Writing from the heart

This writing circle is inspired by our internal creative spaces and by listening deeply to self. We welcome all experiences and levels of creativity. There are no prerequisites. This is not a learning-how-to-write or critique circle. Instead, it's a healing circle in which we embrace the agreements of deep listening, compassion, respect, and safety. It's a place where we show up with a willingness to care and share, and where we allow our experiences to unfold through the support of a listening community. We write our hearts’ wisdom found in the silence of listening to our own inner voice and witness. We do not presume to fix or change one another's writing. Sharing is welcome, but there is no requirement to do so.

Women healing from injustice

This circle will be a safe space for women to come together to talk about what matters to us. All too often, we internalize the stressors of oppression, racism, sexism, and inequality and turn them against ourselves. This takes a big toll on us.

It's time for us to stand up for change, use our voices, and be H.E.A.R.D. (Heal, Empower, Accept, Reset, and Discover).

Expressive Arts

Everyone is an artist, and everyone is a healer. We feel inspired by Rachel Naomi Remen's words when she says: "At the deepest level, the creative process and the healing process arise from a single source. When you are an artist, you are a healer; a wordless trust of the same mystery is the foundation of your work and its integrity."

In some of these circles, we will chant, draw, move, and or write.

Exploring eldering for women over 65 who are living on their own

Let’s come together and share the pleasures and perils of our experience as we seek understanding beyond the ageism of the dominant culture. Our circle will be a blend of sharing and silence, compassion and curiosity as we cultivate our own visions of eldering. We will honour honesty and openness as we delve deeply into this transformative stage of life; a pioneering life that can include a conscious equanimity that allows us to be with the way things are…beyond preference. Our Healing Circle will nourish co-creating a safe space allowing our own unique paths to unfold and flourish.

Poetry and the soul’s yearning: Discovering the invisible

“Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away.” Carl Sandburg

This circle is a monthly coming together to hear poems that can reveal the unknown and a new path of meaning and belonging. The 30-minute reading by Judith Adams of her own and others work will be followed by a healing circle to discover and share what makes life meaningful to us.

Judith Adams has published four books of poetry. She was selected as a Washington State Humanities speaker from 2018-2021 and has been a Healing Circles Langley host since 2015.

Death and Dying: Impermanence and the gift of life

We come together to hold space for one another as we share insights about death and dying, yet also about the wonders of life and living in relationship to impermanence. This circle strives for honesty, openness, and courage as we delve deep, beyond the surface, to discuss what may be the ultimate question or mystery we face: death. In the process, we co-create a space of steadfast compassion and sincere listening.

Coming Together for Peace

During these poly-crises of wars, political, economic, and social unrest, climate change, and the global pandemic, many of us feel unmoored, off-center, deeply troubled, maybe even traumatized. Change seems to be the only constant. In the midst of uncertainty and conflict, we also experience a deep desire to connect in our shared humanity. We may want to hear from others, seek their perspectives, and be invited into their experiences and lifeworlds, however strange and different these may seem. We may want to assemble an image of our global mosaic, learn to see and hear what we have not seen or heard before. Above all, we may want to feel united in our desire for peace and justice and learn about our different interpretations of what this looks like.

If any of this resonates with you we welcome you to join our circle.

Supporting each other through life's transitions

We invite participants of all ages, particularly the younger generation, to join this intergenerational inquiry about choices and challenges related to leading a meaningful life. We may engage questions such as: Who am I without my familiar environment? What is my purpose, beyond my work or study? How can I provide for myself and others while following my passion? How can I adapt to new roles, such as mother/father? How can I balance commitment & freedom? We believe that authentic sharing, and witnessing each other's stories increases the resilience and courage we need to move through vulnerable spaces of transition.

Women's circle

For many women, our lives were challenging enough, and now we're affected by unprecedented events that have turned our lives upside down and inside out.

Each day, we watch news of the pandemic, injustices, and a planet in peril. In response, our emotions may vacillate between anxiety and resilience, despair and hope, grief, and love. Just when we need it the most, our normal means of contact, connection, and support have been strained if not uprooted.

Our women’s healing circle offers a safe, supportive space to walk with each other through these times. Each circle is a blend of sharing and silence, compassion, and curiosity. It’s a space where we connect with other women who are experiencing similar challenges, feelings and emotions. Where we can speak truth from our heart without judgment. Our agreements ensure acceptance and confidentiality. We honor our own unique paths to healing and respect the choices of others.

Expressing grief through the arts

Experiencing any kind of loss or change in circumstance can have a big or small impact on our lives. We may grieve knowingly or unknowingly--in silence or alone. In this healing circle, we use the expressive arts to access what's on our hearts. We offer a pathway of self-discovery and expression through poetry, free-writing, and drawing--in a space that honors, choice, confidentiality, compassion, respect, and deep listening.

Aging Together 2: Discovering depth, grace and beauty in aging

Aging provides an opportunity to open to the world in new ways, bringing depth, meaning, and wholeness to our lives. Inevitable losses may lead to unexpected depths of feeling and new levels of authenticity. As others witness our attempts to age with grace, we reflect back to them the challenges that come with accepting the changes in our body and mind over which we don’t have control. As the complexity of our lives gives way to a new simplicity we may encounter a beautiful luminescence which is part of living a soulful way.

European circle

We are experiencing difficult and uncertain times. In just over a year, our lives in Europe (and everywhere) have dramatically changed. Sometimes, we feel powerless, overwhelmed, angry, sad, unsettled … And just when we need it most, our normal means of contact, connection, and support have been strained if not uprooted.

This circle is offered to people living in Europe. We will be communicating in English.

Transitions de vie

Nous traversons tous une période mouvementée. Le monde d'hier s'efface : la pandémie, la crise climatique, les inégalités sociales, la guerre en Ukraine ont pour toujours changé notre vie. En sus, notre quotidien apporte son lot de peines : séparations, maladies, isolement, perte d’un emploi…. Face à ces défis personnels, avec un futur incertain nous pouvons nous sentir vulnérable et seul.

Le cercle de parole s’adresse à tous ceux et à toutes celles qui vivent une transition et qui aimeraient traverser ces changements en se sentant entouré. C’est un lieu où chacun peut partager ses émotions, ses peurs, ses vulnérabilités en toute confidentialité. Le cercle propose un cadre sécurisé avec une écoute bienveillante, ouverte, sans jugement, sans conseils, ni solutions. Il s'agit simplement d'être là, présent l'un pour l'autre.
