ABOUT THE HERA CIRCLE
Where does the name "The Hera Circle" come from? Of course, many people immediately think of the mother of the gods "HERA" - the goddess of women, the moon and fertility, but in fact she is not the namesake of our Circle. "Hera" comes from the ancient Greek and literally means "heroine", "warrior" and is therefore the feminine form of "Heros". With "Hera" we want to describe a female heroine, a woman who knows her worth, who wants to (re)discover her feminine elemental power, who wants to create and create together with other women. For us, "Hera" symbolises feminine energy, the return to our feminine creative power and the courage to live our pure essence. For thousands of years, a circle has symbolised community, the exchange of knowledge, support and security. A powerful place for rituals, trust and deep connection. To summarise, our name stands for a powerful exchange with all its facets in the spirit of sisterhood.
What are the values of the Hera Circle? - All people who identify as female are welcome. - We believe that our world needs more feminine energy - yes BUT, we are NOT an anti-male community. We don't use our energy to stand against something or someone, we use our energy to stand FOR something: Sisterhood and strong cohesion among women. - We are not a classic career network: we are not just about "doing business" - we value real connections, a space where you don't have to perform all the time, a place where you can be "real". This also includes weakness, fear of failure, shame, etc. - The Hera Circle is intended to provide a balance to our hectic, performance-orientated everyday lives. With us, you can let yourself go, rediscover yourself and grow in dialogue with other women. - We value the "vibe" that our circle radiates. Elbow mentality, resentment and egocentric behaviour are out of place here. - The Hera Circle is OUR ALL Circle - which means that we are always open to new impulses, ideas and visions: whenever you want to get involved, feel free! Just send us an e-mail or talk to us at one of our many events.
What are the aims of The Hera Circle? Sisterhood Community Authenticity growth Aesthetics Safe Space International networking of women
