THE CIRCLE
Women's Circle · A boutique gathering of women
You know this feeling.
Carrying everything. Doing everything.
Being everything.
And somewhere along the way, losing yourself.
Maybe it shows up as tension you can't release. A tiredness that sleep doesn't fix. Cycles that feel chaotic. A quiet sense of not being at home : in your body, in your country, in this chapter of your life.
Maybe you've just been moving too fast to hear what your body has been saying all along.
A place to slow down, listen, and reconnect.
Four ways home
Body
A return to the body as home where your shoulders soften, your mind quiets, your heart speaks, and you remember how to listen to your body.
Cycles
A woman's life and body move in cycles. The phases of your life. Your menstrual cycle. And around us, the cycles of nature: the seasons, the new moon and the full moon. In each circle, we practice coming a little closer to this rhythm.
Wisdom
Each circle shares one piece of old wisdom: an Ayurvedic practice for the season, or a ritual women have kept for generations.
Sisterhood
A small, intimate group of women where you are witnessed, held, and welcomed exactly as you are. Finding the connection that reminds you: you were never alone.
The Circle draws from traditions that have guided women for thousands of years, held within a modern, grounded, and embodied container.
Arrive & Ground
nervous system softens
You walk in as you are. We open with a short grounding practice with mindfulness and breathwork to settle the nervous system and arrive, fully, in the body.
Somatic Body Practice
to sense, to feel, to be aware
Somatic and intuitive movement and voice/singing guided by the theme of the gathering.
Rituals & Ceremonies
remember, connect, release
We might drink heart-warming rose tea with intention, give ourselves a gentle massage, write what comes from the heart, or sing together. Every circle has its own medicine, shaped by the moon, the season, and what we need in that moment.
Share
heart to heart connection
We sit together in a circle, each woman equally close to the center, with no hierarchy. We share what arises from within, guided by the theme of the day. Each woman speaks if she chooses, and is held by everyone present. There is no advice.
Close & Integrate
something that stays in the body
A simple closing practice to carry the experience home.
The Circle is for you if…
You live mostly in your mind and want to feel your body again.
You are navigating a transition: a new country, a new identity, a new season of womanhood.
You're curious about connecting with your body, your rhythm and nature, but don't know where to start.
You want to reconnect with your intuition without forcing answers.
You're exhausted by carrying everything alone, and ready to be held without needing to perform.
What you really want is real human presence.

“With the women I met, we shared thousands of feelings and thoughts without saying a word.”
As someone who had never attended a women’s circle before, I truly loved Ece’s calm presence, gentle guidance, and the safe space she created. I felt comfortable and secure. With the women I met, we shared thousands of feelings and thoughts without saying a word. I’m so grateful to Ece and already looking forward to experiencing it again and joining future gatherings.

Every word, every silence was a mirror in this circle…
Thank you for creating this sacred space that brought us closer to ourselves and to one another.
You made us feel the power, softness, creativity, and resilience of being a woman.

I’m so happy to have met someone so experienced in what you do. In the circle, you beautifully engaged all of our senses. With the cacao we drank and the song we sang, you helped us open our hearts. After the ceremony, I felt reconnected with my essence and my strength — incredibly calm and at peace. Thank you so much for giving me this wonderful experience. Wishing for many more to come..

Is this therapy?
The Circle is a wellbeing space. It isn't therapy or medical treatment. You take part in each practice only as far as you want to.
What language is it held in?
As noted in each circle's details, Turkish or English, depending on the gathering.
Do I need any experience
None at all. If you've never done somatic practice or been to a circle, it is totally fine. Everything is optional, sharing included.
How is the cancellation policy?
Cancellations made up to 48 hours before the circle can be transferred to another circle. Cancellations within 48 hours are non-refundable, but you may gift your spot to another woman.
