2024 Circle of Trust Cohort in the Colorado Front Range

What we offer in these circles is a dream of unique personal and communal ‘belonging’ to this physical land and human-time on Earth. Learning to live whole-heartedly as individuals within a culture that mostly hides behind its own shadow. We aspire to support each other in fully emerging as soulful beings-in-process, at every age and life-stage. To learn from and through “the Elder within”.

We each have the fiery birthright capacity to be elders-in-training to serve as channels of life energy on behalf of the greater village we live in.

We are in a constant process of connection and re-membering what has been lost from our ancestors and their traditions, weaving ‘here and now’ moments, creating a flow together, and trusting for more clarity how we are being called to offer that flow back into the world in this season of disintegration. Where our human systems are breaking down, we dream for new ways for sustainability as psycho-spiritual and embodied humanity – as living, loving, consciously-networking members of Mother Earth.

This series of four Thursday evening sessions and two weekend retreats explores issues of transition, vocation, passion and underlying life patterns in order to help us live in greater alignment with our values, reconnecting who we are with what we do. Using the rhythms of the seasons to guide us, we explore the wholeness of our lives, especially tracking how nature speaks as a soul teacher. We will offer poetry and prose, small and large group discussion, personal reflection, journaling, embodiment and mindfulness practices to foster renewal, courage, and trust as individuals and in community with the Front Range of Colorado bioregion. In a closing weekend camping retreat, immersed in the wild, we will offer clearness circles, a Quaker communal process for individual discernment.
