Perhaps you...

• experience isolation and loneliness amidst a culture fractured by social-distancing and political division

• have stories to tell, but no safe and accepting space in which you can share them

• want inspiration and resilience to strengthen your soul for the challenges of pandemic days

If you also want to...

• enjoy listening to and sharing life stories

• improve your storytelling and listening skills

• connect to others with heart-centered compassion

• build soul community with like-minded, wise, and fascinating people

Resilient Spirit Story Circle is for you!

Join us as we gather on the winter solstice to share stories, listen with compassion, and reflect together around the theme of "Darkness into Light."

On the winter solstice, people in the northern hemisphere experience the "longest night." So tonight we'll work through a few prompts which invite you to share stories of times when you experienced nighttime wonder and delight, as well as stories of times you experienced the darkness of confusion and doubt. We'll lean into the hope of the lengthening daylight and the awakening of new life as the seasons turn once more from winter toward spring.

This story circle is a safe and friendly place to speak your authentic truth into an accepting community of listeners, and listen to your own heart's wisdom.
