A place to slow down, be met, and remember you're not doing this alone.
Once a month, we gather. Not to fix anything, not to perform, just to be together, to check in with what's alive, and to be witnessed by people who won't try to fix you. We open with a short teaching, then make room for whoever wants to share, ask, or simply listen.
Come as you are. Bring what's heavy. Bring what's tender. Or come just to sit in good company for a while. There's nothing you have to say and nothing you have to bring but yourself.
These circles grow out of our Healing Story work: we practice listening deeply and reflecting back what we hear, including the strengths and resilience already there. We heal in connection, and we just need a space safe enough to let it happen.
The heart of it: reciprocity
These circles are offered by donation, and donation is only one kind of reciprocity. It is never the price of belonging.
If you're able to contribute financially, that's one beautiful way to help hold space for someone who can't right now. But money is just one gift among many. You add to the circle by showing up. By listening. By witnessing someone else's story with a soft heart. Some weeks you'll arrive full, with much to offer. Some weeks you'll arrive empty, and need to be held. Both are welcome. No one is ever turned away.
