About the Wisdom and Scholarship Circle:
Gatherings will be minimally facilitated, and our dialogue format will be fluid. Each session begins with a short ritual to arrive and open sacred space. Generally speaking, each woman is allowed several minutes to share her perspectives. We may later proceed into more open and free-wheeling conversation, allowing ideas, stories, and feelings to flow. There will be a “talking stick” in the room in case it is needed or desired by the group. As we grow in our knowledge and respect for one another, we will ever-more- skillfully co-conceive and co-create productive structure for our time together.
In preparation, please be thoughtful about how you would like to see us navigate potentially controversial topics and passionate varying opinions. What will you bring to the group? What would you like to receive and take away from this experience? What do we need to know about you so that we can hold you in a way that allows you to feel relaxed, open-hearted, seen, heard, and cherished?
The Sacred Agreement: In this forum, we will share the responsibility of holding space for respectful, curious, and productive conversation. We will maintain a commitment to confidentiality for each woman’s sharing, as well as a deep knowing that each woman is developing her own perspective and gifts through this experience. Each woman is asked to share from her heart, while tenderly holding attentive and heartfelt space for everyone in the group to do the same. Our shared vision is that each woman feels welcome to learn and imagine openly and in her own way. We arrive in this space with deep respect for diversity of experience, opinion, communication style, and perspective.
