Joining an online women’s circle can be an amazing experience full of magic, deep connections, and heartfelt shares. And here’s the best thing: You can get the benefits of joining an online women’s circle from the comfort of your home.
I absolutely love women’s circles, whether in-person or online. There is some magic that happens when women gather to support, celebrate and empower each other.
I also had some doubts, but an online circle can be incredibly powerful and has many benefits. And you can feel this magic even when it’s being held online! Especially if you are introverted and are not comfortable with going to a new place, an online women’s circle could be exactly what you need!
Being an introvert myself, I know it can sometimes be uncomfortable to join a group or workshop if you don’t know anyone there. And the sad truth is that in the past, this would stop me from going.
But I would love for you to experience the magic of a circle of women if you feel called to! So let’s talk about the benefits of joining an online women’s circle.
5 benefits of an online women’s circle
There are many reasons to join an online women’s circle, especially if you can’t find any in-person circles nearby or if you are traveling a lot. Circling with women online might be a great option for you to gather with sisters from the comfort of your own home.
1. Your very own safe space
We tend to feel safer when we are at home because we are familiar with the space, sounds, and smells. When you join from your home, you can really feel comfortable, grounded, and secure. This will allow you to open up deeply, share from your heart, and be yourself.
When you circle from home, you can create your own safe space.
Another benefit of being able to stay at home is that you will have no commute, traffic, or stress to worry about. Just open your laptop, make yourself a cup of tea, and have your journal ready; that’s all you really need to join an online women’s circle.
2. Save your precious time
We all know that time is precious, and we often end up skipping our self-care or time dedicated to our spiritual development. When you join an online circle, the good news is you don’t have to stress about ending up in traffic, missing your bus or arriving super late and exhausted.
Thankfully, technology has our backs when it comes to making things more time-effective and beneficial for our personal growth. You can use the time you are saving to get to the place (yoga studio) to get ready, slip into your comfy clothes and set the mood instead. Maybe light some candles or incense sticks and use the extra time for a grounding meditation prior to the circle.
3. Join as you are
Being at home allows you to wear whatever you want and feel good about it. If you wish to, you can join in your pajamas or in whatever clothes you feel the most comfortable. Comfort is queen here!
There is no judgment, competition, or comparison in a women’s circle. You are welcome just as you are. No need to put on any make-up or even brush your hair – unless that’s something you love to do for yourself.
4. Worldwide sisterhood
Maybe you are a digital nomad and travel a lot. Or you are living in a remote area, and there’s no women’s circle in your town. Even though women’s circles are on the rise, they are still not accessible everywhere.
Connect with sisters from all over the world and experience the support of a like-minded community.
If you join an online circle, you can meet women from all over the world and keep connected while you are traveling. Especially if you are on the road, it can be hard to find your tribe and form lasting and deep relationships with other women.
An online circle gives you the space and opportunity to gather with women from all parts of the world, from different cultures and backgrounds. The medicine and wisdom that each woman brings to the circle is just magical.
5. Protect your energy
If you are highly sensitive or an empath, joining an in-person circle can take a lot of your energy. As much as I love the energy of physically coming together, I know it can be challenging or overwhelming if you are very receptive to other people’s energy.
When you join online, you are way more in control of the energy that you want to take in. It can also give you a sense of safety because you are behind a screen and not as exposed, while still allowing you to share and open up to experiencing the magic of sisterhood.
I know it can be uncomfortable when you join your first circle online, so I wrote another blog post about: What you need to know before joining an online women’s circle.
Here’s what an online women’s circle could look like:
Each facilitator of a women’s circle is free to structure their own circle and what everyone feels most comfortable and aligned with. This is the structure of a women’s circle I previously hosted, so you can have an idea of what to expect:
- Grounding meditation: To center your mind and body, arrive in the space, clear your energy and create a sacred space, perhaps accompanied by lighting a candle.
- Welcoming sister: Share your name and how you feel; this can be a single word or a few sentences.
- Embodiment practice: Move to the rhythm of the music or choose to remain seated. Drop from your mind to your heart and womb space.
- Soul inquiry: Go inwards and use the journal prompts provided to connect with your soul and higher self.
- Deep shares: Let your most authentic self speak in a safe space. Be heard, understood, and supported by your fellow sisters. Sometimes the group may break into groups of two or three to share in a more intimate setting. You can also always choose to remain silent in my circles.
- Ritual: Use the power of the goddess Kali to release what no longer serves you.
- Closing round: Each sister has the chance to add anything else before the circle is complete, and the energetic container will be closed
The practices, rituals, and topics vary from circle to circle. They can be inspired by the moon, female archetypes, rites of passage or any other theme.

Experience online sisterhood
Being able to connect with women from all over the world is one of the amazing benefits of our technology. With the rise of social media, we’ve become very disconnected from nature and the beauty around us.
“A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.” – Isadora James
But we can use it to bring us back to our feminine side and dive deep into sisterhood and the divine feminine. So I would like to encourage you to see the benefits of joining an online women’s circle, especially if an in-person one is currently not an option for you.
You will be surprised by the energy and magic we can create when we come together from different parts of the world to unite as women.
