About our Women’s Gathering
Unlike many of our Peace Dome offerings that are guided experiences to receive, Seasons of Her is a living circle — highly participatory and co-created by the women who gather. Container is held and facilitated by Ashley Laurie, and curated guest facilitators. Each gathering invites you to contribute your voice, your energy, and your season of life into the collective weave.
Rooted in the lunar cycles, these women circles align monthly with either the new moon (fresh beginnings, intention setting, creative exploration) and full moon (illumination, release, celebration). Together we practice being in rhythm with nature and each other — remembering the ancient power of women gathering.
Women’s Circle
w/ Ashley Laurie
As autumn settles across the farm, we gather in a season that invites us to slow down, look back, and honor what has shaped us. October is about “remembering”. We remember the people, places, experiences, and versions of ourselves that remain woven into who we are.
Guided by the rhythms of the land, we’ll gather for an evening of reflection Co-hosted by Kristin Morrison Designer/Founder of All Species. Kristin will lead our circle in an exploration of what it means to be whole through the medium of visible textile mending and patchwork.
Together, our circle will work in connection with the fabric of who we are as individuals and learn some basic hand-sewing/embroidery techniques (no experience necessary).
The parts that have been hiding in the shadows and need tending, as well as the light we wish to carry forward with intention into the season ahead.
This gathering will explore movement, discussion and ritual to honor all of our parts and we hope you’ll join.

Peace Dome activities help us reconnect to the land by sharing experiences that create reverence to the thousands of years old history of interconnectedness.
By coming together as a community, we are able to reflect on our relationship to this planet and this farm in order to help better steward it with a deep sense of peace. This work is just one of the ways in which we help envision a future of meaningful investment in our food, our neighbors, our children, and of course, this magical farm.
