I have an idea for a circadian sisterhood circle
Summer Sister, Winter Sister, Swap!
For the past year, or maybe even more like 18 months, I’ve been hearing from women who want more community style support from me.
Not just one-to-one work, and not the cadence of classes and group chat here in the Substack, but a way to form intentional relationships with other circadian-savvy women and mothers.
A way to connect through similar stages of preparing for conception, being pregnant, planning for birth, and supporting our newborns… circadian-style.
I’ve loved this idea of a circadian sisterhood, or mother’s circle, and have played around with different ideas for how it could work; but nothing felt quite right… until last week!
It was actually hearing my research mentees present their projects at IAQB when it clicked.
It’s Summer in the Northern hemisphere now, and Winter in the Southern hemisphere.
Six months from now, it will be the opposite.
So as with the idea of sister cities, I’m thinking this: what if we have a circle intentionally comprised of women from both hemispheres?
We can study the whole arc together in half the time!
Are you into this!?
So here’s what I am feeling so inspired about doing.
This is a bit radical; let me know what you think.
I’m inviting a small group (4-8 women) from each of the hemispheres.
So some Northern hemisphere sisters , and some Southern hemisphere sisters.
My revelation came from a comment from Musings of a WiseWoman as she was talking about her Sunny D experiment: the way we winter determines our ability to summer; and vice versa.
Summer Circle / Winter Circle
My aha moment: If we get together in circle with our sisters currently in the opposite season for mutual contemplation and support, just, how cool would that be!? We’ll be living one season, preparing for the opposite, and getting real time experience and motivational insight from the opposite side of the world.
This is what I’m thinking:
I’ll host a group intensive now (peak Northern summer / Southern Winter), for four weeks, and then host a second intensive with the same members in six months… when our roles as either Summer sisters or Winter sisters has swapped!
Doesn’t this sound fun!? We’ll also have a cozy little group space for the transitional season between, too. Either Fall or Spring, respectively.
With this structure, you get two intensives to support you through the most extreme seasons of the year… held in reflection and community with a unique global twist of experiencing the simultaneous but opposite seasons together!
I’m really jazzed about this and already dreaming up all kind of fun resources, activities, and convo’s we can have considering that we’ll have all the stages of the perinatal arc to make it even more dynamic thanks to our unique community and interests.
I’m thinking about all the
Preconception, pregnancy, birth, & postpartum topics
Circadian and quantum biology supports for each across all the climate extremes of the year
And going from
Northern hemisphere Summer to Winter
Southern hemisphere Winter to Summer
Together! Full seasonal pendulum swing.
I’m bringing circadian community facilitation, and with strategic and personalized 1-1 support also bundled into the group, and pre-releasing a physical journal I’ve been working on so you can work through it during our six months and share your feedback before the public release.
