Class Description: Indigenous Circle Practice is a way to listen deeply, share openly, hold silence, and transform communities. We will gather in a circle on Earth Day, holding our feelings about the violation of our planet – we will feel our grief, express our hope, share our work, and be strengthened to face the road ahead. Under the sensitive guidance of Strong Oak and her many years of experience with Circle Practice, the group will honor the reverence of the space and the gathered group while sharing what lays on our hearts. You are invited to bring all your feelings – including weariness and despair. You will be fortified so that you can continue the work to confront this climate emergency – work that must be done by all of us. Everyone warmly welcome, join us.
