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.

The At The Well Collective is our new community space for women and nonbinary people looking to ground their lives in the intentional rhythms of sacred time. The Collective contains community spaces to help you connect both on- and off-line, as well as teachings, rituals, and monthly events to bring the cycles of the moon into your daily life.

Inside the Collective, you’ll find:

• Early Access to Moon Manuals. Our most-requested offering is finally coming true!
• Year-Long Ritual Library. Meditations, movement, and journaling to meet you in each Hebrew month—no prior experience needed.
• Moon Messages. Gentle teachings that arrive right on time for moon phases and holidays—so you can stay connected even on busy days.
• FREE Global New Moon Circles. Gather each month to reset, reflect, and be held. Free for members, with replay available!
• Members-Only Full Moon Circles. Share, integrate, and deepen in community.
• Rosh Chodesh mini-course. Learn to live by sacred time in a grounded, accessible way.
• Community threads + DMs. Find kindred spirits, ask questions, and discover folks near you for in-person circles.

And so much more!

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.

Yes — and so much more! The community resources and connection of the At The Well Collective are hosted within our own signature app, available for iPhone and Android. Or, access the Collective on your computer via any web browser.

Each of the hundreds of Well Circles around the globe first started with someone like you, a circle igniter! To learn how to start your circle, check out Full Circle: The Essential Guide to Creating a Well Circle of Your Own. If you’d like, you can also announce your circle-in-formation on our website to find wonderful new folks to gather with! 

Our Global New Moon Circles generally take place on weekday evenings at 8-9:30pm ET / 5-6:30pm PT. We hope you'll join us live for the richest experience. But if life or time zones make that difficult, you can enjoy a replay. (Breakout groups will not be recorded.)

You'll be right at home. Everything we create is made to welcome you and feel accessible.
