This Listening  Circle will open with a  poem and reading offering to honor those killed on October 7th. The majority of our time together will be an opportunity, though, to simply be  present to one another to listen to what is on each others hearts and minds as we honor the lives lost and the impact of the year gone by.  We create a safe space through our intention to hold one another with respect and caring. Everyone will have a chance to speak and be heard, or participants can just choose to be present. This is not a time to be right or wrong,  to share news and opinions - but rather a time to bring our hearts to one another and be met with compassion.
