Shared agreements are vital for deepening in together…
Thank you for reading these agreements
& Holding them as Sacred
Circle Agreements
This is a space of Sisterhood, not competition or hierarchy. No one is more or less than another. If judgement arises in you, bring yourself back to heart.
Every share will be held as Sacred (confidential). We agree to not share about another sister's shares or experience at any point in any way.
We agree to not to ask our sister to re-share or dive back in to her experience. If she wants to share it again, she can bring it up.
We agree to not bring another sister's name or share in to our sharing. We pull our sister out of her experience when we invoke her into ours. Even if we are going through something similar, or resonate with her {which of course we may, that is the nature of group Alchemy}, our experience will be felt and translated through our own unique lens. We are invited to hold true to our own share and speak from our own heart in "I" statements.
We agree that the Divine Feminine speaks in circles & listens in circles. There is no need for us to feel as though we have to craft our share to make sense to others. Sometimes we may feel as though we are *off track* {there is no track in circle}, or we may not know what we are going to say until we begin speaking it {perfect}. We let our shares arise from the heart.
We agree to take care of our needs. If we need to get up from our seat in circle, we do it one at a time to hold the potency of circle for our sisters.
Our tears are Sacred, our anger is Sacred, our Truth is Sacred. There is no need to hold back, apologize, or make our emotions small to please anyone.
Our Radiance is Sacred, our Brilliance is Sacred, our Beauty is Sacred. There is no need to hold back, apologize, or make ourselves small for anyone.
We are here to hold Sovereignty,
not sympathy
We honor our sister as the Queen, Medicine Woman, Priestess, Healer, and Wisdom Keeper of her own life. This means that we listen from the ears of our sister BEing in Divine Perfection as she moves through her challenges, brilliance, & shares.
We agree to Witness, not to attempt to fix or see her as needing fixing. We agree to not offer input or advice {unless she asks}. If we catch ourselves trying to 'fix' our sister ~ it is an opportunity to look within to see why we feel uncomfortable or notice what it is bringing up within us.
In holding Sovereignty over sympathy, We agree to not *console*, or say 'it's okay' {we know it is okay}, & we will not offer a tissue {because this is assuming her needs, stifling her flow, & subtly asking her to clean up her 'mess'}. If you want a tissue, ask for it sister ~ we will be happy to support.
We agree to Honor everyone's space to speak ~ uninterrupted, without cross-talk, reflections, or any input at all. Again, we are here to witness & hold space. The intention of circle is to simply BE together & be in it together.
We agree to be self-responsible in our sharing, processing, and integration. We speak to our own shift & speak from "I" statements ~ not speaking 'to others', generalizing, or assuming {"when you feel", "when you experience"}.
