Creative Sage Circles
Come Into the Circle
The Circle has been an important part of my own journey.
For many years I have gathered with women in circles of creativity, reflection and shared wisdom. Around those circles I learned as much as I offered. We listened. We questioned. We created. We laughed. Sometimes we simply sat quietly together. We brought our stories, our uncertainties, our discoveries and the wisdom of our lived experience into the center.
Over time, I began to recognize something taking shape. The practices that had become part of our gatherings—pausing, listening, wondering, reflecting, creating, engaging and celebrating—were also becoming part of the way I wanted to live.
In many ways, the Circle helped bring me to the CreativeSage Way.
And now the Circle continues.
CreativeSage Circles offer a welcoming space to gather with kindred souls—to pause from the busyness of everyday life, explore questions and possibilities, express the creative spirit within, and share some of the wisdom we are gathering along the way.
The Rhythm of Circle
Each CreativeSage Circle has its own focus and flavor, yet beneath each gathering is a familiar rhythm.
We arrive and take time to become present. We pause and center ourselves, leaving some of the busyness of everyday life behind. We listen—to ourselves, to one another and to what may be quietly asking for our attention.
Through conversation, reflection and creative exploration, we wonder together. There may be questions to ponder, stories to share, something to create, or simply an opportunity to listen and be present.
There is room for silence as well as sharing. You are invited to participate in your own way, honoring both your own boundaries and the experiences of others.
And before we leave, we pause once more—to reflect, acknowledge what we have discovered and carry something of the Circle back into our everyday lives.
Arrive • Pause • Listen • Wonder • Create • Share • Reflect • Carry Forth
Four Ways to Circle
Each Circle is an extension of The Way of the CreativeSage and its Six-Fold Path. Each offers a different way to explore the portals through reflection, creative expression, conversation, and shared experience.
Breath & Being
Pause • Pray
A time to become still, breathe and reconnect with the present moment. Through quiet reflection, meditation and inspiration, we make space to listen for what is calling from within.
Queries & Quandaries
Ponder • Prepare
A place to wonder aloud, live with meaningful questions and explore possibilities together. We need not have the answers. Sometimes the question itself opens the way.
Spark & Soul
Play
An invitation to explore through creative expression—words, images, music, movement or whatever form calls to you. We create for discovery, delight and expression, not performance or perfection.
Reflection & Rapture
Praise
A time to reflect upon what we have experienced and discovered, honor the wisdom gathered along the way, express gratitude and celebrate the ordinary and extraordinary gifts of being alive.
Find Your Way Into the Circle
There is no single way to Circle. You may feel drawn to one, explore several, or move among them as your own CreativeSage journey unfolds. Each offers another way to pause, ponder, play, and deepen the journey from wonder to wisdom.
Come as you are. Enter where you are drawn.
