The Community
Preparation and integration are not solo work. They were never meant to be.
The hardest part of this path is not the ceremony. It is the weeks before and the months after — the ordinary days when the work has to be carried back into an ordinary life, often alongside people who do not know what you are doing or why. A community of others walking the same path changes what is possible in those weeks and months.
Weekly online circles.
We gather online each week — separate circles for those in preparation and those in integration. The format is consistent: a brief opening, time for each person to share where they are, a teaching or practice held by a facilitator, and a closing. Circles are small enough that everyone is seen. They are held by practitioners trained in the methodology this site teaches.
For people in preparation, the circles run alongside the four-week arc. You arrive at your ceremony having already practiced the work in community.
For people in integration, the circles run for as long as you need them. Most participants stay through the formal four-week integration arc; many continue for months afterward.
What gathers around the circles.
Between circles, members have a private space to ask questions, share what is surfacing, and offer presence to others in the work. It is not another social platform. It is a small, considered space for people who are taking this seriously.
Two principles that govern this space.
The invitation is earned, not pushed.
We do not market this community. It exists for people who have found their way to the work and want others to walk with.
It enriches, but it does not gatekeep.
The book stands alone. The workbook stands alone. The community is for those who want company on the path — not a requirement for doing the work well.
