The Kalemegdan old fortress, 21 June 2017, Belgrade, Serbia
Bilyana Cincarević, a painter and conceptual artist, presented to the public ritual art performance, the “Circle of Women”, at the Kalemegdan fortress on June 21, at 17:00.
With the passing of time into the modern age, women have forgotten about this meaning of the circle, and have lost their powers. Every woman included in Bilyana's performance represents herself, but also her female ancestors and every woman who lived, lives and will live. She represents the Mother Nature and the Mother Earth, and the eternal cycle of life and death, embodied in the Mother Goddess.
Such a spiritual belief focusing on the female goddess has been recognized in art since the 1970s, and it used the performance art as its main vehicle, becoming more pronounced with the coming of the second wave of feminism and offering an alternative to the mainstream religious, historical and artistic models molded on patriarchal values. It promoted the idea of the integral value of women, of the regenerative powers of the feminine, gravely crippled throughout history. But it also dug deeper into the more profound experiences of the being, into its relationship with the world and itself, as demonstrated in the works of the American artist Mary Beth Edelson, one of the pioneers of the feminist art movement.
Similarly, using the powerful medium of the performance art in a space richly steeped in layers of history, against the background of the long lost feminine language of solidarity, coupled with the deeply-felt belief in the liberation of the female energy, Bilyana Cincarević bringed togather 24 women in a circle, or sisters, as she calls them, to help the artist in her calling upon the primary energy associated with the female deity. Number “24” is symbolically also called the "Mystery of Unity" given its supernatural ability of erasing all the negative traits that lead to the divisions among the people. And as they release their voices, women become free of their repressed past emotions, not only their own but also those coded into their genes, a burden on their shoulders, and their own fear, suffering and pain. Thus the circle becomes the place of healing, setting in motion the ritual as the natural tool of transformation, rising from the isolated individual consciousness into the collective experience.

I had my best female friends when I was young , single ,and in a Goddess circle back in 1979. Now as I am married and older ,I still miss and long for the soul sisters in circle. Now I look for soul sisters to dance with and hopefully soon share spirituality with in some way.
Blessed be and Namaste 😄
i also like the idea of a healing circle
I hope you've found your circle🌺
As a Man i see it as you described it, and i would love that Women knew their Nature and God giving Meaning and Gift. Like you said. A Woman represents Mother Earth and a Goddess. She represents Fertility, Love, Warmth, Empathy and so much more! ;)
You have a great and wonderful Meaning in this World.
And together Men and Women complete each others, when being together with their Soul and Love
Thats how i see it
May we never forget our holy and wonderful Powers!

I get this was a few years ago. But I have a question. Why the hopping? The rest I completely understand. I love the energy.
We where hopping because in such a ritual way we are liberating ourselves from transgenerational/ancestral trauma.

Why are they all white
Spiritually white stands for Protection, against negative energy, purity, clarity,
and honesty. Furthermore it is neutral.
In Women Circles they often use rituals which connect the women's, to empower them and feel their strength in a world which is used to suppress women. To wear the same color of clothes is another possibility to express the togetherness.
