Midweek, midday, a group of creative spirits from The Circle gathers at the Well, an online space where we find community. Through conversation, connection and reflection,, our sharing dovetails and weaves into community. Don’t ask me how it happens, but the sum is always greater than the individual parts. Community, even found in an hour, is good medicine.

We take time in the hour to share and find the connections and interconnections. I make sure we also have time to integrate and reflect on where in all of the mix there might be a little something something whispering that we can take with us into the rest of the week.

Something happens that I think is magic…from the sharing and the connection we find, poems, stories, art emerges. People come to realizations and reflections they might not have reached on their own. We hit a reset button. Actions get taken that help us get to next steps and new stories.

Curious? As in the old tales, passers by and newcomers are always welcome. What might you bring? What is your treasure and gift this week? Maybe…

• a story from the week

• a quote you keep close by

• an idea you’re wrestling with

• a question that you’ve been pondering

• a challenge you need help with

• a piece of art you love

• an object that has special meaning

• an experience you want to share

The list is endless.

We gather at The Well for all kinds of reasons - to find refreshment, to rest, to seek our reflection, to listen for echoes, to meet up with each other. And I can’t make it happen without you. Wisdom, and all kinds of good things, can only come through the collective.
