Sharing Circle Sharing Circle 1st Thursdays 6-7:30pm Left Hand Chapel Nov 4th-March 3rd Limit 12, Minimum 8. Come join the monthly sharing circle and deepen community connection! Facilitated by Shannon Fletcher. Each participant brings something to share (This can be a piece of writing, an experience you had, a piece of art, music, a conversation that touched you, something you learned, or a question you are holding - basically something that has touched you or felt meaningful.) Each person takes a turn speaking while the rest of us practice mindful listening. The key point is there is no discussion/feedback/crosstalk while in the circle. Shannon will give instructions at the beginning of each group on the art of mindful listening. How does it feel to not respond? To have no response expected? You’ll notice your sensations, thoughts, emotions, etc. We will also start each group with a few minutes of meditation. This type of speaking & listening is not often found in daily life. This is a chance to be truly seen and practice the art of being fully present. There are gifts of giving and receiving happening in both roles deepening intimacy, connection & community. Come, give it a try! There will be time for socializing at the end. Feel free to invite a friend/family member. *You may sign up to drop in any month - no need to commit to all five months. *Pre-registration for each session is requested via email to [email protected]. Limit 12. *Cost - FREE (Donations appreciated & go directly to Left Hand Church to help pay for the rental of the chapel.)
