Community of Circle Practice Weekend

... picking up the threads from the November 2011 Peerspirit circle practicum at Daylesford, Victoria and the one day circle training at Abbotsford convent in Melbourne...

Specifically, we want to use circle to inquire into how we support each other to deepen our practice of circle, and to reflect on our stories, learnings and opportunities.

 So you are invited to a  community of circle practice in March from Friday evening 7pm on the 18th – to  - Sunday 230pm in the afternoon of the 20th at the Log Cabin Camp and Conference Centre. It is situated in Monbulk on 10 acres of rolling hills in the beautiful Dandenong and Yarra Ranges, to the south east of Melbourne. 

The place is booked already, and we are looking to join-with approximately 20 participant-co-learners. We would have wet weather cover in the comfortable main hall, and lots of options to be in circle (small and large, indoor and out), reflect together – as well explore questions that are alive for each of us together. Additionally the option is to meander, walk tracks, meet and share, sleep, pray, dream, eat or rest playfully – each as you are led.

As callers we hope to hold this space lightly, and invite participants to consider their contribution, their learning, and how they might come forward to offer to host a session, bring some new-or-old way to open the space, welcome the day or evening with the group, lead a reflection, song or teaching piece – or something entirely other that speaks. Your thoughtful contributions singly and in groups are most welcome. Please reflect on this calling question – ‘how we support each other to deepen our practice of circle’ and come ready to play, offer, learn, rest, and stretch-out.

As callers we will open and close the weekend and each day in circle, enabling the group to lead following in what is alive for them in the times in-between Friday evening and Sunday afternoon.
