"By gathering people into a circle where we can all look into each other’s eyes, using some simple structure, principles and practices to help hold the conversation, and being intentional about the way we engage with each other, we can dramatically shift our conversations. I’ve seen it happen again and again. People engage more intentionally than they normally do, conflict is resolved in constructive ways, and there is honesty and authenticity in the way we show up for each other". - Heather Plett
inspired words
"Delicate golden threads glisten
as they entwine and connect us while we listen
Here we are safe
Here we are comfortable
Heartache tumbles and spills from our lips
as tears swell in our eyes
and the stories settle down low inside our hips
This is where we shield our lives
Here we are safe
Here we are held
Women coming together in need
Females wanting a creed
Acknowledgment dancing on the faces who heed
Here we are safe
Here we are loved
This is the feminine journey in time
Not wanting to be feel less or low
A desire to move forward
to strive, to exceed, to grow
Here we are safe
Here we share
Sisters held gently within the rim of a cup
while love fills this chalice
we dive in releasing malice,
all hatred, our tears and our fears
Here we are safe
Here we are heard
The connection all powerful
the circle is strong,
no judgement, no fixing
there is no wrong
Here we are safe
Here we can just be
I think - therefore I am
I grow - therefore I am the circle"

Thank you for holding space for me on my journey to emotional heath
Thank you for not judging me or telling me I should be over it by now
Thank you for accepting me as I am now and celebrating how far I have come
Thank you for holding the mirror reflecting back a positive image of myself
Thank you for every healing hug, kind word, and encouragement.
Thank you for listening and hearing
Thank you for providing a people filled space where I feel safe
Thank you for challenging me
Thank you for caring
Thank you for trusting me with your story

In a loose circle we sit, lounge really, on plump,
soft sofas and large ottomans
Surrounded by an array of colourful pillows and textured throws.
We didn't bring our story, our colour, or race.
Upon us gently falls a feeling of grace.
Together we cut the ties that had hung
on us as we entered this place.
Swiftly and surely, imaginary swords removed
these weights and we swept them
off the vast veramhah back out into the universe.
We were ready to be held here in comfort,
in safety, in this sweet place.
Joining our spirits, listening to each others hearts
chatting quietly, a few sobs of relief, and a couple of laughs.
We are equal with our peers, supported and held up high.
As the evening creates its own energy, the angels emerge in us and we learn to fly.
Giving thanks for all we have, all we will be and can be
Acknowledging the lessons we have yet t learn is not easy
But to be held in this place, so tenderly and secure
I trust myself to move forward with the confidence and courage the circle has given me.
Thankyou, Tina Maree Grigson, January 2016
