What’s a RAW Talking Circle?

A new initiative in Vancouver, British Columbia for all self-identified young women in high school. Real. Awesome. Women.

Dear Amazing and Beautiful Young Woman,

You are invited to join us in a RAW Talking Circle where you can express how you really feel about things that matter to you. Growing up and being a young woman in the world is a BIG DEAL. There are so many things you feel, experience, think about, or plan. You might go through some of the best moments of your life, and some of the hardest and most confusing moments. You might feel overwhelmed at times, or perhaps not understood.

We are three caring, professional, and fun(ny) women between 30-34 years old who want to hear your voice and listen to what’s up for you. In a confidential group with your peers, we’ll explore life together honestly and openly, including us three humbly sharing some of our experiences. We can talk about anything you want (relationships, our bodies, sex, sexuality, careers, spirituality, family, etc.). All emotions are welcome. Our aim is not to tell you what’s right or wrong and instead, help guide you to feel what’s right for you. This is a place to truly be yourself, discover your personal beauty, and be loved and honoured for the powerful woman you are.

Our talking circle meets once a week in the evening for two months. Here you can share your experiences, ask personal questions, and listen to others for resonance. We’ll learn and grow together. We will also spend one Saturday in nature at a local park. Don’t worry if you’re not ‘outdoorsy’ or you’ve never been hiking before. We will have some fun and amazing experiences in nature that everyone can do.

We’d love to get to know you, so please see our Upcoming Programs for the dates of our first circle. There are numerous discounts available. You can also check out our Bios to learn more about the three of us.

Women have been gathering in circles for thousands of years to bond and share their lives, and we look forward to offering you space to speak your truth, be heard & understood, know you’re not alone. It’s empowerment though connection.

Warmly,                                                                                                                                                                                 Hayley, Heather, & Elisa

PS. Our first program is for young women 16-18 years old, but we plan to start a talking circle for 13-15 year olds in September 2015. If you’re 13-15, join our Facebook page and/or email us to be notified when you can register. Stay tuned!
