The Lost Art of Gathering for Women

For millennia, women have come together to support one another through life’s biggest transitions… birth, marriage, loss, healing, and celebration. Gathering in circle, sharing wisdom, and holding space for each other has been the foundation of connection, community, and strength.

Anthropologist Margaret Mead once said, "A city must be a place where groups of women and men are seeking and developing the highest things they know." Women have always been gatherers… not just of food or resources, but of stories, support, and wisdom.

But somewhere along the way, we lost this.

Social media has stepped in to fill this need for connection. It gives us access to stories, advice, and a sense of belonging with a simple scroll and double tap for a like. And while it can be a powerful tool for finding community, it does not replace the feeling of being seen, heard, and held in real life. The warmth of a hand on yours, the laughter that ripples through a group of women, the quiet moments of deep understanding… these are things that cannot be replicated through a screen.

And within these gatherings, there is something deeply special about bringing together multiple generations of women. When we gather across generations, we bridge the gap between past and present, carrying forward traditions, wisdom, and stories that might otherwise be lost. The elder women offer guidance, perspective, and reassurance, while the younger women bring fresh energy, curiosity, and new ways of seeing the world. There is a deep richness in learning from one another, in witnessing the full spectrum of womanhood, and in remembering that we are always both teachers and students in this life.

I believe in bringing this back. I believe in reclaiming the tradition of women gathering in sisterhood… to sit in circle, to share, to listen, and to simply be together. To create spaces where we can reflect, release, and reconnect with ourselves and each other.

This is an invitation. A call to gather, to step away from the digital noise, and to lean into real, tangible connection. Reach out. Find your people. Create the spaces you long for. And if you don’t know where to start… I will hold that space for you.

Let’s return to what we have always known. Let’s gather.
