sister i season's introduction

The 2003 summer theme:
joy & laughter — playing in the creative gardens

The circle gathers this season to celebrate the essence of joy and laughter in our creative lives. We will begin by stating our stepping stones and creative goals, then we'll engage in activities and discussions that explore the different ways we let go and enjoy the creative journey . The closing meeting celebrates our creative journeys into our pleasure gardens with some adventurous fun. Sky diving anyone?!
