“What sitting in a circle with other amazing ladies means to me is so hard to describe. It is one of the only places I can go where I feel truly validated and heard, and no one “fixes” me! It’s a place where I listen and accept others whilst feeling the meaning in my body. I’m learning to tap back into my feminine nature and embrace my true self. I’m truly grateful to Vida for creating this space; it’s changed the way I travel life, and my life feels fuller and richer for it.”

“I have felt more support and relief from attending The Feminine Way women’s circles than from seeing therapists for anxiety and depression. I feel it is a space without judgement or agenda and where I can truly be myself with the knowledge that all that I say is kept in confidence, and I won’t get any unwanted advice. To be deeply witnessed and to deeply witness others is such a valuable and uplifting experience for me. I feel comforted and connected with other women to know I am not alone, that other women are going through similar things in their lives. I highly recommend attending a women’s circle to every woman. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Vida holds space for the circle with experience and care, providing a safe environment for everyone to express whatever they need to.

I attended The Feminine and Masculine Way’ dreams to reality, and for me in this week, I have had many challenges. Now I feel an inner strength rising to meet these challenges. I see with greater clarity my internal resources that I can call on at any moment. I have allowed myself to feel what is happening for me rather than feel differently and look to escape ‘uncomfortable feelings’. I can reach out to my partner and loved ones rather than push away; I can acknowledge the people who support me and say thank you just a little more.
I look forward to creating more space for dreaming in my life. Thank you.

A place to be honest, to speak the hidden thoughts, be witnessed with love without judgement and even without an answer. It is a place to dive and delve into your core and take the time to see what is there with truth and honesty.
Every circle, I feel as if I have sat in a place of profound beauty, wisdom and nurturing. It is a language of the ages where truths are shared
and hidden corners of the soul nurtured, and I love it.

I gave myself a gift when I decided to attend Vida’sThe Feminine Way’ series entitled ‘Celebrate Her’. For me, the insight I gained was profound. The first two Wednesdays were a deep exploration of self, with the third being a reclaiming of a part of me who I had kept hidden for so very long. It was a reawakening, a beautiful reunion leaving me with an exquisite sense of freedom that I now claim and honour. Thanks to you, Vida, for your gentle, tender holding of the feminine circle and to the other courageous women surrounding me in the circle, I honour you all, for your story is my story, your struggle is my struggle, your joy is my joy.
This was the greatest realization and gift of all.

I was originally drawn to The Feminine Way series because I felt curious and wanted to experience something deeper. I knew that with Vida Carlino, it would be a safe place, connecting with other women on a journey, seeking to awaken new possibilities. I highly recommend this for all women. It is a wonderful chance to be still and relax into something beyond every day. I love these experiences, and they give me clarity and grounding that is hard to put into words. I was able to embrace intentions of joy, love, acceptance, connection and peace. It translates to a real sense of spiritual calm. Thanks, Vida.
I am looking forward to more.

Vida opens a gorgeous space of acceptance and invites us ‘to be’. I love her ceremonial introduction and the ambience she so carefully creates to make us feel welcome. There is something so profoundly earnest and wise about Vida, and the space she creates to make us feel comfortable is so relaxing. I felt at ease and able to be vulnerable and share, and in turn, it was beautiful to be able to sit, listen and be in the moment of other’s sharing. Vida’s circles encompass so much honouring, love and depth -she facilitates us all getting to know ourselves deeply.
Thank you so much, Vida!!

My understanding of men and the way of the masculine has grown immensely and is still expanding. I am so grateful for all the learnings I have integrated into my life and my relationships due to sitting in a circle with both men and women. Words do not adequately describe my newfound understanding of men and women. I am very grateful.

I had not attended a sacred circle for a long time, and whilst sitting in the space, I felt a stiff resistance to listen and feel within myself. The other women’s words ignited my inner flame, melting and softening the rigid container I had buried many of my emotions. I felt a sense of relief and clarity to speak what I had hidden and denied. Thank you for a lovely reminder of how liberating and enlivening it is to sit in a circle with other women.
