"The hardest thing to see is what is in front of your eyes."

— Goethe

Workshops

Circle Think workshops explore a single subject and range from three hours to a full day. Most workshops are offered both online and in person. They combine contemplative practice, experiential learning, community reflection, and practical application.

Each workshop stands on its own while contributing to a broader understanding of Circle as a living field of orientation. Participants leave with practices and perspectives that can be naturally integrated into everyday life, relationships, creative work, and the communities they serve.

Circle Think workshops guide you into the intelligence of Circle by guiding you to center in essence, root into Earth, and open to the infinite potential of Sky. Through these practices, you’ll awaken your central axis and strengthen connection to your Right to Be. If you’re ready to come into coherence, revitalize, and return to wholeness in kinship with life, join us for a workshop.

Centering in Essence

Being centered is a critical skill—it connects us to our deepest knowing, pulling us out of the fray and into presence. Centering in Essence is a workshop where you will learn to connect with, and come to know, your core presence—the you before you, the eternal Self. This workshop offers a profound daily practice for anchoring in presence, grounded in an untouchable sense of wholeness that emanates from within, and supports you in reclaiming your Right to Be.

You’ll Learn To 

  • Locate the center point of your being, guided by a powerful breath and visualization practice based on the Vajrayana notion of thigle
  • Connect with and explore your own unique “seed syllable,” the essence of your consciousness, and pathway into the infinite potentiality, from which we emerge.  
  • Work with centering practice as a portal into the healing potential of infinite love.  

Pre-requisites: No prior experience needed with meditation or Circle Think. 

For individuals ready to root deeply into their essence and Right to Be. 

Available online or in-person.

As Earth-bodied beings, our vitality and wholeness are rooted in our connection with the living Earth. Heart of Earth is a workshop where you will learn to ground your center point into the pulse of the land, deepening intimacy with Mother Earth as sovereign and sentient. This practice strengthens resilience, opens the pathway for receiving guidance from the Earth, and supports you in reclaiming your Right to Be in kinship with all life through Fair and Equitable Exchange

You’ll Learn To

  • Ground your center point into the living presence of Earth through breath and visualization.
  • Awaken the flow of energy between body and land to receive nourishment and guidance.
  • Embody resilience rooted in Earth’s gravity and wholeness.

For those who are ready to reweave their primal connection with Earth and experience their Right to Be in kinship with all life.

Pre-requisite: Centering in Essence. Available online or in-person.

Open to the field of infinite potential, spacious awareness, and the living intelligence of the cosmos. Heart of Sky is a workshop where you will learn to orient beyond limitation, touching the vast source from which all emerges. This practice expands from Right to Be and kinship with the whole into cultivating expansive vision grounded in Altruism—the natural outpouring of care that flows when we live as guardians of life in continuity and coherence with the whole.

You’ll Learn To

  • Expand into spacious awareness through to the spacious field of Heart of Sky through breath and visualization practices.
  • Experience the infinite potentiality of consciousness resting in vastness and devotion. 
  • Cultivate altruism as a lived orientation, allowing care for all beings to move naturally through you.

For those who are ready to cultivate spacious awareness and be in service to the whole.

Pre-requisite: Centering in Essence; Heart of Earth. 

Available online or in-person.

Reclaim rage as a sacred, life-giving force. In the face of personal violations, systemic injustices, and collective wounding, our rage is a sacred messenger. Without access to it, it is difficult to truly stand in our Right to Be and uphold our responsibility as guardians of life. When the energy of violations—whether ancestral, cultural, or interpersonal—remains unexpressed, it becomes stored in the body as blockage. This suppression displaces us from our essence, cutting us off from the truth, our vitality, and our rightful place in the web of life. 

You’ll leave with:

  • A felt sense of your Right to Be—with a practice of returning to steadfast centeredness
  • Practices for working with sacred rage as a source of clarity, energy, and protection.
  • Embodied tools for restoring coherence after confronting injustice.
  • A deepened commitment to standing strong as a guardian of Gaia and humanity. 

For the woman ready to awaken her fierce protector, stand firm as a guardian of life, and embody her power in the face of injustice.

Two Circle Walk is a full day gathering where we weave together individual and community wisdom. We begin by evoking the Circle in a ceremonial container. In this space we work with ritual cleansing and Right to Be before journeying into each person’s essential lessons from the previous year. Participants undertake an individual Circle walk, asking: What is the universe asking of me now? The insights revealed on this quest are brought back and shared in Circle, so that the wisdom of each person is woven together by the collective as part of a whole.

Rooted in an ancient teaching passed down by Paula Underwood, this practice also serves as an introduction to Circle as Map—illuminating how we can orient our lives within the larger flow of universal patterns.

You’ll Learn To

  • Evoke your alliance with Circle in a ritual space.
  • Reflect on and share essential lessons from your lived experience.
  • Undertake an individual Circle walk as a form of inquiry into life’s unfolding.
  • Integrate personal insight into communal wisdom through the Circle process.

For those who wish to experience Circle as a living guide into clarity, alignment, and kinship.

No prerequisites. Available in-person only.
