Connecting from the Heart
We have a Matrix Circle once each month at Full Bloom and we’re excited to share them with our broader community! In each circle, the facilitator brings a question to the group that inspires thoughtful reflection. Recent topics have included, How did conflict show up in your family of origin? What is a personal story you are currently trying to let go of or revise? Tell us about a time that your plans took an unexpected turn. What role has music played in your life?
Taking turns, each participant picks one person to share with for a set amount of time (usually about four minutes) while the entire group bears witness. The listener then responds with a statement about how the speaker impacted them. Sometimes we create space for folks to ask follow-up questions of the speaker, but we agree not to give advice or parrot back what we heard. And then the listener becomes the one who shares until the circle is complete.
In our onland community, these circles were designed to help us get to know one another better, connect deeply with members we may otherwise spend little time with, create space for personal reflection, and to practice vulnerability. We believe that these circles can help create a strong foundation for communities of all kinds, and we are excited to create a welcoming space for you to connect genuinely with others.
