A Yaga Circle offers structured, sacred time for women to connect and to grow. The success of the circle is based on shared intentions, and on Yaga processes and ritual. These things create emotional safety in a nonjudgmental atmosphere and create a powerful place for women to call home. Central to the existence of the Inner Yaga, Yaga Circles beautifully expand the work women begin in the Inner Yaga Training.
The Yaga Circle training is held early each winter after the Inner Yaga Training. Yaga Circle training dates are decided by participants. The Inner Yaga training and the Circle training are prerequisites for on-going participation in a Yaga Circle.
For a glimpse into Inner Yaga Circles, we offer Open Circles at various dates and locations. The Open Circle is an existing circle that invites new women to visit a meeting of their circle. They are warm and interactive, offering a chance to ask questions and hear experiences. Learn more about the work we do and learn about the Inner Yaga Training! To send an inquiry about dates and location, please send us a message with your location, contact information, and what information you would like to receive. You can also see the list of locations below to check if there is an Open Circle soon! We encourage you to contact us if you do not see an Open Circle in your area.

Circle Visitor Policy
Visiting a Yaga Circle is a wonderful way to take steps down the path to self-discovery. If you are invited to visit a Yaga Circle, you may attend up to four meetings. At that time, we ask whether you would like to commit to joining the circle. If you make a verbal commitment to attend the Inner Yaga training, and when the application opens, you apply for the Inner Yaga Training and our Circle Training, you are welcome to continue attending.
