Monthly Women’s Circle with Emma: Honoring Our Grandmothers
This event has been cancelled. Our next women’s circles will be March 1 & March 29. Reach out to Emma directly at (973) 255-9527 for more information — or stay tuned to the As We Wake website for more!
Recently, my grandfather told me that my grandmother used to host regular “Consciousness Raising Groups” of women in the living room of their home.
These groups spoke to a necessity of their time: feminism. My grandmother — a distinguished English professor, published author, fiery feminist, and beloved mother — held them proudly. Every month or so, she gathered the women (no husbands or sons allowed!) so they could share ideas, hope, frustration, and laughter surrounding the vital matter of their collective empowerment.
You’ll imagine my half-surprise in learning this piece of family lore… About 6 months after I started my own women’s circle here in San Diego. My inspiration — pulled from thin air and, evidently, something bone deep — is clear: gather the women. Heal together. Let the medicine of sisterhood heal.
Since last August, we have been gathering each month in the living room of my La Jolla home, answering our natural inspiration. Each month, we explore a different theme and sequence of activities, occasionally joined by other facilitators.
Will you join us this time? This Saturday afternoon, February 1, around the New Moon. 🌹
We will be connecting with the spirit of our grandmothers, both living and living in our hearts. We will give thanks for the goodness inherited from them — and consider with humility what of their life’s legacy we are called to change. And continue. We will call on them for guidance and strength.
Please bring photos of your grandmothers (or women who have been like grandmothers to you) and any sentimental or sacred items that remind you of them (like their favorite flowers or colors, perhaps). We will place these items on our central altar. Bring, also, a journal and pen.
When you bring a friend who is new to the circle, you can both come for just $15 each. Just use the discount code SISTER at checkout.
I feel honored and overjoyed to continue these circles each month in La Jolla! All feminine-identifying beings are always welcome.
If you can’t make it this time, but you’re curious or would like information about future gatherings, send me a message via WhatsApp at +1 (973) 255-9527. I’d love to meet you and hear what you’d like to experience in circle. ❤️
With love, Emma McTague
Emote: As We Wake Retreat in Hawaii
Join us in the lush Hawaiian tropics for a 6 night retreat called ‘EMOTE’, diving into theoretical and embodied exploration of a different core emotion each day. With great friends, daily yoga, meals provided, and an incredible retreat destination we are bound to have an unforgettable experience!
Heart Flow Dance with Claire on Thursday Nights
Heart Flow is embodied dance, combining elements of Fluentbody — a somatic movement practice — with Ecstatic Dance, improvisational dance, and yoga. Claire will facilitate while leaving space for free and intuitive movement and dance.
Participants are encouraged to move in their own authentic way, listen to their bodies, and meet their bodies with compassion. Connection to self and others is woven throughout the journey. 💃🔥🕺🌟
What To Expect:
The 75 minute long session begins with an opening circle check-in, which is followed by short meditation that sets the intention for the journey. We then invite gentle movement, and gradually transition into more high energy movement (shaking and stomping) and dancing, which is balanced with slower songs that encourage participants to more deeply connect with their bodies.
Throughout the journey, participants may be invited to move and dance with others, channel their imagination and creativity, and tap into their unique voice and expression. The session ends with integration and meditation, lying down, and a closing circle. We move for 45-50 minutes.
⭐ There is no experience necessary, and all ages and abilities are welcome; participants are encouraged to modify when necessary.
What To Bring:
Open mind and heart
Water bottle
Layers (we are dancing outside)
Optional — journal and pen/pencil
Suggested Donation: $20
