I have decided to do my free inquiry project on circles. Circles are a way to come together as a community and interact with each other in a meaningful and honest way. I am interested in this concept because it opens an individual up to experiencing or processing things like emotions, relationships hardship, addiction and many other things. It is an inclusive setting which encourages group support and sharing. The idea comes from indigenous cultures; who create these circles to strengthen the community.

In specific, I will be facilitating a Men’s Circle throughout this term. On Monday evenings, I have 8 or 10 individuals who have agreed to meet and do this type of work. Our purpose in the dive into our personal stories- to learn more about who we are so we can be better, more embodied versions of ourselves.

Tonight (september 23rd) is the first group. I am slightly anxious about what to do in regards to the starting time – it was supposed to be at 7:00 but may have to be at 7:30. We will see how it goes!
