Can we perform rituals to bring a community together and support each other in healing? Wisdom Circles are places where people can be together, to nurture others, and to be nurtured. The essence is authenticity, trust, care, and openness to change.Even though Cindy Spring does workshops with women, one of which she calls Wild Woman Retreat, she says that about 20% of her participants are men. Wisdom circles are open to, and can benefit anyone, no matter the gender.
