“You need circles of community to sustain your continual growth... and they must be of your choosing and your building.”

-- Paula P. Brownlee

Every Monday, I meet with one of my circles. We come together and ask for something that we need or want in our lives, based on the belief that the divine is in each of us, as in everything and everyone else, and that we can manifest what we need or want with divine support and guidance. We are committed to supporting each other’s requests through a daily meditation in the week that follows.

I love this circle so much because it answers many of my needs: It allows me to maintain a spiritual practice through the daily meditation in which I affirm each of our requests. It keeps me connected with the divine since the foundation of our circle is the belief that we “co-create” with the divine. It allows me to give, by supporting each of our intentions, and to receive, by welcoming the support that I get from the other women. It shows me that I am not alone by connecting every day with this community of like-minded women. It shows me that I have the power to create what I want in my life. It shows me that Life supports and guides me. It shows me that I belong.

“We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.”
