CIRCLES Note From Hua
This quote from the article "A Circle of Gifts" by Charles Eisenstein from the November 2010 issue
of Hope Dance really speaks to filling our lives with each other. Remember that you are the
gift. The most priceless gift one can give is time. Time for others as well as time to yourself.
In these days we must reinforce our connection to spirit and grow our community stronger for
the times coming up. I invite you to re-dream your life and open to the possibility of a more
active connectedness with your circles. Ceremonial circles, gardening circles, drum circles,
etc. Actively cultivating and weaving ourselves into a force that can heal and uplift each other
is a new paradigm of plenty for all.
“Community is woven from gifts. Unlike today's market system, whose built-in scarcity compels
competition in which more for me is less for you, in a gift economy the opposite holds.
Because people in gift culture pass on their surplus rather than accumulating it, your good
fortune is my good fortune: more for you is more for me. Wealth circulates, gravitating toward
the greatest need. In a gift community, people know that their gifts will eventually come back to
them, albeit often in a new form. Such a community might be called a circle of the gift."
With the deepest of gratitude I give Thanks to all that participated in the offerings we have put
out there this year. I look forward to next year’s offerings of Full Moon Ceremony, Sweatlodge,
Drum Circle, Vision Quest, Spirit Dance, Long Dance and all the class offerings and more !!
We’ll be sure to let you know what’s coming up.
Blessings to ALL MY RELATIONS…..
