Welcome to
THE ROSE CIRCLE
A monthly gathering for women who have
been changed by cancer - and are finding their
way back to themselves.
THE ROSE CIRCLE
created for the season after treatment ends
A place to gather, share honestly, and be met in the in-between - with quiet support and space to be witnessed in what’s still unfolding.
THE ROSE CIRCLE?
The Rose Circle is a monthly gathering for women navigating life after cancer.
It was created for the season after treatment ends, when the appointments become less frequent, the world expects you to move on, and yet you're still making sense of everything you've lived through.
You may be grieving the life you had, learning to trust your body again, questioning who you are now, or simply longing to be with women who truly understand what you have moved through.
Whatever you're carrying, you are welcome here.
Together, we gather in a warm, supportive space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect - with ourselves and with one another.
Through guided conversation, gentle mindfulness, journaling, seasonal rituals, and shared stories, The Rose Circle offers ongoing support for the emotional journey that continues long after treatment is over.
WHY THE ROSE CIRCLE?
Because healing doesn't end when treatment does.
Because being surrounded by women who truly understand can be profoundly healing.
Because you deserve a place where you don't have to explain yourself, hold everything together, or pretend you're "back to normal."
This is not about fixing who you are.
It's about honoring what you've been through, making space for who you're becoming, and continuing to grow - one season, one conversation, one gathering at a time.
You don't have to walk this part of the journey alone.
And like a rose, healing unfolds in its own time. This is a place to grow, gently and together.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Every circle follows a gentle structure while allowing space for authentic conversation and whatever feels most present that evening.
Together, we'll begin by arriving - taking a moment to settle into the space, reconnect with ourselves, and leave the busyness of everyday life at the door. From there, you'll be invited into guided reflection, meaningful conversation, and shared connection in a way that feels safe and supportive.
Throughout the evening, you may experience:
-
Guided discussion and gentle facilitation
-
Reflective journaling and self-inquiry
-
Mindfulness and grounding practices
-
Seasonal or symbolic rituals
-
Time for connection and conversation
There is never any pressure to share more than feels comfortable.
Whether you choose to speak, listen, or simply be present, your experience will be honoured with compassion and respect.
Above all, The Rose Circle is a place where you don't have to carry your story alone. Healing is not only something that happens within us - it also happens when we are witnessed, understood, and reminded that we belong.
THIS CIRCLE IS FOR WOMEN WHO...
-
Have completed cancer treatment and are wondering, "Now what?"
-
Feel like life has changed, but are still discovering who they are becoming.
-
Long for meaningful connection & conversation with women who truly understand.
-
Are looking for a gentle, supportive space to continue healing - emotionally, mentally, and personally.
-
Want to move forward with greater self-trust, hope, and connection.
These offerings are intended for women who have completed active cancer treatment and are emotionally ready to participate in a supportive group setting. They may not be appropriate for individuals experiencing a mental health crisis or requiring a higher level of therapeutic or medical care. If you're unsure whether this group is the right fit, please reach out to discuss your needs before registering.
OUR SHARED AGREEMENTS...
The Rose Circle is built on trust, compassion, and mutual respect. Together, we help create a space where every woman feels safe to show up just as she is.
-
We honour confidentiality by keeping what is shared within the circle private.
-
We listen with curiosity and compassion rather than trying to solve or fix one another's experiences.
-
We respect that every healing journey is unique, and we welcome each story without comparison or judgment.
-
We share only what feels comfortable, knowing that listening is just as valuable as speaking.
We honour each woman's choices and journey. Every experience with cancer, treatment, healing, and life afterward is different, and there is no one "right" way to navigate it.
Each gathering is intentionally kept small to create a warm, supportive space
for connection. Upcoming dates are shared on the website.
A GENTLE NOTE:
The Rose Circle is intended to complement - not replace - the care you receive from your physician, oncologist, mental health professional, or healthcare team.
These offerings provide a supportive space for emotional healing, connection, reflection, and community after cancer treatment. They are not medical treatment, psychotherapy for acute mental health concerns, or crisis services.
If you have concerns about your physical or mental health, we encourage you to speak with your healthcare provider.
