ONE WEEKEND. THOUSANDS OF CIRCLES. A REVOLUTION OF BELONGING.
What if, over one weekend, thousands of circles were happening across the world?
What if women everywhere, women like you, stepped forward to hold space?
Not someday. Not when you feel fully ready. But now.
We do not know what magic might be possible until we try.
It begins with each of us pledging to hold a circle. Just one. Will you join us?
One Sacred Circle is an invitation.
A quiet revolution in the shape of a circle.
For two weeks in March, I’ll walk alongside you with live planning and preparation sessions, enthusiams, inspiration, resources, and a community like no other,
And then, over one powerful weekend, women across the world will gather, listen, and begin.
Maybe in your home, by candlelight. Maybe in a woodland, under the sky. Maybe online, with voices stretching across borders.
Perhaps this will be the very first time you hold space. Or, maybe you’re a seasoned space holder who is tired of doing it alone. Perhaps you are exploring whether circle holding is something you want to do, but you don’t want to go start alone.
However you do it, you will begin.
And we won’t be doing it alone.
Circle, by circle by circle, we will co-create a weekend of space which is tender, rooted in humanity and the medicine our world so dearly needs.
COME AND BE PART OF THIS POWERFUL MOVEMENT
What is a Sacred Circle?
A circle is an ancient way of gathering- a space where we come together not to fix or solve, but to listen, witness, and be heard. It is a place of deep presence, where stories are shared, hearts are held, and something unspoken is remembered. A circle is both timeless and urgent, offering refuge in a world that moves too fast.
A circle can be secular and sacred: not tied to any one tradition, yet deeply meaningful.
Sacred means reclaiming something lost- the quiet power of gathering, the deep medicine of being truly seen.
Sacred means making space for devotion to our hearts- a place where our inner voices rise and are met with kindness.
Sacred means bowing down to the humanity we all share- to the tenderness, the truth, the rawness of being alive, together.

Step 3: The Weekend of Circles (A Collective Moment- MARCH 2025)
Over one powerful weekend, circles will be happening across the world. From 28th-30th March, Circles will be happening everywhere. Our vision is to have a circle happening in every town and village one day, and this is the beginning of that.
You will gather. You will hold space. You will begin.
And if leading a circle isn’t possible for you this time, you will still be part of this—every movement needs those who are supporting from the sidelines, so if that’s the role you feel most comfortable in, join us.
Step 4: Reflection & What Comes Next
We’ll come together for a final closing circle on 31st March—to share, witness, celebrate and honour what we created.
This is for you if:
You are a brand new space holder and you want to have support and an easy, structured place to begin, without overthinking it.
You are a seasoned space holder who wants the magic, sisterhood, inspiration and sense of solidarity that can only come with doing this work in community.
You want to play your part in a global movement, without needing to do everything alone.
You want to have support in taking action in tangible, easy to follow steps, to help beat fear, procrastination and make sure you take action with loving, gentle support.
You want to receive guidance from world-class facilitator and teacher of circle.
PRICING
WHO WILL GUIDE YOU?
One Sacred Circle is led by our Founder, Gemma Brady who has supported over 10,000 women in taking their steps to hold their first circle, as well as running the UK’s largest Circle Training academy. She began her career as award winning documentary maker, holding spaces for deeply sensitive stories on camera and worked for the BBC and Channel 4, as well as developing/directing heart-led campaigns for charities such as Cancer Research and Alzheimers Research UK.
She founded Sister Stories in 2017 as an experiment in bringing together women to tell their stories in her living room. Since then, it has grown to a movement which teaches thousands of women a year all over the globe to hold Circles.
The vision of Sister Stories is to make going to circles as common as yoga class; when we create and normalise spaces for telling the truths of our lives, something within each of us shifts. We become more compassionate, more tolerant of difference and more able to move through our lives with the kind of humanity our world is crying out for.
Circle by Circle, we make the difference. This offering is a change to kickstart that journey for you. Come and join us.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONs
IS THIS FOR ONLINE OR IN-PERSON CIRCLES?
It’s for both! We’ll provide a general framework for a circle that can be adapated whether you’re online or in-person, and also provie a few pointers for how to hold each specific space.
WHEN DO I NEED TO HOLD MY CIRCLE?
Anytime over the weekend of the 28th, 29th, 30th of March.
IS IT ONLY FOR CIRCLES IN THE UK?
Absolutely not. This is a space designed to be global, so you can hold circles in your own timezone, for your own community.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS AND YOUR CIRCLE TRAINING?
One Sacred Circle is a community process of preparing for and holding a circle at the same time as lots of other women, across the globe. We will support you with the key steps you need to plan and create your circle and some fundamental aspects of holding space, while bringing you together in community with other spaceholders for a couple of weeks in March.
Our Circle Facilitation Training is a comprehensive, deeply transformative training that offers a rich and robust grounding for holding women’s spaces, with training and support to step into running circles as your work in the world, as well as marketing and business expertise, ongoing support through our alumni community and ongoing mentorship.
