"As a result of being honored by Karen for my 50th, I still 2 months later am affected by this life changing event. I have a lot of friends and a very active life but the way I felt during this ritual was extremely unique. The entire experience helped me to see how important I am as a friend and how much I effect the people around me. I felt nurtured and loved and taken care of in a way I never imagined I would ever experience. I felt connected and full of everything that I usually only dream about. The ceremony is second to none. Teasing all my senses and emotions in a wonderful way. I laughed and cried and played and relaxed. I ate and drank and listened to music and smelled awesome scents. I was blessed and received so much love. I am still full. Every time I think about the afternoon I smile. Then all the feelings come back as though they were still current. I only wish everyone could experience this even just once"
"As a 'strong, independent' type of woman, I usually was the one reaching out to support others. I was always doing, doing, doing, not even aware of my own feelings, let alone feeling comfortable with
asking for support from others. In honor of my 50th birthday, Karen offered to lead A Women's Circle as part of my celebration party. It still makes my eyes tear when I remember the feelings of that day. The part that I remember most is this:Each woman friend in attendance brought a written piece--a work they had penned or something that they had found--that spoke about their experience of me. As each woman read her piece I could do nothing but take it all in.My heart felt as if it would burst from the outpouring of insights and proclamations from my friends. How could I have known my self-worth
and impact on others if not for this ceremony? As women, we are nurturers by design. We spend so much of our days tending to the needs of others. How delightful that we allow the nurturing to return
to us through this ceremony."
