A dream circle is a sacred gathering where women come together regularly to share and explore the depths of their dreams. In this ancient practice, each participant shares and invites her sisters to experience her dream as a journey. After each sharing, circle members offer their reflections, insights, and wisdom gained through their own felt experience of the dream journey—helping the dreamer discover hidden meanings and connections she might have missed on her own. Through dream circle work, we see that we belong to a community of dreaming beings.
Dream circles are women’s business. This sacred tradition has been passed down through generations of women, deeply rooted in our connection to the natural rhythms of our Earth and the mystical wisdom within our own bodies.
The practice of sharing dreams in circle creates a powerful mirror—when we share our inner visions with trusted companions, they reflect back insights we might never discover alone. A dream enters the circle as a rough stone, but it leaves as a shining gem, a treasure that has become something truly precious and meaningful. Each facet of the dream is polished by our dreaming sisters as it moves around the circle.
Women contain so much magic and wisdom that it can be challenging to fully recognise our own depth and complexity. Dream circles provide sacred mirrors through which we can witness ourselves through the eyes of our dreaming sisters, helping us embrace the unique power and divinity that the Goddess expresses through each one of us.
In our modern world, it’s easy to lose touch with life’s sacred mysteries, buried beneath the rush of daily tasks and routines. But when we gather in dream circles, something magical happens: our hearts open and we reconnect with the Goddess—that divine feminine consciousness that weaves her way through all of existence. As our sisters hold up sacred mirrors for our dream medicine to shine back upon us, we begin to remember the soul that flows through us at every moment. Together, we joyously reignite and embrace the ancient knowing that we are all daughters of the Goddess, participating and creating together in her grand cosmic dance of life.
The sacred mirroring that unfolds within sisters dream circles transcends our ordinary social interactions—we are dropping the masks of our personas and relating soul-to-soul. There is none of the judgement nor need for approval that we might experience in our waking-life relationships. During dream circle, our only task is to witness and honour the divine spark of the universal creatrix that is expressing herself within each of our sister’s dreams. Dream circle is a sanctuary where every dreamer’s wild heart is celebrated; where her shadows and light are welcomed equally. In our dream circles, we enter into the grace of deep listening and authentic presence with each other—cultivating an open heart that is ready to receive divine love from our sisters and ready to love them divinely in return.
When a sister shares a dream of running with wolves or dancing with serpents, we recognise these as sacred messages from the Goddess herself, speaking to all of us in her primal language of living symbology—her poetic wisdom written in feelings, movement, and form. Each disturbing or disgusting dream becomes a doorway to reclaiming ancient feminine power. Each frightening nightmare becomes a key to accessing deeper and deeper levels of our own self-love, freedom and liberation.
In dream circles, we dive beneath the mundane, surface appearances of our dreams and into the depths of their magical natures—unveiling the sacred symbols that reveal the priestess, the wild woman, the divine child who resides within each of us. Our dreams are the gateways of the feminine mysteries, guiding us on a journey of initiation, transformation, manifestation, and divine revelation.
As the circle closes and we return to the everyday world of regular life and our societal roles, the mystery remains alive within us. Instead of fading away, it deepens and expands within our hearts, as we notice signs and symbols from our dreams continuing their presence in the world around us. Synchronicities shimmer around us like divine droplets, reminding us that we are all sacred dancers within the dance of life. Through the magic of circle work, we become attuned to how even the most ordinary moments can shine with divine significance—the world itself is revealed as a sacred text, a soul space of endless wonder and mystery.
