If you lawyer up or cry, you're done.

Ask questions, OP! Yes, have the emails with you. Introduce yourself with an "I'm hear to listen. Thank you all for being here today."

The power question is, "What do you feel would have been a better form of communication?" Put it on her and let her "be heard" or whatever. Your goal is to rise to the challenge she's presented you, and to come out looking good. Ask questions.

"I'm new to healing circles. Can you clarify what you mean by that?"

"I hear you. Typically we respond this way so that all decisions are transparent and no one feels left out of the conversation."

You can stand by your actions, but this is not about that. She's pulling you into her circle and setting the terms. It's about power.

Demonstrate openness and watch her arguments crumble. She's counting on you being defensive. Don't fall into that trap.

PPs have given you great language to use.

Don't wish it away. Face it. Own it. And you'll be untouchable afterward. It will increase your standing in both orgs.

If it disappears, understand that it was your reputation that unraveled it. If she feels that she can't push you around in this because people are backing you, she'll let it go. And that speaks very well of you.
