured similarly to the in-person Sacred Sister Full Moon Circles.

Please note that these are paid circles, and you must register in advance. Thanks!

Time stood still, and I was completely at one with my sisters and the universe...
Emma Jung-Beeman
Kristi provides a safe and nurturing gathering with like-hearted women to explore, reflect, and contemplate how we are being in the world and allows everyone to feel seen and heard. A must for all women looking to create more heart-centered relationship with themselves. Highly Recommended!
Goddess Sherry
The circles offer a genuine sense of community and sisterhood. It's a safe space that welcomes the expression of my most authentic self. Every sister shows up for themselves and each other in the most supportive ways. Circles are one of the only places I feel truly seen, heard, and appreciated.
Olivia
Being part of the Sacred Sisters Membership Circle was just what I needed in my life right now. Each of us made a commitment to ourselves and each other to show up and build a community that celebrates and accepts each individual exactly as they are. After each circle I left feeling like my soul had been nourished and already looking forward to the next time we’d meet again.
Sadie Sharp
The sacred sister full moon circles as well as virtual circles that Kristi provides has given me a safe place to share with women who are supportive and kind. I look forward to each circle for grounding, sense of community and to learn a little bit more about myself and the journey I'm on. Kristi provides a unique experience that is deeply powered by love.
Diane M.
My intuition led me to sign up for a Sacred Sister Circle online with Kristi. It sounded like it would be supportive and so I signed up without a lot of thought. Two weeks later I found myself in some fresh grief and confusion the day before the circle. I couldn’t help but think about how likely the universe had my back when I had signed up two weeks earlier. I went to the circle and felt incredibly supported by Kristi’s gifted facilitation, I was grounded by the slow intentional unfolding of the circle and I left the circle with more connection to my own wisdom, and was really encouraged by the other women in the circle. Attending this circle is my new favorite form of self care!!
Anna Marie
I would highly recommend working with Kristi in any capacity. She has a beautiful way of gently leading a group with love.
Diane Rakocy
I found a sense of community, connection, belonging, and safe space that I do not find anywhere else. This is not group therapy or a support group and it's not church; it lives in its own realm and this is exactly what I was looking for!
Anonymous Sister
Her vibe was informed and wise, and I could feel her vulnerability. I feel that she’s called to be the practitioner’s teacher.

You embrace diversity. These circles are open to all women, and we welcome sisters from marginalized communities.

Sacred Circles

In 1999-2001, I entered the sacredest of circles.
In sacred Mendota Mdewakanton Dakota pipe ceremonies and inipi.
In the sacred Diné sweat lodge.
And with my sisters around candlelight, on the full moon.

In 2004 – 2011, I sat in circle again, often twice-weekly.
Spiritual healing circles, 12-step recovery circles.

In 2021, I sat in circle again.
Initiated into sacred ceremony with Mama Cacao.
Honoring her and the elders who initiated my own teachers.

In 2022, I sat in circle again.
A sacred sister full moon circle, around my fire pit.
Many moons later, the circles continue…

Never miss a circle!

Stay In The Know

I typically email sisters once a week with circling & event updates, reflections on a theme, and things like my latest blog post or guest podcast appearance. 

Sisters tell me that they truly dig these emails, so perhaps you will, too!
