Women have the power to change the world.
Sacred Woman Collective was founded on this principle: that women have the power to change the world, but we must first change how we treat one another.
I’m Karen, the founder of the Phoenix branch of this incredible Collective. When I arrived in the Phoenix area 2 years ago, knowing nobody, I searched for ways to connect with women. I craved connecting to a new community of women through inspirational conversation, but most of what I found were online events. Virtual events have their place - we definitely learned that during 2020 - but there is so much more that happens when you share the energy in a room together. I even tried Bumble Friends (yes, the dating app, with a ‘find friends in your area’ feature). I connected for coffee with one woman, after several flaked on actually getting together. That coffee was… awkward. It felt like a blind date for a one-on-one friendship, and we never got together again after that first coffee. The magic is in the Collective energy; in the gathering of a group of women, with all different backgrounds, interests and stories.
💓Our heartbeats actually entrain one another to beat in sync.
😮💨Our breathing starts to mirror the others near us.
🤗We have a physical & hormonal response that releases all the ‘feel good’ things we need to feel joyfully connected to each other.
I feel it when I teach a yoga class. It's like the whole room is breathing and moving together. And in women’s circles, we are given the deeper opportunity to openly share our stories in a vulnerable way while being surrounded by other women saying “I hear you, I see you, and I love and support you”.
Monthly circles, 1-day workshops & retreats that take us away for a night or longer are the spaces that hold these moments of freedom.
🫶🏻Join us if you’re in the greater Phoenix area. There are some great events in the works for 2024. Stay connected to upcoming events by watching here and social media channels.

Karen
