Circle of Letting Go
Paper, pens, a bowl of water and candles.
We begin by settling, and with one prompt: what would you like to put down for a while? You write for yourself, on paper nobody else reads — a sentence, a list, a letter you are not going to send. There is time afterwards to say as much or as little as you want to the circle. Most people say one line. Some say nothing, and that is a complete answer. We close with a small ritual of letting go: the paper is folded, and you choose what happens to it. Some people keep theirs. That is allowed, and it is not a failure.
Settling in
We start slowly, with tea and a few minutes of quiet. Nothing is asked of you yet.
One question
What would you like to put down for a while? It is read out once, and then there is silence.
Writing, for yourself
A sentence, a list, a letter you are not going to send. The paper is yours and nobody else reads it.
Saying as much or as little as you want to
There is time to say a line to the circle. Most people say one. Some say nothing, and that is a complete answer.
Folding it, and choosing
The paper is folded, and you decide what happens to it. Some people keep theirs. That is allowed, and it is not a failure.
Paper nobody else reads
Tea, and a while to arrive before anything is asked
A bowl of water, and a choice about what you wrote
Paper, pens, a bowl of water and candles. Tea.
Step-free, with an accessible toilet. Chairs and floor cushions both work. There is a quiet space you can use at any point, and you can pass at every stage.
