Sacred Circles Interest Meeting
November 5, 2017 @ 11:30 am - 12:00 pm
Have you been hearing about Sacred Circles? If you are interested or just curious, this meeting is for you. Excerpts from the book Sacred Circles, “There is undeniable power in the shape of the circle. It is one of the fundamental energy patterns in the natural world. Circles collect and focus energy. We sit facing inward. We create our own rituals, we are sisters in spirit and bosom buddies.” If you would like to explore this idea plan to join us on Sunday, November 5, at 11:30 in the conference room. Questions? Contact Pat Hayes, Sue Johns, or Sheila Weise.
