The Process
apply
Complete a short application form below. Sage Circles are intentionally small, so we ask a few questions to ensure the group feels aligned and supportive for everyone involved.
Get Matched
You can request a specific circle, or we’ll place you based on geography and group fit. Our aim is to create balanced, grounded containers… not just fill seats.
Attend your first circle
Join your first 2-hour gathering. Circles meet once per month in a consistent home-based setting. This first meeting is an opportunity to experience the container and see if it resonates.
Grow in community
Sage Circles are not drop-in events. They are small, recurring spaces where presence and consistency matter. Over time, familiarity builds trust. Trust builds depth. The intention is not just to attend but to build connection, self-awareness and community together.
