What is a Sacred Circle?

A Sacred Circle is a group of people who sit in a circle, in the literal and relational sense, and honor the sacredness of their divine nature as individuals and as a group. Not only does each participant take guidance individually by listening to the “inner voice within”, but this guidance is offered to the center of the circle and comes back from it in an augmented resonant manner.

Each guidance, each soul and life experience, when offered to the center, begins to resonate with one another and creates what we experience as a resonant field. The resonant field is the living whole that radiates back toward each of us. It operates as a source of light that illuminates our individual blind spots, makes us grow and find clarity. Then we are in the situation of being able to offer back more and more resonant experience to the Center, and so on. The resonant field works definitely like a complex dynamic system. It creates new layers of reality that transcend and include our individual reality. It offers us more freedom than ever, we are given the opportunity to perform our soul mission and honor the dharma.

Just as life has no goal other than itself and its evolution, a Sacred Circle has no goal other than itself. It fulfills us, it completes us, it keeps us connected to the Divine and let us give voice to It.

It is like a beautiful tree that produces extraordinary fruits, those of fulfillment, bliss and Synchronicity?. Then we don't need to be worried by action anymore: things fall in place together at their own pace, in the rhythm of Soul Time. Our own tasks are “called” when their time has come, and our mind helps deal with complex issues.

What is absolutely new in Sacred Circles today is the will to nurture and maintain them remotely. Humans have been successful so far when sitting in a circle in the same room, expanding this process in a remote manner with more participants is another challenge. While most protocols we observe in the physical world are also true in the online world, new rituals, new technologies, new practices yet have to be invented. This is our quest, this is our commitment, this is our offering to the world.

How do we proceed at the practical level?

Even with trained people, it is difficult to list all the tacit and explicit rules, behaviors and practices applied individually and collectively.

Meditation in a circle in a sacred space is definitely at the heart of the practice.

Whatever we offer or take, whatever knowledge we share or question we ask, whatever joy or pain we address, it is always offered to and taken from the Center. This means that we don't really talk in the one to one usual way, but we experience a live relationship with the center of the circle.

For those who are not very familiar with such process, the Wisdom Circle Format is a set of agreements that we have intuitively applied in our own practice. They are universal.
