Information from Sylvia:
Sylvia has known Lea since 2014 and have done many astrology session with her over the years. Being in Woman Circle’s with Lea has brought back her longing for sisterhood and reminded the immense strength it gives to share and thereby heal with other women.
In her capacity of being the one receiving these experiences it has grown upon her a strong urge to share the opportunity with others. Welcome to When woman gather workshop.
It will be an honour to have Lea come all the way from US join us in Tønsberg.
Information from Lea:
The intention
I believe more and more, as each year passes, that as we heal our connection to each other, we also heal everything we engage with. Women have always been the creators.
What are we creating now? Is it honest, is it sincere, what is it connected to? We have so many gifts that are being suppressed by the way we are living these days, that we are becoming increasingly sick. Even when we think we are doing everything right.
The vision
As an astrologer, reading and predicting hundreds of charts. I have also been a dedicated yogi for over 20 years. I have found that integrating our natal charts into the women´s circle creates absolute magic; opening a strong portal to deeper self-understanding.
Through our charts and the sisterhood developed in a trusting environment, we have a direct pathway to our inner essence. Throughout history, women were always drawn to different techniques that honoured our power as visionaries.
We have cast bones, thrown cards, read tea leaves, and looked to the stars for understanding, and made predictions related to love, health, births, children, environmental catastrophes, wars, etc. I will use the natal charts as a map to help us connect with our «seer inside.»
Every woman is born with this visionary ability. There is something absolutely incredible that happens when our visions emerge together. When women harmonise together, we have access to much deeper wisdom. As well as coming together to heal a cultural wound that says: You can’t trust other women. You can’t trust your femininity and you are not safe.” We can now reclaim the power of sisterhood and feel truly safe in our bodies.

*You will need to send your birth time, place and date, before the event. You will receive a copy of your natal chart. Please bring a journal and a pen for making notes.
We will start the gatherings in a led mediation. We will have a time for introductions and meeting each other. Then I will spontaneously go through all the participants’ natal charts, during the three days and read their personal story.
Every woman will be read during the four days, share, and hear feedback from the group. After the natal chart reading, I would like all women to share what they picked up from the reading, what they believe the woman needs to hear, and how the woman’s story has resonated with her story.
This is vital for the circle, that each woman shares what comes up for her, when hearing about the others. This is the essence of the Women’s Circle. This is deep inner work, creating transformation and healing for all gathered. We will then finish in a closing meditation.
The themes the natal chart reading will focus on:
1. Who am I?
2. What am I leaving behind?
3. What do I want my future to look like?
*The event will be limited to 20 women maximum.
