the 2002 winter theme: The healing power of creativity

This winter's sister i seasons guide takes you on a journey of self-expressive healing. We'll make guardian pendants, share stories of challenges and triumphs, pay tribute to monuments around the world and celebrate the positive, healing energy shared by the sister i circle.

Your jewel boxes™:

opening — get ready
workshop — guardian i pendants

creative inventory — exploring our brave hearts
revisiting exercise — sharing creative pursuits
reflective conversation —memorials
closing season — the feast



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)
