Reflection Circles are a safe space for connecting with yourself and others in an atmosphere of respect and awakening to your authentic life through exploring mindfulness practice, creative expression, and discussion.

What can I expect at a Reflection Circle?

  • Opening quotation to set the tone for the activity and reflection
  • Introductions and brief, no-pressure icebreaker activity
  • Check in about how your week has been so far
  • A judgment-free space where everyone is welcome to share or pass
  • 15-20-minute practice that relates to a different theme each week
  • Time for reflection and discussion
  • Drop in with no commitment required
  • You do not need to sign up or be part of Open Circle to attend a Reflection Circle
