If you’re looking to start a Well Circle, one of the first questions is: who will gather with me? 

‍

You know you’d love to gather at the new moon. You know the Moon Manuals are here to support you with new activities and rituals each month. But who are the people who will help bring your circle to life?

‍

There are several approaches to this question:

• You can choose a hevrutah (co-creator) and think together about people you know who you’d love to invite.
• You can meet with an existing group of friends, housemates, or family members.
• You can open your circle to new connections!

‍

At The Well now offers a dedicated section of our website to support you in connecting with new folks who can bring your Well Circle vision to life.

How to Post a New Circle

Below we’ll outline the key details to include in a post about what you’re seeking for your Well Circle. This will help you call in the people who are right for you!
Note: To help connect as many Well Circles as possible, this room is publicly accessible, completely free. Please don’t share personal contact information in your post, or anything you wouldn’t want publicly visible.

Your post should include details about…

• YOU: Tell us about yourself! Could you help co-lead the creation of a circle, or only join an existing circle? Or, are you in an existing circle looking for some new members?
• HOW: Do you want to meet in-person or virtually?
• WHERE: If you want to meet in-person, where are you based? (Include your city, state/province, and country.) Do you hope to meet in a particular neighborhood?
• WHO: What is the intention of your Well Circle? What type of community are you looking to gather? Describe what you want to call in.
  • Are there particular identities, shared interests, or life experiences you’d like to see in your group?
  • Are the members in a particular stage of life?
• WHEN: Do you hope to meet at a particular time or day of the week? If virtual, what time zone do you meet in?

Finding it difficult to answer the questions above?

Consider starting with some of the intention-setting resources in the #Well Circle Starter Kit. Or you could share a draft in the #Circle Igniters space and ask for feedback.

To finish your post, be sure to also include:

• A title: Title your post with the key details for visibility. Example: “Looking for Moms in St. Paul, MN” or “Vegan Jewish Women in the UK”
• A cover photo: Choose a photo to represent your group or local area! It’s easy:

1. Click the square Add cover icon (next to the gear icon ⚙️)
2. Click Unsplash
3. Then use keywords to search for your location or another symbolic photo.
4. Crop the image if needed, then click Save Changes.

DENVER, CO

Hi everyone! I’m Naomi. I’d love to co-lead the creation of a new Well Circle in Denver. I’m excited about holding space with others and helping to facilitate meaningful conversations together.

I’m new to this area, so I’m excited to connect with new folks! I’d especially love to gather women in their 30s–40s who are navigating big life transitions—whether in career, relationships, or family. Shared interests in spirituality, mindfulness, or Jewish wisdom would be especially meaningful.

My hope is to build a circle that feels grounding and nourishing, where we can really show up for one another.

As far as timing, weekday evenings tend to be best for me. I’m imagining 7-8:30PM on Mondays. Open to adjusting based on the needs of the group.
