INTENTIONAL GUIDELINES - build on some basic common guidelines of circle practice
~ widened a bit, intended for a holding space of integrity, intensified sensitivity, conscious growth and deepening heart - allowing each other and ourselves to deeply, freely breathe and express.
LISTENING - witnessing with our presence
☆ listen from the heart
- intentionally caring - or maybe make it a physical focus
☆ listen to connect
- look for the light/potential in the other
☆ when judgement comes ~ let go
- maybe shift focus from mind/emotion to body - or look at it as a projection
☆ the 'time out' bottom -
given the opportunity to pause what's happening to process, give suggestions or maybe leave the circle for a break
SHARING
☆ share from the heart
~ your sence of authenticity
☆ share 'what is' in the moment
- it may be silent, silly, bold..
☆ with focus ~ what feels important
- no more ~ no less
☆ from the 'me' experience
~ embodying our insights
☆ stay on own ground
- inspiration from the other - take it to your own experience
☆ keep in mind to adjust one's time
- time for everyone
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CIRCLE ~ STAYS IN THE CIRCLE
- confidentiality
These suggested guidelines are widened to work on relational awareness, inner processing and authenticity.
To be reflected upon, evolve, change whenever needed.
YOU MAY WISH TO INVITE FOR A CIRCLE ~ YOUR OWN WAY
~ we can make our own agreements in line with a particular purpose
of the gathering and the composition of people.
