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<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The Seasonal Circles are 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 and you can read more about Council practise here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n We run 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 This is an adult only event, it will based around the fire outside so come dressed warmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
