Many past clients who have come to see me have mentioned a yearning to connect with other people to share in spiritually focused conversations.
Many mention how isolated they feel since their current friends or family are not interested or do not believe in the magical and mysterious ways of the world. Since I heard this longing from many over and over I felt it was a nudge for me to create a space where people can come together and share about the Mystery together. So in January of 2020 I started a group called the Mystery Circle .
What is a Mystery Circle?
This is a talking circle, a space for people to meet twice a month, to meet other people who are curious and exploring their way through the Mystery of their spiritual journey. It is a place for people to share spiritual experiences they are having, hoping to have, spiritually based topics they are reading that excite them, experiences they have heard other's having that they are curious about, have discussions about topics they are fascinated about and want to learn more about etc. Basically it is a space to be open and share with others who also are excited about their journey but may not have others in their communities to share with.
What are the topics that are ok to discuss in this group?
All spiritual topics are welcome for discussion. Topics may be about: energy, chakras, syncronicities, dreams, personal spiritual experiences, wonderings, questions, shamanism, ritual, ceremony, spirit guides, power animals, family lineage with spiritual practice that isn't being discussed, fears about the spiritual realms, spiritual boundaries, hucha (heavy energy), personal power, self-care, sharing of art/poetry connected to spiritual practice or experiences, Future Self, the Unified Field, spiritual books or movies, past lives, fairies, angels, grounding, creating sacred space, near death experiences, journeying, Earth based spirituality etc. All the topics I have mentioned here are topics I am familiar with and work with. If you are curious about topics outside these examples that is fine too.

What is the format for each meeting?
1)We begin by Opening Sacred Space/Altar Item Brief Share-Lighting a candle for each person present & sharing about the item that you brought to place on the altar, to weave our energy together and continue to learn about each other's story.
2)Personal Sharing Round-Sometimes a person may want to share something and not hear any feedback, advice or have a discussion about their sharing. It can be about a personal experience or something they are scared about or excited about, or many other possibilities.
3)Discussion Round-We create a list of topics that the current group is interested in and focus in on 2-3 topics each time. We can be inspired by other people's stories and wonderings, bounce ideas off each other, and share from our own experience or share stories we have heard about other people. I will share whatever I know about the topic during the discussion.

Where will we meet?
Currently on Zoom!
When Coronavirus restrictions are over we will meet in the back cabin at my house (this is where I meet with clients for private sessions),
635 S. Governor St. Iowa City
Will there be a permanent group meeting on Zoom after the Coronavirus restrictions are lifted?
Yes, if there are people who have joined that don't live in the area, but would like to continue to meet on Zoom, we will make this happen.
Do participants have to live in the Iowa City area to join?
Initially this was an In-Person Group but I am now opening this up to those who are outside of our area (meaning even those across the country), so you are welcome to invite a friend who lives far a way and we can continue on Zoom after the Coronavirus restrictions.
Who will be there?
The same 6-8 people will meet each time, so that they can all get to know each other, create trust, learn about each person, and possibly continue friendships outside the group.
What day and time?
Tuesday Nights, 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month (twice a month), 7:30pm-9:30pm
*Are you interested but Tuesday Nights don't work for you?
Please let me know, as I am creating a list to start a 2nd group on a different day/time.
What this group is not?
This group is not therapy, I am not a therapist.
Cost?
The cost has gone down to $10 during the Coronavirus.
When we meet in person again it will go back to $20 and at that time the
Zoom-Only Meeting Groups will also go back to $20 after Coronavirus restrictions are over.
(The reason for the current reduction in cost is to help out those who are receiving less income or having other financial pressures at this time.)
Ideal size?
6-8 people
