The 2002 fall theme:
reflect, replenish and rejuvenate

The sister i fall seasons guide starts by setting our goals for the season. Following the theme of the season, we will concoct a wellness potion during our workshop to rejuvenate our creative spirits! We will engage in a thoughtful discussion about our lives and acknowledge the people who have influenced us along the way. We will support and encourage one another as we share our creative pursuits and discuss rituals and ceremonies of other cultures. Finally, we will end the season with a self-indulgent visit to a local spa!

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)
