Connecting Together invites a group of like-minded people who wish for self-understanding, group integration, friendliness, and supportive guidance. In this context we choose to come together to create an environment of mindful speaking and deep listening where confidentiality is the template on which communication is built between participants. A key part of the process is establishing a “Set of Agreements” that make possible a container of safety, mutual respect, kindness and caring that is foundational for dynamic exchange.
Each session consists of a brief meditation practice, a check-in period for each individual to share what is most present for them, an opportunity for an emergent theme to develop from this process, and/ or the facilitator to offer a theme for discussion. Each person is able to receive guidance and suggestions for their particular concerns and other group members can participate in this discussion if agreed upon within the group setting. The intention is to allow an exchange of views, perspectives, and agreements that add to each person’s well-being, ease, happiness, and freedom.
The personal confidence and interpersonal skills learned in these four weeks are a valuable resource for ongoing exchanges in regard to the common good.
