the fall theme: sacred place — sanctuary for your creative spirit

This season we focus on the importance of spending time alone in places that bring us closer to our creative spirit. We will explore our creative environments, take creative inventory while reminiscing creative places of our past, discuss places of inspiration and engage in activities and projects that will give our sacred place creative inspiration!

Your jewel boxes™:

opening fall — get ready
workshop — inspiration lanterns

creative inventory — comfort zones
revisiting exercise — sharing our creativity
reflective conversation — interiors
closing season — sanctuary: a visit



start a sister i or mother i circle in your community:

circle format — each meeting looks like this:

1. Gather like-minded women. (Use the circle search to help you connect with other women in your community.)

2. Find places and times to meet. Designate lead sisters/moms for season.

3. Meet — use the sister i format and seasons guide to guide your meeting.
1. opening: read mission statement

2. silent time word: use word provided to help center quietly

3. intro sentence: take turns finishing the sentence exercise

4. stepping stones/synchronicities: share creative journeys and guiding influences

5. business: schedules, materials and matters to be discussed

6. jewel box: the project, activity or discussion for the meeting!

7. closing: state goals until next meeting — end with brief silent time

(Refer to the circle elements and starter guides for further information on facilitating a sister i/mother i circle in your community — freely available here at www.sisteri.com)
