Humanity Circle is a place to pursue individual spirituality, without dogma, guilt, or shame. While you're here, no one is going to instruct you on pursuit of religion, or who/what to believe in. There is no in-house guru, clergy, or singular spiritual teacher.Instead, seated as equals in a circle, an individual will bring a reading to share & offer how it is applicable to their present experience. We continue discourse on the spiritual topic, with optional sharing. Through personal stories, our humanity comes to the surface. In heart-centered fellowship the innate divinity within us all is revealed. It is an experience of sacred mirroring: seeing yourself in others and feeling the deep presence of others within you. You will leave feeling more connected, aware of the oneness that prevades us all.
Humanity Circle seeks to relieve the suffering inherent to the human condition. It is an inclusive community experience — all interfaith and secular folks are welcome. Everyone is free to use use whatever language they prefer- Goddess, God, Spirit, Source, etc.
Our circle also includes kirtan, which is a joyous vocal prayer as an offering to the Divine. We play improvisational harmonium, mridanga, and more. You may come just to receive although we encourage you to play and sing along. We have instruments to share: drums, rattles, shakers, chimes, ukulele, guitar, or bring your own!
After kirtan, we offer you prasad, which is a meal that has been offered to the Divine. Prasad means "grace" ...it is an offering or gift, and in this case, it is also community. Food is always vegetarian, and often vegan & gluten free. If you have food sensitives please let us know you are coming! If it brings you joy to serve others, we would gratefully welcome any vegetarian potluck dishes you’d like to bring.
The discussion circle lasts 60-90 mins, then we sing, and then we eat. Timing is designed loosely, with the gathering to end around noon but may go over slightly if the circle is larger. ( You are always welcome to take prasadam/food to go if that would best honor your time. )
This is a sliding scale donation-based offering or included with membership. Kirtan is led by Sam Spychalla & Taylor Roustio.
