Woman circle in Windisch
- Gathering: The women gather together in a circle. This might take place outdoors, in a particular sacred space, or simply in a room that’s been cleaned and decorated for the purpose.
- Opening: The ritual begins with an opening statement or prayer. This could be a traditional invocation, or it could be words that the women have written themselves, expressing their intent for the ritual.
- Sharing: Each woman takes a turn speaking, sharing a piece of text that is meaningful to her. This could be a poem, a piece of scripture, a personal story, or even a song.
- Discussion: After each woman has shared her text, there might be a discussion. This allows everyone to reflect on the words, share their thoughts, and deepen their understanding.
- Closing: The ritual concludes with a closing statement or prayer. Like the opening, this can be traditional or original, and it should encapsulate the purpose and spirit of the ritual.
- Fellowship: After the formal part of the ritual, the women might share food, engage in a common activity, or simply spend time together. This allows them to strengthen their bonds and bring the spirit of the ritual into their everyday lives.
