About the Event
Join us for our next Leaders' Wisdom Circle for the TOLIS on Aug 6, 2023 from 9a-12p (PT), 10a-1p (MT), 11a-2p (CT), 12-3p (ET) for a short worship, a leadership training, open round for discussion and a final round in gratitude and future planning/visioning.
This is intentionally set up for naturecentric spiritual leaders and professionals to help us deepen our personal Work, as well as to connect, and network with others to establish a supportive community for leaders.
This time we will feature a Teaching from Sarah Heartsong, our Main Sanctuary Servant, "Creating Sanctuary Spaces in These Troubling Times":
There are many places that people can create sanctuary spaces. Here at the TOLIS we have been focused on creating land sanctuary‘s, but we also create sanctuary spaces when we meet together as leaders for our council meetings. We do this every quarter and the quarter that is in the spring we do a leaders summit. Whenever we cast a circle together as witches, or nature, centered people, people of indigenous traditions, that call the ancestors and the spirits of the land, and all our relations we are creating sanctuary spaces.
How do we create Sanctuaries that can help us face the estrangements naturecentric spiritual people feel with others in our wider communities? How can we create them as "safe", what does that word mean now to different circles, and how do we keep them safe? Share thoughts, actions that you are taking personally and/or with others in community and network so we can know each other better.
Inquire with us. Share with us. Learn and Grow with us.
Join us in our Circle of Support Networking Nature-Centered Group Leaders, Healers, Teachers, and Professionals!

Sarah Heartsong, who is our Main sanctuary Servant, will share her experience in a variety of ritual/ceremonial settings both in observing others techniques of Perfect timing and having some success and failures in her own Workings. Sarah's adept at setting up discussions and will call upon the Wisdom in the Room to help explore this subject. Her 20+ years of background in both types of "traditional learning", having both college and years of experiential learning walking in Naturecentric spiritual circles, provides fertile ground from which to share! Let's see what Wisdom we can cultivate together!
