Women's Circle & Reiki-Infused Sound Bath: New Moon & Samhain

Samhain is an ancient Pagan/Gaelic celebration which falls on October 31 (midway between Autumn Equinox & Winter Solstice) & honors the end of harvest time and the descent in the darker, quieter season ahead.

This is a time when it is said that the veil between the seen and unseen world is at its thinnest.

This Circle invites you to tap into the energy of the new moon (happening10/22) and the impending celebrations of Samhain so that you can set intentions for the month ahead and welcome in the magic that comes with a thinning veil & descending deeper into autumn.

There will be quiet reflective time with journaling prompts & oracle cards, facilitated prompts & invitations for group sharing, & a restorative meditation & sound bath.

*This Circle is open to those who identify as women & includes non-binary & trans folks. No one will be turned away.

The Matriarchy space is in (nestled in the same building as & , & ) in .

Words from Circle Attendees:

"The only ritual I always practice is attending Women’s Circles by Steph, of Little Scraps of Magic, LLC because these sacred nights truly align me. Despite practicing meditation for years, there was always some resistance within me preventing full surrender until I stepped into Steph’s magic. As someone who is always at women’s events and circles, I recommend every woman I know to drop into this particular circle at least once because something unexplainably transformational happens here especially. I have been to them all, and can vouch that here something touching happens. You can come with something very heavy and pour it into the circle to a safe space of understanding. You can sit down to be in stillness with yourself and amplify joy. You can sit in a circle just to be heard. We do this monthly. I can guarantee that this practice will strike some chord in you and will be transformational in some way."

What is a Women's Circle?

A Circle is a sacred space for women to intentionally gather & deepen connection to self & the collective.

Circles have been around since ancient times in many cultuers and counrties, and while modern day circles may have a different flow, you can still expect ritual & elements of ceremony to be a part of the experience. They include conversation, reflection, journaling, & meditation with a heavy emphasis on connecting to our sacred & divine feminine.

What Should I Bring?

• Yourself, with an open mind & open heart.
• A mug for tea
• A water bottle
• A notebook & pen, yoga mat, blanket (extras will be available if you forget!)
• If you wish to dress in the spirit of your inner goddess, wonderful! If you want to come cozy in your pjs or straight out of a workout or yoga class, equally as wonderful!

What is Reiki Infused Sound Bath?

“Reiki” means “life force energy” or “Universal life energy”.

Reiki is a healing energy technique that was developed in Japan in the 1920s as a means to bring energetic balance to the body. The practice is based on the ancient premise that everything is energy. It can travel across time and space, so you don't even need to be in the same proximity as someone to receive it.

I will send Reiki to everyone during the sound bath (this is considered distance Reiki since I will be directing to everyone in the room). All you have to do is set the intention to receive!

Tickets are $35 each (plus Eventbrite fees).

As your Guide & Facilitator, I create an inclusive & warm environment for those who identify as women to come together and share their experience & to reconnect with their humanness, divine connection, and truth, all without judgement.

In addition to being a Circle Facilitator, I'm a Reiki & EFT Practitioner, an Intuitive Life Coach & Spiritual Guide. My clients have said I’m like their Soul Alchemist.

I hold the deepest belief that the world heals & becomes a better place for us all when we have the opportunity to tap into our gifts, cultivate our strengths, & do what lights us up. I trust that when we are connected to our truth & inner knowing, we create a ripple effect that creates a profound impact on our Earth & the people on it.

I live in my hometown of Cleveland Heights with my 2 young boys, husband, and our dogs, Denver & Maggie.
