Widening Circles Resources—The 2025 Great Rhythm Revival
Our very foundation of what we understand as ‘reality’ is being tested, prodded, and challenged. Now more than ever, it is imperative for each of us to build a life on solid ground and to live optimally in our Truth. What does it mean for you to find ease and joy and flow within yourself, within relationships, and within community?
Energy and conscious connection is the most organic, inherent, and natural form of healing we have today. Profound gateways into understanding are opened once we recognize and learn how to work with our most subtle aspects. Over the course of the three workshops through the weekend, we will gently peer into this paradigm and invite openness for healing, connection, and recognition of our truest sense of self.
We build upon the idea of “Widening Circles” inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke. Each workshop is nested within each other, with the center circle being dedicated to The Energy of the Individual. Taking care of the Self is absolutely imperative for living a life of vitality and joy, so we begin with exercises and techniques based on supporting an individual’s energetic and physical systems.
We then step into the next circle — The Energy of Relationship. Here we focus on how to retain our authenticity while residing within the space of another individual, and how we can improve the interaction in the space between.
The next level we address is dedicated to The Energy of Community by celebrating our Elemental Rhythms! Time to share experiential exercises and open discussion around how we move into community, and how community moves through us from the deeply energetic to the very practical, everyday perspective.
Come as you are. ALL are welcome, and each workshop stands independent of one another. We recommend bring writing materials to take notes.

The Energy of The Individual
We enter gently into the energy paradigm by opening the energetic system with introductory practices. This workshop will be ideal for those who are joining us for the first time, as we’ll move through foundational sequences to center and ground ourselves. We will also bring practices in dedicated to managing stress and finding quiet, gentle balance.
The Energy of Relationship
Creating lasting and meaningful connection with another being is one of the most sacred and profound acts. This can span between the cashier at the grocery store, neighbors, friends, a partner, children, extended family members, colleagues, and even those in our community with whom we find challenge. All sentient beings! How wonderful it is to experience another’s energy in a safe environment where each of you can remain centered in your sovereignty. This special time will be dedicated to sharing energy and consciousness practices between two people. The techniques presented will be appropriate for all relationships—family, friends, and new acquaintances. We will partner up to practice most of these, so please bring a friend or loved one—or you can partner up with someone new! Share wonderful resources together during this time as we will take these in slowly and with great reverence.
The Energy of Community
Across our lifetime, we will reside within and be a part of many circles of community. How do we feel at home in our Self and interact within these communities? How do these communities influence us? How do we influence them? This workshop focuses on the bigger picture with how our individual Elemental Rhythms invite us to connect with others. Discussion and experiential exercises will be offered to help enliven the rhythms and dynamics within our larger circles of community.
