All are welcome and donations are appreciated but not required. Below is an overview of what to expect from this space and our reasons for creating it. 

Our Reason

We wanted to create this space so we can all learn to drop into vulnerability and be communally held. In the chaos of this year, we are seeing how deeply we need to be witnessed and cared for by those around us. This isn’t a new practice. But over time, rugged individualism has encouraged us to feel alone in our experiences. We learn that we can’t ask for help or that others will not understand us or have the capacity to hold us in our grief or rage or frustration. We’re taught that we have to go to a professional in a closed off one-on-one space to work on ourselves. And while this can be helpful, we also need to incorporate the missing piece of co-regulation with other people. We need to remember what it is to create community that is generative, safe, and supportive.

We wanted to create this space to combat the gatekeeping and gurufication that’s so present in the health and wellness fields. And we want to use this space as an opportunity where we can all learn how to ask for help and allow other people to care for us. Our individual experiences are unique yes, but there is a network of connectivity we can all connect to through and with each other. 

What to Expect

The first speaker will share what they are experiencing from the heart. They’ll give us an outline of where they’ve been, where they are now, and what they are hoping for around their topic. Ideally there is a thread or theme that we can all relate to and use as a jumping off point for the rest of the group to share.

You will never be called on directly and you don’t need to share if you’re not moved to. Presence is also healing.

We will stay together for about 2 hours and at the end we will stay on the call for about ten minutes so you can connect in the chat box with anyone whose story moved you or anyone you feel you want to establish more of a relationship with.

We would like to see this group alternate roles- we'd love to see different people open up and close the space each month and see different people choose to be the first speaker. Amy and I are happy to be in these roles, but part of what we are creating here is a space where everyone has an opportunity to be seen and heard.

We will be doing this every month- please invite anyone you feel might want a space like this in their life.

Community Agreements

Our Goal

We wanted to create this space so we can drop into vulnerability and be communally held. In the chaos of this year, we are seeing how deeply we need to be witnessed and cared for by those around us. This isn’t a new practice, it’s very old. But over time, rugged individualism has encouraged us to feel alone in our experiences. We learn that we can’t ask for help or that others will not understand us or have the capacity to hold us in our grief or rage or frustration. We’re taught that we have to go to a professional in a closed off one-on-one space to work on ourselves. And while this can be helpful, we also need to incorporate the missing piece of REGULATING with other people. 

We wanted to create this space to COMBAT the gatekeeping and gurufication that’s so present in the health and wellness fields. And we want to use this space as an opportunity where we can all learn how to ask for help and allow other people to care for us. Our individual experiences are unique yes, but there is a network of connectivity we can all connect to through and with each other. 

Process

The first speaker will share what they are experiencing from the heart. They’ll give us an outline of where they’ve been, where they are now, and what they are hoping for around their topic. Ideally there is a thread or theme that we can all relate to and use as a jumping off point for the rest of the group to share.

You will never be called on directly and you don’t need to share if you’re not moved to. Presence is also healing.

At the end we will stay on the call for about ten minutes so you can connect in the chat with anyone whose story moved you or anyone you feel you want to establish more of a relationship with.

The Golden Circle 

Join us in envisioning and offering up Spirited solutions to Global Issues

with Amy Goldenberg + Aislinn Kerchaert 

Saturday, June 20th 5pm PST - 8pm PST Your time and date in the world here- Exchange: $44 There are 13 Spaces * a portion of proceeds will go to sponsoring Lakota Language students in Standing Rock 

We are undergoing a beautiful transition, one in which we are structurally uncoupling from the old, out-dated systems of the falling paradigm- and entering into a phase of tending to the future generations. 

Systems and technologies we have been working with are no longer serving us, and we are being confronted by experiences we have not had to navigate in recent generations. The idea for “The Golden Circle” came when Amy began asking the following questions: 

What can we do to bring about change in a healing and positive way? 

What technologies can we draw upon now, to tend to the future generations? 

She then received a clear download from our ancient relatives, The Atlanteans, who came forward with an offering of information, purposeful technologies, and a suggestion to put them to use. 

This was their message: 

"A long time ago, during our time of existence on Earth --similarly to how humans exist on earth now-- when a time of change arose and we needed to make shifts in our culture and the way our society functioned to create sustainability, we would gather in small groups and together we would imagine into creation a new way of living. Without making plans or figuring out logistics, we would share our ideal vision of what could become of the future. Each individual, of equal importance, speaking out loud their imagination of the future, speaking a new way into creation." 

They show us that deep healing happens when we can verbally articulate our dreams and our imaginings in a group space. The type of healing that repairs the Solar Plexus,the seat of courage, and that heals the Throat chakra, giving us courage to voice our truth, and articulate our journey into the unknown with grace. 

We will gather as a small circle to name our dreams for the future. To envision solutions to global issues- without having to figure out the practical “why” of it. That part, we offer up to Spirit. That part becomes a part of the dance of unfoldment, where we allow Spirit to make it clear to us what action is required and when. There is a degree of selflessness that is asked of us when we gather in this way. Each meeting will have a different topic for us to dream and muse on, to offer up solutions to the future, and plant the seeds of possibilities. There is nothing too crazy for this circle! 

This Gathering’s Topic will be- 

Water Sovereignty: Envisioning a Water & Waste Conscious Future 

When I, Amy, think of water my first thought is that — the human body cannot survive without water for more than a few days. Water is vital, water is essential. Without water we cannot survive. Our beings are deeply affected by water, we are made of mostly, water.  As well, the plants and animals which nourish us cannot survive without water… This train of thought leads me to a series of questions: Where does the water in my home come from? Where does any of my local water come from? What is in the water I drink? How does the waste I create affect the water which nourishes my community? Why does access to clean running water cost money for humans? 

When I ask myself these questions I realize there is a lot about the water, which keeps me alive, that I don’t know. I have become disconnected to this vital source of life. I am also disconnected from the understanding of the impact which the waste I create has on this vital life source WATER. This is a place where sacred dreaming and imagining is being called to. I dream of connection and understanding with the sacred waters. As well,  Aislinn and I dream of Water Sovereignty and consciousness around waste, which is why we have decided to hold the second Golden Circle gathering focusing on dreaming up solutions to the problems we have with water, the disconnection we, as a community, have from this sacred and essential life force. Would you not honor something which you truly cannot live without? So please, if you are called, join us in weaving a prayer for the collective on the subject of Water Sovereignty and Waste Consciousness. 

The Golden Circle

Join us in envisioning and offering up Spirited solutions to Global Issues & receive a special Inner Child Chakra Activation with the Dolphins

hosted by Amy Goldenberg + Aislinn Kerchaert 

Saturday, May 23rd 5pm PST - 8pm PST Your time and date in the world here-

Exchange: $44 There are 13 Spaces

* a portion of all proceeds will go to support the Diné tribe during this time of unforeseen challenges.

Imagine you are entering a tender garden, on a celestial plane. A plane that is so very much of this earth, it is even more earthly, earthen, and rich with the magnetic vibrations of love, seeded from the stars, than you could know. Your bones remember this place. Heaven, on earth. Heaven- IN Earth!!!! Earth, exalted, earth- reunited- fully, with the vision her children first seeded. 

This is the garden of the imagination, where the child inside comes to play. Where Spirit meets our Hearts, where our Hearts dream life into being, making our lives a work of living art. Now is the time to celebrate, our ancient relatives show. For the garden is re-emerging. It has always been there, in a deep slumber within our bones. We are being called on now to tend to it. To the visions of the future- to our creativity, the arts, the growth of delicious, rich, and healthy foods. To place into fertile, full soil, the seeds of our future. What is it we hope to sustain and grow, for the future generations? What is it, we have been handed from Spirit, which aches and yearns to be passed down? 

We are undergoing a beautiful transition, one in which we are structurally uncoupling from the old, out-dated systems of the falling paradigm- and entering into a phase of tending to the future generations. 

Systems and technologies we have been working with are no longer serving us, and we are being confronted by experiences we have not had to navigate in recent generations. The idea for “The Golden Circle” came when Amy began asking the following questions:

Our first Meeting Topic will be: Food Sovereignty 

It has been brought to our attention that many of us do not currently have sovereignty in that area. What new ways can we imagine together so that we may all be fed abundantly? How can we have a healthy relationship with feeding, with or without the involvement of political systems? This is what we bring to the circle for us to consider, to imagine, to shift, and to heal.
