Valentine’s Day traditionally is a day dedicated to romantic love, but here at Two Libras as much as we love love, we’re all about Galentine’s Day. This special day is all about celebrating a type of love that is equally important: the love we share with our friends. Mark the 13th of February on your calendars so you can join in the fun and celebrate Galentine’s with your besties. Whether you’re single, married, or somewhere in between it doesn’t matter as Galentine’s is all about celebrating connection, sisterhood, and the unwavering bond of friendship.
This year, why not take your Galentine’s celebration to the next level by hosting a Wellness Circle? In case you’re new to them, to summarise, a wellness circle is a gathering where women come together to share mindful, healing, and empowering practices. It’s an opportunity to set intentions, raise your vibration, and enjoy meaningful moments with your closest friends. To help get your Galentine’s party started, we’ve curated five inspiring practices for your Galentine’s Wellness Circle that will leave everyone feeling refreshed, recharged, and deeply connected.
1. Start with Journaling
Journaling is a powerful way to have a direct conversation with your inner voice and get clear on what’s most important to you. As part of your wellness circle, set the mood and create a cosy and nurturing space with cushions, candles, and your favourite incense. If gifting is your love language, you may wish to treat each guest to a journal (or ask them to bring their own) and share a few reflective prompts to get started:
-
What do I love most about myself?
-
How have my friendships shaped me into who I am today?
-
What is one intention I want to set for myself this year?
You may wish to encourage everyone to use a Clear Quartz Crystal Pen for journaling to add an extra touch of magic, as quartz amplifies clarity and intention. Encourage your guests to share their reflections if they feel comfortable.
2. Share Empowering Affirmations
Affirmations are an incredible tool for boosting self-esteem and shifting into a positive mindset. For your Galentine’s Wellness Circle, ask each guest to write a personal affirmation that means something significant to them on a piece of paper, like “I am worthy of love and abundance” or “I radiate confidence and joy.”
When you’ve finished, take turns sharing these affirmations aloud and feel what positive impact it has on the vibe of the room. You may wish to take this practice to the next level by lighting a Rose Quartz Intention Candle during the activity. Rose Quartz, the stone of unconditional love, will enhance the energy of self-love and connection in the circle.
3. Work with Crystals
Crystals are a beautiful addition to any wellness practice, as they hold specific energetic properties that can support healing and intention-setting. For your wellness circle, you may wish to provide a selection of powerful crystals for your friends to work with, such as:
-
Rose Quartz: Promotes self-love and harmonious relationships.
-
Amethyst: Aids in relaxation and spiritual connection.
-
Citrine: Encourages joy, abundance, and positivity.
Everyone can take turns choosing a crystal that resonates with them, or you could gift everyone a Friendship Crystal Kit. Spend a few moments with your eyes closed each holding the crystals whilst visualising their energy supporting your intentions.
4. High-Vibe Dance Party
No Galentine’s celebration is complete without a little fun! Turn up the energy by hosting a dance party with high-vibrational music. Create a playlist filled with empowering tracks by female artists to get everyone moving and letting their hair down. Dancing is a fantastic way to release stagnant energy, elevate your mood, and connect with the present moment. Let loose, laugh, and enjoy the magic of shared joy with your friends.
5. Guided Meditation for Connection
To close your Galentine’s Wellness Circle we recommend taking part in a guided meditation to help everyone centre themselves and reflect on the day. Perhaps choose a meditation focused on connection and gratitude to make sure everyone leaves feeling peaceful and uplifted.
If you don’t feel comfortable being the facilitator of a guided meditation, don’t worry we’ve got your back, check out our free Two Libras Guided Meditations, which offer a variety of soothing and uplifting sessions. Ask everyone to sit comfortably, hold their crystals, and relax into the meditation.
Why Galentine’s Matters
In a world that often places romantic relationships above all else, Galentine’s is a reminder that friendships are just as (if not more so) important. Taking time to celebrate the women in your life strengthens those connections and creates a sense of belonging and empowerment. Why not make your Galentine’s Wellness Circle a yearly event to deepen your friendships and help everyone tap into their inner magic?
Let’s make this Galentine’s Day unforgettable—because our friendships deserve to be celebrated.
