Talking Circle
The
The Circle is form for discourse and sharing because it gathers the people around sacred energy (the elements or intention) and acknowledges The Circle of Life and the Living. Each person comes to the circle to listen and witness - the talking is meant to be listening out loud. It is a way to express deeper listening and remember to listen for the voices that could not be present. The talking stick/rock/pouch is not a microphone to be passed around but rather a reminder to each person in the circle that humans are not the only presence in the circle. Humans are in the circle with the stone people, the tree nation, the oceans and rivers and so on. Each person speaking who holds the stick/pouch/stone is called to listen to their own hearts and listen for the voices of all our relations ( all life on the planet). So the conversation that reveals itself in the talking circle is accretive, a growing chorus of the voices of the people, the landscape, and the Mystery.

Is there an intention that this (way of breathing via the internet) is or becomes a talking circle?
