As a woman gathers more years, she becomes more bold, which is not the same as brave; brave is jumping in. Bold is jumping in led by angels. In age, we learn to know the difference. For certain, 'older is bolder' . . .

CLARISSA PINKOLA ESTES

Warmest of Welcomes!

Thank you for being bold in your decision to participate with other like-minded women as we travel together on this  journey of discovery.

The contribution of your energy will help enrich the experience for all, and I hope you are as excited as I am to dive in to all I have planned for our bi-monthly Magic Wise Woman gatherings.

Below you will find some tips and guidelines. Use the main navigation menu to access your Resources and Member Dashboard.

Times of Gathering

We will meet via Zoom calls on the first and third Mondays of each month from 6:00pm to 8:00pm (Arizona time). Before each gathering you will receive an email with details for joining the gathering on Zoom. If there is an unforeseen circumstance such as internet issues, the gathering will be rescheduled.

Settling In for the Gathering

Safety

  • Be in a space without distractions and interruptions.
  • Let your automatic “Jeeves” answer the phone or the doorbell.
  • Safety means inner as well as outer safety. Breathe deeply and remind yourself, “I am safe to be here.”
  • Gently tell your Inner Child you are there for her, and that she’s loved.

Soften

  • The softer and easier your body is the more you can enjoy this experience.
  • Picture and imagine letting go of your armor, both in your body and mind, and release any tension.
  • Consider the soft underbelly of your favorite animal. Allow the whole front of your body to soften as you relax that soft part.
  • Do a head-to-toe scan, freeing your body of stress and tightness.

Zoom Tips and Essentials

  • It works best to use your laptop or computer for gatherings. You can see more of the other women and be a part of the chat.
  • Please have the latest version of Zoom downloaded to your device in advance so you’re not scrambling to do this at the last minute.
  • Have a good Wi Fi connection to save disappointment during the time we have together.
  • If you are able, plan on nestling in five or ten minutes before the gathering to get organized and settled.

Resources

  • Handouts and backup information are in the Resources section of the website. They will be organized by the date of the gathering for easy access.
  • If you have resources to suggest, email them to support@themagicofbeingawisewoman.com and they’ll be considered.

Gentle Guidelines for Our Group

  1. We are here to support each other as we grow and change.
  2. Confidentiality is to be observed within the group. What goes on in the group stays in the group.
  3. When sharing something, let it be in a thoughtful, gentle way.
  4. Listen carefully to what each woman has to say. Each has a song and a story to share. Allow time for all to express their feelings and their thoughts.
  5. “Hold the space” for others. Listen with your heart. Please do not interrupt another’s thoughts. If a woman has the “talking stick,” she has the floor until she’s finished.
  6. Your sharing is important to group cohesiveness. Depending on the number of women at a meeting, there will be a limit of 5-10 minutes per participant.
  7. Be kind and courteous. We’re here to create a warm, inviting space. Let’s treat each other with respect. A journey belongs to the individual woman.
  8. We are not in this group to do therapy on each other. Be gracious and kind.
  9. Please silence your cell phone during the gathering.
  10. Any negative nattering will be subject to a $1.00 fine. (Note: no dollars have been assessed to date, but we’ve come close).
  11. If a scheduled meeting is interrupted due to weather or an internet outage, a make-up session will be arranged.

Above all, we are here to celebrate and enjoy each other as we evolve and progress on our Path and in our lives.
