What really happens when women gather in circle? Why is this ancient practice re-emerging as one of the most powerful forms of healing and connection in the modern world? In this deeply nourishing episode of Blossoming Beyond, I’m joined by Adriana Basile — Women’s Circle Facilitator, Mentor, and Relationship Coach — for a heart-opening conversation about sisterhood, ritual, and the sacred art of gathering. Adriana shares her personal story of transformation after a major life transition and how sitting in circle became a pathway back to herself. Together, we explore how circle work reconnects women to their truth, restores belonging, and heals the quiet loneliness so many feel in midlife. In this episode, we dive into: How Adriana found her calling as a women’s circle facilitator and mentorWhy gathering in circle is medicine for modern disconnection and burnoutThe ancient lineage of storytelling and feminine wisdomHealing the sisterhood wound and dismantling comparison cultureWhat really happens inside a women’s circle (and why it’s not “woo-woo”)How circle work is evolving — from sacred spaces to corporate and community gatheringsThe ripple effect of women reconnecting to themselves and each other Adriana’s grounded wisdom and compassionate presence are an invitation to slow down, breathe, and remember that you are not alone.
