The Women’s Circle of Healing helps women understand and release their past and their suffering, and recognise their strengths.

Gagori Mitra

Helping her is how it reaches you

The circle works on a principle that sounds like a slogan until you are sitting in it: every woman here is committed to the healing of the others, and it is in doing that for someone else that her own moves.

You will hear things said out loud that you have only ever thought. That is usually the moment something loosens — not when you are being helped, but when you realise you were never the only one.
