Monthly circles in an authentic, natural, womblike space, and silent apart from the sound of birds and wildlife…
Gathering since October 2022, Tabitha’s circles are held in a beautiful wooden roundhouse on a private wild meadow site in Denver, nr Downham Market. “It is a very authentic, natural, womblike space, and silent apart from the sound of birds and wildlife,” she says. “We have a good number of regulars but always have new women coming too.”
Tabitha explains that her circles are run as a collective, starting with a bit of a chat until all are present, then she opens the circle, introducing a topic, and allowing each woman to share, while the others listen with an open heart, not trying to ‘fix’ or ‘advise’ anyone, just listening.
The roundhouse is housed in a field, and is part of Tabitha’s home in West Norfolk. “I love to work with women and families who want to thrive alongside nature and all the beauty that it holds,” she says. “Our first concern on site is the respect and regeneration of the land, and I class Mother Nature as my business partner!”
As an intentional inclusive welcoming space, Tabitha and her family are constantly working to encourage and empower their community to use the space for spiritual growth and development. They are wheelchair accessible in the drier months, and have applied for lottery funding to install access all year round.
