I invited Ghada Banayoti to this episode because so many of you are curious about the Sacred Gardens Women’s Circles and the 12 Magic Nights Ritual: what they are, how they work, and what makes them different.

Many of you wonder:

• What actually happens inside a sacred women’s circle like The Sacred Gardens?
• Do these rituals really change anything?
• What does it feel like to be held, without judgment, in a space created just for women?
• How a ritual12 Magic Nights can transform the way you end and begin your year?

And Ghada Banayoti has taken part into the Sacred Gardens I have hosted this year (in 2025). She has also done the 12 Magic Nights ritual last year (in 2024). So Ghada can give you a sneak peek inside and tell you about the impact the Sacred Gardens and the 12 Magic Nights Ritual had on her wellbeing and on her business.

Women’s Circles are trending these day, but what are they truly, and what are they not?

In this episode, we go straight to the heart of it : the ancient roots of women’s circles, the sacred intention behind them, and why so many modern gatherings use the name without honoring the lineage.

If you’ve wonder:

• What actually makes a women’s circle a circle
• How to spot the difference between a ritual space and a networking event
• Why structure, ritual, energy, and non-hierarchy matter
• And what happens in a truly sacred circle…

…this conversation will open your eyes.

I also share what happens inside Sacred Gardens, the women’s circles I host in Zürich: why they’re not “cute gatherings,” not workshops, not masterminds… but transformative containers rooted in ritual, energy work, and the ancient feminine.

If you’re craving depth, presence, sisterhood, and a return to something real, drop into this episode. It may change how you see women’s spaces forever.
