COMMUNITY · THE CIRCLES
The women's circle
Women's circles aren't a wellness invention. They're one of the oldest continuous practices on earth, and in the tradition Esperanza comes from, they never stopped. This one happens to be online: a room every other week where women speak in turn, are witnessed without being managed, and carry a thread of the Lunita ground into ordinary weeks.
Held by Esperanza
Esperanza is Lunita's resident Mayan medicine woman, a Moon Mother and a keeper of women's ceremony whose work at the property runs from womb healing to Blessingways. The circle is the most accessible doorway into all of it: no travel, no ceremony, just her holding and the form itself.
What a session holds
A welcome, an opening, a theme: cycles and seasons, mothers and daughters, the body, the load women carry that rarely gets named out loud. Then the turns: each woman speaks for as long as she needs, uninterrupted, and is listened to without advice or rescue. Passing is always allowed; silence is real attendance.
Some sessions are light. Some go deep without warning. The form holds both, that's rather the point of a form this old.
Joining
Online, every other week, alternating with the men's circle. Write to info@lunitajungleretreat.com for the next session's link. First time? Just come and listen. The circle has held first-timers for several thousand years.
