Women’s Sovereignty Circle
Our Mission
Women’s Sovereignty Circle (WSC) exists to create safe, compassionate spaces where women navigating life’s transitions can reconnect with their bodies, inner wisdom, and one another. Through sacred listening, shared experience, mindfulness, breathwork, movement, and gigong based practices, WSC supports women in finding connection, balance, self-trust, and a sense of sovereignty throughout their cancer journey.

What Happens in a Circle?
Each gathering is a little different.
Depending upon the circle, your experience may include:
Sacred Listening
A traditional circle practice where each woman has the opportunity to share, listen or pass without interruption, advice-giving or judgment.
Somatic Awareness & Movement
Gentle practices that invite awareness of sensation, movement, breath and the body’s internal experience.
Breathwork
Accessible breathing practices designed to support presence, grounding and relaxation.
Qigong
Gentle movement, breath and awareness practices influenced by Zhineng and medical qigong traditions, including practices such as the Inner Smile.
Meditation & Sound
Guided stillness, reflection and sound practices that invite relaxation and inward attention.
Grounding & Earth Connection
Practices inspired by our relationship with the natural world and the landscape surrounding us.
No previous experience with meditation, qigong, somatic work or women’s circles is necessary.
About Rhonda Wendzel, RN, BSN, LMT
Founder of Spiral Earth Healing Collective & Women’s Sovereignty Circle
I have always carried a deep desire to understand people—their stories, their cultures, their ways of seeing the world, and what connects us beneath all of our differences.
I have traveled extensively and lived overseas, experiences that taught me that culture, religion, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, and other identities shape the lens through which we experience the world—but they do not have to separate us. Beneath those differences, I believe there is something deeply human and sacred that connects us all: a living spark, an inner wisdom, a capacity for connection and healing.
My professional life has always existed at the intersection of science, healing, and human experience. I spent more than 20 years in cytotechnology, performing preliminary cancer diagnoses under the direction of pathologists. I later became a registered nurse, working in oncology and palliative care, and eventually trained extensively in therapeutic bodywork, cancer and lymphatic massage, nutrition, herbal approaches, somatic practices, and energy-based modalities. I also developed a deep intuitive sensitivity to people and their physical and emotional experiences.
Yet none of that knowledge prepared me for what it would mean to watch someone I loved deeply face cancer
That is the heart of Spiral Earth Healing Collective.
Creating Space for the Healing Journey
SEHC and WSC grew from the belief that we do not have to choose between science and spirit, modern medicine and traditional wisdom, the body and the mind, or individual healing and community.
There is room for all of these ways of knowing.
My work brings together my professional experience in cancer and nursing, more than 15 years in therapeutic bodywork, somatic awareness, Qigong, Reiki, meditation, and other integrative practices with the lessons I have learned through love, caregiving, profound loss, and my own journey of transformation.
Women’s Sovereignty Circle is the community expression of that vision.
It is a space rooted in sacred listening—a place where women can come together without needing to perform, fix, advise, or have all the answers. A place to listen to the body, reconnect with inner wisdom, share honestly, and experience the strength that can emerge when we are witnessed and supported by others.
My hope is to create spaces where women can remember something that life can sometimes cause us to forget:
The wisdom we seek is not always outside of us.
Sometimes healing begins when we become quiet enough to hear what is already within.

You don't need to know how to meditate.
You don't need experience with qigong.
You don't need to have attended a women's circle.
And you don't need to have everything figured out.
Come as you are.
Listen.
Breathe.
Move.
Connect.
And perhaps hear something within yourself that everyday life has made difficult to hear.
