opening: mission statement silent time word: sisterhood intro sentence: I say good-bye to winter… stepping stones/synchronicities: review goals from first meeting business notes: discuss details for next season — see below jewel box: closing winter — exchanging tokens of peace closing: no goals for next meeting (a time to pause) — end with brief silent time 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 join one another and close the winter season with a feast that celebrates the power of relationships and honors the positive, healing energy shared by the sister i circle. The circle can choose to feast at either a restaurant or at someone's home. If you decide to gather at someone's home everyone will participate in hosting the occasion. This acknowledges the equal importance of each member of the circle and enriches the celebration. For example one person might be responsible for candles while another brings bread, another decorates the table, chooses the wine, grills the fish, bakes the pie, provides the music and the list goes on. All costs should be evenly divided, so remember your receipts. Before you begin eating share in a silent time and thank the creative spirit for being able to share with one another on this level — strengthening our nature to heal ourselves and our world. Close the meeting with everyone participating in clearing the table, washing the dishes and cleaning. closing season to do list: Discuss each member’s creative accomplishments (include everything from baking/cooking to starting a new business!). Write them in the circle journal. Choose the next season’s lead moms. Get a group photo. Make sure every member has written in the circle journal. Thank one another for the circle! Please write the sister i website and share your experience of being a member of a sister i/mother i circle! colleen@motheri.com Thank you! |
