2007

Becoming’s monthly Circle of Connection is our core tradition. It is here that we come together to build and strengthen our connections with the world around us, each other, and the Divine. The road to membership in Becoming begins and ends with the monthly Circle of Connection.

The circle provides a safe space to temporarily step outside of the hectic pace of our daily lives to re-affirm our relationships with the divine that infuses everything that is. It is a time of thanksgiving and healing with caring and fun people.

The monthly Circle is held on the second Sunday of the month from 12:15pm to 1:15pm, with lunch following. We sometimes hold a classes or discussion on a variety of topics afterward from 1:45pm to 2:45pm.
