Women’s Support Circle provide a safe space for healing and growth. This circle utilizes a strengths-based, supportive approach interwoven with culturally responsive frameworks such as Te Whare Tapa Wha to emphasize interconnected wellbeing across mental, physical, spiritual, and familial domains and the Tree of Life model, that encourages reflection on personal strengths, resources, and support systems.
Exploring holistic wellbeing through expressive arts, participants can explore their experiences nonverbally, as well as verbally, this can foster safety, while creating transformation. Integrating these frameworks, the circle aims to empower women to reclaim their narratives, cultivate resilience and creativity, and foster a sense of agency in their healing journeys.
This established 12-week programme has been offered through the Shiloh Creative Life Centre Charitable Trust since 2021. Shiloh’s team are in collaboration with Maclaurin Chapel @ Auckland University to offer this circle for women seeking support in a therapeutic, safe community circle of women.
Our weekly contact consists of nine on-line two-hour zoom calls on Wednesday evenings, 6:30-8:30pm and 3 in-person Wednesday evening gatherings @ Maclaurin Chapel at Auckland University to support womens’ in connecting together, and encouraging friendships to be formed. Throughout the programme women will be supported to explore life issues creatively to enhance overall well-being. Coming together in a safe space, women can experience a sense of belonging, release stress and creative restoration within a community that enhances their lives.
