Conversation Gatherings
Tuesdays 11 a.m. - 1 p.m.
February 18, April 22, June 3
These Gatherings at Full Circle offer those who come a safe place to express what is deepest in their hearts, minds and souls so that their burdens might lighten, and their joys be shared. Listening to oneself and others respectfully and with compassion is essential. May all leave in the radiance of increased light and greater peace.
Please read and reflect on the Conversation Starters below before coming. The gatherings will begin with a period of silence and then be opened to anyone who wishes to speak. At closing we will stand and hold hands in silence for a brief period of interior reflection and thanks. Facilitator, Veronica Blake
Conversation Starters:
When you listen…you allow that person to find something in your presence that frees expression.
Mohammed Hamid Mohammed, Senior Program Officer, Fetzer Institute
“Interview”, LCWR Occasional Papers, Summer 2024
When life is difficult, there is something about locating yourself where you are even if you don’t want to be there.
Pádraig Ó Tuama, Poet, Author, Unbound: 50 Poems to Open Your World
“Interview”, LCWR Occasional Papers 20204, Summer 2024
I go among the trees and sit still,
All my stirring becomes quiet…
Then what I am afraid of comes.
I live for a while in its sight.
What I fear in it leaves it,
And the fear of it leaves me.
It sings, and I hear its song…
Wendell Berry, This Day: Collected & New Sabbath Poems
The dark around us, come,
Let us meet here together,
Members of one another,
Here in our holy room.

- Help repair the damage humans have done to themselves, to other humans, to the Earth, and to relationship with God
- Work for reconciliation among humans
Live compassionately within an interdependent universe
