Cultural Experiences
Join us for a cosy evening of empowerment, connection, and exploration at Derby Women's Circle.
☀️ Derby Women’s Circle: A Midsummer Celebration
Honoring the Sun, the Earth, and Each Other
As the wheel turns toward Midsummer, the Derby Women’s Circle is moving outdoors! This is the time of
Litha
—the longest day of the year—when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. It is a season of strength, growth, and the vibrant abundance of nature.
We invite you to join us in the beautiful Allestree park, where we will rest, reconnect, and simply be ourselves alongside the trees, long grasses and woodwide web beneath us. Whether you are looking for deep reflection or the simple joy of sharing space with a supportive community, there is space for you here.
We have the wonderful
Sally Foster-Ward
joining us to offer
nature readings.
Sally uses the
beauty and surrounding nature
to provide
clarity and direction.
Summer solstice is a time to celebrate the
light, energy, and abundance
of nature. Sally will be offering guidance and upliftment in this special time of year.
(Having a reading is purely optional with no pressure or offence taken if you decide this isn't for you. The offer of a reading is included at no extra cost.)
🌿 What to Expect
Each gathering is unique, but our circles will include:
A Warm, Inclusive Environment:
We are proudly LGBT+ inclusive and welcome women from all walks of life.
Nature-Inspired Connection:
Our practice is guided by the rhythms of the earth and the themes of the summer solstice.
Grounding & Meditation:
A guided meditation and body scan to help you root into the moment.
Conversation & Tea:
Space to share, reflect, and enjoy a warm herbal brew under the evening sky.
🎒 Your Midsummer Checklist
To stay comfortable as we celebrate outdoors, please bring the following:
Comfort:
Something to sit or lie on (fold-up chair, blanket, or yoga mat for the meditation - I have spares!).
A Mug:
For herbal tea.
Hydration:
Water or your choice of a cold drink.
Layers:
Whatever the British summertime demands! Think jumpers for when the sun goes down or a waterproof just in case.
No prior experience or knowledge is needed—just a willingness to show up as you are.
