In The Sacred Circle

Experience the Power of Circling

In The Sacred Circle is a place to experience the wisdom of humanity, to connect to the mysteries and beauty within every heart. Simply by sitting in a circle, participating in the ritual, sharing your truth and being witnessed by your peers, can provide a radical transformation in your life. Ritual is a form of direct knowing, something indigenous to the psyche. It has evolved with us, knowing into our very bones. Here is where we wake up the sages within us, the collective unconscious, the many lives, those parts of our brains that have been ignored. Here is where we make the repressed visible.The circle speaks and attunes us with one another, to the land, and to the invisible world of Spirit. It reminds us that all things and all people are connected. Given the opportunity to hear someone else’s story, we realize that we are not alone with our questions, struggles or triumphs. The false assumption that we all carry – that we are so different or so flawed – simply melts away and is replaced by empathy, compassion, and connection.

There are many concerns that are addressed through ritual in the circle; these are the universal themes of healing, gratitude, initiation, visionary or divinatory processes, grief, maintenance, renewing the earth, reconciliation and peacemaking. Whatever the concern is, participating in any of the soul-nourishing rituals is a mindfulness practice that uses proven techniques that bind us to soul, community, nature, and the sacred. Through using our creativity, sharing stories, deep listening and interconnected meditation, In The Sacred Circle empowers, heals and renews lives. Here is a place to remember who you truly are. Simply by being witnessed, held and supported, radical transformation is possible.

Sacred Imbolc Ritual Circle

February 1, 2025
4:30 PM
In-Person

Imbolc is the initiatory gateway where winter meets spring, it is the pregnant belly or warming seed about to give birth, when the bright green of grasses begin to emerge from beneath the soils. The cold magic of winter is still in the air, but the barren tree branches are now met with a warming sunlight. The spark of spring is kindling; the return of light is upon us. The birth of our new beginning, new perspective ignites the flow of mother’s loving care. It is with such nurturing we tend and nurture our new beginnings and becomings in early spring. I invite you, in-person, for our Imbolc Ritual Circle where we will be honouring this time. Join us, in a cosy, relaxed and intimate circle for meditation, journaling and sharing thoughts, feelings and reflections in a safe space

Dedicated Support Programs

Dreamcatcher

Sacred Dream Circle

January 30 - March 6
6:30 -8:30 PM ET
Online

This Sacred Dream Group is grounded in the belief that dream images, stories, and emotions carry important messages for the deep inner work that brings us into greater consciousness. Working with dreams opens a communication channel between the conscious and unconscious worlds, allowing us to use dream messages for healing inner wounds, increasing self-awareness, understanding our life purpose, and problem-solving in our waking life. This program will take place weekly on Thursdays from January 30th to Thursday March 6th, from 6:30 to 8:30pm (ET) on Zoom. Our group is capped at 6 members and we will be following the Projective Dream format. This is not a therapy group, yet participation often leads to new insight for both the dreamer and the group co-dreamers.

Sacred Perinatal Bereavement Programs

No one understands what it’s like to suffer the loss of a baby like a parent who has been there. Wherever you are in your grief, please know that you are not alone. Support is here for you, whether it is today, a month from today, or a year from today. The sole purpose of this program is to come alongside moms and families who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth and/or infant loss, bringing comfort, encouragement, companionship and hope as they continue to walk this side of eternity without their beloved son or daughter.

Our group is a safe space for you to share, or just listen. We encourage you to share your story and your baby with us, but you don’t have to until you are ready.

During each sacred circle meeting, a brief presentation is followed by a guided open discussion. Topics include: coping with grief, responses of family, friends, and others to the loss, the impact of loss on the couple’s relationship, individual responses to loss, the difficulty of facing another pregnancy, and sharing mementos. A reunion meeting is held several weeks after the last of the six sessions.

Each group requires a commitment to attend all six sessions in person. Our groups are 90 minutes (1.5 hours) in length. The first ~30 minutes is providing information, education, and establishing group guidelines. The next ~60 minutes is “talk time,” in which group members share and talk with each other. Group members must be present for the group guidelines before joining in the discussion or “talk time.”

Both programs are open to all regardless of background, religion, gender and sexual orientation. All faiths are welcome, as are single parents.

Two different support groups are offered for those who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss.
