Slow Up Circle of Care for women
A caring space to gather in a spirit of belonging and community
Description
** Please register to reserve your spot (limited availability) and receive any last-minute notifications regarding a specific Circle.** The SLOW UP Circle was born two years ago from a desire to create a space where everyone has the opportunity to express themselves, to be seen and heard. A warm place to feel safe, share openly, feel supported, celebrate our joys together, and honor life’s challenges. The SLOW UP Circle returns this autumn with a new format and a fresh way of highlighting the essence of this intention. I firmly believe that to come together and cultivate authentic, meaningful connections— to touch our own vulnerability and be able to care for others while feeling cared for—we need to SLOW UP. When we SLOW UP, we create space. Space in our schedules, space in our conversations, and in our lives. And within that space lies immense potential: potential for beauty, connection, and care for oneself, each other and the Earth. This new, free 75-minute SLOW UP Circle of Care format will include moments of silence and stillness, opportunities for everyone to share what’s on their heart in the moment, and various inspiring moments such as short talks, poetry readings, reflection time, and guided meditation. Bring a cushion, a blanket, your favorite mug. Anything to be comfortable. Gatherings take place on Sundays, once a month, from 6:15 pm to 7:30 pm -- arrive 15 minutes earlier for tea and connections-- at 3225 E Martha's Cove. For the end of the current year, the planned schedule is as follows: 2026: September 20 October 18 November 15 December 13 In the spirit of generosity, I offer my time, my place and all the humble teaching for this Circle freely. There is the opportunity to offer a donation. By offering donations, you support me to continue teaching Qigong and other powerful practices. It is always warmly and gratefully received. Thank you in advance for your generosity! I appreciate your support for my offerings.
