Sacred Circle Foundations

Holding Space

Space holding is more about subtraction than addition—less fixing, more listening. Let silence do part of the weaving. A gentle nod can be a profound blessing. Trust the intelligence of the circle.

  • Listen with your whole being, not just your mind
  • Hold neutral compassion for whatever arises
  • Use silence as a sacred tool for deepening
  • Trust the collective wisdom to emerge naturally

Opening a Circle

Begin with a breath together. Offer a simple shared intention. Invite consent for sacred presence. Establish a closing moment before deep sharing begins. Honor the sacred nature of gathering.

  • Ground the group with shared breathing or meditation
  • Establish clear agreements and boundaries
  • Set sacred intention for the gathering
  • Create container for vulnerable sharing
