Charis Circles Facilitator Training Retreat |
|
|
At the end of June we held our 4th training retreat for Charis Circles facilitators. A joy-filled group of 19 of us gathered at Charis Mandala Sanctuary in Des Moines, NM for 5 days to immerse ourselves in the Charis Medication and Charis Circles practices. It was an honor to have such a dynamic group interspiritually mingling and growing to care deeply for one another. We now embark on a 6-month online training process for these new facilitators. |

Charis CirclesCharis Circles are small, interspiritual practice communities which may be established anywhere in the world by trained facilitators. Featuring a communal practice of Charis Meditation and a shared practice of spiritual reading, Charis Circles provide a broadly accessible way to experience interspiritual community. Charis Circles are held either in-person or online, and serve to feed a deep hunger for spiritual community and practice. |

Amid continuing changes to our spiritual and religious landscape, we explore the tenets of living a life dedicated to spiritual development and truth.

Nature’s Corner from Charis Mandala Sanctuary |
|
| The thistle can share many insights with us. A symbol of protection and resilience, its rugged beauty can be seen as a strength born from adversity, and a fierce spirit that can withstand the elements of a sometimes harsh nature. It can also be a symbol of the spiritual journey and change, with its prickly exterior growing into a vibrant flower we can see that one must endure challenges to expand, revealing their inner beauty. |
