The Practice of Stillness

Circle of Three

In episode 3, we accept that it is a daily, ongoing discipline to experience a stillness that has us listen deeply. Martha Postlewaite writes, “create a clearing in the dense forest of your life and wait there patiently.” We stepped into the forest, we found the courage to get completely lost and now, here we are, at the place where we patiently listen for the gifts given inside the stillness of a clearing.

Welcome to Circle of Three, a conversation between two friends and colleagues with an invitation to you, the listener, to step into the circle. Through poetry, story and an offering of personal and collective practices, Bonnie Loewen and Katharine Cherewyk aim to spark your own reflection — on your voice, your wisdom, and your practices of self discovery.
