There are many things to love here. From the grounded, calming energy Ms. Strong emanates, to the clear and efficient delivery of information that still manages to retain an organic, conversational feel. But the part that summarizes it best is from the intro of each episode: “steward of the long lost art of connection.” That is exactly what you will find here. Not just a stewardship but a revival of this lost piece of humanity. More than a simple call to connect, Leila provides gentle, but sure footed guidance on how to achieve it. It feels deceptively simple, but that is because it is a sincere delivery of a truth—connection IS simple; and Leila reminds us that connection can be both a gentle practice and a powerful experience. I would encourage anyone questioning if they should start, join, or otherwise participate in a women’s or community circle—just try it. Give a few episodes a listen as a first step. Leila is a proficient and serene teacher from which to learn.

This is a wonderful introduction to women’s circles and community circles! I love the permission to allow intention, passion, and love to be an initiation to becoming a facilitator. We need more work like this, thank you Leila!

Insightful, wise, instructive. I love this podcast. And the music is so so beautiful.
