A Monthly Essene Sisterhood Gathering. Women at the Well is a virtual, monthly gathering for women who feel called to draw more deeply from the living waters of the Essene way—its contemplative wisdom, devotion to simplicity, reverence for the natural world, inner purification, and remembrance of the Divine within. Together, Essene sisters Lauren and Leah invite you into a space to step away from the noise, declutter the mind, and return to the wisdom of the soul. The Well has long been a place of encounter, a place where we come empty and leave carrying something living. This is a place to receive so that we may give. A place to replenish what has been poured out. A place to fill the cup—the holy vessel—so that we may return to our lives, families, communities, and service with greater presence and radiance. Each month, we will gather around a different theme designed to deepen our exploration and embodiment of Essene spirituality and the Divine Feminine, creating space for conversation, shared wisdom, ritual, and the mystery of what arises when women gather at the Well together. Our First Gathering is October 10th at 10:00 AM Central Gatherings will be held on zoom. Recordings will be available temporarily through MONASTICA, allowing us to cultivate a more intimate container. Portions of our personal sharing and sacred conversation will remain offline and unrecorded to honor the privacy of the circle. As this sisterhood grows, we hope future gatherings become increasingly collaborative—a place where many voices, gifts, experiences, and expressions of the Essene way can be brought to the Well. You do not need to arrive with answers. Come with your questions. Come with your longing. Come with an empty cup. We invite you to meet us at the Well. Free to attend and revisit.

It was such an honor to sit with the women that could join us at the well this past Saturday. We gathered around forgiveness—its challenges, its tenderness, and what it asks of us. I found myself wondering, when we witness actions that cause harm, how might forgiveness deepen our pursuit of justice? Can we name harm clearly, uphold accountability, and still keep our hearts open to another’s humanity? Perhaps forgiveness can help us seek justice without becoming consumed by the harm we are seeking to heal. This is a question I want to keep listening into. We also spoke about the loneliness that can accompany the narrow path. For those of us choosing a vegan way of life, even a family meal can become a place where we feel alone in what matters deeply to us. There is nourishment in having companions who understand—women who encourage us, help us remain accountable to our commitments, and offer a place where we can speak honestly about the difficulties. As Women at the Well continues to unfold, we hope to explore more deeply how to live a fully nourished and empowered vegan lifestyle. And further explore foundational principles of the Essene way, such as sevenfold peace, purity, humility, sacrament, communion with the angels of the tree of life, spiritual fasting, and deeper pathways of sisterhood. May this well become a place where we receive the companionship and courage to live what we believe—with compassion, integrity, and room to keep growing. Please share your reflections and thoughts for our next gathering…TBA In everlasting love and peace, Lauren
