The closing season meeting celebrates the creative journey of the circle by sharing creative accomplishments and bringing closure to the season. An outing is often suggested that follows the theme of the season. This is also the time to make arrangements for the next season.
We have focused this fall season on sacred places and their inspiring influence on the creative spirit. Let us close the fall season and celebrate our creative journeys by meeting in a place of sacred solitude. You may choose to socialize with a basket of your favorite food and drink, visit a sacred place and then take the meeting to a café or restaurant or savor the moment for peaceful meditation. Be sure to devote some of your time to reflection on the season in celebration of one another's creative journeys!

A river, lake or waterfall surrounded by solitude (where weather permits!).
A historical or natural monument or building.
