Gather in sacred community, in rhythm with the moon

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 join the At The Well Collective, you’ll gain access to our Well Circle Starter Kit for guidance on how to start a Well Circle of your own and also help support our work as an organization.

For gatherings hosted by At The Well, such as our Global New Moon Circles, the ticket price allows us to sustain these nourishing monthly offerings. (Members of the At The Well Collective get access to Global New Moon Circles, as well as members-only Full Moon Circles, for free.)

Each of the hundreds of Well Circles around the globe first started with someone like you, a circle igniter! For community support and guided resources as you begin your circle, our Well Circle Starter Kit is available when you become a member of the At The Well Collective. If you’d like, you can also announce your circle-in-formation (all you need is a free account!) 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! (To learn how to start your circle, check out our Well Circle Starter Kit, available when you become a member of the At The Well Collective.) If you’d like, you can create a free account in the Collective to announce your circle-in-formation and find wonderful new folks to gather with!

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 Well Circles seeking new members. If you find one that meets your needs, create a free account in the At The Well Collective to message the organizer. Together you can discover whether it’s a great match.

Not seeing a circle near you? Your free account also allows you to create a post of your own to let others know what you’re looking for!

There are several possibilities:

• Ask our community! It’s possible that a Well Circle that isn’t actively seeking new members is still open to new faces — create your free account in the At The Well Collective to make your own post letting folks know what you’re looking for.
• Start a Well Circle of your own! The At The Well Collective has lots of resources and support for you — plus, you can announce your new Circle to find wonderful new folks to gather with.
• Come to one of our Global New Moon Circles. These monthly virtual events are like Well Circles for people all over the world. It’s an inspiring dose of community!
