The Power and Purpose of Women's Circles.
In this episode of Primary Care UK's Let's Learn Together Emma Borders interviews a guest about a concept little known to clinicians: Dr. Asha Ashokan, a GP and Women's Circles Facilitator, explores the concept of women's circles—a safe space for women to gather, share experiences, and support each other. She delves into the history and structure of these circles, their growing popularity, and related topics like cyclical living and its impact on women's health. Dr. Ashokan also reflects on her personal journey with women's circles and their transformative effect on her professional and personal life.
