We’re still here for you, just online.
Welcome to Healing Circles Langley! We’re so glad you’ve found us. We’re here as a safe place to explore the heart of healing and the art of wellness. Perhaps you’ve found us because life is hard right now–you’re grieving, living with an illness, in pain, or caring for others. Perhaps you’re here to take care of yourself through meditation or embodied practices. Or you might be here to enjoy the blessings of community–of laughter and meaningful conversation–during a time of social isolation.
Please check our calendar for an online circle that would best fit you right now.
New Circles
ONLINE: A Next Step: A writing circle following the loss a loved one.
Writing Through Covid is like a season of being with and looking through a kaleidoscope of changes, experiences, and feelings.
Through this writing circle, we will focus on the healing and support of poetry, writing prompts, and journaling for living in these times.
4th Saturdays, 11-12:30 PST
Calendar
Our circle is about “discovering what death can teach us about living fully.” It will include reading, sharing thoughts, questions, inspirations evoked by the reading. It is not necessary to read the book ahead of time. The circle is open, participants come when they can. The conversations tend to be deep, meaningful, moving, funny, thought provoking–even life changing. This circle is currently full.

Writing Through Covid is like a season of being with and looking through a kaleidoscope of changes, experiences, and feelings. Times of quarantine, lockdown, and sheltering in. Times of retreating, pilgrimages, and contemplation. Times of re-evaluation, profound disequilibrium, and losses. Times of the deepening of values, creativity, self-care, and appreciation of nature. Through this writing circle, we will focus on the healing and support of poetry, writing prompts, and journaling. This will be a circle for honoring one’s experience of discovery and expression during this time of Writing Through Covid. This will not be about craft, techniques, or the critiquing of one’s writing. This circle is hosted by Kate Stivers, a counselor in Freeland. Over the years Kate has hosted many circles on loss and grief with Healing Circles Langley. Please contact Kate directly to register: kstivers@freeland.net If ever there was a time for working on our immunity, this would be it. This practice is designed to do that and lower our stress in the process. It’s a gentle practice that can be done sitting or standing. To register and for more information e-mail info@healingcircleslangley.org The practice is based on the work of Dr. Guan-Cheng Sun at the Institute for Qigong and Integrative Medicine in Bothell, WA. Please review this waiver: AGREEMENT OF RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY FORM Mindfulness meditation in the insight tradition is about seeing life as it really is, free from belief and delusion. By gently noticing and investigating sensations, thoughts and emotions, it trains the mind and opens the heart.

This winter, we will explore the key Buddhist heart qualities.
