WOMEN’S CIRCLES IN THE COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE
Witness one another & reclaim the courage to be seen.
“I hold this space with the intention for women to allow themselves to let go, where they can be held and hold one another. A space where they can connect and let spirit flow through them, a space for them to drop into their womb and find their power, voice, and wisdom within. My intention is to hold space for each woman to release, receive, and surrender to the healing that is awaiting them.
All those who are craving a space of sisterhood, and are 18 years or older are welcome. Whether you have a physical womb or not does not matter. What body you were born in, what stage of life you are in does not matter. We circle in honor of the divine, energetic force the collective womb carries, and we circle in honor of the divine feminine that lives in us all.
These gatherings come from deep within my heart and it is an honor to hold this space.
With love,
Abby”
CACAO CEREMONY. SHARE CIRCLE. SOUL JOURNEY.
A JOURNEY WITHIN, TOGETHER.
Ritual & Ceremony. Heart & Womb. Receive & Release
Abby has held circles monthly in the Gorge with the ebb and flow of life and pauses since 2016. They’ve traditionally been open-ended, without a particular theme. Since 2022 this has shifted, and she is now offer Shapeshifting The Goddess — A 9-month pilgrimage for women ready to unleash their feminine power, claim the shameless woman within and live wildly from their place of truth by embodying the power of eight feminine archetypes.
For those who join in person, each month we will gather in circle, drop into our hearts and wombs, and share the sweet medicine of Cacao to open as we traverse the depths of our soul finding presence with whatever arises. There will be a share circle for each woman to be witnessed and for us to witness one another, time for journaling, and some form of guided meditation with sound to integrate and come full circle.
There are virtual options available and you can find the full details here.

RISE SISTER RISE
~ A deeper dive of our time together…
The birth of the Women’s Gatherings came from a craving to experience a deep, raw connection with other women, a craving for vulnerability in community, a craving for the power of the womb to be reclaimed and honored. It came from a craving for more ceremony, a craving to have sacred space to rest in and a craving to clear the personal and collective trauma of the womb and the divine feminine that we all share in some form or another. Historically, women have gathered together and the time has come for this tradition to be reestablished.
Abby invites you to join her for a sacred experience of exploration and reclamation of the divine feminine within. We open our hearts, connect to our and/or the collective womb, connect with one another, and drop deep within. Abby has worked with the sweet medicine of Cacao for many years and it has become her deepest ally in holding these circles. She will offer the guidance of breath and visualization, as well as healing sound to ground and open. Space will be held for you to share what is calling from deep within, and we will all hold space for each other to do the same.
Each gathering unfolds somewhat differently but has the same underlying foundation of dropping in, time for sharing and silence, journaling, and typically to close, some form of meditation-journey to support whatever has unfolded in your time together.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Abby, she is happy to talk with you further.
