Setting the Scene
Creating a sacred space for gathering is a ritual in itself—a dance of intention and magic. As I prepared for todays E.L.L.E.S. gathering, I felt the familiar joy of pulling together the elements: yoga mats, bolsters, meditation pillows, pens, and paper. Normally, I add flowers to the mandala, intuitively choosing blooms that align with the energy of the circle.

But Spirit had other plans. When my phone decided not to cooperate, I couldn’t make my usual flower purchase. Instead of frustration, I leaned into surrender—a lesson the universe keeps whispering in my ear. “What you have is already enough. Trust.”

I gathered feathers from the energy healing room, obsidian from upstairs, and other treasures already at Right to Heal. As I placed them in the mandala, I realized how perfectly they embodied the energy of the gathering. The feathers, symbols of hope and spiritual growth, whispered of divine presence. The obsidian grounded us in healing and protection, encouraging courage and the exploration of the unknown.

The result was a reminder: the magic is always within us, waiting to be called forth.

The Oracle’s Guidance
To set the collective intention for the gathering, I pulled a card from the Spirit of You oracle deck. The card for the group was The Mystic, a powerful message of intuition, self-belief, and visionary energy.

Here is the affirmation and guidance it offered:

“I trust that I am a powerful visionary.”

The card reminded us that our magic and intuition are on the rise, and that the time is now to trust in our insights and dreams. It urged us to notice the signs, patterns, and visions that appear in our lives and to honor them without self-doubt.

It was a perfect reflection of the circle’s energy—a call to embrace authenticity, honor our gifts, and step boldly into our power as healers and visionaries.

The Gathering Begins
When the women arrived, it felt as if the circle had always existed, waiting for us to step into it. Each woman introduced herself, sharing her unique medicine with vulnerability and passion. None of us were the same, yet together we created something extraordinary.

The second powerful moment came during a partner activity. We paired off, taking turns to share who we are, what we do, and why we do it. Then, we reflected our partner’s essence back to them. Hearing someone else describe you in such a deeply intuitive and loving way was like holding a mirror to your soul.

It was an invitation to embrace the truth of our power, to believe in our magic, and to remember that we are so much more than we often give ourselves credit for.

Closing the Circle
As the gathering came to a close, we returned to the circle to share our reflections and takeaways. Each woman offered her thoughts on what she had learned or felt during our time together. Some shared the cards they had chosen, each holding a deeply personal and resonant message.

There was a palpable sense of gratitude and inspiration in the air—a recognition of the magic we had created together. The circle felt complete, but its energy lingered, ready to flow into what came next.

A Tour of Right to Heal
With the circle’s energy still humming, I led the women on a tour of Right to Heal. I wanted these incredible practitioners to see how their gifts might align with our mission: building a healthier community, one person at a time.

The space, infused with hope and healing, seemed to hum with possibility. These women, each carrying their own unique medicine, could be the threads that help mend the fabric of our community, offering healing modalities that touch the mind, body, and spirit.

Looking Ahead
This gathering was more than a meeting; it was a cauldron of collaboration, connection, and transformation. It reaffirmed what I already knew: E.L.L.E.S. is destined to grow, nourishing the witches, mystics, healers, and medicine women who feel called to step into this sacred community.

Together, we are weaving a web of support, where magic and practicality meet. Here, practitioners will hone their gifts, refill their cups, and find like-minded women to walk alongside them. And through this, we will better serve our clients, our communities, and ourselves.

The first E.L.L.E.S. gathering was a reminder of the power of women gathering with intention. It was a spell cast for the future—a future where collaboration and connection create ripples of healing far beyond our circle.
