When several folks emailed me to say they really wanted to come to our annual Circular Time reflections but they couldn't make our last ones, I smiled. Yeah, these are really good. So we are opening up a new/final sharing option!

NEW DATE: This Thursday, February 8, 6 pm EST, 3 pm PST.

And if that date still doesn't work for you - you can always let me know and I can arrange a separate time for you and/or your team.

This new date happens to be the eve before the Lunar New Year! So, it is a perfect time to reflect on what the Chinese zodiac refers to as the Year of the Rabbit as we enter the Year of the Dragon. Myself, I was born in the Year of the Rooster... and we Roosters like Dragons. :-)

A few reminders about what circular time technology offers:

• disentangling from the abstract and colonial linear time frame

• re-connect with your local ecology

• reflection that can lead to meaningful discernment and strategy

• a tool you can use for years to come, not just this simple session

• a mind-bending and expanding engagement

• an activity that leans towards engaging the non-linear, aka artistic, mind

• a pattern-interrupter that helps you create new, and hopefully more empowering, stories for yourself

And our sharing sessions are just that: you come and share wherever you are in your reflection process with people who are probably strangers. The circle is strong, You might never talk to them again. And that is part of the power of this sharing space!

Here's one recent testimonial:

"The profundity of the Circular Calendar teachings that Sara Jolena brings to the world can not be overstated. During our sessions together, Sara masterfully crafted a container that brought our team into a place of deep reflection, giving shape and clarity to a year of many shifts and changes. We gained insight on how the cadence of our work fit naturally into the cycle of the year's rhythm and where we may better align ourselves with that rhythm to ride the tide of the seasons with deeper respect for grace of time's cycle. The connection I feel to my team and our efforts is inexorably strengthened through our connection to this work. It is a teaching that our team will continue to return to as a core tool of reflection and projection as we create from a place integrated with Nature. Thank you Sara and team for championing this teaching and for bringing it to our awareness."

I write this from New Mexico, where I've been listening to local friends and colleagues talk about what they sense is emerging in the zeitgeist right now, preparing for this weekend's in person  Lunar New Year retreat at the beautiful Norbertine Abbey. We still have some space: come if you feel so called! This is promising to be a very sweet space to be held by this sacred land, community, circular time,, and, of course, yours truly. My dear friend Hayley Hathaway will be eldering for me, Quaker style.

Perhaps I will see you online on Thursday!

Or in New Mexico!
