Namaste Bruce and everyone,

Here is a quote from the research of Michael Garofalo ( egreenway.com ) who has gathered a lot of information about Sacred Circles and Spheres. On his webpage, he has photographs of the sacred circle that he and his wife, Karen have been creating on their property in Red Bluff, CA near Mt. Shasta.

"A Sacred Circle is a group of people who sit in a circle, in the literal and relational sense, and honor the sacredness of their divine nature as individuals and as a group. Not only does each participant take guidance individually by listening to the “inner voice within”, but this guidance is offered to the center of the circle and comes back from it in an augmented resonant manner. Each guidance, each soul and life experience, when offered to the center, begins to resonate with one another and creates what we experience as a resonant field. The resonant field is the living whole that radiates back toward each of us. It operates as a source of light that illuminates our individual blind spots, makes us grow and find clarity. Then we are in the situation of being able to offer back more and more resonant experience to the Center, and so on. The resonant field works definitely like a complex dynamic system. It creates new layers of reality that transcend and include our individual reality. It offers us more freedom than ever, we are given the opportunity to perform our soul mission and honor the dharma." - The Transitioner: Sacred Circles
