Sharing Circle

Share With Us. Everyone Has Something To Offer.

If you’re reading this on your RSS feed, we are very glad to have you along. Even if you never make a post, you are still sharing with our circle, and we appreciate you.  However, I wanted to make a point to let people know that EVERYONE is welcome to post here.  In order to do so you just log in under “Meta,” set up your account, (it takes two seconds!) Check your email and then log in.  You will then see a dashboard and can begin posting–on whatever topic you like and would like to share. Follow on the flip for more information on the Native American tradition that inspired the creation of this site.

Sharing Circle

It is my understanding that in first nation traditions, (Native American and other indigenous peoples) that one of the things they would do is to come together in a sharing circle. A sharing circle is an opportunity to come together and talk about what is on your mind and heart, what you want the community to know, and things of that nature. These sharing circles doubtless brought and kept their communities closer together. In modern mainstream America, one of the things that are said again and again in surveys is that people feel isolated and they feel no sense of community. That is what this website, I think, is about…to give people a chance and space to share their feelings, thoughts, and their knowledge.

But a “sharing circle” was not the only kind of circle that some first nation peoples held.
