Sacred Circle
On Zoom and In-Person
Connect in Community
Are you looking for a place to connect in community? Seeking a place where you can talk about your faith in an open and non-judgmental environment? Join us for Sacred Circle. Carve out a special time each month to draw on God’s comfort and strength through the sharing of your joys and challenges of life. It’s a special way to share the monthly retreat reflections.
Sacred Circle is a contemplative listening experience, which means it is about holy listening. Trained facilitators will guide you through a structured sharing format that creates the opportunity for deep listening and a respect for each person’s sacred story.
Each Sacred Circle is a stand-alone session and new participants are always welcome.
Share in a Sacred Place
Whether you join us online or in-person, each session will include:
An opening prayer and some quiet time to help calm our minds.
Sharing based on the Monthly Retreat Reflection, which we encourage you to read ahead of time. You are always free to not share.
An explanation of the sharing process and review of the Sharing Agreements.
Retreat, Reflect, Renew Founder Christine Jurisich shares what you can expect and the beauty behind this special offering in this four-minute video.
Meet Your Facilitators
We have a team of trained facilitators who will welcome you and walk you through the sharing process. Take a look at who will be facilitating your session.
Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention… especially if it’s given from the heart. When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but receive them. Just take them in. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it.
