Theory
In Circle Toward Wholeness,
we learn to quiet the noise around us in order
to hear the wisdom of our inner voices. We believe
each of us has our own inner teacher whose guidance is
closer to truth than anything we can find outside of us. We
gather in community to practice deep compassionate listening and
asking open, honest questions so that we can support each other on our
journeys. The inner journey is very difficult. Venturing alone, we will find
that the clues are often subtle and confusing. Through honest open dialogue and
relationship that develops in our circles, we can help each other hear their own
voice of truth. To do this, we intentionally create a quiet, focused and disciplined
space for our work. Our practices will include silence and solitude as well as journaling,
dance, and communal reflection. Soul spaces are beautiful in the same sense as sacred
places in nature and we will work close to such spaces as much as we can. As we
reconnect with our inner voice, we will effectively bring more soul/spirit
to our various roles in this world. If we could spread this reconnection
like a virus, we would find ourselves in a new world model of nonviolence.
As we learn to act in ways that honor the soul/spirit, we will become
more aware that there is no difference between our inner
and outer lives. It is all one space and together,
we are constrantly co-creating the
world we live in.
