Welcome, fellow Maven 💌

Mavens Circle is a safe, intentional space for curious, creative women who crave real connection, meaningful conversation, and room to grow — both online and in person. It was built by bright-eyed women with hopes of making genuine, lasting friendships in the process.

✦ A tiny etymology moment

"Information" derives from the Latin verb informare — meaning "to mold," or "to shape." So everything we choose to consume — books, workshops, conversations, experiences — quite literally shapes who we become.

In a world overflowing with noise, we believe that deliberate, high-quality experience is imperative — and that learning alongside others is one of the most beautiful ways to become more grounded, clear, and connected.

If you want to read with intention, make things with your hands, explore big ideas, and build lasting friendships with like-minded souls — we'd love to get to know you.

With warmth,
Mavens Circle ✦ est. '25

How We Gather

More than a membership.
A community that lives the ideas.

📖
Reading Journeys

Curated reading journeys built around themes of growth, identity, and transformation — with guided discussion, reflection prompts, and occasional guest authors.

🌿
Learn from Real People

20% off every workshop booked through the Mavens platform — pottery, fermentation, movement, and more. One session covers your membership.

🕯️
Gather in Person

Intimate meetups, skill shares, and member-only events in the Tampa Bay area. Some are curated, some are intentionally simple — all prioritize connection over production.

🤝
Give Back Together

We take the ideas off the page and into the world through community service and volunteer experiences aligned with what we're reading and thinking about.

Seasonal Themes

Each quarter, one question.
We read into it, make into it, live into it.

The Body Knows: Returning to the Inner Compass
✦ Now Reading

We live in our heads. We override our bodies with logic and productivity. This season is about returning to embodied knowledge — the intelligence that lives below the neck. Our reading is matched with art-making and practices that put us back in our bodies.

📖 More titles to be announced
Book club gathering — deep in conversation
Open heart — season artwork
Woman in motion — embodiment and freedom
Love as a Call to Action
Winter 2024–25

What does love demand of us — not as feeling, but as practice? We sat with love as a verb: the kind that requires courage, presence, and showing up even when it's inconvenient.
