Welcome to the Circle
Welcome to the first week of the Gold Mining Circle. This week is about preparation — preparing yourself, your space, and your mind for the deep work ahead.
The Gold Mining Circle has a different focus from many I-Groups. It has specific processes included and excluded intentionally. Even if you have attended other MKP Circles, please review the logistics and agreements carefully.
Before the Meeting
Please read through the logistics and agreements, as well as the meeting format, and be prepared to discuss and give feedback. We will be discussing the agreements in the first session.
Creating a Safe Space
Take a moment and center yourself. We will do this in each Gold Mining Circle, but take a few moments now to breathe and get present. See if you can slow down your mind and body wherever you are at to absorb the spirit of the material being offered.
Please be sure to work in a space that is private and distraction free so you can focus. This creates the safe space all our work will occur in. Make sure others can't hear the conversations going on in Circle.
The Echo Process
The Echo Process addresses "voices in your head" in a loving and respectful way. It is extremely effective at relieving oneself from negativity, while also bringing about a more peaceful state of being. This is a foundational process that supports processes we will focus on in coming weeks.
If you would like to get a head start, feel free to view some of the Gold Mining Circle videos. They cover background info and basic skills needed to work on Mission and Purpose in a Circle setting.
