The Lantern Circle

a call to the women

This is a Lantern Call to the women who, like me, live with chronic illness.

It is my heart’s desire to create an online women’s group called The Lantern Circle. I would love you to join me.

Together, we will gather in the shared experience of living in chronically ill bodies. Lives that have taken an unexpected turn from the ones we once had, or once imagined. This will be a space to share the grief and loss that can come with such a radical shift. And also a space to gently shine a light on the quiet power within it. The way this path can shape us, deepen us, open us, and if we allow it, awaken us to something larger than ourselves.

Above all, I want this to be a place of real and lasting friendship. New bonds with women who understand in ways others may not. Connections that stretch between beds, across oceans, and over land.

Illness can be a powerful gateway. It can also be deeply isolating. My hope is that we join hands and walk through it together.

The first cycle of The Lantern Circle will be a pilot group, freely offered. I’m looking for a handful of women who feel called. Spaces are limited.

Starting in April, we will meet on Zoom every other Wednesday at 7pm UK time, 4pm ET, 11am PT.

Cameras on. Sit or lie down. Wear an eye mask. Hide under the covers if you need to. Come exactly as you are.

If this speaks to you, send me a direct message, or leave a comment and I’ll get back to you with more details.

Until we speak again, sending you my love.
