Welcome to The Circle Project
I’m Mitlé—a seeker of the sacred and a firm believer in finding the magic in the mundane. This is my journey of living seasonally and sacredly while juggling life as a Director of Operations and solicitor for a charity, parenting an 11-year-old, and navigating a world that often feels like it’s spinning in upheaval.
Here, I share how I’m mapping a way through using the steady anchors of the seasons, the wild beauty of the landscape, and the connections of community. These touchstones inspire rituals, seasonal cooking, altar-making, walking, and simple crafts that turn everyday acts into sacred practices.
It’s about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary—lighting a candle at the end of a long workday, walking among ancient trees to steady a racing mind, or stirring a pot of soup as an act of care and connection.
I’m reading a lot of books, dreaming of becoming a better writer, and having meaningful conversations with people who are cultivating hope, resilience, and creativity in these (r)evolutionary times.

Join Me
This space is an exploration of what it means to live in harmony with the cycles of life while embracing the complexities of modern existence. It’s about anchoring ourselves in what matters—connection, creativity, and care.
If you’re seeking inspiration to weave a little more magic and meaning into your everyday, I’d love for you to join me in The Circle Project. Together, we can rediscover the sacred in the everyday and map a way forward, one season at a time.
I supported your work because I so appreciate your teaching of circle holding and the way you lead through your own wonderful holding of nourishing spaces. I’ve benefitted so much from being in circle with you and the wonderful humans you draw together. I learn, I see, I know, I grow. So glad to continue this journey over here on Substack and to witness you bring your much-needed book to life.

The Podcast
New for 2025, my podcast returns: a space where we explore the power of Circles as collective care and sacred activism in these (r)evolutionary times.
Through meaningful conversations and seasonal reflections, we ask how Circles can become sanctuaries of connection and rebellion, offering pathways for flourishing amidst life’s complexities. Together, we’ll explore rituals, practices, and the art of living "in circle"—with self, community, and the natural world.
Join me as I sit down with inspiring individuals whose paths of contribution include holding Circles, building community, and living creative, seasonal lives that bring hope and resilience to the world.
This podcast began in 2016, weaving stories of connection and care, and continues to evolve as a space for shared wisdom and collective growth.
We’ll journey together, one conversation at a time.
