Portland Center for Spiritual Living expands its circle of love and connection beyond the Sunday experience by offering Connection Circles to its members. The circles are safe places for discussion, group spiritual practice, prayer requests and sharing. Members open their homes for Connection Circles at various times and locations throughout the greater Portland and Vancouver metropolitan areas as well as online circles for our remote audience.
Sign up at the Center or online (below) and deepen your connection to Spirit! The circles are free and open to everyone.
We often offer workshops to go with our Connection Circles. They are an optional part of the program.
Connection Circles and CC Workshops
The Fall, 2019 Online Connection Circle is a FREE 7-week series starting October 6th on Wednesdays at 3:30 PM Pacific Daylight time. We will feature two requested topics to be covered in the Sunday podcast. We’ll meet to connect with each other and the material.
If this time or day doesn’t work for you, contact our Connection Circle Coordinator for more options.
In October our focus is Prosperity and we’ll use Marc Allen’s The Greatest Secret of All. We’ll discuss the spiritual nature of money, learn about the Law of Attraction and discover a variety of ways to increase and enjoy the abundance around us. You’ll never look at money (or abundance) the same way again.
In November our focus will be understanding and using our Authentic Power. We’ll use Brené Brown’s Braving the Wilderness for inspiration. Find out what true power is all about and how we can leverage vulnerability into one of our greatest strengths.
Participation is easy: Just register for the Connection Circle! You’ll be emailed connection instructions and information prior to the first date. Purchasing the books is optional, you can simply listen to the prior Sunday’s podcast and you’ll be ready. You can also follow along in the book for a deeper understanding.
