Case Study

Is this a flower shop?
No, Baring Petals simply means to unveil your true self. It means to be authentic to yourself and others. It invites you to obtain the courage to grow from a bud to a flower.

Baring Petals encourages you to bare and embrace your uniqueness, in order to attract what is meant to be for you. The concept name was inspired by the main function of flower petals. Petals attract insects for pollination, which is a necessary step for growth. Baring Petals curates spaces for people to gather with others and experience a sense of belonging. These spaces can allow participants to re-center as they dive deep into their life journey and to remember that they do not have to do it alone. Although Baring Petals focuses on Women’s Circles, it also acknowledges the call to open Men’s Circles and Kid’s Circles.

Monica’s Training

About Women’s Circles

An invitation to come back to self and remember humanity through each other!

A women’s circle is created intentionally for women to gather and feel seen, heard, validated, and own their worth. The terms woman/women/her/she are used, but this extends to all female-identifying and non-binary people. There is no hierarchy within the circles, as all participants hold equal power and importance. It allows all participants to sit in their truths and no one is there to offer advice or persuasion.

It is a space for a woman to just be and be reminded of who she is and let go of what she is told to be. The trained facilitator is there to ensure that the space is free of judgment, pressure, and competition. The facilitator is trained to use trauma sensitive language and understands the fundamentals of women’s circles, the history of women’s circles, the basics of breathwork and journaling, how to set boundaries, and how to keep the circle safe.

Women’s circles are not therapy sessions, but participants are guided to work on nervous system regulation and journal triggers that can be taken to a licensed therapist. Participants are also given mental health resources and information. Baring Petals believes that we can remember humanity through each other!
