Welcome to The Story Circle

A community to connect, share, heal

and transform individually and collectively

through the power of story.

Real Women, Real Stories


The Story Circle embraces the power of story as a healer and stimulus for individual and collective transformation.



Through sharing story we seek to unveil the lessons, the wisdom, the blessings that are often hidden in our stories.



Together let's celebrate the extraordinary in the ordinary as 

real women with real stories.

The Abandonment Wound

Bernadette O'Connor joins mother and daughter, Karen Seymour and Chloe Lincoln in this deeply personal and raw story about the generational abandonment wound. Karen shares her experience of being adopted at birth and we explore how healing can occur when empowered choices are made and how wounds of abandonment can unconsciously impact on future generations. Can opening the heart to compassion, forgiveness and acceptance be the path to healing the abandonment wound? This is a  powerful story of generational healing.

The Becoming of the

Divine Feminine

Bernadette O'Connor and Lauren Fergusson contemplate the often messy path in the becoming of the Divine Feminine. Exploring the concepts of toxic femininity, the abuse of sexual power, historical womb wounds and how attacking the patriach does little to support healing of the imbalance between the masculine and feminine. There are no answers here, simply concepts to contemplate and an invitation to explore deeply within self to find your own path of becoming.

The Distorted Dark Feminine

In this intimate conversation, Alana Jolly-Parrot and Bernadette O'Connor discuss distorted dark feminine energy as reflected in The Mysteries of Marigold and the film, Promising Young Woman. They explore the rites of passage of Maiden to Woman in modern society and how the inability to witness and sit in the discomfort of our wounds individually and collectively blocks healing and transformation.

Rejection

In this conversation in The Story Circle, we explore the topic of rejection, where it comes from, how it impacts behaviours and how to heal it so that you can hold with integrity when you experience rejection ie. stay in your centre with heart open and non-attachment to the story.




Share Your Story

"


Everybody has a story. 

When we share our stories we heal and in turn our stories support others to heal. 

In every story there is a lesson in the trauma, wisdom in the tragedy and

so much growth waiting to be discovered in the darkness.  


My story is your story. Your story is my story. 

In sharing our stories, may we walk each other home.
