Our Values

AWARENESS
We move through life awake. Awake to our thoughts, feelings and sensations, and to what is happening around us. We look deeply and learn to trust our own ability to see and know, instead of being overly reliant on others' opinions. We support one another to remember this.
COMPASSION
We consider what others (human and other-than-human) may be experiencing, with curiosity and kindness. We support one another to remember this.
RESPONSIBILITY
We consider the ripple effect of our actions on others, our Earth and who we want to be. We explore our response-ability for our own emotions. We support one another to remember this.

My daughter has gained so much from Kimberlee and Julie's mentorship and we saw huge, positive changes in her confidence and well-being, even after just a couple of weeks.
It is really beautiful to witness the girls share their journeys/initiation into womanhood together
This is an awesome place to be. I'd be happy to say you are my guardian angels. Thank you for releasing my pain
Dear Julie and Kimberlee, Can you please do another girls' circle next year? I love it so much!
Dear Julie and Kimberlee, you two are the best people ever. I really don't want these lessons to end, but I guess it has to end sometime, right? Keep livin' your best life!
We are blown away by how wonderful the circling has been for our daughter and would (and do!) recommend it for any young girl.
I really appreciate the efforts you are both going to to create such a valuable and enriching journey for our young girls.
This is what is needed for our young women. A place to feel accepted and supported, with fantastic facilitators who can guide them the right way. Has changed my daughter's life for the better. Thank you Circle of Girls Bellingen.
