Name: Council
Start: 2025-08-24T09:30:00-07:00
Location: HeartSpace Yurt

Council is a sacred gathering of people, serving as our equivalent to a traditional church service, where we come together to honor the earth, reflect, and connect.
Join us in circle, where we will offer guided meditation, ritual, music, teachings, discussion prompts. Together, we’ll explore values and belief systems rooted in various Indigenous and spiritual traditions, offering guidance and wisdom for living in harmony with ourselves, each other, and the earth.
All are welcome to participate in this inclusive space. Come as you are and leave grounded in the beauty and wisdom of Gaia.

A Note for New & Returning Attendees:
There is no formal dress code. All ages are welcome. Feel free to bring drinks, snacks, or anything to keep yourself or your little ones comfortable. We usually serve tea for a donation offering of $2.
+ Fragrance & Ritual: We use incense, sage, and palo santo as part of our rituals. These are meaningful and central to our practice. If you're sensitive to smoke, you're welcome to sit farther from the altar or step outside — we just ask that you respect the presence of these elements.
+ Timeliness & Presence: Please plan to arrive a few minutes early and stay for the full event. Coming or going during the event can disrupt the sacred container we’re holding together. We understand sometimes things happen that require a change of plans, but in general, please be considerate of the time commitment for this gathering.
+ Sharing Space: Council is a space where everyone is invited to share their wisdom and perspectives. Having an open mind and being respectful is central to our explorations. We also ask everyone to be mindful of how much space they’re taking up in conversation, and to leave room for those who haven’t spoken yet.
+ Pronouns & Inclusion: We honor each person’s identity. If you’d like to share your pronouns during introductions, this is a safe space to do so.
+ Accessibility: If you have any access needs or questions about participating, feel free to reach out beforehand.
+ Location Details:
Our councils are currently held at HeartSpace, a community yurt that is run on donations only. This is a beautiful gift offered by the owner, so we strongly encourage an offering of gratitude within your means (venmo or cash at time of event). GPS will guide you to the home at the end of the street (street parking is available). There is some directional signage for "Heartspace" around the house and garage which lead you through the garage, up the stairs, and to the back of the home where the yurt is. Please note that due to the stairs, the space is not wheelchair accessible. If you have any issues finding the event location, please call or text 509-742-0194 BEFORE the start time. After this time, the phone will be silenced in respect for the circle.
