Well Circles are our favorite nourishing new moon practice! Each Well Circle is an independently organized group of 6-12 people who meet together around the new moon. Through group conversation and ritual, coupled with personal inquiry, you can connect more deeply with yourself, your circle, and these ancient traditions.

We called them “Well Circles” because of how powerful they are for your well-being! Participants say things like, “Knowing I have a space that's sacred, where we can share and be seen, has improved my life and my mental and emotional health.”

Some Well Circles meet in-person, some are fully virtual, and others are a hybrid model. Some meet on the new moon itself, and others choose to meet on a specific day of the week to make scheduling easier. There’s no one way to do things. We know you’ll find a path that works for you and your circle, and of course, we are here to support you along your journey.

It is free to start or join an independently run Well Circle! (Each circle decides together on whether and how to spend money on snacks and supplies for their gatherings.) If you purchase our guide Full Circle: The Essential Guide to Creating a Well Circle of Your Own, you’ll gain deeper information and also help support our work as an organization.

For gatherings hosted by At The Well, such as our Global New Moon Circles, Trans & Nonbinary Well Circle, and POC Well Circle, the ticket price (or a donation of your choice) allows us to sustain these nourishing monthly offerings.

Each of the hundreds of Well Circles around the globe first started with someone like you, a circle igniter!

If you’d like, you can also announce your circle-in-formation on our website to find wonderful new folks to gather with! 

That would be wonderful! Each Well Circle is independently organized, and each has its own composition. Craft a space you’d love to be a part of!

Some Well Circles are intergenerational within families. Consider inviting your mother, daughter, sister, cousins, etc., to join you in this ritual!

Take a look at the list of open Well Circles, each of which is currently looking for new members. If you find one that meets your needs, you’ll be able to reach out to the organizer. Together you can discover whether it’s a great match.

There are several possibilities:
