What we’re about
(For the convenience of our members, we also post on this Meetup other upcoming events that may not be just for women.)
Join thousands of women around the world gathering in circles around the time of the new moon and the full moon.
Every month thousands of women in 100+ countries gather in Sister Circles to connect, grow, empower one another, and catalyze the transformation and progress of our world.
Imagine the power of women all over the world gathering in circles, sharing our hearts and unifying our intentions so that we can navigate our lives with greater clarity and power. And, with the guide of transformational themes and unifying meditations, we expand and uplift ourselves and our global community.
Inspired by the Global Sisterhood's call for women to organize Sister Circles, the Raleigh Sister Circle began on International Women’s Day, March 8, 2016 along with 650 women’s circles sprinkled around the globe. Since then over 15,000 women circles in over 100 countries have gathered on every new moon to plant seeds of intention around a unifying theme of transformation. These circles cultivate deep bonds of sacred sisterhood and elevate the ways we relate to feminine power, ourselves, and each other.
Raleigh Sister Circle
The Raleigh Sister Circle participates in the Global Sisterhood's monthly meetings and meditations on or about the New Moon. In 2022, we also added a monthly Full Moon circle.
Each New Moon Sister Circle includes:
· The Global Sisterhood’s Unifying Heart meditation – participated in by thousands of women around the world;
· A theme for discussion and sharing;
· An opportunity to reflect and set new intentions.
Full Moon Circles are an opportunity to release energy, beliefs, and ways of being that no longer serve us.
Our group celebrates diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and honors our interdependent existence. Together we transform and empower in a sacred space of mutual respect and clear focus.
What is a Sister Circle?
A Sister Circle is a virtual or in-person women-only space. It’s a safe and sacred place where we share our journeys, insights, and stories, and are all seen and heard for who we truly are. Each Sister Circle is a unique experience influenced by the facilitator, the women participating, the location, and cultural traditions.
When we come together in equality and acceptance, we allow magic to take place. When we are seen, heard, and held we can transform our insecurities, wounds, jealousies, competitive patterns, and claim our true radiance, unity, and power.
To host or participate in a sister circle nourishes the natural yearning for authentic connection and creates opportunities for deep friendships to be cultivated.
WOMEN GATHERING TOGETHER IN CIRCLES IS THE FORCE THAT WILL HEAL OUR WORLD.
Magic happens when women gather in circles to share what’s really going on inside their hearts. When a woman is given an invitation to open up, dig deep, and share her truth with a group of women, she taps into a wellspring of wisdom inside herself. Her heart becomes lighter and fuller at the same time.
Within the heart of every sister is the power to transform and heal our world. So just imagine what happens when thousands of women’s circles gather with unified intentions around a transformational theme and the energy of the new moon…

“Nothing changes until you change.” Joe Dispenza
Are you seeking greater love and connection in your life? If you were a vibrational, energetic match to what you desire, you would already be experiencing it in the here and now. If you desire more love and connection but are not experiencing it YET, it is because your focus is on something contrary to it, on the lack of it.Do any of these thoughts and beliefs sound familiar?
I am lacking in love and connection because…- All the good ones are taken.
- All men are toxic. All women are _________.
- I have to _________ before I can attract the “right” one. Finding the “right” one requires that I _________ first.
- There is only one Mr./Ms. Right.
- I’m too_________ for someone to love me.
- If I find the “right” one, then _________ will surely happen.
- I don’t want a partner who _________.
- I’ve done some “bad” things in the past. I don’t deserve to find love.
- I am not lovable the way I am. People don’t like me.
- I can’t love myself. How can I expect someone else to?
- My current relationship cannot be healed.
- I must leave my partner if I am going to experience more love and connection.
These beliefs and more tune you to the lack of love and connection and create an energetic wall that prevents what you desire from flowing to you. What you desire already exists vibrationally, and you deserve to experience it now. You just need to change your thoughts, beliefs, and energy to let it flow to you. YOU CAN DO THAT. YOU CAN CHANGE. I’ll show you the way.

Theme: Cultivating Appreciation
From Grateful Living Resources...Summary
“Being unappreciative might mean we are simply not paying attention,” says poet David Whyte. But where should we focus our attention? Gratefulness invites us to concentrate on what we already appreciate, what we wish to appreciate more, and the opportunity to appreciate things we never appreciated before — especially opportunities themselves.In the words of Kristi Nelson: What we celebrate with our attention will grow and thrive. Appreciation turns strangers into friends, food into a feast, creativity into art, and people into their best selves. When democracy is honored rather than taken for granted, more of us vote. Appreciation can turn our planet into a sacred home and our communities into extended family. These shifts in consciousness can deliver change to our world. The recognition and acknowledgment of worth can go a long way in uplifting and empowering our lives, our values, and the future we envision. When we are in touch with deep appreciation for something (or someone), it means we are open to experience its value. Gratitude + Valuing = Gratefulness.

Primary Readings
In the Nourishment of Appreciation (3:00): In this essay, Kristi Nelson suggests that “everything flourishes in the nourishment of our appreciation,” and that we unleash ourselves to care for that which we value most when we actively appreciate it. https://gratefulness.org/blog/in-the-nourishment-of-appreciation/
Authentic Appreciation (3:30): In this essay, Terry Pearce explores how appreciation is grounded in experience, not simply rhetoric. https://gratefulness.org/resource/authentic-appreciation/Video & Audio
Why We Need Appreciation (Not Just Recognition) at Work (16:42): In this video, leadership expert Mike Robbins explores the difference between recognition on the basis of merit and appreciation for someone’s inherent worth.

What You Appreciate, Appreciates (1:10): In this brief audio clip, Lynne Twist invites us to consider the connection between sufficiency, appreciation, and abundance. https://gratefulness.org/resource/what-you-appreciate-appreciates/Poem
