Soul Work Women's Circles
By Helen Forster
A year long pilgrimage back to yourself
For the past seven years, women have been gathering in my Soul Work Circles to slow down, listen inward, and honour what is alive in them right now.
This is not a course to complete or a self-improvement project. It's a sacred space where you are invited to be exactly as you are, in whatever season you find yourself.
Each circle is held for ten women in Cheltenham, Victoria, and I facilitate every gathering. The small size is intentional. It allows for real depth, genuine trust, and the kind of witnessing that only happens when we know one another over time.
We meet monthly across a full year, following the natural rhythm of a pilgrimage. Month by month, you will have the chance to pause, acknowledge where you are, and let what's true come to the surface. It's a commitment, and it's one that many women tell me becomes an anchor in their year.
If you've been longing for connection, stillness, and a place to be truly seen, this circle may be calling you.
A year, unfolding one card at a time
At the beginning of each year, I choose a Tarot deck to walk with us. I draw twelve cards, one for each month, and together they outline the shape of our year together.
Each card offers a theme to explore when we gather. These themes give us something to anchor into, a doorway for acknowledging what is alive in you that month, and a way of tracing how you move and shift across the year.
Every gathering follows a gentle rhythm:

Meet your retreat host, Helen Forster
Based in the south east suburbs of Melbourne and founded by Helen Forster in 2014, Whole Beginnings began as a sanctuary for people to come home to themselves through holistic healing, sacred practices, and soul-led transformation.
Over the years, as the work deepened and the offerings evolved, so too did the name.
Today, Helen Forster Soul Work is the next evolution. An invitation to meet yourself in the raw, honest places beneath the surface. It is a space where transformation is not only possible, but inevitable when you are held with safety, truth, and reverence.
Here, we honour the whole being mind, body, heart, and spirit. Whether through 1:1 coaching, sacred women’s circles, retreats, breathwork, intuitive healing, or sound medicine, this work invites you to slow down, soften, and courageously do the work.
