About the Circle
“And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.” — Rainer Maria Rilke Online Retreat Saturday, January 3rd 9:30am - 12:30pm PACIFIC TIME As one year folds gently into the next, we are reminded that while there is nothing particularly rare about the turning of the calendar, it always invites us to pause. To stop, to reflect, and to listen to the quiet stirrings within and the movements of the world around us. In doing so, we nurture our spiritual intelligence, the inner compass that helps us live with depth, presence, and purpose. This timeless ritual of reflection has taken countless forms throughout human history. When we enter into it, we join the great circle of all who have ever paused to listen for Wisdom between the breaths of beginnings and endings. This online retreat offers a sacred space to stop, reflect, and listen in a space that we hold together. It is a time to explore what nourishes our Whole selves, what reconnects us to the genuine sources of hope, meaning, direction, and comfort. Through practices, readings, and reflection, we will dwell in quiet and allow insight to arise naturally. Bring a candle, your journal or art supplies, and, most importantly, an open heart. This event will be recorded for later viewing.
