"The Holding Space workshop through Beldam Womancare was such an empowering course. So much intention and thought was put into creating the content, I feel confident and well prepared to hold a safe and supportive container for women. I received a wealth of resources describing the different types of women's circles and ideas on how to handle any situation that might arise. I also received a file with a trove of lovely songs to learn and share and sing at gatherings, which is just so magical!"

Praise for Laura's Women's Circles
" My first women’s song circle felt almost like a psychedelic experience. Laura masterfully led an eclectic group of women and children into a musical trance that left me speechless. I was in awe of the alchemical magic found when females gather together with open hearts, curiosity, and reverence to ancestral wisdom. I walked away effervescent and inspired by life - eager to return for more circle magic."

"I have so enJOYed Laura's Womens' Song Circles like so much! It is such a gift to share in lifting our voices to praise all that it is to be a woman and have wombs. I have great memories from sitting around a fire with sisters eating yummy snacks and letting our wombs and throats harmonize, it is so soothing to my being. Laura's Womens' Talking Circles are such a safe container to share my highs and lows with friends while also being given the choice to get feedback or just be heard, and I think Laura does a great job making sure everyone who wants to speak, is able to."
