Our first circle is tomorrow


Hello dear one,

Just a quick note: our very first community circle is tomorrow, Saturday, September 12, at 1:00pm EDT. About 90 minutes, on Zoom.

It's a gentle, welcoming space, come to share, to ask, or simply to listen. There's nothing to prepare and nothing you have to say. Come as you are, for as much or as little as feels right. By donation, and everyone is welcome.

If you'd like to join us, save your spot here and we'll send you the link:

Rebecca

Hello dear one, Just a quick note before the weekend: the Fall Equinox Radical Rest Retreat begins tomorrow, this Friday, September 18, at 12pm EDT, and there's still room if you'd like to join us. You don't have to be ready. You don't have to clear the whole weekend. You can drop in for one call, rest for an hour, or take part in whatever way fits your actual life.
