Other aspects that you will find in our circles are:
ART Installation:
We make prayer flags at almost all events. These are artistic expressions of the prayers are to represent our intentions, reflect our prayers for self, community, and or the world. Magic markers and fabric will be provided. Sometimes we will have other art projects to do and welcome your suggestions on what we can create together.
DIVINATION Installation:
We have provided some tarot cards and other divination items. Please feel free to use them, or bring your own to share if you would like.

Finger food snacks help us to sustain the energy as the night progresses. We welcome contributions of fruit, nuts, chocolate, and other finger foods.

A few pillows and blankets are provided. This is a great place to meditate, rest and heal. Feel free to bring more fun fluffy stuff.
Please keep any conversations to what is relevant within sacred space, and be mindful of others that may be meditating and or giving massages or other forms of healing. Also note that sound travels into the circle as well.
