How To Lead Circle Program
Do you know deep down that you are meant to lead circles of women?
This is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a global movement of sisterhood. You will grow tremendously as a leader, be fulfilled from empowering other women and have the tools to supplement your income.
Want to Start a Circle?
Are you interested in facilitating circles, but afraid that women won’t show up or if they do, they won’t get enough value?
Are you lacking structure, direction and a curriculum to use and so feel a little unsure of yourself?
Are you ready to take the first step in becoming a Sistership Circle Facilitator?
If so, you’ve come to the right place!
In 2013, we developed a 12-week circle curriculum (called The Circle Experience) that has a brilliant structure, is unique from any other circle out there with its emphasis on feminine leadership, and has worked for facilitators who’ve used it all over the world.
Whether you’ve been leading circles for 20 years or have never led a circle in your life, our “How to Lead Circle Program” is step 2 of our six step certification process and teaches the foundation of Sistership Circle.
It takes you through The Circle Experience first hand, gives you a behind-the-scenes look at why the structure works, facilitation experience, and a foundation to apply to your own circles (whether or not you choose to continue the certification process and become a Sistership Circle Facilitator.)
*This program fulfills steps 1 & 2 of the Sistership Circle Facilitator Certification Process.
How the Program Works
The How to Lead Circle Program is divided into two sections. The first section (*week 1 through 6) takes you through key facilitation distinctions so you know what to do and how to be in the leadership seat. The second section (weeks 7 through 12) gives you the opportunity to practice your new found facilitation skills and starting having conversations in your local community so you can start your first monthly circle gathering.
Our Mission
We believe that the power of women gathering in circle is so great that it is how we will change the world. Our mission is to empower the leadership in as many women as possible on this planet. As we become increasingly conscious, we can see the power of collaborating instead of competing with one another and becoming more mindful of our impact on others and the planet.
Imagine if there was a local circle in every town. When women feel seen and heard, they light up. They feel empowered to make a difference. When women work together, magic happens. We are by nature nurturers, connectors and caretakers.
This is why we need women like YOU to raise their hands and be the catalyst for more circles to exist, more places for women to gather and support one another. This program is your first step into your soul’s purpose to empower women by leading them in circles and make a living doing something you love

The Curriculum
The Beginning
Start your circle with a bang. Your first circle sets the tone for all of the circles following so coming prepared and creating a solid structure from the beginning is important.
Circle Call: Self Love
Love yourself as a divine feminine leader with both shadow and light. Love yourself as the woman and leader who you’ve always wanted to be.
The Priestess
Hold space for others to transform and heal. Step into the high priestess archetype to share the medicine of the circle, creating a deep and authentic experience.
Circle Call: Self Acceptance
Accept your power and trust the divine within yourself. Receiving yourself starts with accepting the full package of who you are.
The Wise Woman
You already know intuitively what to do. In fact, you’ve been leading circles for eons. Tap into your ancient roots and trust the inner wisdom that is within you. Reawaken your wise woman.
Circle Call: Self Forgiveness
Explore full forgiveness for everyone who has done you harm, which starts with forgiving yourself. This is the pathway to inner peace and joy.
The Queen
Overcome the old belief system that as the leader you must over-deliver and only give. The new paradigm of feminine leadership has you leading from a place of abundance.
Circle Call: Self Care
Set up a foundation for yourself so that self-care becomes second nature to you instead of something you feel guilty about.
The Mother
How you listen is everything. Embody the mother archetype so everyone feels loved, seen and heard. Your presence alone will open up their ability to be fully self-expressed.
Circle Call: Self Expression
Own your body, feel your body, express your embodiment. Release sexual shame, get in touch with your sensuality and find your creative flow.
The Artist
Create ongoing value and engagement to have women raving about their circle experience with you so much that they are excited to keep attending.
Circe Call: Self Worth
You are divinely compensated for your innate gifts and talents. Looking at the numbers can be difficult and yet the most liberating.
The Visionary
Get crystal clear on your vision for circles in your local city so you naturally attract the right women with ease and grace.
Circle Call: Co-Creative Leadership
You want to make a living leading circles? Then it’s time to own your worth and see the value you bring to your community.
The Warrioress
Once you are committed, the universe will conspire to support you with all that you need to fulfill it. When you make a declaration out loud, watch as everything starts to move.
Circle Call: Healing the Sisterhood Wound
As you are calling in your circle, you may have old sisterhood wounds surface. Women have been catty and competitive as a result of patriarchal structure and it’s time we heal those wounds so you can create a safe, nurturing and loving space for other women to also heal.
The Activator
As you may know from Field of Dreams, “once you build it, they will come.” You’ve set the date, now it’s time to announce your circle and create space for women to say yes.
Circle Call: The Three C’s of Tribe
Commitment, connection and communication are the tenets to create a safe space for people to come together and be vulnerable and authentic with one another. On this call, we will uncover blocks around the three C’s so you are able to effectively spread the word.
The Feminine Leader
As you move closer toward your first circle, it’s important to find the balance between your masculine (taking action and being goal oriented) and you’re feminine (trusting the process and being in flow).
Circle Call: Honoring the Masculine
We all have masculine and feminine qualities within us and being a feminine leader requires integrating them so you are whole and complete within yourself. We’ll explore what your relationship with the masculine has been so you can move into a healthy balance.
The Midwife
The best analogy to starting a circle is the birth process itself. There is a point at which most women meet a wall and want to quit. But once they surrender and trust that the baby is coming out, they finally make it to the final push and give it all they got.
Circle Call: Listening to your inner child
Your little girl has something to say. She lives in your heart and can inspire you to let go and be kind to yourself. You will connect with her on our circle call and have her be an ally for your circle.
The Ceremonialist
Conscious completion is one of the most powerful things missing in today’s society. When you honor the process you went through and acknowledge your successes, failures, excitement and disappointment, you are able to move forward powerfully in your life.
Circle Call: Completion and Celebration
We want to make sure you leave the program with no in-completions and you feel fully acknowledged and celebrated for who you are and the future you are creating. You will experience a power ritual to complete the program.
Past Graduate Testimonials
-
Tanya Lynn really walks her talk. She sincerely wants to share her knowledge, and for other women to get out there and start uplifting other women by hosting Sistership Circles. She has carefully thought out her program and over delivers regarding sharing her experiences. I would not have been able to lead my first circle without Tanya and other course participants “having my back.” Thank you Tanya, for helping to start the next wave in history of the movement to liberate women.

When Tanya calls herself an activator, I found this to be so true of my experience. I feel like this was the obvious next step along my path in stepping into a greater responsibility in assisting other women through their spiritual awakenings. The gentle unfolding and healing that has taken place under Tanya’s mentorship has been a huge gift and allowed me to take a deeper peek into the shadowy places that hadn’t been yet revealed. I’m emerging from this program with more clarity and even more on purpose for a mission that I thought I was connected to ~ after this, I understand that connection in a deeper, even more conscious way.

“Attending How to Lead Circle Program was a deep experience for me. I value the open, respectful and supportive community with women all over the world. There is a clear structure and plenty of valuable materials in the course and our facilitator lead us with a lot of experience, passion, respect and love trough the circles. This course definitely empowers me to start my own women’s circle in a well prepared and confident way. I highly recommend it.” ~ Johanna Leon
The program consists of:
1) weekly video content that you watch/listen to on your own time and
2) a weekly circle call to see the application of what we talked about in the video and connect with like-minded ambitious feminine leaders like yourself. You can find the upcoming times available at the enrollment page here.
This program came into your awareness right now for a reason. If you feel a resonance, make one of the times work (remember you can always listen to the recordings if you need to miss a call). Commitment takes boldness and the universe always conspires with those who take the leap of faith.
There’s never the perfect time and you are never really “ready” for any big changes that come in your life (marriage, baby, etc). Life will always be full and you will always doubt whether this is the right time.
But if you absolutely cannot do this right now, we will open enrollment again soon. You can request a call time by writing to admin@sistershipcircle.com.
Circle does not require you to have yourself together or wear a mask. In fact, this circle that I lead is about you learning how to reveal yourself and come more into your wholeness as a woman. This means you are able to show up no matter how you feel and allow yourself to be seen in your beauty AND your messy.
This is a new type of leadership. When you learn how to play your full range of emotion, you start to build confidence. When you allow this circle to see your vulnerability, that’s when you start to transform the fear and doubt that you are not good enough … because the women will mirror back to you that they still love and accept you even when you are messy.
I’ve had women fall apart in our leadership circle and then come out on the other end more aligned and embodied in their truth. This is the place to discover your truth. This is what happened to me a few years ago when I showed up on the calls I was leading in tears, completely embarrassed that I couldn’t get myself together. But this is when I really found myself and created a balance between my masculine and feminine powers.
You don’t have to be an expert to lead circle. You just need to be real. And that’s what we are going to teach you and have you experience within yourself. My first circle: I had NO idea what I was doing. But the women trusted me and showed up because I was authentic about it.
If you absolutely cannot do it starting this month, then we will have more start dates throughout the year. You just won’t have the discount that is available today.
Leading circle is not about doing more but about expanding your capacity to be present and hold more energetically. It is not about you “doing” circle but about showing up, being authentic and receiving what you need to fill up.
When you learn to show up despite all the noise going on in your world, clear it, become present, and then drop in to connect, you start to recognize that you have power over your circumstances and you don’t have to get caught up in the drama of life. You also learn how to create more space for yourself by being in this program and create boundaries and speak your needs. This may be why your plate feels full (you are serving everyone else and never giving yourself the much needed break and self-care). Come learn this new model of feminine leadership with us.
To give you some perspective, when we facilitate The Circle Experience in our local cities, we meet from 6:30 – 9pm, spending about 3 hours including travel time per week. This program requires less than three hours/week.
The video content is less than 30 minutes/week and since you have lifetime membership to all the course material, you can visit it at any time, and are available via audio to listen in the car or at the gym.
Each circle call is 90 minutes. The best way to manage your time is to schedule it; make an appointment in your calendar to block off an hour each week to watch the video, do the playsheets, and interact in the forum. Treat it as a date and make it fun!
First, we want to preface that you can easily do this as a self-study course and opt-out of the weekly calls altogether. That is perfectly acceptable! Become a member of the Facilitator Tribe membership and you’ll receive access to the 6-week video module course.
The way it is designed, however, is to be on the circle calls so you can experience the facilitation distinctions in action. If you want to connect in sisterhood with other like-minded women leaders, we recommend picking one of the call times and committing to that circle call time (to create the safe space).
If you need to miss one or two calls, no problem! This happens all the time. You have two options: you’ll be able to listen to the recording or you can be a guest on one of the other call times for that week. We have a structure for this that will be explained during the program.
This program is the first step on the path to becoming a Sistership Circle certified facilitator and use our licensed curriculum. It is the perfect place to taste test Sistership Circle at a low price point to then decide whether you want to take it all the way or use what you learned to start leading small monthly circles (or even apply it to other group work, leading retreats, etc.)
We are teaching you how to become a better facilitator; how you choose to use that skill is up to you … We are committed to you leading circles with or without a certification and we will give you a framework to use right away.
That’s not a problem. In fact, we encourage women with no experience to join this program to gain the confidence and experience! You’ve got to start somewhere and this is the place! We’ve had women who have a 9-5 corporate job take our training with no facilitation experience and are now leading their own circles.
It really depends on what your goals are. If you have been leading free circles and want to start getting paid what you are worth, then this training will help you create value with a proven system and structure that women will have no issue paying for. We’ve had women join our training who had experience leading circles, but needed support with creating a sustainable business model. We’ve had hundreds of women happily pay to be in our circle programs and some say we actually do not charge enough for the amount of value.
If you have been leading circles on your own and have hit a plateau, or are tired of being on your own and looking to collaborate and partner with other powerful leaders, then this training will give you the infrastructure to grow and be part of a global movement. We have senior positions available to become a trainer, which if you have been leading circles for a while, may be your next step. This course is prerequisite training to be on our team.
This is probably the biggest thing holding some of you back. You are afraid you will fail, that this program won’t actually support you in stepping into fulfilling this dream, and that at the end of the day, you aren’t cut out for leadership.
We are holding you to your greatness and won’t let you slide down that slippery slope of fear, doubt and worry.
I believe ANY woman can lead circle and trust me, I’ve seen it over and over again. When you step into this circle and have my guidance and a group of other women cheering you on, holding you accountable, ANYTHING is possible. I truly believe it, when you shift your mindset and believe with your whole heart and soul. When you let go and TRUST the process, something opens up and you are guided by the goddess.
We are here to activate what you need for your healing, growth and expansion. Maybe you won’t start a circle by the end of the program, but you will awaken to your power. You will know yourself as someone who can … and that may be a few months afterwards. There is divine timing in everything, but that doesn’t mean you should wait until you are more “qualified” to do this program.
No, we do not offer payment plans for a couple of reasons. What we have found is that when you do a payment plan, you will attract more women who have money blocks and won’t sign up for your circle. So it is the first step in you claiming your own self-worth and creating the space for women to also pay in full.
The second reason is that when you have more skin in the game, you value it more. We want you to be 100% all in and by paying in full, it shows your full commitment.
If you have any other questions or feeling resistance and really want to move through it, then I highly recommend emailing me at support@sistershipcircle.com so I can support you.
You can live in the “someday one day I’ll do that” conversation that most people succumb to, or you can cease the day, take the leap and thank me later for pushing you out of your comfort zone. Those who take action despite resistance are the ones who have the lives of their dreams. Our team has your back every step of the way to support you in rising up to your full potential and claiming this desire to feel empowered as a feminine leader.
