Soul Matters Sharing Circle
All are welcome and invited to join us for our Adult Faith Formation Small Group: Soul Matters Sharing Circle
Soul Matters differs from other small groups in that it is designed to help us experience our monthly spiritual themes, not just talk about them! Its structure also helps us avoid the safety of shallow analysis and instead invites us to courageously dive into the work of vulnerable, honest, and heart-centered sharing. Think of Soul Matters as an invitation to listen more deeply and intentionally in three distinct ways: We listen to each other, We listen to our lives, and We listen to our deepest selves.
Soul Matters’ distinguishing characteristic is a focus on deep listening. But the way Soul Matters goes about that is also unique. Here’s how: Soul Matters Invites us to listen to each other deeply and with discipline. Soul Matters invites group members to practice three distinct disciplines of deep listening during their meeting time using this three-part mantra:
• Hold still – the practice of offering an inviting presence.
• Hold at bay – the practice of offering safe space.
• Hold up and hold out – the practice of responding with gratitude and noting meaningful connections.
Childcare is available upon request. Please don’t hesitate to contact April Rosario, our Director of Lifespan Faith Formation, at april.rosario@walthamuu.org with any questions.
