THE CIRCLE REVOLUTION

The book club for your real life. 

FIND A CIRCLE

Think about the best book club conversation you've ever had. The moment someone finally says the thing everyone was thinking and suddenly the whole room wakes up. That’s Femnest. Except nobody’s reading a book. We’re talking about the chapters you’re actually living. Career pivots. Perimenopause. Parenting teenagers. Relationships that shift after twenty years. Sometimes there’s an expert in the room who knows something you genuinely need to know.

Sometimes it’s an honest conversation about the thing everyone’s navigating but nobody’s naming. Sometimes it’s a woman telling her story and half the room realizing they’ve been living the same one. That’s when the real conversation starts.

what is femnest?

Women are carrying around a lot of things they rarely get a real place to talk about. The career that no longer fits. The body that suddenly feels unfamiliar. Parenting teenagers. Aging parents. Money. Friendship. The relationship that has changed after twenty years.

We read the articles. We listen to the podcasts. We think about it in the car. Femnest is where we finally get to talk about it.

Sometimes an expert brings information we genuinely need. Sometimes one woman’s story opens the door. Sometimes one very specific question gets everyone thinking out loud. And sometimes we gather around an experience that gives us a completely different way in.

Not therapy. Not networking. Not a support group.

Book club energy for the life you’re actually living.

The Four Circle Types

JUST POPPING IN

02. Talking Circles

One very specific question goes on the table. The kind women are already thinking about but rarely get to talk about honestly. A Circle Hostess guides the room so everyone has space to speak and listen. No lectures. No fixing. Just women thinking out loud together. Talking Circles are 75 minutes.

03. Story Circles

A woman’s personal story—or sometimes a film, book, or podcast—gets us into the room. We listen, then follow the part that stays with us into a bigger conversation. It isn’t about teaching, debating, or picking the story apart. The story opens the door. What women say after is the magic. Story Circles are 75 minutes.

01. Learning Circles

An expert brings the useful part: about twenty minutes of information on something women genuinely want to understand. Then we do what a podcast can’t—we talk about what it means in our actual lives. The learning matters. The conversation is still the point. Learning Circles are 90 minutes.

04. Experience Circles

Sometimes doing something together gives us a completely different way in. We might gather around a meal, try something creative, learn something hands-on, slow down, move, make, taste—or do something we simply thought would be fun to do together. The experience gets us into the room. The conversation is woven through it. Experience Circles are separately priced and usually run 90 minutes to two hours.

What A Circle Is Actually Like

If you've never been to a circle before, here's what to expect.

Most regular circles are small—usually eight to ten women—and guided by a Circle Hostess. Some happen on Zoom. Some happen in person. We settle in, move into one clear topic, and make room for everyone to speak and listen.

Experience Circles look a little different. We might gather around a meal, a wellness practice, something creative or hands-on, or simply something that sounds fun to do together. The experience gives us another way into the conversation.

You do not need to prepare anything, have the perfect answer, or share more than you want to. You can talk, listen, think out loud, change your mind, or simply take it all in.

The thing women seem most surprised by is how normal it feels. Not heavy. Not weird. Just a room full of women finally talking about something real.

MEMBERSHIP

WANT TO COME REGULARLY?

If you come to a circle and think, I want more of this, membership makes it easy to keep coming. Members see new circles first, and regular Talking, Story, and Learning Circles are included—so you can RSVP for the conversations that call you without buying another ticket every time.

You’ll also have the Inner Work Library and our private member space. Experience Circles are priced separately, although members may receive special pricing.

START WITH ONE CIRCLE

NEW HERE?

Start with the circle that makes you stop scrolling. Maybe it’s something you’ve been thinking about for months. Maybe it’s something you want to understand better. Maybe it just sounds like a really good time.

You don’t have to come looking for community or know exactly what you’re looking for. Come once. See what it feels like. No membership, no bigger decision, and no need to know anyone in the room.
