the 2004 fall theme:
mindful living — self discovery on the creative journey

This season we focus on the "here and now" and connecting to the natural cycle of life. As well as our "get ready" goal setting plan for the season we'll explore creative cycles, create frames into altar pieces and discuss female mentors on mindfulness. And as with every season we will share one member's creative pursuit and close the season with a girl's night out (or in!) celebration. Enjoy!

Your fall jewel boxes™:

opening fall — get ready
creative inventory — creative cycles
workshop — altar frames
revisiting exercise — sharing creative pursuits
reflective conversation — mindful mentors
closing fall
— celebrate!



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)
