Make meaningful connections in Soul Matters Circles!
Are you looking for deeper connection with others, with yourself, and with your deepest values?
Soul Matters Circles are small, facilitated groups of 5-8 people that meet once a month from September through June using the monthly themes as springboards and lenses for reflection and sharing. They have fostered many treasured relationships as well as surprising personal insights.
Each month, participants receive a packet of resources that is carefully curated by the Soul Matters staff. The packets offer quotes, poems, suggested practices, questions to consider, books suggestion, music ideas, links to articles, videos and movies, and more. Each person chooses how deeply they will explore these resources as tools for reflection and conversation.
