Stop Waiting for Community.
Be the One that Creates It.
The women you've been hoping to find may be looking for someone exactly like you to gather them.
In this live facilitator training, you'll learn how to confidently create meaningful women's circles—whether you want a book club, support group, networking community, coaching group, or simply a place where women finally feel like they belong.
Become the Woman Who Starts It:
Maybe You Haven't Been Looking for Another Program...
Maybe you've been looking for your people.
Maybe there was a time when friendship happened naturally. You saw women every day at work, at your kids' school, in your neighborhood, or through the different seasons of life.
But somewhere along the way...things changed. The kids grew up. You moved to a new town. Your closest friends moved away. Work became remote. Life became busier. And somehow, without meaning to, your circle got smaller and smaller.
Now it's easy to go days—or even weeks—without having a conversation that goes beyond, "How's work?" or "How are the kids?" You scroll social media and see everyone else surrounded by friends, celebrating birthdays, taking girls' trips, gathering around dinner tables, while quietly wondering, "Where are my people?"
You've tried joining groups.
You've gone to networking events.
You've signed up for Meetups.
Maybe you've even attended a women's circle or two.
But finding a place to belong feels harder than ever. Not because there's something wrong with you.
Because so many women are living the exact same story.
We're craving real conversations.
Real friendships. Not another Facebook group.
Real community. Not another event where everyone exchanges business cards and disappears.
We want women who know our stories. Women who check in on us. Women who celebrate with us, sit beside us through heartbreak, and remind us that we don't have to navigate life alone.
If you're reading this thinking, "Yes. That's exactly what I've been missing." I want you to consider something.
What if the community you've been searching for isn't something you have to keep looking for?
What if you're the woman who's meant to create it?
Because every meaningful community begins the same way.
One woman decides to stop waiting for someone else to gather everyone...and simply says, "Come over. Let's begin."
That's exactly what this program will teach you to do.
You're probably here because:
- You long for deeper friendships.
- You wish someone would start a women's group locally or with your interests in mind.
- You're tired of surface-level conversations.
- You believe women need each other more than ever.
- You've secretly wondered if you could create something meaningful.
- Maybe you don't feel like a leader—but you do care deeply about people.
Perfect!
"A circle of women may just be the most powerful force known to humanity."
-Jeanette LeBlanc
Imagine One Year From Now...
Picture this: It's Thursday night.
Women are arriving at your house (or Zoom).
Someone says, "This is my favorite night of the month."
One woman shares she's finally leaving the relationship she'd been afraid to leave.
Another announces she's starting the business she's dreamed about.
Someone cries.
Everyone laughs.
Women exchange phone numbers.
Plans are made for coffee.
Friendships begin.
As everyone leaves, one woman hugs you and says, "I don't know what I'd do without this group."
And it all started because...
You decided to gather women.
Psst. This really happens ALL the time.
One Circle Changes More Than You Think.
One woman starts a circle.
Eight women attend.
Those women become friends.
They support each other through: Divorce... Cancer... Career changes... Parenting... Grief... Joy...
One decision creates hundreds of conversations that never would have happened.
That's what you're really creating.
Women need each other... and that can start with you.
Circles (or groups) can look a lot of ways:
It's like a buffet of choices! Do you want something more serious and ritualistic? Or maybe something a little more free-flowing where you trade secrets on your favorite hobby or passion? It's all up to you!

Isn't it time to up your game and step into leadership?
This training is different...
This journey is about learning more about you so you can step into deeper connection with yourself, more confidence as a leader, and nurturing relationships with other women.
This is about heart-led leadership.
We believe circles are about WE not ME.
Connection is at the center—not perfection.
You’ll feel seen, supported, and encouraged every step of the way.
We value warmth, inclusivity, and authentic presence.
Remember, this training is live!
This isn't a learn-on-your-own! You'll have plenty of support! We'll meet in an intimate circle where we'll share and learn from each other while building your circle or small group.
If you are a coach or a service provider, circles can:
- Build trust before selling.
- Create deeper client relationships.
- Scale beyond one-on-one.
- Become known as the connector in your community.

No worries—we know life happens. All sessions are recorded and uploaded to the portal so you can catch up at your own pace. You'll also find a written recap and can follow along with your handbook.

If you're ready to lead by the end of the year, this is your moment. Let’s get your circle going now!Will this help me if I’m not quite ready to lead a circle?
YES, absolutely. First, you might discover your inner leader sooner than you think.Second, even if you never lead a formal circle, the skills you’ll gain will ripple through your entire life. You'll learn how to:

How much time should I expect to commit each week?

It’s manageable even with a full schedule—and deeply nourishing.Will I learn to lead online or in-person circles?
Both! This training covers a wide range of circle formats—online, in-person, mixed models, drop-in or closed groups, personal or business-focused.

That’s exactly why this program exists. Leadership in circle doesn’t look like standing at the front of a room barking orders—it’s about presence, listening, intention, and co-creation. We help you connect to your own authentic leadership style—not the one you think you "should" have.Will I get feedback or practice opportunities?
Yes! You’ll have opportunities to practice facilitating in a safe, supportive environment. We’ll hold space for your growth and offer helpful reflections to build your confidence. Plus, those bonus practice circles are gold.What’s included in the bonuses again?

Here's what women say when we ask them:
Why Circles?
"I feel safe and that I am not judged sitting in circle. It gives me space to witness my past wounds, and become more open to myself and others."
Jamie"Sitting in women's circles has given me the opportunity to speak my truth in a safe and supported place. It's a place where every woman has a space to share, feel, be seen and heard, and where we show up to support each other on our journeys. For me, being in a women's circle has brought me immense healing, self-awareness, and confidence to change habits in my life so that I can live the life I want. "
Kelly"I can't imagine going through the challenges I'm facing right now if I didn't have my circle. It keeps me sane and focused on what I truly want. I see my circle as sisters I never had."
Erica"When I write a document, I always need a second pair of eyes on it to help me catch mistakes. I have the same feeling in circles of women. Other women help me interpret my own words, actions, and decisions with perspectives outside my head. I often learn more from witnessing different perspectives. Circle is a place where shame is kept out, while acceptance and encouragement are key which is a space where true transformation can happen."
LaraWhy the Facilitator Program?
"I didn't want to be the leader, but I did want a local circle. Christina gave me the confidence to start the community I was craving and facilitating them is no longer scary -- it's exciting! I've developed deeper connections quicker than I had expected."
Participant"I felt scattered facilitating various groups, and this helped me organize my thoughts and gave me practice to handle challenging group dynamics. Running successful groups requires skill, and practice. I'd say this course is necessary if you run programs or circles."
Maryam, Program Participant"I gained confidence that I could facilitate a Women's Circle. I realized I didn't have to work at leading, but rather being a facilitator was to invite others to share. If you are questioning whether or not you can do this, take the course. You will gain the tools."
Participant in the Facilitator Program"This program helped me to see myself more as a leader and guide, and clarified where I need to improve. I would wholeheartedly encourage any woman to be open and jump in!"
