The Honoring Circle

An Honoring Circle creates the space for a small group of five or so individuals get together for about 1 hour to practice deep listening self-awareness, and other awareness development skills. This can take place in-person or online. The goal is to be present in the present moment with fellow members of the confidential group. Witnessing is as important as sharing.

There are three rounds:

Round 1 involves each member of the group sharing what they have been doing over the last few days and its relevance to the here and now.

Round 2 involves each member sharing the quality of being in the moment using four points of focus: i) our heads or minds, ii) our hearts, iii) our body, and iv) our connection with the earth, sky, or universe.

Round 3 involves each member sharing their present awareness of alignment or non-alignment between mind, heart, and emotions both within themselves and within our circle expanding to the larger communities. We may also share reflections, new insights, images, etc., using statements such as "I feel..." "I sense..." "I realize..." as an offering without speaking directly about what another person shared. Some regular HC practitioners report increased ability to be present, and enhanced feelings of self-worth, self-confidence, and trust in their body's inherent intelligence.
