Join us around the fire to share your stories, connect with nature and celebrate the wheel of the year during a calm and restorative evening in our beautiful community garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circle practice is a method of authentic, compassionate communication that has been practised throughout history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It involves sitting in a circle and sharing our personal stories in a non judgemental way, building understanding and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we sit in a circle, we\u2019re implicitly suggesting that we are all equal and that we are connected. A talking stick is held by the person who speaks and moves around the circle until everyone has been heard. The invitation is to speak and listen from the heart. As a technology, a circle is deceptively simple. There are some basic ground rules: don\u2019t interrupt, don\u2019t analyse or judge anyone else\u2019s contribution, keep it confidential, speak from the heart, set a time limit. Within that container, the way it works is simply to go around the circle and hear from everyone. One person speaking at a time. Everyone listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be run by Jo Cotter, one of the founder members of organicARTS, and trained in the Way of the Circle, and Bekah Phillips a keen practitioner. The practice is guided by The Ways of the Council: https:\/\/waysofcouncil.net\/ you can read more about Council practise here: https:\/\/waysofcouncil.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Introduction-to-Council.pdf<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is part of a series of circles to celebrate the wheel of the year and the cycle of the seasons. They have all been beautifully gentle and restorative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
