Modern Witches Circle
A different kind of women's circle
Modern Witches Circle – Empowering Women
Experience empowerment, sisterhood, magic and solidarity in the company of women
You know the feeling: sometimes you look someone in the eye and it seems like you’ve known them forever. Even though you’ve only just met the person …
Quite a few of us conjure up images or even memories from times gone by when we experience such an intense soul connection. When two women connect in this way, a feeling of“witch sister” quite often arises unexpectedly – and fast, too: We know each other, we have been on the same mission before – perhaps even many times, not only during the Middle Ages.
Our gift to each other: spiritual community and the courage to live our feminine strength
Now is the time for us to unite again, to build on what we started so long ago but were unable to complete because the world was not yet ready for it. The universal love that flowed through us and that we allowed to guide us was too much, too intense, too deep for many of our fellow human beings – and therefore: terrifying. So we had to go.
But today, in an emerging world that Lee Harris calls “The Golden Age”, it is becoming possible for us modern witches to meet again, collaborate, cocreate, let our light shine and support and sustain each other.
What if you haven’t experienced such deep connection moments yet? Would you still fit into the Modern Witches Circle?
Yes, as long as you can hear a call inside of you. And in that case, you are welcome even if you have no such memories, but feel a longing for support through the power of femininity.
For a witch stands on the very edge of everything, between the light and the dark, between life and death.
Terry Pratchett, “The Shepherd’s Crown”
The other side of darkness …
In the past, I would introduce one of the most powerful healers I have met in this life with the words: “With her inexplicable knowledge and her incredibly good intuition, she would certainly have been burned as a witch in the Middle Ages!” Her modest answer was always: “I was on the other side back then …”
In case you are one of these people aware that you share this past with her, knowing you used to be on the really dark side, you may still belong to us today. For example, if you have consciously decided to use this life to serve the forces of love. 🙂
What does magic, actually?
You don’t need any special magical skills to be part of our Modern Witches Circle community. Because do you know how magic, as I, Joy, live it, is created?
It arises from empathy, trust, (self-)love, humility, gratitude and your conscious immersion in the here and now. This is the witch’s brew that the modern witch can use for herself and others to make this world a more beautiful, loving place (or to remind herself and others that it already is, if we look at it with our eyes filled with universal love).
Every woman is a witch when she taps into her intuition.
Phyllis Curott, Book of Shadows
Anyone can do magic? Of course …
Incidentally, I believe that everyone has psychic abilities – most of us have just forgotten about it.
And well, well, forgetting, remembering, or using the head in any way is one of these tricky things, isn’t it? It can be so difficult to get into the magical space if we try to do it purely through our brain, using willpower. And yet it is precisely willpower and thought control that is needed to flip the switch enabling us to gain access into the other worlds. One of the many paradoxes of spirituality … 😀
If we add an open heart to this thought control and combine it with the power of letting go on the physical level, then we can arrive at the place where everything is easy. Some call it enlightenment. 🙂
Staying in this space is not so easy, though. The path back into these realms that we will take in the Modern Witches Circle is one of slowness, joy and ease.
What is the Modern Witches Circle about?
Our day together in a circle of conscious women is meant to strengthen all of us and celebrate our femininity.
What you can always expect from the Modern Witches Circles:
- Time for deep, healing, empowering women’s conversations
- Meditations that can help you to be yourself even more, no matter who is present when you tune into yourself
- Transformative exercises from various cultures and spiritual directions
- Time for creativity at all levels
- Energy work (you can find a more detailed description of energy work with us here) and/or sound healing
- Releasing blockages on a physical, mental or spiritual level through conscious touch (i.e. through words, purely energetic or physical touch, depending on what has the highest healing potential for you)
- Deep immersion in nature, even when we don’t leave the house at all
- Rituals for self-empowerment
- Simply a beautiful women’s reunion, seeing, strengthening and encouraging each other in our growth
In addition to this, for each Modern Witches Circle we will choose different focal points for female empowerment with which we want to work magic on a particular day. Together, instead of feeling the Witch Wound rise to the surface again and again, let’s finally leave it behind for good.
Here are some topics that we can explore in depth together in the Modern Witches Circle:
- Akashic readings
- Finding / living your vocation
- Body panting
- Channeling
- Chanting
- Unleashing the power of anger
- Setting boundaries and energetic protection
- Palmistry
- Hypnosis and mind travel
- Intuitive painting
- Card reading
- Spirit animal journeys
- Oriental mystical practices
- Soul language
- Shamanic Drumming
- Dance
- Telepathy
- Dream interpretation and dream work
- Connecting and working with invisible entities
- Yin yoga and other relaxed, feminine types of yoga
- Working with the Cervix and Dearmouring
Are you missing a topic that you know a lot about and would like to present to us at a future Modern Witches Circle? Or is there something you’d like to experiment with but don’t have a starting point yet? I’m always happy to hear new ideas, so feel free to get in touch with your suggestions.
Our Modern Witches Circle is suitable for spiritual newcomers as well as for women who have been on the path of self-love and self-knowledge for some time.
You can find all the dates for the Modern Witches Circles below. And here’s my current favourite witch empowerment song from the movie Wicked (Elphaba as a representative of female strength and empathy, who frees herself from the shackles of the collective with the help of her intuition and (self-)confidence, is incredibly inspiring).
Level 1: Beginners and Advanced
In addition to Yoga Nidra, the Modern Witches Circles are a unique format just for women. Each event is different, each one special, and the focus is always on strengthening togetherness among women and the empowerment of each individual.
We will take a longer lunch break in between, which you can spend on your own or with some of the participants to connect and get some delicious food here in Heidelberg city center. Alternatively, you can also bring your own food.
As always, there is no dress code. If you feel comfortable in a witch’s robe, that’s just as fine as in a sarong, suit or pyjamas. Wear what you feel comfortable in. And even without the pressure of having to make yourself pretty for our beloved men. 🙂

As YouMeUnity, we are offering to accompany you on your journey to yourself. We enjoy it so much to see people arrive at their innermost core. In doing so they are getting ready to embrace one or several relationships that can last and that are honest, deeper than ever before and 100 % heart-open. Such a secure bonding includes honest and appreciative communication, an open heart and a readiness in everyone involved to fully love themselves – and by doing so, learning to love everyone and everything on this beautiful planet, too. Self-confidence, courage, authenticity and acceptance are also part of this – as are all your supposed mistakes, shortcomings and your Buddha nature.
