Week One
Preparation for sitting in circle
BEFORE MEETING:
LOGISTICS AND AGREEMENTS | MEETING FORMAT
Please read through the logistics and agreements (link below), as well as the meeting format, and be prepared to discuss and give feedback. It is important to review the agreements and format even if you have attended other MKP Circles. Gold Mining has a different focus from many I-Groups with specific processes included and excluded intentionally. We will be discussing the agreements in the first session.

IN-GROUP FOCUS:
DROP IN | CREATING A SAFE SPACE
Take a moment and center yourself. We will do this in each Gold Mining Circle, but take a few moments now to breathe and get present. See if you can slow down your mind and body wherever you are at to absorb the spirit of the material being offered.
Please be sure to work in a space that is private and distraction free so you can focus. This creates the safe space all our work will occur in. Make sure others can’t hear the conversations going on in Circle.
ECHO PROCESS:
The Echo Process addresses 'voices in your head' in a loving and respectful way. It is extremely effective at relieving oneself from negativity, while also bringing about a more peaceful state of being. This is a foundational process that supports processes we will focus on in coming weeks. Please see the below document link.
