A Welcome

I’m thinking ahead — spirit of welcome.

Quanita Roberson and I will host two upcoming online experiences.

One is a repeat of our Essence of Circle Practice. This is one session, online. Four hours. We create deliberate focus on essence as the title says — what we’ve learned gets to the heart of practice in circle. So as to support people in more wise and soulful and circly ways in a number of circumstances. August 10th is the date, 4:30 – 8:30 ET (New York).

Another is our next iteration of a Wisdom Series. This is four parts, also online. Each session is 2 hours. The overarching theme of this is Initiation. We hold that integration is a key skill. Our weekly themes are: 1) Elders, Guides; 2) Surrender; 3) Spirit Walk; 4) Earth Walk. As above, our intent is wisdom and soulfulness. In the heart and in the belly. September 8, 15, 29 (skip 22nd) and October 6 — two time choices available.

Both offerings are independent offerings. Yet, we think of them as part of an ecosystem of connections in what we get to do with people. And, we think of them as a taste of the flavor (mode, feeling, style) that we offer in our deep dive Fire & Water Leadership and Rite of Passage Journey (next cohort applications will be accepted in Fall 2022 to begin Spring 2023).

Sign on as you are ready. Nudges to others you feel are readied appreciated.

Gifts of Circle - Question Cardsasd
Gifts of Circle is 30 short essays divided into 4 sections: 1) Circle's Bigger Purpose, 2) Circle's Practice, 3) Circle's First Requirements, and 4) Circle's Possibility for Men. From the Introduction: "Circle is what I turn to in the most comprehensive stories I know -- the stories of human beings trying to be kind and aware together, trying to make a difference in varied causes for which we need to go well together. Circle is also what I turn to in the most immediate needs that live right in front of me and in front of most of us -- sharing dreams and difficulties, exploring conflicts and coherences. Circle is what I turn to. Circle is what turns us to each other."

Question Cards is an accompanying tool to Gifts of Circle. Each card (34) offers a quote from the corresponding chapter in the book, followed by sample questions to grow your Circle hosting skills and to create connection, courage, and compassionate action among groups you host in Circle.

In My Nature
is a collection of 10 poems. From A Note of Beginning: "This collection of poems arises from the many conversations I've been having about nature. Nature as guide. Nature as wild. Nature as organized. I remain a human being that so appreciates a curious nature in people. That so appreciates questions that pick fruit from inner being, that gather insights and intuitions to a basket, and then brings the to table to be enjoyed and shared over the next week."

Most Mornings is a collection of 37 poems. I loved writing them. From the introduction: "This collection of poems comes from some of my sense-making that so often happens in the morning, nurtured by overnight sleep. The poems sample practices. They sample learnings. They sample insights and discoveries. They sample dilemmas and concerns."
