About this Event
When we circle together, we bring our hearts, our listening and our speaking to the center, and we co-create a space of sacredness.
It is in this spirit that I invite you to a series of 3 virtual circles for Career Changers and anyone looking for more Purpose in their current work. We will engage in meaningful questions to deepen our presence in the here and now, and envision the future.
You can join just one or all three circles. We will meet every other week, on Wednesday July 15, July 29 and August 12.
Each circle will take place live online and will be INTERACTIVE. Choose between participating at 11 am or at 8 pm Eastern. You can calculate your local time to participate here.
WHEN YOU REGISTER, you will receive a link to connect on Zoom about one hour before the start of our Virtual Circle. If you don't see the email, check your Spam and Promotion folders.
A few years ago I began to look for ways to interact and live outside of our cultural paradigm of domination. I found that approach in Circles.
john a. powell says that the antidote to “othering” is not sameness, but belonging. When we come together in Circle, we create sacred space. It is not you + me. It is you + me + every person who joins us + the interpersonal field in between. It is not just the sum of each component, it is something more.
And so, in the safety and welcoming of Circle, we can hold and be present to what we couldn't hold alone. We can hold each other. We can hold the uncertainty, the grief, the anger, the love, the peace, the uncertainty, the messy experience of being alive, the possibilities of creating a different future. We can hold our own insights.
Participating in a Circle is a way to deepen our own presence, our own insights about what is happening, our own relationship to the deeper Self.
Will you join us in Circle?
Here are all the details:

Circle Two: Relating (July 29) RSVP here
We need each other - and our relationships can help us grow beyond what we think possible. What does relating mean to you? How can we move from transactional to authentic being in our encounters?
