the 2002 summer theme:
your creative journey — a summer joy ride!

The sister i summer seasons guide™ explores the creative rewards and joys of being spontaneous and carefree. In addition to the goal setting and sharing creative pursuits of sister i, this season's meetings include collaborating on vision quest books, discussing adventures that have inspired our creative spirits, observing offbeat artistic expressions and taking a circle road trip! Enjoy!

start a sister i or mother i circle in your community:

circle format — each meeting looks like this:

1. Gather like-minded women. (Use the circle search to help you connect with other women in your community.)

2. Find places and times to meet. Designate lead sisters/moms for season.

3. Meet — use the sister i format and seasons guide to guide your meeting.

1. opening: read mission statement

2. silent time word: use word provided to help center quietly

3. intro sentence: take turns finishing the sentence exercise

4. stepping stones/synchronicities: share creative journeys and guiding influences

5. business: schedules, materials and matters to be discussed

6. jewel box: the project, activity or discussion for the meeting!

7. closing: state goals until next meeting — end with brief silent time

(Refer to the circle elements and starter guides for further information on facilitating a sister i/mother i circle in your community — freely available here at www.sisteri.com)
