The Soul Circle is an
ever-evolving community of diverse and caring individuals.
Together,
We "inhale and exhale"
The Soul Circle breathes with SPIRIT through
the sharing of lives and hearts with others
on a similar journey.
The Circle is a sacred space of presence,
compassion, non -judgement, relationship
and deepens individual spirituality
The Circle is not a therapy / support group.
The circle holds each ones sacred
"life-story" and provides compassion for
body, mind and spirit.
Those engaged in the circle
bring an open-heart to the process of
inner personal and group reflection.
Creative prayer of sitting together
using silent meditation, poetry, music
and other meaningful rituals blend to create
an opening for being in sacred inner space.
The Soul Circle...
- Community that seeks the Holy within.
- Welcomes persons
of various ages
and christian beliefs - Becomes a safe
"holding” space
of confidentiality for
heart-soul sharing - Poetry, song and prompts to
encourage creative reflection - A place of compassion, non-judgment openess of heart, respect and trust
- Listens for Spirit's
Wisdom in stillness - Personal self-care
The Circle
The circle sees what is hidden
With eyes, ears, hand, and heart:
Where there is brokenness, the circle shows us wholeness.
Where there is deep pain, the circle shows us strength.
Where there is self-doubt, the circle shows our gifts.
Where there is anger, the circle shows us love.
Where there is frustration, the circle shows us passion.
Where there is despair, the circle shows us hope.
Where there is loss, the circle shows us gratitude.
Where there is darkness, the circle shows us light.
Where there is exhaustion, the circle holds us up.
I am the circle, you are the circle, we are the circle.
Our circle has shown us we are among great women.
We are with she who is:
Loved and loving
Kind and forgiving
Helpful and grateful
Intelligent and wise
Growing and understanding
Generous and spiritual
Patient and forgiven
Talented and reflective
We are with she who is a light,
sometimes without knowing
The circle is continuous, it holds us
No matter where we are, our circle is present.
