About | MedicineCollective

The Medicine Circle Collective is a collaboration between dear friends - those known and those yet to be known. Through regular gatherings, we share love, friendship, learning, connection, and the many forms of medicine that arise when women come together with intention.

We envision a world where we gather in sacred community to remember our power, rekindle our creativity, practice ceremony, and rise together with humility, joy, and embodied wisdom.

We seek to create a living, evolving community where women feel deeply seen, supported, and empowered - a place where each of us brings our unique gifts to the circle and experiences the kind of belonging that nourishes the soul.

Our mission is to create gatherings and opportunities rooted in ceremony, creativity, learning, collaboration, and community care, expanding the definition of “medicine” beyond any substances and into all the ways we heal, grow, and transform together.

We gather to:

Offer women a safe, inclusive, spiritually grounded space, without dogma
Share practices that awaken creativity, intuition, and connection
Teach and practice ancestral, ceremonial, and earth-honoring traditions
Cultivate empowerment through shared leadership and collective wisdom
Celebrate beauty, play, embodiment, and authentic expression
Serve the larger community through acts of compassion and reciprocity

Our Guiding Values:

Sacred Sisterhood & Shared Collaboration - We honor the power of women gathering. We listen, witness, uplift, and celebrate one another without hierarchy, judgment, or comparison. Everyone is invited to contribute their gifts, skills, and creativity. We rotate roles, empower emerging leaders, and cultivate humility in ourselves and each other.
Medicine as Expansive - We honor medicine in all its forms, not only substances, but the practices that awaken the heart and return us to ourselves. Art, music, beauty, movement, play, creativity, and connection are sacred medicines. Medicine is not outside of us; it is cultivated through how we engage with life, relate to ourselves and others, and integrate meaning into our everyday experience.
Inner Healer - We honor the inner healer, inner teacher, and unique lineage each woman carries. We trust that every individual has wisdom within her that can guide, restore, and transform. As we say: “you are the medicine.”
Safety, Integrity & Trust - We commit to emotional, spiritual, and relational safety. We create and uphold clear agreements, confidentiality, consent, and accountability.
Ceremony, Ritual & Earth-Honoring Practices - We root ourselves in nature’s cycles, ancestral wisdom, simple rituals & ceremony, and reverence for the elements. We create ceremony that is safe, accessible, and deeply meaningful.
Humility & Lifelong Learning - We are students of life, not experts claiming to “Know.”. We remain curious, open-hearted, and willing to revise what we think we know. Each gathering is an opportunity to grow.
Diversity & Inclusion - We welcome women of all backgrounds, identities, ages, and experiences. Our circle is strengthened by the beauty of our differences and the depth of our shared humanity.
Service & Reciprocity - We give back - to our community, to the earth, and to each other. Our gatherings are not only for personal healing but also for contributing to the collective good.
