Warmth and Wisdom Circle
Life is about connection, growth, and support.
Join us at Yoga Shala
What is a Warmth and Wisdom Circle?
A Warmth and Wisdom circle is a safe place, a sanctuary for love, support, and ongoing growth for the challenges that life throws our way. We are hoping to create a support group that will lift and inspire others.
How Will It Work?
In each session, we will highlight a topic. In the end, we are hoping for people to join for their own needs or to provide wisdom to others who may need to hear their words. As a facilitator, I won’t be at the front of your room, but I’ll be with you in an informal circle.
Facilitator: Lorraine Lundqvist
I’m a woman, a parent, a wife, and a friend. I write about my vulnerabilities and life experiences. My heart has been broken numerous times. I’ve been decimated by divorce, have struggled as a single mother, and am now remarried. Addiction, has touched my life and those I’ve loved. My age puts me firmly in midlife, and I also write about the emotional and physical challenges. I’m constantly looking to heal and be there for others. Sometimes it feels like I’ve lived a thousand lifetimes. That’s because life is about becoming different people in different phases of your life. I love fiercely and am a self-proclaimed introvert.
Why Am I Doing This?
This connects back to my original intention when I started writing. In my forties, I decided that if I could use words to lift even one person up, then the effort would be worth it. Now, I have an opportunity to do the same but in person. Blogging Midlife has been around for over ten years and I’ve placed my heart on those pages. I hope you’ll visit and if a post touches your heart, please let me know.
Safe Space
We will start this warmth and wisdom circle with only members of Yoga Shala. If participants want to bring others, we will decide that together. Our key goal is to create a private sanctuary full of love and respect. Sometimes we will laugh, maybe we will cry and other times we will be more silent and I’ll have to fill in the space with a story. We will just see how it goes!
Topics
Feel free to send me topics. Our first session will be about connection. It takes a village, we’ve all heard that saying before, but do you have the right one?
Register
Registration can be found on Yoga Shala’s site. We are starting with small groups and if you cannot get a spot, we will do another one within that weekend or week. The cost is free and here’s why: we want to create a stronger community and provide a caring and loving environment both in our practice and with each other. I ask for one thing only, take a visit to my blog site once and a while and share with others so that we can widen the support I try to provide with my words.
First Meeting
We had the first meeting on Friday, April 26th. If you attended, thank you so very much!
