Connect in sisterhood and discover a deeper embodiment of yourself

✨ Rooted in Radiance ✨

A women’s circle series for women in Cincinnati who desire to make meaningful, in-person friendship (Jan-March 2026)
COMPRESSED-Zest-2024-175

You’re a woman in Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky who’s been desiring deeper friendships.

Maybe you’ve gone to the make-a-friend dinners and events but you don’t feel like you’re deeply connecting in those settings.

Maybe you’ve experienced the deep connection that women’s circles have to offer but one-off experiences don’t give you consistency of a core community.

You’re open to exploring what’s within yourself that might be standing in the way of your desire of deeper friendship and you want to go on this journey with other women who want to do the same.

If you’re resonating with these words, I’m so glad you’re here because this is exactly why I created this series.

What gets in the way of a woman’s radiance and connection with other women?

As adults, a lot of us get trapped into believing that it’s just too hard to make friends now. But there’s also bigger societal things at play.

 

You’re living in a society that is Patriarchal and Capitalistic. And what these systems teach women is:

 

  • That we’re not inherently worthy and that our worth instead comes from things like: beauty, youth, ability to flirt, wealth, etc
  • That we need to be perfect and have our sh*t together all the time… even if we’re raising kids and doing 764597348 things.
  • That we are in competition with one another
  • That we should be able to comfortably exist in schedules that don’t take into consideration our changing internal seasons during the course of a month (and/or the changing external phases of the moon throughout the month!)
  • That it’s unsafe to fall apart
  • That we need to be constantly growing and being better than last year no matter how much our bodies might be protesting

 

…I could keep going but in a nutshell: We’re taught to disconnect from our worth and truth which dims our radiance and we’re taught to disconnect/distrust other women which dims our radiance even more.

 

This series is here to address all of this so that you can discover the magnetic feeling of embodying that you are worthy, deserving, and that you belong in collective sisterhood.

 

I’m so excited for you and I’m excited to see how your presence in this journey adds a unique magic to this experience.

The transformation I'm holding for you on the other end of this series...

Imagine being able to experience:

🌹More radical self acceptance for all of your humanity, including the messy, because of the support you receive in circle and because from witnessing in circle, you know now that ALL of us go through things and nobody is perfect 

🔥 Confident expressing your desires and taking up space because you now have evidence of having done that multiple times with other women in a way that was celebrated!

💧Shared memories of a personal development experience with a friend you already have in your life or a new friend you meet in circle that leads to a long-lasting connection

🌿 More depth within female friendship and living a life where you’re increasingly having the girl hangouts of your dreams!

🔥 The embodied feelings of relief from hearing another woman share something that you’re also going through but have been holding back on acknowledging or sharing.

All of this comes from the sacred practice of women gathering in circle with a shared intention and community agreements.

How it works:

First and foremost, there are community agreements to this space which are as follows:

COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS

You are welcomed as you are. As is all of your emotions, thoughts, feelings, sensations... all of what is true for you is welcomed

Confidentiality: Any shares on this call remain confidential and you agree to not share other people's experiences after this call (I also do not record the call when we get to the sharing portion of the call and I don't use any AI transcribers for the call either)

Choice/ Sovereignty: You have the choice, always to opt-in or out of anything offered in the circle. Everything offered is simply an invitation

Self Care: At anytime, you may get up and leave your zoom screen for any and all self care needs without needing to ask. You take care of you ❤️

Pause: You are welcomed and encouraged to call a pause at any time during the circle and everything will stop and we will breathe with you. 

No fixing/advice giving: When someone shares with you, I want to encourage you to be a safe space to just listen and NOT to "fix" them, coach them, etc. The point of sharing in a women's circle is to really be witnessed and held and giving people advice or tips can feel very unsafe when it's unsolicited 

If and only if you agree to ALL of these agreements, then this is the space for you. (I ask this question on the application!)

 

Our journey together will include 8 weekly women’s circles facilitated across 10-weeks to give the journey a bit of spaciousness. (See schedule below) These circles will be in-person in Cincinnati, OH and the exact location will be given to confirmed members.

 

Each circle will be 2 hours long. In case of inclement weather, there might be a circle or two that ends up being online. 

 

In between circles, I’ll be giving you themes, journaling prompts, and action steps to be in the work of opening yourself up to deeper sisterhood.

Who it’s for:

  • Women in Cincinnati, OH who desire deep friendship. There’s no age limit to this group as I believe inter-generational friendships are important for women.
  • Women who’ve already been on some sort of path of self development since there will be an element of going through some personal work in-between circles
  • When you think of this experience of sitting in circle, you’re not only thinking of the witnessing you will get or how you will be seen and held but you are also ready to give that same witnessing to others. Sometimes we can be at a chapter in our journey where we don’t have the capacity for that and that’s okay but this space wouldn’t be for us at this time.

Investment:

  • This 10-week space is $597 or $199 x 3 monthly payments
  • 9 spots are available
  • 2 spots will be set aside for partial scholarship

Please use this graph to see if you qualify for financial accommodation. 

Partial scholarship is based off of the honor system and offered on a first-come-first-serve basis. Please keep in mind that taking a partial scholarship spot takes a spot away from someone else who might be in need of it.

Testimonials

This is my first time hosting this space but here are two testimonials from women who were in a 6-month circle series I did online in 2024 where we were all online business owners desiring to work on our beliefs around money.

"Being in spaces like this is so supportive because you realize 'it's not just me'"

Stephanie appreciated how everyone was met where they were at and how I had structure while also being present to what was happening in the group to make adjustments along the way.

"What surprised my the most was how the relationships with the other women in my cohort helped to expand my experience'"

Jillian appreciated my thoughtful, provoking questions that gave her a spiritual experience.

Hi, I'm Cilia!

I’m Cilia and I’ll be the keeper of this sacred space. I describe myself as the wise woman by the fire for women with a history of toxic relationships. I do this work full time as a Certified Female Sexuality Coach, Certified Sex, Love, and Relationship Coach, and Certified Womb Circle Facilitator.

When you take the depth of a women’s circle and you come to it consistently with the same group for an intentional amount of time, it’s a beautiful place to receive a lifelong friend from.

I first experienced this in online women’s circles beginning in 2021 specifically working on the sister wound.

Then in Jan 2023 I joined more online experiences that spanned to 1, 2, and almost 3 years from women who were in the same coaching certification program as I was. These online spaces extended into in-person get togethers that were the girl hangouts of my dreams and I know I’ll be friends with these women forever.

When I moved to Cincinnati, I quickly found out that women’s circles were my favorite place to connect and I was reminded of the power of consistency when I found my consistent monthly group with the same core of women.

This space goes even deeper because we’ll meet more frequently and you’ll be given internal work as an invitation to do the personal development work to open up your capacity even more to being seen and seeing others within sisterhood.

To protect the space, I do ask that everyone apply and have a short 1:1 call with me before we both decide if it’s a yes. Start your process by completing your application below:

The Invitation // What to do if you're a yes:
  1. Fill out an application (buttons are all throughout this page)
  2. I check applications M-F and you'll get an email from me to set up a 15-20min 1:1 call so we can meet, you can ask me questions and we can both be sure that it's a YES on both sides 
  3. Secure your spot with a deposit
