Meet Mitlé

Your guide, teacher and cheerleader

The founder of Circle School, I teach internationally and have facilitated circles, retreats and courses since 2016.

I believe in the power of connection, community and circle to provide a path of integrity back to ourselves, and authentic relationship with the more than human world. 

As a woman of British heritage, my circles and courses are deeply rooted in the old Western wisdom traditions and British native mythology. 

I believe deeply in honouring and healing our ancestral stories, cultivating our mythic imaginations, exploring the archetypes at play in our lives and work, and being claimed by the land we’re on, to support us to address the challenges of our times. 

As a former lawyer now learning the old ways, I am committed to increasing my capacity to hold diverse, inclusive and safer spaces for those marginalised by our current systems, whilst seeking ways to fracture those systems. 

When not in Circle, I spend my time with family and friends, playing in the woods and paddling in the rivers, usually with a cup of tea in one hand and a book in the other.


What Other's Say

Circle Skills is a new course but here's what other's have previously said about my work

Compassion & Understanding

Rae Willingham

Mitle is magnificent. She really is the most exquisite woman. She is compassion, love, joy and understanding all smooshed into a human body. My life has changed so much in the short time I have worked with Mitle and I am blown away by the possibilities that are still to be explored as we travel further together. You can’t help but feel safe and valued in Mitle’s presence. It’s a rare thing.

Highly Recommended

Stasha Washburn, Founder: Period Coaching School

I highly recommend Mitle for your community. I founded Period Coaching School, my students need to understand holding circle, holding space, being present for their clients. Many students will be running group programs centered around menstruation which can be a heavy subject. Having Mitle share best practices and support for their work was essential. The students loved her, I got great feedback from them, including feeling more confident moving into their circle holder and leadership roles. Thank you Mitle, from the bottom of my womb! Stasha

Encouraging & Generous

Laura Edwards Banta

I love that you encourage us to find our own identity and message for our Circle - and the way that you honor each women and the uncovering of her knowing about what Circle she is called to have. Your generosity in the course has allowed us to ask any and all questions along the way to help us through any self-doubt or blocks that occur. I am forever happy and blessed to have been guided by you.

Unique Perspective

Karen Brody, Founder: Daring to Rest Academy

At the Daring to Rest Academy we support women around the world to become rest doulas, to hold space for and to uphold the sanctity of rest. Mitlé provided our rest doulas with a wonderful masterclass on holding space. She is so gracious and wise, with a unique and deep perspective on how to hold space.

A Sacred Practice

Viknesvari d/o Piche Muthu

The journey with Mitlé felt like a sacred practice. I felt seen, heard, embraced and loved from within. I’ve finally learnt how to show up, especially in the online world, by embracing and expressing all of my gifts. Circle School goes beyond holding Circles. It has been a deep transformation for me, in my life.

Legend!

Stacey Anne Bernadette Kelly 

Mitle, you're a legend! Thank you for helping me gain courage to take my Circles into shadow work and for helping me to feel into my own wisdom and confidence.

Authenticity & Care

TeAroha Haunui

Mitlé has a level of authenticity, care and nurturing that makes you feel safe and secure in working alongside her. She is well versed in her knowledge of Circle and the importance of this for the greater whole. She encourages you to delve deeper into yourself so that you can harness the energy of Circle and support others to transform too.

Wise & Practical

Charlotte Pointeaux, Founder: First Moon Circles

Mitlé is an enchanting guest speaker and a rich cauldron of wisdom and practical guidance. I invited Mitle to record a guest expert interview with me for my First Moon Circle Facilitator Training on the topic of holding safer and inclusive sacred circles and self-created ritual. Not only did my audience learn great amounts from Mitlé but I too was left roused, inspired and captivated by our conversation – it was so much fun! Thank you Mitle!

Shared Wisdom

Samantha Nolan-Smith, Founder: The School of Visibility

Mitlé has so much wisdom to share around women’s circles. She was able to speak to the philosophical foundations, the social justice considerations, and the pragmatics of how to host circle spaces. We’re thrilled with the training she ran for us.

Skilled & Knowledgeable

Janine Begley

Mitle is a truly skilled and knowledgeable teacher and her space holding capacity created such a safe and secure container to be able to look into those parts of me that have brought me so many life lessons. This is enabling me to discern my path and my calling within holding space and Circle.

Is this the circle holding course for you?

This is for you if: 

  • you are ready to create your unique Circles and get them into the world
  • you can afford this course without causing yourself financial difficulty
  • you have the time and energy to engage with the content and resources in 10-days or at your own pace
  • you are committed to doing the work and know you are responsible for implementing what you learn


This is not for you if: 

  • you don't want to access content and resources on a course platform and are looking for a course taught live
  • you're looking for a certification course
  • you need one-on-one support or help 
  • you don't have the resources of time, energy and money to invest at this moment
  • you don't want to hold Circles!


Questions you may have...

  • Is this for in-person or on-line Circles?

    Both! Much of what I teach is applicable to both; where there are differences or other considerations I point these out. You also have access to a bonus workshop specifically on holding on-line Circles.

  • How much time do I need to complete the course?

    You will need about an hour for each chapter to watch the video and do the "homework". However, you may find that you wish to spend more time on a particular chapter. The additional trainings can be watched when you have the space and time to do so. They are about an hour each. You could binge watch the course over a weekend or engage with the course over 10-days, 10-weeks or 10-months!

  • Are there live calls? Are they recorded?

    The content is provided by way of pre-recorded videos, audios and PDFs and you will have access for at least 12-months. From time to time I will hold live mentoring sessions that you will be invited to attend or submit your questions in advance.

  • Is this a certification course?

    This is a brilliant foundational course for Circle Holders. If you wish to become a Circle School Certified Circle Holder you will need to join us in the Apprenticeship with Circles. You can join the "interested to know more list" here: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/v2f3x5

  • Do you provide templates?

    You create your own! The course is a guided journey through planning, creating and holding your own unique Circles. You will, however, receive two example Circle Maps for a New Moon and Full Moon Circle for creative inspiration. These include suggested practices and recommended resources.

  • Do I have to be on Facebook to take part?

    Nope! All the content is held on a course platform. The discussion forum is enabled on all chapters so that you can engage with others and ask me questions if you wish to.
