When a circle wants to build a shared spiritual practice

To gather as a circle for shared practice is a beautiful thing, and I have known the power of hearts turned together toward the sacred. Shared practice sustains what solitary practice lets slip — a practice done alone is easy to let slip when motivation fades, but when you practice together the group holds each member to it and the gathering becomes an appointment that carries you through the times your solitary resolve would have failed, so value the circle for how it keeps your practice steady. Practicing together deepens the practice itself — there is a power in shared spiritual practice that solitary practice lacks, the collective attention and the energy of many hearts turned the same way amplifying each individual's practice beyond what they reach alone, so practice together not only to sustain but to deepen. And make room for different depths and ways within the circle — it holds beginners and the advanced, the drawn-to-silence and the drawn-to-words, so honor these differences rather than forcing everyone into one mold, keeping the circle wide enough to hold all its members. Sustain each other, deepen together, hold the differences. What practice do you want to build together?
