Participation Guide

These circles are informed deeply by the practice of Continuum, in which sound, breath, movement, and creative imagery are engaged to awaken the biological intelligence of our bodies in connection with the ecosystems we inhabit.

In each Seeds of Change Circle we will follow this sequence of sounding, connecting, envisioning and reflecting.

THE SEQUENCE

HUM WITH OUR CENTERS OF GRAVITY

Locating our centers of gravity, we begin a low hum. Emphasis is on the “M” sound of the hum. We hum slowly with each exhalation until we are satisfied.

HUM WITH THE EARTH

Specifically connecting with images of tree roots and the mycelial networks that help distribute resources to those in need, we HUM with the Earth beneath us.

NOURISH THE HEART

When it feels right, we combine the “M” of the hum with the simple sound of “AH” to make the sound “MAH” and invite nourishment from the wise Earth to travel up into our heart spaces.

CIRCULATING NOURISHMENT

We offer the nourishment we receive from the Earth, through our hearts, to the others we gather with – human and more-than-human with the tubular sound of “OH”.  We allow the “OH” sound to travel from our hearts to others in a loop, returning to our hearts again.

CLOSING THE LOOP

We drop back into our centers of gravity and the Earth with the “HUM” once again.

OPEN ATTENTION

We notice what we sense now.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

What are you aware of now?

What seeds of change or glimpse of newness do you sense in this moment?
