An Idea to Treat Modern Life
For centuries, people gathered in circles.
Around fires, in homes, temples, forests, and village gathering places, people came together.
They gathered to share stories, mark rites of passage, celebrate, grieve, pray, listen, teach, and exchange ideas.
In these spaces, no one was rushed. They were witnessed. They spoke candidly. They left feeling part of something larger than themselves.
While you can still find traces of this tradition in cultures that naturally make more room for lingering conversations, we here in the NYC-Metropolitan Area have very much lost this ancient way of gathering.
Perhaps that's why so many people I speak with are longing for deeper connection, meaningful conversation, and places where they can both listen and be heard without judgment. We seem to have forgotten how to gather.
Perhaps what we're longing for isn't something new at all. Perhaps it's something we've forgotten.
I have an idea for us.
Stay tuned...
