After 13 years of drum circles, lunar rituals and quiet cups of tea, the women-only sanctuary, the Full Circle Temple, held its last ritual circle on Sunday.
The vibrantly-colored house on East Burnside was closed because of budget reasons. The closing, as well as talks of opening up a new feminist collective that may include men, are signs of a new era of feminism in Portland, for some associated with the Full Circle Temple.

"Nikki Hemlan, Anni Paisley and Nova Dawn, all members of the Sisterhood Circle, have been gathering for a year at the temple every other Sunday. They say they feel the time has come for less exclusion of gender within the organization. Circle members say that a precedent has been set for women's equality and bringing men back to the table is the best way to keep that equality and facilitate further harmony between genders."
