Wisdom Circles

“It is time to listen deeply, with all of ourselves online, body, heart, intuition, and mind, while also resting in dimensions of transcendent stillness. Listening to the whispers of what is waiting to be born now at this extraordinary junction point for humanity, one that was foreseen by all the great wisdom traditions, with virtually one voice.”
Wisdom Circles are an experiment, a way of meeting our times that nurtures community, builds our capacity to stay open in the midst of challenge, and expands our access to new levels of inspiration and wisdom to guide our way forward.
This space might be helpful for you if you:
sense that we are currently in a time of deep collective transformation,
have a desire to be present with what’s unfolding,
wish to connect with deeper currents of wisdom and emergence to guide how you navigate this time, and
are open to contemplative and mystical practices.
The idea of circling – gathering in intentional and sacred community – is not new. It is an ancient and potent technology that is needed once again.
A circle is connection. In the warmth of shared holding and care, what is too overwhelming to face alone can be welcomed and integrated.
A circle is also a portal, a concentration and amplification of energy, a widening of receptivity. In a field of shared resonance, we listen not only for ourselves, but also for the whole. Our listening and perception are deepened and expanded beyond what is possible for any of us alone.

A Wisdom Circle includes:
Energetic grounding and opening.
Space to share what is alive for you at this time, and to be enriched by the sharing of others.
Opening to the unknown and deep listening. This is the listening of poets and mystics, informed by grace rather than by effort. We empty ourselves – of what we believe we know, of what we expect, of how things are supposed to be – and in that emptiness, we are available to receive what wants to emerge.
Invitation to share what you receive. Each of us can be a conduit for wisdom and the emergent future. What you receive may be for you or for the collective. Often, what we receive is relevant for others in ways we can’t anticipate. What we weave together is beyond what any of us could access alone.
Closing opportunity for reflection and integration.
