In this circle of connection, we lift one another up, share our strengths, and offer support through both joy and challenge. Each act of friendship and service, no matter how small, ripples outward to make life a little brighter for everyone. When we gather with shared purpose, we create something far greater than ourselves… we create a living network of kindness, compassion, and care.

By cherishing friendships and choosing to nurture one another (and the greater world around us) we become builders of harmony, weaving together a community rooted in love, understanding, and the simple joy of being here for each other.

We come together as kindred souls—each seeking to learn, grow, and awaken. In the warmth of these gatherings, we build genuine bonds of friendship and create gentle rituals that nourish the heart, calm the mind, and uplift the spirit. Through shared intention and presence, we remind each other that we are never alone on this journey of becoming.

What happens at a gathering?

Part One: Inner Growth

The first half is devoted to inner growth. A time to quiet the mind, open the heart, and connect more deeply with spirit and one another. Together, we learn, heal, and expand through shared practices that nourish the soul.

Opening: “We shape this circle, strong and true, with open hearts and open views. We listen deep with kindness near, and honor life with gratitude clear. With gentle hands we do no wrong, in love and peace we all belong. With joy we walk this path anew, together glowing – me and you.”

Blessing Bowl: Sometimes hearts are broken, bodies are failing, or homes are in need. We all know people who need help, maybe it’s you. Add name & needs to the bowl so we can send light, love, and prayers for these needs during our meditations… And later, these details will be recorded and shared with the group so that, whenever possible, we can take action too… actively making life a little easier for us all.

Guided Meditation & Spiritual Growth: As we journey inward together, we quiet the mind and open the heart. Through conscious emotional patterning, we remember the truth of who we are and awaken to greater peace within. These guided meditations and shared insights provide gentle pathways toward spiritual growth, fostering greater peace, compassion, awareness, and joy in everyday life.

Sharing & News: A time for connection and exchange, where we share updates, upcoming events, opportunities, and life changes. Each voice adds to the circle, and through listening and sharing, we learn, grow, and support one another on our journeys.

Part Two: Joyful Connection

Through sharing food, stories, music, and art – we eat, play, and celebrate the beauty of community. Bring your instruments, creations, and laughter and enjoy these moments of open-hearted exchange when the circle truly comes alive.

Community Potluck: The second half of our gathering is a time for joyful sharing—a community potluck of food, music, art, and playfulness. Bring your guitars, drums, crystals, crafts, or anything that lights up your soul and share with your friends. This is our time to laugh, sing, and play together, to celebrate creativity in all its forms, and to share the simple joy of being alive in good company. Building friendships with like-minded people is a true joy! When everyone brings something simple and nourishing to share, our plates are full and abundance flows. Whether you bring a dish, a song, or just your open heart, you are part of the circle.

Circle Closing: As you leave the circle, close the circle for yourself. And, whoever is left at the end, please close the circle for us all.

“Our circle closes, truth is near, the light we’ve shared remains so dear. The peace within will guide our way, and keep our hearts from day to day. With gratitude, we part and know the seeds of kindness ever grow. Together strong, together free, we walk the path of harmony.”

Gratitude Bowl

Our world is powered by many forms of energy, and one of them, is monetary contributions. This form is a requirement of 3D living, and your gift helps make our gatherings possible and fuels our Compassionate Action. When we each share this energy, it strengthens the foundation of our circle and allows us to continue our circle. Are you wondering how much to give? It’s best to quiet the mind and feel this with the heart. Always, always, give from the heart as you are able.

Why is there a formal structure to our gatherings instead of simply gathering for free time together?

We can always hold gatherings for social time if everyone wishes, but rituals hold deep meaning for the human spirit. They provide structure and rhythm to life, reminding us that there is purpose and beauty in repetition. When we light a candle, share a meal, meditate, or gather in a circle, we signal to our hearts that something matters. These acts bridge the outer world of action with the inner world of intention.

All people with kind hearts are welcome.

All races, all people, and all faiths, and even those without a faith are welcome. Yes, even an physicist, atheist, wizard, or unicorn. We only ask that you come with an open mind and open heart. Although all core understandings and philosophy will be shared from a perspective of a Divine Being who put all things into motion, we do not care if you call that the being ‘the Universe’ or ‘God’ or ‘the Great Spirit’. (We actually intermingle those terms to accommodate everyone’s concepts.) All open-hearted and open minded people are welcome.

Can Children attend the gatherings?

At this time we do not have facilities to care for young children. If they are able to sit still, be quiet in meditation, and participate in a dignified way, then they are welcome to attend. Hopefully, we will have more opportunities in the future for the little ones to participate.
