Welcome into council, a circle to deepen into our ancestral origins restoring our connection to self, family and the more than human family. In circle we see our humanity, the ecology of a world trying to heal, so what is getting in the way? Why would we keep walking the trauma of our ancestors when a whole new world of possibility has opened up to us…This circle has evolved from the former ancestral grief circle. It’s true, grief is a part of the healing… but there is more to the story. What is it that we carry forth for the generations to come. Here we share our burdens, tell our stories and the stories of our lineage and set them free. This work sits alongside the story of this country. You see, we were colonised once, a long time ago, we brought it here and now we are been supported to unravel from those shackles.
What it looks like:
We open with an acknowledgment of country and custodians
Settle into relationship with the land, with nature as kin with a guided embodiment meditation, inviting the holding of the land
An invocation is shared to call in the ancestors to invite the holding of spirit
Open into sharing what is alive in a traditional sharing circle.
Each person is invited to speak an intention for healing, a prayer for repair.
The space is closed with gratitude to the holding of the land and the holding of our ancestors and other supportive guides.
We end with a shared potluck meal together.
This is a learning space, each persons story carrying a wisdom for the group. In this way, there is no hierarchy and so is the way of circle. Where trauma tears the fabric of life, prayer weaves it back.
Who’s the circle calling?
This circle is for anyone who is looking for a community and prayerful approach to healing. It is most effective for those who continue on this journey. It is no coincidence that familiar is in the the word family. This is a space for you to settle in, sink your roots in and feel the holding of country and kin.
Who’s holding the circle?
Karla brings over 15 years of journeying with old healing modalities from far and wide. With a quiet curiosity she followed her own threads of healing which eventually led her back to her Celtic origins. As a fith generation Australian Karla feels this country deep to her bones and also hears the faint echo of the remnants of her ancestors pulsing through her blood. Her love for country has led her across Australia to walk with First Nations people, lighting her heart to confront the pain of colonisation. If hurt people, hurt people… perhaps we can draw the line to say no more. In going to our core, our roots, we don’t need to bypass, we can make a stand, own our bit and walk the very long journey of repair. This is a step by step journey that we no longer need to take alone. Karla created Gather Australia to make solid ground to build up the hearth of community and the the heart of our shared humanity.
