When Women Gather
a women’s circle
in-person Saturday, December 14th | 12pm-5pm
About When Women Gather
Ancestrally, we as women have been gathering for generations - in fire lit caves, sacred spaces, on shorelines and deep in jungles, nature held us as we held one another.
There once was a time when we collectively embraced our embodiment of the cosmos and synced in rhythm to the natural world.
With the change in seasons and phases of the moon, it was understood that our physical and emotional bodies waxed and waned, gestated and birthed.
We respected the need to withdraw in winter and dance in summer, to rebirth in spring and work in fall.
Productivity and profit were measured internally by the closeness one felt to Spirit and the close-knit relationships that were fostered amongst other women.
Communing and circling with other women is in our bloodline - it is our collective birthright and an integral part of fulfilling our own individual destiny.
It is an ancient call to the part of our spirit that will always yearn to be fed through the love of a beloved community.
When Women Gather is our answer to that hunger.
When Women Gather is a space of security, intentionality, and trust for kindred spirits to be heard and seen.
In circle, we are equal and authentic - a place to cultivate inner strength through the vulnerability of actively sharing with one another.
In circle, we believe in the wisdom of each woman on her walk to Wholeness - that underneath the details of her story, she possesses her own answers to the questions that she asks.
In circle, there is nothing to fix or do - a space free of judgement and overflowing with support, we are in the constant practice of loving kindness towards Self and one another.
At each gathering, you can expect:
a 60-minute gentle yoga practice intended for all levels
unlimited access to 10-acres of nature trails & meditation walks
nourishing provisions & beverages
a 2.5-hour ritual & ceremony infused with music, story-telling, readings, dialogue, meditation & more
Investment is $77.
If you are in need of creative financial options, please reach out to Chanel directly at heal@chanelvanzant.com
Our event will take place primarily outdoors (weather permitting) on our family’s residence of ten-acres in Dover, FL.
We hope you can join us to witness the power that beholds When Women Gather.
In peace and in love,
CVG
Past event-lovers want you to know…
“This experience is still taking place within and I have not been able to find words. I really appreciate the time and energy put into creating such an experience. Meeting my maiden and having her take the lead was a step that I did not realize needed to be taken. Life has pushed and pulled us all into many directions and places, slowing down and having a day full of love and release was needed.”

“3 words to summarize this experience…OPENING, NOURISHING & LIFE-CHANGING".”

“I felt so much love and intention long before I even arrived with the warm and supportive communication before the event. Chanel’s sacred space was the perfect container for healing and I felt her care in every detail. I was moved by her guidance through meditation and our visualization exercise. I enjoyed sitting in circle with other women and holding space for one another. I am mostly inspired by Chanel’s vulnerability and shares as it set the tone for a deeply healing event.”

There’s no place like home
Our retreat will take place on our family residence of ten-acres in Dover, Florida. Weather permitting, we will enjoy time both inside and outside for our event. Located just a half hour outside of Downtown Tampa, you’ll be surrounded by tropical forest in our lush safe haven. Free of artificial noise and light pollution, you're invited to detoxify and unplug with us and the abundance of other plant and animal species on our property. A professional milestone reached, Chanel has dreamed of hosting healing events at home since she began teaching in 2015.
Have a question?
“A circle of women may just be the most powerful force known to humanity.
If you have one, embrace it.
If you need one, seek it.
If you find one, for the love of all that is good and holy, dive in.
Hold on.
Love it up.
Get Naked.
Let them see you.
Let them hold you.
Let your reluctant tears fall.
Let yourself rise fierce and love gentle.
You will be changed.
The very fabric of your being will be altered by this, if you allow it.
Please, please allow it.”
― Jeanette LeBlanc

From my experience, women today lack the secure space to let it all go. With pressure to perform and keep it all together, I personally craved a space amongst women where I could be seen. To speak freely and openly. To be heard and not fixed. I have found that when women gather we begin to hear the same stories with different details. We realize that we have more in common than we think.
This circle asks that all participants come with an open mind and a willingness to be vulnerable. This space can only go as deep as those participating.
I love nothing more than holding sacred space for women to hear and remember their True Nature. This event is that, amplified.
