We gather around a Sacred Center \u2013 a place of focus, a place of balance, a place of beauty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We breathe deeply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We welcome silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We welcome song. We welcome poetry. We welcome imperfection and the expression of our perfectly imperfect selves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We limit chit chat and use lean speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We do our best to balance our speech letting each of us speak and recognizing that we all bring our unique gifts to the Circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We respect our elders knowing that each gray hair and wrinkle is an experience lived, wisdom and perspective gained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We listen 100%, no phones and no interrupting. We listen to each and every word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We strive to find a balance between the head bobbing affirmations that we all sometimes need and providing the opportunity for each woman(person) to step fully and unapologetically into their own power and truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We do not interrupt. Unless someone is taking more than their fair share of time and of energy and then we gently guide them back onto the Circle path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We hold everything said in Circle as confidential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We come from a place of non-judgement realizing that we each have our own unique perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We address and are open-hearted honest when we feel wronged, again listening to each other and allowing each other our different perspectives. Learning. And realizing that we are all works in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We recognize that this is a place of healing, and we do our part to share with the intent of healing ourselves and the world. We tell stories not advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We know that each of us carry the answers inside us already.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Circle is a place to find them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
