Religious rituals have occurred, in virtually every human culture, with an almost infinite variety of form. But in every known case, a singular principle holds true: When religious ritual is effective, it inclines the brain to adjust its cognitive and emotional perceptions of the self in a way that religiously-minded persons interpret as
a closing of the distance
between the self and God.

THE LISTENING CIRCLE
An Examen

beautiful one, we gather

1st and 3rd Fridays of the Month (beginning July 17th)
7:00–8:30 PM
Maxwell, Texas
Free Community Gathering
 

There is something healing about being able to pause, take a breath, and reflect on your life in the company of kind women.

Twice each month, we gather for a gentle practice known as the Examen—a simple way of looking back over the week we have lived and looking ahead to the week that is coming.

Together, we will take time to notice:

  • Where we experienced joy, beauty, gratitude, or unexpected gifts

  • The challenges, disappointments, or struggles we encountered

  • What may be asking for our attention, care, or compassion

  • The invitations that seem to be emerging for the week ahead

There is no pressure to share. You are always welcome to participate at the level

that feels comfortable to you.

After our reflection, those who wish may share a portion of their experience with the group. We will hold space for one another with compassion, encouragement, affirmation, and blessing.

My hope is that this circle becomes a place where women can rest from the demands of daily life, reconnect with themselves, and remember that they do not have to walk alone.

Whether you are feeling weary, lonely, overwhelmed, hopeful, curious, or simply longing for meaningful connection, you are welcome here.
 

Come as you are.

There is nothing to prove.
Nothing to perform.
Nothing to fix.
 

Just a circle of women gathering to listen deeply, encourage one another, and pay attention to the sacred invitations unfolding within our lives. We would love to have you join us.
