A space in which we gather from just about anywhere in the world

- to be in silence together, drink soup, hear one another

and most profoundly - hear ourselves

Over 6 years you may have joined us in our face to face gatherings. Finally, we are offering an online version to include so many who are in various stages of pandemic immersion; isolation, fear and/ or lockdown. The beautiful advantage of this is that all of you who have attended gatherings in Sydney, Mullum, Clunes or at assorted festivals and conferences, many of you from distant lands, can now join us!

What will you be joining?

Firstly, we sit together in communal silence. People are invited to do whatever they choose as long as it is in silence. There is no right or wrong in silence; some draw, others write or read, yet others sleep and of course many meditate. Some folks bring a candle.

Secondly, we share a cup of chai, soup or whatever takes our fancy. We chat about our days and come to know each other. Laughter, a touch of playfulness and movement ( yes movement - online) may accompany.

Lastly, we sit in circle. People are invited to share whatever they choose, uninterrupted. The rest of us are the listening container for the person who shares. This is an age-old practice from countless cultures around the world. Simple and profound. We allow people to hear the voice they most need to hear- their own!

As regards contribution, we ask that you consider your position in the moneyed economy. There are many right now who do not have funds and we hope to be able to include everyone. So if you are one who is or was ( now retired and comfortable) in the moneyed world, kindly make a financial contribution so that collectively, we can ensure that all are always able to CHOOSE to sit in a communal share space.
