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.
